Tile Mosaic, Penn Station, NY


Early morning commute on the 1, a few moments to kill between trains. A momento, a little piece of art, to take home. Processed in Adobe Camera Raw, the image was cropped and very slightly geometrically corrected.

Lighting in subway stations is harsh and unpredictable. In this case, it was mediocre, but the iPhone’s HDR capture mode helped to fill in the blown out specular highlight, and to even out the color. This made it easier to add vibrancy using the Saturation and Vibrance sliders. Very little exposure adjustment was needed as the iPhone did an excellent job in calculating the shutter speed.
