 This photo is taken at Copenhagen central station. This was the first place I thought of when I read the challenge brief. Every time I had to meet anybody at the station it was always under the clock. I don't usually takes photos like this, but I had a lot fun doing it, and a lot of people came up to asking what I was doing.

So many people come through the station each day, waiting for arriving or departing trains.

The photo is taken right when it gets dark, so the station is illuminated by the indoor lights, but the outside windows turn this dark saturated blue because of the tungsten white balance. I also have a bunch where it wasn't nearly as dark, but I really liked the blue color. I used a graduated gray filter to control light reflections.

Shot in raw, I used Lightroom 3 for raw conversion and lighted up the shadows with fill light. Luminance for noise reduction and sharpened a bit, and that was pretty much it.

I like the idea of a trainstation (I assume) and people rushing around, ofcourse at trainstations everyone is looking at the time. Too bad the clock isn't too visible. Also I wouldn't have left the ceiling in.
