I waited in the station for at least 20 mins for a single clear shot, and it was not easy. Fortunately I had one satisfied.
I am inspired by many things. Musically by the genius of Miles Davis, hence my title which refers to, IMHO, one of the best jazz albums of all time. Likewise I come to Flickr for photographic inspiration. My views on photography and indeed the many genres of photography that I attempt have been heavily influenced by so many talented people here on Flickr. One of them is Joseph Pearson Images, a London architectural photographer who has photographed so many of the same buildings and structures around London that I have but both of us do it in our own way. Its always interesting for me to see his take on a building that I am very familiar with myself and see what his 'eye' picked out. Usually it's something I've missed and so my education continues!
Yesterday Joseph posted a picture of one of my favourite underground stations here in London, Southwark station, and it got me looking back at some of the pictures I've taken over the years in this most photogenic of stations. I was surprised to see that I'd never posted this escalator shot so thought I'd do so now. Taken pre-covid, way back in 2019.
London has 270 underground stations, many of which are very old and great fun to photography - 150 year-old stations like Baker Street are wonderful. One of the newer lines, the Jubilee line, built some 25 years ago, also has a variety of stations that are also well worth a visit with a camera (if you can avoid security that is). Jubilee Line stations like Canary Wharf and Southwark are much photographed as is this station at Westminster. It has a brutalist feel with acres of bare concrete and these cross section struts to hold everything in place. It has a different feel to it than any other station in the network. Some love it's design, some hate it. I'm a lover.

A London classic.
Very much inspired by the many that have gone before. Following in well trodden footsteps. Many thanks to those that lead the way - you know who you are.
This is at Waterloo Underground Station on the moving walkway transit between the Northern Line and the futuristic Jubilee Line. This is the stationary part inbetween the 2 moving walkways.I have taken a few pictures here before as it is one of the rare Travelators on the system and is especially attractive with a metallic sheen
The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10mm. 3 images for HDR. The image was processed with Photomatix 6 using Tone balancer for a natural look.. Overall detail was brought up with Topaz Clarity. Next on a duplicate layer I used unsharp mask amount 31 amount and 31 radius for more pop. I used brightness adjustment layer to bring down some highlights using a layer mask

I have shot this one at Southwark Station a couple of years ago, but wanted to try it with the Fuji, along with processing through Lightroom, and prefer these results. Was lucky to get it nearly desserted but love this station almost as much as London Bridge, its the same line but very differently designed.
Originally taken in October 2018 as one of an HDR set of exposures, the 0EV exposure has now been converted to B&W using Silver Efex Pro 2 and processed using DxO Photolab 4.
Canary Wharf is a London Underground station at Canary Wharf and is on the Jubilee Line between Canada Water and North Greenwich, and was opened on 17 September 1999 as part of the Jubilee Line Extension. Over 40 million people pass through the station each year, making it second busiest on the London Underground outside Central London. Above ground there is little sign of the vast interior: two curved glass canopies at the east and west ends of the station cover the entrances and allow daylight into the ticket hall below. The Jubilee Park, a public park is situated between the two canopies, above the station concourse. In a 2013 poll conducted by YouGov, it was voted as the "Most Loved" tube station in London.

Charing Cross Underground Station, London, England
Well, a big Hello again everyone! I thought I better upload a photo to let you all know I am still here.
My apologies for not uploading as of late, I have had a break away from my photography. I felt that I needed some time away from my photography, I found myself editing photos and never being entirely happy with them which I found quite frustrating which meant they never got uploaded. I feel this break has helped me and refreshed my eyes and I seem to be enjoying editing my photos and taking photos again. I have also recently got married so enjoying married life and also been concentrating on my swimming, another passion of mine.
However I now have a list as long as my arm of places I want to visit, especially back down in London. Been seeing loads of new places to photograph down in London so want to visit them, being over 200 miles away from London now I don't get chance to visit down there as much as I would like to.
Anyway, I am glad to be back, have I missed anything? ;-)
Location Information
Charing Cross (sometimes informally abbreviated as Charing X) is a London Underground station at Charing Cross in the City of Westminster with entrances located in Trafalgar Square and The Strand. The station is served by the Northern and Bakerloo lines and provides an interchange with the National Rail network at Charing Cross station. On the Northern line it is between Embankment and Leicester Square stations on the Charing Cross branch, and on the Bakerloo line it is between Embankment and Piccadilly Circus stations. The station is in Travelcard Zone 1. The station was served by the Jubilee line between 1979 and 1999, acting as the southern terminus of the line during that period.
For most of the history of the Underground the name Charing Cross was associated not with this station but with the station now known as Embankment.
Southwark Underground Station, London, England
By far one of my favourite Underground stations on the London Underground network, I always seem to find something new to photograph here everytime I visit.
I have some excellent news that I would like to share with you. I have had some of my photos displayed and on display in a small exhibition at The Trafalgar Square Hotel in Leicester Square, London with the help of ArtVogue. This is a really big achievement for me and also a first for me. I will get some photos up when shortly but you are best visiting it in person, it will be on display over Christmas and if your in London pop over to have a look. Hope you enjoy it.

Location Information
Southwark is a London Underground station in the London Borough of Southwark at the corner of Blackfriars Road and The Cut. It is between Waterloo and London Bridge stations on the Jubilee line and is in Travelcard Zone 1. It was opened on 20 November 1999 as part of the Jubilee Line Extension. The station is somewhat west of historic Southwark, which is served by Borough tube station and London Bridge station. Its entrance is across the street from the disused Blackfriars Road railway station.
The original plan for the Extension did not include a station between those at Waterloo and London Bridge; Southwark station was added after lobbying by the local council, it is in fact sited right next to the borough's boundary with Lambeth at Joane Street. Although it is close to Waterloo, not near the Bankside attractions it was intended to serve, and its only National Rail interchange is to London Waterloo East main line station; the passenger usage matches those of other minor central stations. It does however get over double the traffic of nearby Borough station and around triple Lambeth North.
Another I have shot before a few years ago, was passing through with my camera, Would like to get this one without people on it but there seemed to be a steady stream. The Jubilee line has some great stations, from the modern designs at London Bridge to Stratford on the extension to the original line, to these. Processed in Lightroom this time as opposed to Photoshop when I did before, always interesting to see how my techniques have changed.
Golds and Browns that is - Bermsondsey on the Jubilee Line and the less obvious shot than the escalator perspective I got before here - in fact over the years have collated a few shots - would like to ptocess my original ones as I have this one actually!
This was a shot of Canary Wharf station on the Jubilee Line (as well as others!) of the London Underground. I really like the way the oval shape of the glass roof and surrounding concrete frame the escalators in the scene.

I actually went slightly off centre on purpose, not sure if the right decision or not. Canary Wharf Station on a Saturday and I know this shot is not original but I played with the settings (yes, all of them!) and the processing options (all of them too!) to get my own style and take on it. Its just whether the lack of symmetry will annoy me or not lol
Charing Cross Underground Station, London, England
Oh my! You would not believe how long it took me to upload this photo, hours!! It seems that the Flickr and Lightroom upload plugin are a bit glitchy at the moment since downloading the latest version of Lightroom CC and it just kept returning error message after error message everytime I tried uploading it. Also I have noticed when you do finally get it uploaded, the tags you pain painstakingly put into Lightroom have not uploaded along with the photo so then you then have to put them in manually. I am sure Flickr will get it fixed but I can see how it can put some photographers off.
Phew! Anyway, this is one my photos from the Charing Cross Hidden London tour that I took during the Summer. Such a really enjoyable tour and got to see parts of the tube I never thought I would get to see.

This was a shot of Southwark station on the Jubilee Line of the London Underground. I really liked the colour of the walls as well as the shadow that is projected above the central light housing structure. This is also my first published shot from my new Fujifilm X-M5 camera!
As time goes by you would think it harder to find these quieter moments in London and on the Underground in Particular, but this was at lunchtime, a swathe of people got of the train and I was left alone on the platform with camera in hand. Only one thing for it then!
London Bridge Underground Station, London, England
It doesn't matter how many times I visit London Bridge Underground station but I always managed to get lost within its labyrinth of tunnels and escalators, anyone else get this problem?
Like many other Underground stations, London Bridge is a mishmash of different architectures and styles from different eras. What I really like about this tunnel is the clinical feel and clean lines, mixed with the emptiness in this photo it can feel quite unnerving to many people who witness a tunnel on the London Underground like this.
I can't wait for my next trip down to London, really looking forward to exploring the new part of Tottenham Court Road station that has been recently opened not to mention I have a few spiral staircases I want to photograph too.
I don't know why but everytime I look at this tunnel it always reminds me of the game Screwball Scramble that I use to play as a kid, not sure why but it just triggers that memory of mine, anyone else remember that game?
Location Information
London Bridge is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in Southwark, occupying a large area on two levels immediately south-east of London Bridge and 1.6 miles (2.6 km) east of Charing Cross. The main line station, which is the oldest railway station in London fare zone 1 and one of the oldest in the world having opened in 1836, contains nine terminal platforms and six through-platforms for services from the south and south-east of London. Through services continue to Charing Cross or Cannon Street. In terms of passenger arrivals and departures it is the fourth-busiest station in London as well as the United Kingdom as a whole, handling over 54 million customers a year. (These statistics do not include the many commuters who transfer between lines at the station.)
London Bridge is served by Thameslink trains running between Bedford and Brighton as well as Southeastern services from Cannon Street to destinations in southeast London, Kent and East Sussex. It is also the terminus for Southern commuter and regional services to south London and numerous destinations in South East England.
The main line station is one of 19 UK stations managed by Network Rail. The Underground station is served by the Jubilee line and the Bank branch of the Northern line. It consists of a ticket hall and entrance area with its main frontage on Tooley Street, along with entrances on Borough High Street, as well as within the main line station concourse and a corridor under the through-platforms (currently 1–3).
London Bridge is one of two main line termini in London to the south of the River Thames, the other being Waterloo. For this reason, neither has a direct connection to the Circle line.
