Matej, there are no security issues with photography in the subways in Japan, and if you choose the right time of day you can find less crowded platforms and escalators. Of course the crowding is a part of the scene, so one doesn't want to avoid it altogether. Jostling is a problem, though... unintentional but unavoidable.

You're right Christian, apart from the man in the white shirt on the left there is also a woman heading upstairs. The separation between shadows and lower midtones is (unsurprisingly) better in the print than in the scan, but as Audrey suggests, it may still pay off to dodge them a little when I make a proper print (the one I scanned this from is just a small proof print).

Yes, I'm sure 6x6 would suit this place well - and even if not, with that kind of negative size, you can crop till you drop. What are the possibilities in Japan of shooting in the subway? (in terms of number of people rushing past you, security issues, etc.)

Of this series, this is the one I prefer. It may well be because of its classic compositional qualities. Audrey : I see two persons, there is also one going up the stairs on the right, though very dark. The print must have a larger dynamic range.

Now there's a place I'd like to try my new 30mm Arsat fisheye! It might suit the square (6 x 6)format, too... I hear lots of good things about Fomapan. It seems to work well for you.

Yes, I agree with Josh this set of three are really nice Matej. The shades and tones are very nice and the milky, shiny floor/ground really pops! Of the three, I like this one the best. My first thought was wish there was a person in the frame...but there he is!! I wonder if you might dodge 'him' a bit so that he stands out more?
