The Waiting Room

Hi Monophoto, I see nice tones and what must be brilliant highlights in the ceiling but the geometry bothers me: the right side of the corridor is liend-up with the image boundary but the prominent center pillars hang over to the right.
Also the flag in the top left corner does not work for me.

That's a fantastic find and image; I love old train stations, columns and "upstate" NY (though in this case, Utica really IS UPstate, unlike Yonkers). A really beautiful restoration and that ceiling is very reminiscent of Union Station, DC. Go figure
I imagine you've been to the more humble but beautiful Hudson, NY Station?

Argus - thanks for pointing out the tilt problem. I think it's fixed now. Not sure what happened - I distinctly recall leveling and plumbing the camera.

Vic - My experience with the Hudson train station is that it is one of the regular stops on the trip to New York. But I will definitely add it to my list of places to photograph.

Actually, I was alerted to the Utica station by a segment on the local TV news - "one-tank trips", or day trips that one can make on one tank of gas. A concern that I have is that with all the paranoia these days, walking into a train station with a big camera and tripod is likely to cause the cops to arrive in force. While I was photographing in Utica, my wife was hunting for the ladies room and got into a conversation with the station master. He was actually very pleased that I want to photograph "his" station, and offered to move things around to make the pictures more interesting. He also encouraged me to come back - which I plan to do.

What a great place! Have fun there.
