I Shot These Sci-Fi Photos in Subway Tunnels

What do you find when you search for Copenhagen on popular photo sites? Generally it’s Nyhavn, the 17th-century waterfront and entertainment area. But not only that: to my surprise, I also found some cool science fiction subway shots taken out of the subway system.

In fact, I liked these so much that I spent a full afternoon in the tubes when visiting Copenhagen last weekend. These are not rendered shots out of a movie, no, they’re real photos taken with exposures ranging from 1-3 seconds from the back of the metro.

The metro does not have a driver. I had to go back and forth on the system a lot to capture these properly.
