[tweetmeme]It amazes me how much abstract architecture there is in a train station. In this collection I’ve put together 16 of the most inspiring train station photos from the web. The next time you’re waiting for a train, pull out your camera and go for a walk. Hopefully this collection will give you a few ideas.

Quick Tips for Train Station Photography:

Symmetry: Almost all of these photos bare a symmetry, and this produces a truly stunning effect when you’re dealing with architecture.

Colours: The majority of these photos are in black and white, or are heavily desaturated with an accentuated blue element to them. This combination appears to be very effective, and adds a cool, crisp feel to the photos.

Abstraction: Look at how the photograph moves. The way the photographers have captured some of the abstract lines in these photos is astounding.

Movement: A train station is a lively place. Try to capture this in your photo
