Frankfurt Airport Photo

Photographer’s Note

Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt am Main Airport (IATA: FRA, ICAO: EDDF), known in German as Flughafen Frankfurt am Main or Rhein-Main-Flughafen is an international airport located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 12 km (7 mi) southwest of the city centre. Run by Fraport,it is by far the busiest airport by passenger traffic in Germany, the third busiest in Europe and the ninth busiest worldwide in 2008. It serves the most international destinations in the world and is the busiest airport in Europe by cargo traffic. The southern side of the airport, Rhein-Main Air Base, was a major airlift base for the United States from 1947 until late 2005, when it was acquired by Fraport.

The airport is directly located in the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region, Germany's second largest metropolitan area, which itself has a central location in the densely populated region of west-central Europe. Thereby, along with a strong rail and motorway connection, the airport serves as a major transportation hub to the greater region, less than two hours by ground to Cologne, the Ruhr Area, and Stuttgart.

There are plans to expand Frankfurt Airport with a fourth runway and a new Terminal 3. First modifications to the airport to make it Airbus A380 compatible are completed, including the first building of a large A380 maintenance facility near the former U.S. Air Base. The work on the fourth runway has been delayed several times due to environmental concerns, but received zoning approval in December 2007. The runway could be in operation by 2010.

Frankfurt is a hub of Lufthansa, the German national carrier. Lufthansa's secondary hub is Munich Airport where many key medium and long haul routes are available, lessening the need to overburden Frankfurt Airport.

I like the colors of pink and purple tone, and the vanishing point lines that lead us toward the end. The quality is not the best in clarity and sharpness, but for a hand held and you'are on a moving platform it seem, and the low light, it's a decent shot, showing the long long tunnel like terminal. I got tunnel vision just looking at this.

Bonsoir, cher ami Danos,
Voilà comment l'on apprécie un photographe sachant passer du figuratif (paysages, etc.) à du contemporain, tout en maîtrisant les deux formes.
L'effet de perspective est remarquable.
La ligne de fuite est parfaite.
Très bonne réalisation.
Amitiés.

Hi Danos,
Amazing perspective, light and colours (or should I say just colour?). I bet it wasn't just a matter of luck getting the "right" amount of people in the most appropriate place.
Regards,
José

avene (10894) 2009-06-18 20:34

hello Danos,
the strong purple colour fits nicely with the futuristic view of the airport, the tunnel seems to be drawing the viewer right in, and looks like that is exactly what is happening to those people, they are disappearing into the tunnel :)
in any case, for me the colour is what makes the photo attractive.

best,
Kristine

Kalispera Danos,
Your composition really captures the feel of the modern airport: an impersonal sense of movement!! Although happily it lacks the crushing feeling of crowds. Very well done.

PaulVDV (5068) 2009-06-20 4:35

Hello Danos,
It looks like this tunnel is endless. I've gone once through it but then it was crowded and I had no idea you could take such a fantastic picture there.
Very nice colours and graphical effect.
Best regards, Paul

bertolucci (11976) 2009-06-20 6:15

Kalispera Dano,
You caught the futuristic aspect of this famous airport very well. I switched trains at the integrated "Fernbahnhof" last January. Superb architecture.
I love the strong perspective and the feel of being on the move. I also dig the distribution of the passengers in the frame. An evocative travel pic!
Have a fine weekend,

I'm not German but Swiss, but your picture attracted my attention due to the strange colors, violet. Must be the effects of the artificial light. It's a beautiful architectural shot with real great DOF and very vibrant color. Well done.

Nice and dynamic composition.

JCG (24899) 2009-06-23 22:01

Hello Danos,

Travelator or not travelator !!! Superb place to exert its talents of photographer… This corridor is does not finish any and gives an exceptional prospect. I like much the light and the colors which brings an atmosphere of serenity I find. A beautiful architecture. Well done Danos, cheer.
