Hi Jean Yves,
Airports are always facinating. It always gives you the first impression of the country you are visiting. This is a nice presentation. Nice perspective. You see two sides of daily life here. Lots of people busy with refreshment on the upper deck. On the lower level the staff sitting idle.
Have a nice weekend.

Salut, Jean-Yves -

A nice TE travel shot - we are all too familiar with airport terminals! Nicely handled light and positioning of the people.

I am a little surprised you were able to take this photo in our security-obsessed age.

Best,
Dan

Dear JY,

How did you get this picture? The security of airports don't like cameras in action. There are few people to check-in. Here we often have long waiting lines. Excellent colors, light and great sharpness.

Have a nice weekend
Leonor

Jean Yves
Image un peu inhabituelle avec la salle d'enregistrement quasi déserte et les cafés et restaus envahis. Tu pars pour de nouvelles aventures?
Amitiés
JJ

Hello Jean Yves,
Great airport shot! It seems nowedays, people go to airports to eat rather than fly! All those check-in agents chatting with one another, bored and without passengers, while the upstairs food court is packed. Great sharpness and good management of light, it seems like there is natural light as well as artificial and you got them balanced nicely.
Have a great weekend! Dasha

Hi Jean Yves,
An usual picture! Empty check-in desks where usually chaos rules. A fine composition with the red bands horizontally and the very few people here.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Ciao Jean,
immagine da foto-reporter con la immagine che riesce a immortalare chi arriva e chi parte.Ottima risoluzione.
saluti

Hola Jean Yves.
I'm surprised to see very few passengers checking, usually have to wait a while for the amount of people who are traveling.
Your high POV allows us to enjoy the second floor with a restaurant and shops. Very good sharpness, colors and framing.
Have a nice weekend.
Best regards.

je connais ce hall on y a dormi au retour d'Inde, nous etions passés de 35 deg C a 5 deg C

Salut JY
Ta destination surprise tu me l'as déjà dévoilée, je garde le secret jusque ta prochaine image.
Intéressant point de vue dominant, les voyageurs semblent se faire de plus en plus rares.
Amitiés

Salut Jean Yves ... und gruesse nach Dubai ... sei froh, hier regnet es, ziemlich mies. Hier hat schon manche Reise begonnen, auch fuer mich, und immer wieder und hoffentlich noch ganz lang. Hier hole ich aber auch oft ab, letztmals im Juli und bringe wieder hin, manchmal froh, die Gaeste los zu haben (ist mir gottseidank erst ein Mal passiert ... LOL ...) ... aber manchmal auch eher nicht und ich moechte gleich mit fliegen. Ja "lost in translation" koennte man auch hier sagen, diese Zwischenwelt, man kommt nie richtig an, versteht den anderen nicht etc. etc. aber man ist eine kurze Zeit lang auch "befreundet", man sitzt im gleichen Boot. Beste Gruesse, gutes Reisen ... Barbara.

Hello Jean Yves
Have a nice nice time with the next adventure. Beautiful image with good detail and a composition beautifully presented. I like these lines by the balcony and the barriere.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi JY. You have captured this place so well.The two spaces dividing the frame horizontally is agreeable.It's nice to see it so empty, but the pieces of action going on only serve to emphasise the vastness of the space.using the available light has produces some nice colour. Regards Kevin

Hallo Jean Yves,
wie ich der Kritik von Barbara entnehmen konnte ging deine Reise nach Dubai. Bei dem ständigen Nebel und den tristen Novembertagen hier im Donautal, könnte ich glatt neidisch werden. So ein paar Sonnentage würden mir sicher auch gut tun. Dem Bild nach zu urteilen, warst du zu einer aussergewöhnlichen Zeit an den Schaltern. Da ist ja fast nichts los, oder ist das noch die Wirtschaftskrise. Guter POV und sehr gute Bildqualität.
Ich wünsche dir eine aufregende aber doch erholsame Zeit am persischen Golf.
Helmut

Hello JP,

Only a keen photographer would be concerned about snapping the scene at an airport rather than checking-in his luggage!
Nice 'thirds' composition which is sharp and detailed.
This looks much quieter than my visits to airports!

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

jemaflor (39183) 2009-11-16 10:37

Salut JY,
C'était un jour de grève ? le lieu est bien vide ! Bien vu cette composition avec ces deux niveaux, le contraste est intéressant.

toto (18681) 2009-11-19 21:40

bonjour,
belle photo de ce chemin forcé que l' on met dans les aéropords.
Belle vue d' en haut, cela permet d' en avoir un autre aperçut.
Bien vu et bien pris.

Amitiés Thomas
