The high contrast works perfectly for this. Sharp shiny modern.
gotta love the escalator shot!

Great picture you submitted here ! I love the tones ! How do you get this "cold atmosphere" ? Thanks to a blue filter ? Or something like that (more sophisticated or simple

Thanks Romain! Actually I shoot all my work in colour so I can enjoy the greatest flexibility with the image. This treatment is an approximation of the duotone process, essentially a 'blue and white', rather than a 'black and white'. It's done using the Channel Mixer for b+w conversion then a Colourise filter to replace shades of grey with shades of blue.
Thanks so much for the fav, I really appeciate it!

There's people hidding everywhere in this place. Doesn't anyone actually go to catch any planes?
Neat architecture in this place though, great for shooting.
Pictures ... I mean ...
P.S. to answer someone's question, the font does seem to be acurate morse.

lol yeah this place is kinda out of the way - the commuting hordes are all behind the shot. Taking another look, you're right, Morse it is. Thanks!

Really well captured, nicely composed
It's a new look at escalators.
When one look at it, cutting the backgroung (the walls with the pics), it gets really abstract and one loose the feeling of height in it

Thanks Roland. Yeah I wish a lot of that background clatter wasn't there, particularly the scaffold, but heck it's more work than it's worth it to remove I think.

The pic is really beautiful indeed. I saw that cause I had to scroll it on my screen to see the bottom part

Thanks mate. Do you think my vertical shots are too big?

My pleasure 
Not at all when they are nice and clear
And its easy to resize them in Explorer

Here's a tip - get Firefox and the Image Zoom extension and you can resize images right in the browser with a flip of the mouse wheel.. what's more, it's free!

I got Firefox but, for dA, I like Explorer better. To resize the image I only drag it in the top bar and bingo

looks like someone's grinding down the escalator.. hehe

lol yeh i guess it does.. you see the world through different eyes Alistair, and that's a damn good thing!

hehe it wasnt till after this post that I realised that you were taking this from the top

very nice! its almost abstract! the blue tones look really good too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
another nice shot. what really does it for me is this new blue tone that you seem to be using in your shots. i really like it, gives it a cold feeling.

Thanks Chris, yeh I seem to have a thing for this blue treatment atm, at least it seems to work well to promote a sense of isolation/impersonality/cold. Expect me to get tired of it soon tho lol!

hehe, try some other colors as well, but use the same lightness. maybe a yellow or green?
