Yet another departure delay - another departure lounge - another standard airport view… but something a little extra.
A standard (Düsseldorf Terminal C) airport departure scene but shot through a moisture & hyphae soaked blown triple-glazed panel with the focus on the panel.
Why oh why - do they call it a “Departure Lounge”? when the hard plastic seats are as uncomfortable as can be tolerated and there are never enough seats for the full complement of passengers boarding the aircraft?
I have no real knowledge or how to properly use black and white conversions tools in any program, as I rarely do B&W. This was a happy accident while blindly shoving sliders in ART’s Black-and-White tool. I can’t tell you why the sky went black at a certain setting of the red slider, but it happened completely within a one per cent change of the slider, as I recall. So I wonder if it’s an artifact of data relationships (if that makes sense). At any rate, once it happened I liked it so I tweaked at it a bit then spent the rest of my time trying to make something of it. Other tool-twiddling ensued.
I like the dreamy quality, but that’s also a reflection of the very interesting original shot.
That’s because after sitting on those chairs long enough, part of your body eventually fall off. The original name, “De-Part-You Lounge” was eventually corrupted to Departure Lounge.
