Ok before it happens please do not attack his/her thread with "I'm glad you wern't arrested by homeland security".

Ok now that this is taken care of I really like the shot! I really like the lighting! Great shot!

That's a very cool shot. Nicely done.

I spend a great deal of time in airports and surrounding areas. I have taken my camera out at will and shot anything that I wanted and have never been stopped or questioned. I think there are those that are a little paranoid about this homeland security thing at airports.

This afternoon I was at DFW and was standing outside at the end of one of the terminals with my camera with the 100-400 on. Several police drove by and nary a question.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Amazing shot, what time of day was it and where was it? Whenever I am in airports (and trust me, that is a lot) the place is full of people. This just looks surreal.

Love it

Thanks everyone for the posts... and no I didn't get arrested for this shot, as a matter of fact I always carry my photo equipment as carry on, and when I get bored at airport terminals, I'll usually pass time with my camera... and shoot a little, I see others doing it too, and haven't seen problems arise... may be just lucky? And about this particular shot, I took it at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, which by the way is awesome, with a similar feel to Hong Kong's Chep Lap Kok, and I framed it from the scond floor at the very end of a terminal.... the sun had just gone down, and I actually had to wait for people to appear in the frame, to give some perspective, without the people, I think it would be really hard to figure out what the place was.. Had no tripod and leaned against the rail, fired at one sixth/sec at f2.8 on ISO 80, channels were slightly manipulated, and this is the full frame.

nice shot 8)

... i take pics in airpots all the time... never been stopped or questioned once. why? ummmm lets see.... cause its not illegal?

how many people here have been to an airport and seen a sign that says no photography?

i was snapping pics like a mad man at bwi (baltimore washington international), and you would think, that if anywhere, photography wouldnt be allowed there.

some people are just paranoid.

JKC this is an awesome shot and I love the warm/cool colors interfering and the architechture. I really like your attempt at making it as semetrical as possible.


I know this is against the idea of this post, but sometimes I wish security would loosen their belts a little bit sometime in the future. I don't hate the folks though. But anywhere that I go and set my tripod up, people will stare and wonder. haha.

This was in the United States. This was taken in a Hawiian airport. They are the same as a mainland airport.

And about this particular shot, I took it at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Is Kuala Lumpur in Hawaii? I don't know----I'm such a dope. :oops:

Excellent shot! Well seen!

Thanks again for comments, and yes, I almost attained perfect symetry, but probably the structure itself is flawed! Just kidding... and Kuala Lumpur is in Malaysia.

i pulled my camera out in a metro station not too long back...big mistake, security came runnin a few moments later...

i always carry my camera on the plane too...just havent dared to tried shooting, international airports its a big no no most of the time...havent even dared in the US lately

my friends girlfriend is a engineeer and a architectual photography as a hobby, she loves bridges...one day she took a picture of the big bridge in her city and the FBI came to her door to ask questions...no joke

[JCK]

Blinking8s- Wow, that's a tad excessive, isnt'it?

[izzypizzy]

i pulled out my video camera and started shooting on an airplane last week and nobody said anything.. i didnt even think twice about it heh..

awesome shot btw:)

Ooooo, I was thinking how great it might look if there were no people in it.
:) Too bad you didn't shoot it both ways.
I can tell you for sure, peoplein the N.Y./N.J. metropolitan area are pretty paranoid-both those takingpictures and those in law enforcement.

Rick, It never once crossed my mine to shoot it empty, but now that you mention it, i wish I had. This is exactly the reason why i like this forum. Thanks!

What a shot! They can always be taken back out... putting them in is hard ;-)
