    Hi,

    Very confusing - what is the Chunbaka type shadow in the top right? and the laser thingy in the mid left? and the white line on the left that cuts the photo in half?

    I understand that you were taking this through the window with all the refelections but they detract from the main part of the photo - the airport?

    How did you hold the camera so still were you on a tripod?

    At first I was going to take a picture of the busy airport. but then I saw the reflection of the seats. the two together fit my mood so I tried to get a picture that incorporated them both. I utilized the shadow on the chair I was siting on to get the part of the outside. the reflection took care of the inside.

    I'm not sure what you mean by the "Chunaka" shadow, but the vertical spots on the right half is dirt on the out side of the window.

    the red light was a warning light out side and the white streaks were the headlights from one of the smaller suport vechiles.you can follow it and seet it sitting there.

    I didn't have a tripod so I used the window and the cair rail to pin the camera on and then set the self timer so that the motion of pushing the shutter didn't effect thangs.

    Does it make any more sense now? I realize its very hectic. but that's what a airport is, on the outside. While inside it can be the opposite.

    Re: Waiting

    I think this is an interesting picture. I always love looking at all the things going on at the airport around the aircraft when I get a chance to travel. Those windows are tough to shoot through. My only complaint is the glare in the window, otherwise I like this picture a lot.
