Waiting Time by dkbarnett

Waiting Time

We flew back home yesterday from Queenstown to New Plymouth. Such a long day as our first flight was 7:00 am. We were sitting on the plane in Christchurch for the second leg to New Plymouth when a fuel pump problem meant we had to disembark. We were booked onto the first available flight which wasn't until 7:30 pm!

I took this photo at Christchurch airport.
Oh my! I have had a similar experience. Your image captures the scene and the mood.

Cool capture. That's why I don't like to fly. So many delays.

I love your composition - so much colour and so much interest.

This is a very atmospheric image, I especially like the lady on the left is clutching her head seemingly in total boredom, ties in well with your story of having to wait so many hours for a plane!
I see we are paired this week so I am going to set you a challenge that from my point of view is rather selfish. Having recently upgraded my X-T2 to n X-T5 I am in admiration of the long lens shots you get, e.g. Selfie queen, so can you do an architectural photo with the long lens that illustrates its ability to capture detail of the building? It could be an exterior or interior shot, high up or floor level, a single shot or collage.
Why do I say this is selfish of me? Well, I have an old Fujifilm XC50-230mm F4.5-6.7 OISII which I got second hand and the quality of the images is not good, so I am looking to upgrade but don’t know what lens to get and would love to see the capabilities of your lens. Also could you please say what the lens is that you are using? Cheers.
