Even Fuerteventura Airport has 'Big Skies'

The last of my holiday / vacation images.

I was going to post another sand dune / big sky image from earlier in the week, but decided I had to do a picture of the 'said day', so I chose one took in the 'outside waiting' area in the departure lounge of Fuerteventura Airport.

You get big skies on the island of Fuerteventura, so the airport seemed an appropriate place to show a 'last big sky'.

I've gone almost 'high key' in the B/W conversion because I liked the way the conversion really made the airport lettering stand out.

Anyway last pic of the holiday, I'm about a week behind in posting so expect of rush of 'phil images' uploaded over the weekend

Great black & white of the "big sky"..looking forward to the rush of uploads.

Good b/w choice. I love how the pole from the letters leads to the sky.

I really like how the eye travels up the lines of tables - a neat perspective. The huge sky and lettering are fantastic, and black and white keeps us really focused on these parts of the photo. So yes, repetition, lines, big sky and wonderful lettering and I like the more high key approach to this. Nice one Phil!

An outdoor airport ! Cool picture !

Now that's the way to do it - outdoors!! I like your half busy half sky thing here - definitely not a letterbox candidate!!

This scene intrigues me, Phil! Very interesting shot

@patsyjphillips Thanks Patsy, well perhaps not so much a 'rush', more a 'flutter' :)

@sueb Thanks Sue, yes i like how the letters appear 'bold' :)

@kerristephens Cheers Kerri, I do like B/W

@gill Thanks Gill, I like your comments and the letters and 'emergency exit' signs are my fave bits :)

@happypat Thanks Pat ....it is unusual to have an outdoor section of a departure lounge :)

@judithg Judith , I could not possibly letterbox this :) without losing some impact. As for being outside, well that was a bonus apart from the smoke drifting over from a few people having a last cigarette !!

@cath Thank you Catherine, it was in effect shot blind because I had a low angle of view ....just above our table !!

Ace shot - very well observed and the processing is great
May 6th, 2011  
@whippeteer Frances, thanks for your support. My processing is always a bit hit and miss, I just move a few slider bars in photoshop elements until I'm happy with what I see :)

Very cool picture Phil.
May 6th, 2011  
cool B&W - great shots from your hols!
May 6th, 2011  
@tashy thanks tashy, it doesn't seem a week ago since we were there :)

@sparkle Juliette, I'm pleased you liked my holiday shots :), back to struggling with local 'shoots' now !!!
May 7th, 2011  
@phil_howcroft I'm on a big struggle at the minute as I'm spending so much time travelling...we'll struggle on together!!
May 7th, 2011  
@sparkle Juliette, I think it's a bit of a 'struggle' to get a picture a day no matter where we are !!!
May 7th, 2011  
@phil_howcroft LOL! you're probably right!
May 7th, 2011  
...this is cool in B&W, and you're right about getting the lettering to stand out, like the 'horizontal' feel to it.

@sparkle @phil_howcroft ..ah The Struggle, the struggle continues..but its worth it, ..and both you guys are quite inspiring.
May 8th, 2011  
@sleepdozer57 thanks Peter, I only consider my pictures average , so your ' inspiring' line is most welcome .....although we can all sometimes manage to pull off a good shot in our 365 :)
May 8th, 2011  
Big winds, big sky! Nice shot - and I like that the letters are half-obscured and from the back .. welcome back, Phil! :o)
