sunday noon in Frankfurt

[Thomas Stellwag]

...The message body was left empty...I agree

[Frank Fremerey]

Wonderful. Another coffee earned! Inspiring.

[Anirban Halder]

Very inspiring. I especially like the last one!

[Jakov Minić]

Frankfurt is extremely crowded at noon!
The elevator is super!

[Thomas Stellwag]

thank you Frank, Anirban and Jakov for looking and commenting

not much people there - the place is in front of Bethmann school for bankers and they are not here on sundays
I played with BW settings in the camera

[elsa hoffmann]

The elevator is my favourite too. nice series.

[Thomas Stellwag]

thx Elsa for commenting

 the elevator was a collateral damage because no subway was coming

[Thomas Stellwag]

some more of the same day - still not many people, but one at least busy

[gryphon1911]

Really like that escalator image.  The processing is very nice on the B&W images as well.

[Thomas Stellwag]

thanks Andrew

 I was playing with BW mode in my DF, using the colour filters and contrast settings
 afterwards on my computer, I must say, the conversion at home gives me more freedom
 taking BW in place gives me more understanding for the outcome, means
 shooting BW plus RAW is the solution

[Fons Baerken]

Old style film like rendering underlines a feeling of destitute

[Thomas Stellwag]

Fons, destitute - how do you mean it? In the content of these pictures or in general?

this is a rich part of Frankfurt, the European Central bank is just 200m away
the subway is the Zoo station

[Fons Baerken]

destitute in the psychological sense, empty and lonely

[Thomas G]

First, third, last are to my linking. The first wins as of the light and the mood it transfers.

[John Geerts]

Agree with you Thomas. The first one has a compelling atmosphere, somehow.
