Union Terminal

USAIR

Went to the Omnimax Theater to see movie Forces of Nature it was very cool

Actually I haven't seen a show there I didn't like.

The screen at this theater is a 72 ft. tilted round dome so you get a huge field of view.
It's like being in the movie really feels weird sometimes.

Anyway got to shoot out in the lobby of the terminal.

I will have to go back I didn't get to shoot all I wanted.

I agree - the first shot is awesome. I really like the symmetry. You might try cloning out the banner in the upper left hand corner, it's the only thing that distracts from the image. Otherwise, great colors and good example of a centered composition that works nicely.

Hey Fred,

Excellent series of pic. I've shot in Union Station, D.C. and Grand Central in NYC and those old terminals have a feel that can't be duplicated. Good work.

Angelo

very nice. you seem to have captured the real lighting of the place.

These are very nice
It's a beautiful terminal, very good example of art deco (I hope I got the style right!)

USAIR

Thanks everyone
Greg I tried to do just that with the banner and made a mess of it.

The inside of those Terminals are cool they have a feel that you just cannot describe.
When it's full of kids the background noise gets extreamly loud.

My grandpa worked here as a maintenance man.
When I was very young, my grandma would tell me all the time that grandpa would fix that big clock....
that has story always stuck with me.

Dee you are right on Art Deco

Fred, I love the art deco look of the terminal. The image of the mural
is nice in that it incorprates the artists of the WPA as well as the building.
During the WPA era, jobs often hired artists to document construction in
addition to decorating structures. This series is a nice example of that.
