I like this image alot Jeanette

its a very unusual vision

by the way, I just posted another version of the image u commented on. The first one looked good on my computer but when i posted it it became noisy. the new one still has some noise in it. how do I get rid of it?

thank you

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 1/15/2006

Jeanette,

I wouldn't think something as simple as an escalator could be so interesting. However, you have an uncanny ability to bring the most mundane of the everyday world into a view that really puts a new perspective on it.

I love all of your work. I find it utterly amazing that you're able to let your eye see these things so easily. How are you able to train yourself to see in such a way. It's truly remarkable. I wish you could show us how you do it.

Best Regards!

Kemal Kekeva {K:3958} 1/9/2006

excellent way of showing depth
Best regards

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 1/7/2006

Thanks Roger for looking into my portfolio. I think i change my way of working along the way.... before i did a lot of portraits and of course abstracts, but i find architecture more and more interesting!

I see you have a fascination with geometrical forms and perspectives, particularly in buildings. Your kind comment on the Tokyo "eye" encouraged me to visit your portfolio, which I find fascinating. Your vision is much more selective than mine... you encourage me to look around me with new interest. Thank you!

György Szönyi {K:10011} 1/5/2006

Excellent capture, Jeanette, the yellow is really important. One rarely sees the excalator from this particular perspective and without people. Greetings: György

Patrick Cowley {K:2095} 1/2/2006

you never cease to amaze me...was this taken at the sj station?

Ayhan Savasan {K:184} 12/30/2005

Paulo Martel {K:2550} 12/28/2005

This is a great picture - the kind of thing you see everyday, but shot in a very nice angle. I also agree about keeping the yellow lines, they add a very nice touch to the picture.

Regards,
Paulo

nice serie of arquitecture particulars, nice compositions

Hugo de Wolf {K:185110} 12/22/2005

Hi Jeanette, generally speaking, it's not easy to shoot something as "common" as this escalator. And image quality wise, I can see a few glitches, such as the slight over exposure in the steps (which I think you tried to dodge) but the angle and the feeling of depth makes up for it. In that essence, it's an awesome shot; very good point of view, staying away from the symmetry and all, without loosing the feel for the height because of the converging lines in the image. Very well done.

Cheers,

Hugo

Massimo C. {K:1073} 12/22/2005

So simple... such a common subject...
but so perfectly balanced and interesting!
I think this is a very difficult result to achieve.

...not for u, obviously :)

Nandor Lang {K:1257} 12/19/2005

Iteresting perspective. Vertigo!!!

Lalage {K:2412} 12/8/2005

Fabulous perspective!!! The yellow is beautiful there, too.

v i k t o r h u g o {K:562} 12/7/2005

Hola Jeanette, me encantaq esta foto tuya. Es una composicion perfecta. felicidades.

alberto baez duarte {K:8175} 12/6/2005

Real deep...excellent perspective ...I imagine this is in the Metro in Stockholm...is it..?? great city and country I visited some time ago....love to go back again.
congratulations for the picture and the city and country..!!!

{K:26013} 12/4/2005

The fact that you tilted the photo added to the image. It makes it look steeper and I think you did the right thing by keeping the color.

Joggie van Staden {K:41700} 12/2/2005

An excellent shot taken at the perfect angle Jeanette. I noticed the reflection of two persons - yet cannot see them - make the image even more interesting. Great work!
Joggie

Rima Dario {K:4427} 12/2/2005

Bello scatto.
Ciao.

jude . {K:14625} 12/2/2005

Yummy!

{K:12249} 12/2/2005

fantastic deep prospective!!!!!

Dubravko Grakalic {K:25235} 12/2/2005

horror place!

m.c. lopez {K:14766} 12/1/2005

very well done, very impressive !

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 12/1/2005

HI Ruth! No this is not the same place. I guess this one are taken at Kungsträdgården, the blue line has deep tunnels. Yes, even me feels alittle vertigo of this shot of yours. Mine is taken at Medborgarplatsen on Söder. I don?t remember which exit though. You must be very brave, that even though take a shot like that!

Jeanette

Stefan Engström {K:24473} 12/1/2005

Not a place for somebody with a fear of heights. Would a single person down there be a good thing?

Carsten Ranke {K:14476} 12/1/2005

Very artistic choice of camera point and perspective, as always ;-) I like the off-center vanishing point, and the converging curves. The yellow is indeed an important stylistic element here.

Cheers

Carsten

Mark Sherman {K:15669} 12/1/2005

After seeing the movie Kontroll this has a new found meaning.

r u t h d r io {K:4339} 12/1/2005

Hey Jeannete, three years ago i travelled to Stockholm, and i was really afraid to take the subway stairs, caused by my vertigo, i took this blurry photo there, it?s funny, it could be the same place, i don?t know..:) regards!!

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 12/1/2005

I went to the police station and told them that there was a .... ha no! It was during an hour when people are in their office or at home.... but in the reflection at the roof you see people are coming up in the parallell escalator!

Jeanette

B B {K:30983} 12/1/2005

I agree with you!
This shot would not have made the same effect in B&W.
Good deep effect!

Paola LL

Sergio M. Cameno {K:7856} 12/1/2005

Happy birthday with delay!!!
A really amazing shot. You couldn't have taken it from a better angle. The sense of depth is really impressive.
Excellent indeed!!
Best regards!

Cesare Baggiani {K:1509} 12/1/2005

Janette, I dont know how comment your photo!!! I had to do copy and paste with "Great" for all your photo!!!!!
I appreciate the decision to keep the color version....the yellow lines are important.

Bye

Derek Dixon {K:4948} 12/1/2005

excellent shot! like the composition a lot.
I would always keep the colour for this -even if the yellow lines weren't there - the metallic tones are awesome.

Mark Hamilton {K:8387} 12/1/2005

The best picture of an escalator I have ever seen. How did you manage to get it without the people.

Mark

Zeev Scharf

{K:25603} 12/1/2005

Magnificent shot Jeanette,excellent perspective

Bravo my friend
Many thanks commenting "Old nice bridge"

Fabio Ficola {K:10466} 12/1/2005

Vertigo!

Seems a rollercoaster, best congrats. -Fabio-

Reda Danaf {K:14309} 12/1/2005

Great perspective well captured, agree about the yellow lines.

Mark Beltran {K:32612} 12/1/2005

Yahhhhhh! This is what I remember as a kid, looking down the escalator, and at the bottom is the toy department! Thanks for reminding me.

Mark Wlaz {K:4564} 12/1/2005

Wonderful capture in difficult conditions.
In another place and time, men would descend into small shafts, on their way to work in the bottom of mines, around the world. Today, the modern worker decsends into a different type of shaft, in order to get to work each day.
This is what I think of, in viewing your image.
Nicely done.
Mark

Great perspective and a wonderful composition. Superb work, Jeanette
I love it!!!

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 11/30/2005

Yeah - Marco, i had a doubt about what version to post, since i also have one symmetric too, maby better then this one - but i thought this is more me! ;)

Jeanette

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 11/30/2005

Mille grazie Simone!!!!!!

Jeanette

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 11/30/2005

Hahahaha - people get so scared when they see someone standing in a crazy pose to shot images, and frankly they are not sure about WHAT i?m doing.... so they just stood in a queue after me :)) Funny! LOL!!!!

Hugs,
Jeanette

Giorgio Goretti {K:15471} 11/30/2005

very good Jeanette, that's absolutely your own style ;-) but hey, you can't block the whole Stockolm subway with the excuse of photos!! LOL!!
ciao Jeanette, big hug..
Giorgio

Simone Tagliaferri {K:28180} 11/30/2005

Ottima inquadratura per una foto pulita e molto ben composta.

marco "dheim" orciuoli {K:4467} 11/30/2005

Omar Rifaat {K:10141} 11/30/2005

great feeling of depth... the little black dot at the bottom is fascinating!!!

Ina Nicolae {K:44481} 11/30/2005

Great stainless steel colors of the escalator, love the perspective, how did you keep your balance while shooting?

Kiarang Alaei {K:49415} 11/30/2005

Oh. Angle. you are awesome Jeanette...

Murat Harmanlikli {K:7846} 11/30/2005

the feeling of fall..Great one..Best regards ..

Petal Wijnen

{K:50989} 11/30/2005

Good choice (not to convert it that is) and it's almost a B&W as it is right now... ;-D!!! BTW I thought I told you that I suffer from vertigo... so I'm holding on to my seat whilst typing this comment..... aaaaaaaaaaaargh.... I had another look at it... Great perspective, excellent composition.... well spotted!!! Like those 'light lines' and their reflection in the escalator side... cool shot!!!
BTW a belated but well meant birthday greeting... a little greek bird told me... LOL!!!

Gorilla K {K:17526} 11/30/2005

hi Jeanette,
very nice perspective and great angle...excellent!!!

best regards,
Winfried

Thilo Bayer {K:50358} 11/30/2005

Hi Jeanette,

you may have desaturated the image selectively as I think it's a good idea to keep the yellow lines in here ;-)

nice perspective, the tilt is great and so are the lines that go to the horizon.

best wishes,
Thilo

Mr. M ... {K:5507} 11/30/2005

WOW - Impressive Light and perspective.

turning the image of 180 degree there's some people walkin on the floor

Giulio Rotelli {K:28441} 11/30/2005

ma dove le trovi tutte queste idee?
da un soggetto del genere hai tirato fuori una grande composizione.. mi piace veramente molto...

Jara Parijayee {K:4964} 11/30/2005

Step no farther usefilm members. I do not have Jeanette's foresight, but surely I have a little farsight. I tried to copy this image so many times but I just could not. It was not my fault. Suddenly all elevators in my city started moving....

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 11/30/2005

Thanks a lot Michael!

Jeanette

Aram Gharib {K:4656} 11/30/2005

"Deeper than this, you die!" as would say the French! Very nice perspective, reflection and plenty of parallel and orthogonal patterns. I liked very much. Thanks for sharing.

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 11/30/2005

Thanks Ismael!

Cameras - i have many different for different purpuse... But i?m a little bored of all bragging!

Jeanette

{K:5236} 11/30/2005

Wonderful angle and perspective, there are some amazing reflections going on. It has a futuristic look, I like the shadow/reflection of the person walking. Great photograph
Nigel

Piero Somma {K:13399} 11/30/2005

well done..it's almost BW!
ciao

Manu {K:13082} 11/30/2005

Good choice...keep it in color to show the metallic side of the escalator...like it

Manu

Roberto Bertone {K:13239} 11/30/2005

Ottima immagine, eccellente composizione!!!

Saluti.

Gennaro Guarino {K:12372} 11/30/2005

wow Jeanette what beautiful perspective. Great the composition with the open on the left corner. I like the light of the shot and i think that the colour is a very good choice.
Best Regards Gennaro

{K:250401} 11/30/2005

Another great creative idea Jeanette and a good decision to stay in colour for the presentation. Well done you. Best wishes....Ray

Onur Özbakan {K:16763} 11/30/2005

so cool perspective, reflections and the metallic tones..
reminded me the song "in too deep" from genesis..
:)

Hanggan Situmorang {K:37833} 11/30/2005

Very nicely seen, Jeanette. Love the angle and diagonal lines here. Excellent! I wouldn't convert it either...:)

Paolo Corradini

{K:59552} 11/30/2005

..really excellent angle..but you can convert in BW all less the yellow.
great Jeanette!
PAOLO

Roberto Carli {K:13689} 11/30/2005

Original pov,very creative congrats!!!!!
Best.

Tony Smallman

{K:23858} 11/30/2005

Great eye you have,fantastic perspective and yes ,the yellow lines do make a difference in such a cold,metallic shot.Great work and into my favourites!
Cheers,Tony

Michael Kanemoto {K:22115} 11/30/2005

No conversion necessary. What posesses you to see these shots?

If you want the yellows to pop a little more, you may have to adjust the saturation, but I like the feel of this shot just the way it is.

ISMAEL MARCOS {K:10535} 11/30/2005

yellow lines... of course...
you've done very well, i think...

isma.

by the way , which camere do you own???

Michele Berti {K:14921} 11/30/2005

the usual unconfutable style! another great one Jaenette. take care

Nelson Moore [Kes] - {K:20241} 11/30/2005

Oh be careful...people have been known to disappear into these things...never to be seen again!

The light lines, handrail lines, and diminishing reflections definitely give a sense of "deep" here!

cessy karina {K:14205} 11/30/2005

wowhoo.. great angle and composition
felt like I jump, falling
excellent decision not to convert to BW :)

Dirck DuFlon {K:35779} 11/30/2005

I think you made an excellent choice, Jeanette - the yellow lines add a wonderful dimension to this photo! It looks like these stairs go down forever! :)
