Support Eero Saarinen designed the wing-shaped Neo-futurist/Googie-style TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport in New York City in 1962. It closed in 2001 and recently reopened as a hotel. This is the big open lounge area that one enters when coming from the still-operative Terminal 5 next door. — Rhododendrites talk | 04:17, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Comment I love it. Now, before I support it, can you please check the note I put into the image? Seems like there is a small stitching problem, should be easy to fix. Out of curiosity: did you manage to handhold 0.1s exposition? --Podzemnik (talk) 04:28, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Podzemnik: Thanks! Fixed. Yes, it was hand-held. My tripod was packed away (and although there aren't a lot of people in the frame, it was crowded enough that they probably wouldn't have appreciated it). :) — Rhododendrites talk | 05:01, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Rhododendrites: Thanks for fixing it. It could have been better but OK to me. I love the photo heaps! --Podzemnik (talk) 08:06, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Neutral These types of images with people doing everyday things are some of my favorites, it is seen that there is life there, a stressed woman drinking at the bar, someone preparing a presentation for the next day, people arriving from a plane, everything seems very moved, however, there is an joining problem in the ceiling, in the upper right, however, the big problem here IMHO is the people in motion blur. This can be corrected if you have another version of the same framing and using another layer in photoshop and you could remove these ghost people, this is sometimes done automatically by photoshop, the lighting is a bit tetric and reminds me of one of my many nights in an airport --Wilfredor (talk) 04:30, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Wilfredor: Thanks. I fixed the stitching error, but unfortunately there's no way for me to fix the people. I don't have another version from this angle. :/ — Rhododendrites talk | 05:01, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Comment I simply love this Jetson-styled photo, and it's unfortunate with the blurred people in the image. Would you accept this version where I have "de-warped" some of the people to make the image easier on the eye? Yours to upload if you want it. --Cart (talk) 11:35, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- @W.carter: Thanks for that. Curious how you did that, actually. The likeness waiter in your image seems hard to find in the ghost, but looking at another image I have, your picture is a little closer to how he looks than the way I remembered. :) Given there are quite a few ghosts here (some of which I might be able to clone out, like those in front of the window; some which would be harder without some kind of unholy photoshop magic :) ), I'm frankly inclined to wait and see how this goes before trying to handle them, and then, if necessary, use yours as a starting point to start Ghostbusting. I feel like given the conditions it's hard to expect only crisp humans (literally and figuratively, at an airport bar), and that it's potentially featurable with them... we'll see. — Rhododendrites talk | 14:39, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- I only worked with this image, no other image is involved. It's a mix of techniques. Some is just basic cloning and using the patching tool, but the magic bullet is the filter 'Liquify' to undo some of the motion. Mix using that with the 'Transform>Distort' tool. You have to go back and forth a few times, work in layers, blend with some 'Smear' and know a bit about painting, but in the end it will get the image where you want it. You know, the hardest part about trying to tell you how I do things in PS and LR, is actually to find the names of the controls and tools in English since my subscription is set to Sweden/Swedish. Hope I got it right. --Cart (talk) 15:52, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
