Applemania

Every once in a while you do one of these ensemble shots that seems as if it was put together by an art director. This one certainly fits into that category. Even though I use a PC the picture catches the Apple "religious" experience perfectly. It would be interesting to pair it with the interior of a Windows store. I'm sure the difference in level of activity would be stark.

Michael,

I like the title!

The photo is very interesting -modern look of Apple store, crowd, ceiling lights, etc..

It's very well captured. What's modern, captivating these days might by ancient -let's say in 2030 or even earlier,,,

just like Kraftwerk (electronic band) - still has audience and there is nothing wrong with it!

Great work!,

ZT,

Hi Michael, Yes indeed. Great title and prefect picture to support it. Amazingly they all look like they are under the spell!

Andrew, your take one the image is spot on. Every time I enter this place, I feel like my consciousness has been altered. Thanks!

ZT, many thanks. I've been a fan of Kraftwerk for quite some time. (Try the band Osric tentacles for a different take on electronica.) - - mhl

Ah, Jack! So glad to hear from you. Your remarks might make my head swell if not for the fact that I know that they are genuine. Love your suggestion about a Windows store location; I just have to find one.

First I looked for me in there. You caught this scene very well. The chance distribution of the patrons balances the shot very well. Hard to look away!! Well done!

The others have summed it up perfectly. A well conceived and presented idea that captures the mood perfectly. Religion seems to be a good word for it, Jack was spot on with that comment....................BR, Holger

Thanks, Holger and Warren, very much. I appreciate your comments.

The idea of showing the movement of an Apple Store, with customers interacting with vendors (green) is very good. I agree with the title Applemania because the IPhone is one of the icons of contemporary technology. As for photographic composition, my opinion is that the person back to the photographer, in the foreground, is acting as a distraction element. On the other hand, the sense of perspective is very well highlighted, showing the use of the guidelines in the ceiling. Although I prefer, in this case, the option in bw, but the color version highlights the sharpness of this picture. My surprise: the photo was made with a cell phone! If the cell phone is not an IPhone, so the photographer is very good. Very well done. Congratulations. Roldao
