An Ocean of Clouds
Wake up at 4:00am. Arrive at the airport around 5:00am. Flight at 6:50am. Ready to shoot photos at 6:55am. As I desperately wait in my seat for take off, I snap off a few practice shots and adjust my white balance. Once our plane takes off and begins penetrating the clouds, I frantically look around attempting to determine the exact position of the sun and which side of the plane beams of sunlight will begin pouring in from. Aha! Spotted the sun right infront of me! I ready my camera and snap off one of my best sunset shots on the first try. Content with my first shot, I simply sit back, relax, and enjoy my flight over an ocean of clouds.

BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteJustin, just came by and you have a very nice blog. The image above is particularly compelling because of that vibrancy of color. The color palette, and the shapes makes it almost abstract (although it is not). In fact, I love the shapes (couds, range at the end, the color, the value, and the texture that the purple surface evinces. The interesting surface really helps me dive in. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThanks Nacho! You have some excellent street photos yourself! I especially love the photo of the asian lady carrying two baskets on her shoulders. The expression on her face tells us a story of a work ridden life that has seen very little relaxation. Great shot!
