I went with the image I took late last year of Palm Beach International Airport when I was returning from west palm beach. The original photo was taken from my plane seat and just trying to capture my return home to Florida and taking the image of the sunset and the sky with the beautiful clouds about their airport. the airport. There was no way for me to avoid catching the plane’s wing in the image, but it really doesn’t cover much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cropped version is really focused on the control tower. Unintentionally finding that it almost perfectly meets the bottom of the clouds with my angle, I zoomed in and narrowed the field of view from my phone’s camera to emphasize the sky about the tower and remove the airplane\u2019s wing from the image.\u00a0 I set the control tower to be at the bottom left intersection of the rule of thirds to really emphasize the sky. I set it to a more panoramic scale to really show the clouds and the deep red and oranges of the sunset. Making it so that the sun lit sky was the border between the ground and the clouds, that was then bridged by the air traffic control tower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal with this edit is to make the air traffic control tower of the airport be a literal bridge to the sky in the image, while it is a metaphorical bridge to the sky, with the controllers in the tower guiding planes into the air. The main thing I wish I could change is having a better resolution and not having it so pixelated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
