flying above the city Photo

Photographer’s Note

Instructors and PROs of Delta plane flights say it's pretty easy and within less than 10 days one should be able to take-off by his own. Well, I do my best to believe them, but this thing is no video-game neither, if you know what I mean...

It's a weird feeling that I have to trust an instructor and give my life into his skillful expertise, as if I could blame one's chanceless mistake. I feel deep the urge to do the course and take hte "wheel", but I keep postponing that big day. Maybe one day, I might post pictures taken by me while flying on my own...

Nice shot Bruno! I really like aerial shots, they give that sort of "soaring with the eagles" feeling... This one is no exception! There are a couple of things I'd change here though - firstly there's a strong Cyan cast, and secondly I think there's a little more detail that you could bring out with a little sharpening if you wanted to. Well captured, and I hope you landed safely :-)

I've posted a Workshop for you to illustrate my suggestions!

Parece que você é um fã da asa delta. Gosta você de voar assim? Acho que seria um deporte emocionante, e se pode ser combinado com a fotografia, ainda melhor.
A composição é boa. A asa, diante dos edificios altos mas longes, da uma idéia de estar muito alto no ar. As cores do mar estão muito lindas, mas como diz AdrianW, são muito fortes em toda a imagem.
Bom trabalho.

Very nice. The feeling of being lighter than air and just gently gliding down is really felt in this. The water is a beautiful color that really adds to the lightness of the image. The grouping of buildings makes a nice grouping as a backdrop to the glider. It blends into the greenery of the setting to add even further to the lightness. Very nicely done.
