Spirit of Saint Louisby
insipidangelComment by insipidangel: I do appreciate that Moondoggie-- and for everyone else, I'm going to take a minute to explain.
1. The spirit of st.louis probably didn't have a radio in it.. don't pay so much attention to the title.. it's simply a radio, and it is the Name of the radio. It's embossed on it.. thats what the design was based on.
2. No, I wasn't in the cockpit of the airplane.
3. This shot DID meet the criteria of the "ground up" challenge.. This radio was on a shelf, above my head, I layed on the floor below it (the ground), and took the picture from under the radio, hence the dramatic upwards angle. It honestly seemed to me like if it wasn't a picture with some sky in it, people didn't think it was "from the ground up."
4. I know it was over exposed and over sharpened with a really high contrast. I personally liked that.. the origional image was rather dull, and it added some interest into it.
5. Symmetry is highly over-rated.
