Circle & Sky

I had just pulled over to make a few phone calls. I knew I was near an airport having seen the tower a few minutes earlier but wasn't overly concerned with it. I was more intrigued by the McDonald's and Burger King sitting on adjacent commercial lots and the guy holding a sign doing roadside advertising. Just as I hung up and started moving I saw the plane coming in for landing. I calculated that if I framed things just right I could get the Burger King logo in the corner. Two frames later I had it. This is the second.

Now to be fair, I cropped it a touch and that's not my normal M.O. but with a twenty four megapixel Nikon and a helmet on my head, it's going to happen. If I'm rushing and can't get the camera flush to my eye because of the face mask I widen out a bit with the understanding that I'll crop later. This image is a case in point. You have to work with what you've got.

Make pictures, crop 'em if you got 'em.

Just plain brilliant...makes one wish there were not such a thing as PhotoShop so that there would be no doubt as to its authenticity. Keep it up; LOVE what you're doing.
