Horizon One
Beauty in The Ordinary
Complex human designs provide stark contrast against the infinite cosmos of space beyond.
Growing up in the suburbs, this contrast often met my eye as a child, giving me the sense that life was big, bold, and high above us. The moon adds a comforting pressence here, secure in its blanket of indigo. Manmade structures may seem towering and alien, but the sky and your imagination are infinite.
Powerlines add an interesting foreground design that balance the shot into sections. Ironically, despite the grandiose image and title, this one was captured at a well populated gas station!
A few lighting adjustments enhanced the deepness of the sky around the moon, making the piece feel much grander and the night feel much deeper.
