A Super Layover

Photo of the Day

Last night we were flying back from Colorado, and we had a layover in Atlanta, Georgia. We were able to catch some of the game while waiting to board our plane back to Indiana. I had this idea for a picture showing the people waiting for the flight watching the game. I liked the idea that it seemed as if everyone had their minds on the same thing while waiting to catch this plane. Most of the time everyone is doing their own thing. This is not my best picture from the trip, but I like the idea behind it.

Technical Data

The major move with this picture was to crop it a bit. I included too much of the ceiling in the shot because I did not think that panning down would have done me any good. When I looked at it in post I did’t like that ceiling either. Once I got rid of that I could then focus on the shot. I adjusted the highlights and the shadows to give it a more realistic look. This would have been an ideal shot for HDR, but my tripod was in my checked baggage. I could only attempt to handhold the shot, and the bright exposure would have been too long for me to hold. I am happy with the image that I made though.
