Being able to see the world from above is something that has always amazed me. While flying above the northeastern United States, I was mesmerized by the grid and layout of the cities formed by the shining lights. I used the rule of thirds and what I learned with layouts in these images. My goal was to distribute the city lights in a way that would display the vastness of the grid, yet still feel small due to the sky above. I believe I was able to portray these feelings through the highlighted presence of the sky overlooking the city. In both photos below the sky is follows a uniform color or gradient which contrasts with the sprawling city below.
