The Dots in the Sky are Flying

Plane in a Cloudy Sky

You may recognize this photo from yesterday’s post. No? It’s the one with the plane in it.

What? You don’t see the plane? Okay, let me point it out for you.
Circled Plane in a Cloudy Sky

Do you see it now? It’s the little dot (er, dash) in the middle of the circle.

Thus, you can see the “magic” of cropping (and enlarging). Without the cropping (or enlargement), it’s easy to overlook the plane in the sky.

Also, with cropping and/or enlarging, you can get multiple uses out of a single photograph.

Crop it from another corner, and there’s a storm brewin’…

Storm Brewing

Crop it from the opposite corner, and it’s a reasonably pleasant day.

Cloudy Day

Crop it in a different way and you have something suitable for something like a blog header.

Cloudy Header

You know, kind of like this:

New Blog Header

So, there you have it! With the magic of cropping, enlargement and special effects (as mentioned in yesterday’s post) you can get multiple uses out of a single photograph.

You do have to be careful. Like shuffleboard, Photoshop is not for the weak and cowardly! ;-)
