Sutro Tower, Moon, and Plane
Google Pixel 6 Pro 19mm f3.5 1/250s ISO33
Brief moment of calm before a 737 knocks the Moon into Sutro Tower. Almost.
In this ethereal composition titled "Sutro Tower, Moon, and Plane," we observe a juxtaposition of human engineering and celestial wonders against an expansive sky. The Sutro Tower stands prominently in the left portion of the frame, its intricate lattice structure a testament to human craftsmanship. To its right, a waning moon hangs quietly, casting a soft, luminous glow that speaks of tranquility in contrast to the rigid lines of the tower. A small plane appears almost playful, captured mid-flight as it slices through these two primary subjects, adding a dynamic element to the scene. The sky's vibrant blue serves as a serene backdrop, unifying these disparate elements into a harmonious whole.
The photograph employs a balanced composition, with the Sutro Tower anchoring the left side, providing a structural counterpoint to the more ephemeral moon. The rule of thirds is subtly at play here, with the tower and moon occupying strong compositional positions, drawing the viewer’s eye naturally across the image. The plane, although smaller, punctuates the scene, adding a sense of movement and scale. The use of color is particularly striking - the bright blue sky provides high contrast with the dark, textured tower, and highlights the crisp white of the plane. However, the image could benefit from slight adjustments in contrast to further distinguish the moon from the rich azure of the sky. Overall, the photograph succeeds in creating a compelling narrative about the intersection of the terrestrial and the celestial, though it might press further into this intersection through more dramatic lighting or angles.
