3 Museum Harbor and Miami downtown

[Erk1024]

I thought this harbor made a nice "leading line" into the Miami skyline. The problem is that anything but a perspective stitch would make the nice straight lines of the bulkhead next to the harbor into curves that didn't look good. But Lightroom and Photoshop balked at doing the stitch. Fortunately ptGui was able to do it. Anyway here is is.

Zoom in. The image is 5120 pixels wide.

Very nice shot!

Colorful. Sadly I remember a time when most of that was wild. Guess it’s still wild but in a different way.

I like the composition, and the balance of ambient and city light. Well done again!

Gorgeous photo. It looks like you have it loaded on Google Photos. Check me on this, but I am pretty sure in that lengthy legalize you have to agree to, Google now owns the rights to that photo.

Not sure. It's in a Google Drive, not Google Photos AFAIK. But I actually don't care. I'm happy to let people use my photos for whatever enjoyment they get out of them.

@waynorth @GFields @PHZ Thanks! Glad you like them. I'm pumped it's possible to get good image quality photos out of a "flying camera". So cool and useful.

This is misinformation and untrue.

Miami / Florida is kind of an unlikely place for people to live. And there are lot of places in the state that are still wild. I want to do some more exploring in the (non-national park) Everglades.

You aced that shot. Have to pinch myself that drones are that capable of taking pictures of that quality remotely. Having a good eye like yours definitely helps. The drone is just a tool

Thanks! And I 100% agree about the drone just being a tool in the toolbox. Super useful, especially because Florida is so darn flat--hard to get good vantage points. It's amazing that we can get M4/3'rds sensors in a consumer(ish) drone.

It is, absolutely amazed at what my new Air3s does. So many compositional options.

My wife and I are looking at coming to Orlando and Palm Beach next year for vacation

Please check the terms on Google Photos. I think they may be different.

It appears that my information was incorrect and I apologize for the misinformation.
Everything I googled (oops), says that the person who uploaded the photos retains ownership.
