M.A.C...................Solo Flight..!

WHILE I WAS SHOOTING SUPERB ARCHITETURAL BUILDING OF "MAC" (MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART), IN MY HOMETOWN NITEROI, SOME GUYS WERE PLAYNG WITH REMOTE CONTROL AIRPLANES BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY A SMALL RED AIRCRAFT CROSSED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES...

    The museum building's very photographed, thus I had to be creative.

    It looks like a scene from a science fiction movie, the red plane and the flying saucer. Very good capture!

    yes I've been inside there sometimes. The view from inside out is crazy indeed!

    Good, Ioan (laughs), good sense of humor.
    Look, this museum was projected by world famous Oscar Niemeyer and, at night, with light spots from the base up thru a thin water surface it really looks like a big UFO. M.A.C. is the most photographed building in my hometown, therefore I had to be creative!

    For a moment I tought the plane had lost the battle against the white UFO :-)
    Kind regards Sergio. Nice setting!

    Dear Peter,
    The "underexposure" you mention is intentional to add "drama" to the pic. I don't like "washed" shots. That's why I use my Finepix S9000Z in "chrome" mode!
    The contrast between blue sky, green grass, M.A.C. building & airplane is delightful so far..!

    very nice shot but it's a little bit too dark;-)
    cheers
