This
picture, which was featured on National Geographic's photo of the day,
represents a beauty we don't see often in the world as humans. Photographed by
Francois Nadeau, this photo uses perspective and creativity to create a
magnificent view of Turkish air. Starting with the height, the photo was
definitely taken at an angle above ground. Using this technique was actually
effective because it created a panoramic view instead of just a close up. This
allows the viewers to take in the overall Turkish land. Having a close up would
result in a smaller view of landscape, which wouldn't cause as much as a
"wow" effect from the audience. Evoking pathos is a great part
in creating a beautiful picture. The photo needs to create an emotion in order
to be seen as artistic, and perspective helps to create that feeling. Along
with this, Nadeau uses creativity as a strategy to get the best picture of
Turkish landscaping. By finding a location that is a bit brighter color wise, Nadeau
had the advantage of effectively capturing Turkey. Also, notice the difference in objects. There are houses, hills, roads, and all vary in size. This variety adds to the creativity because it allows the photo to speak for itself: it adds to the unspeakable beauty Turkey has. This was the reaction Nadeau was hoping to get from using such a unique location. He stated that “you cannot go to Cappadocia without taking a trip in a hot-air balloon and making some pictures—it's a must! Most of the photographers were taking shots of the sunrise, the landscape, etc. But I was also attracted to what was under me—the patterns, the little villages. So while I was taking pictures of other balloons and the sunrise and filming at the same time, I was keeping an eye under me for the best shot." Using perspective and creativity, Nadeau was able to capture something so beautiful and breathtaking.
