I photographed this close aerial view in 2011, filling the frame with water as pale, warm highlights spread across its darker surface. The scene has no single object to anchor the eye; instead, the changing bands of brightness create a route through the image. I like how a familiar subject can become so visually spare when seen from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brightest areas gather towards the left, breaking into fine points over the textured water. Farther right, the tones become cooler and more subdued, allowing the individual ripples to appear as a quieter pattern. Broad curves of reflected light sit over those smaller marks, giving the photograph two scales to explore at once. From a distance, the image reads as a gentle arrangement of light and dark; closer up, the ocean’s surface reveals a much finer rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat balance is what continues to interest me. The water remains recognisable, yet the composition also works as an abstract study of natural texture. Its restrained grey-blue and pale gold tones suit a calm living room, bedroom or study, especially where strong colour would be distracting. For someone drawn to aerial photography or subtle ocean wall art, it offers a view that rewards patient looking, with the surface itself providing all the detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2011\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571275599951,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592220803151,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40606724358223,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67592841461839,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40606751719503,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67593721380943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40483621437519,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594483957839,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40483621470287,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595450417231,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40606768660559,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600558325839,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185671512143,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67596050497615,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185739178063,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805468459087,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804766044239,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804831744079,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747609477199,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Pacific-Ocean-Shimmering-Surface-Aerial-Abstract-Nature-Photography-1.jpg?v=1792104755","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/pacific-ocean-from-an-airplane-background","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
