The cold weather thread I moved to Yang because of Roark, but I'm glad you were able to find the pic on the Downtown Miami Pictures thread. Here is another one from last February that I never posted because of the blur, but look at the placement of the buildings in the skyline from Blue on the Bay to the Santa Maria with the placement of Quantum, Opera Tower, the Marquis, 900 Biscayne, and Everglades on the Bay adding density to the skyline. I could not have placed them any better.

This one I cropped to make the big three bigger. With the D5000, not only am I able to crop things closer and still get great resolution, but I will also be able to make bigger enlargements. Unfortunately, it is still at the Nikon factory.

Another aerial from last February I never posted. I forgot some people would have liked to have seen the progress of this from the air.

This is another shot that I never posted simply because the original was too crooked, but after figuring out how to straighten it on Flickr, what a gem of a find this turned out to be. Over on SSP, I added two other sections - Omni/Edgewater Arts District/Midtown Miami and Brickell Village, which I just finished. It's funny how when I first joined SSC, I knew nothing about any of this stuff. Now I can go up in a plane, capture a shot like this and then photoshop it and straighten it out to make it look nice.

This one didn't need straightening.

This one I have posted before, but it certainly didn't look like this!

You are welcome, and thank YOU! The D5000 is still at the factory. I hope I can get it back before football season is over so I can get pictures from the top of the stadium while I'm at one of the games.
