This is a forced perspective photo that I took at the park near San Francisco International Airport. There’s a park nearby the airport where you could watch planes take off (see image below). My brother and I used the long camera lens to shoot some planes, and it was really cool to see them in detail. In this photo, I placed my hand in front of the plane to make it look like I was grabbing it, showing how the large plane is tiny when far away and how my hand is huge when close to the camera.
