Fluidr / The thin line between day and night by Marc Rauw.

Revisiting old photos with new tools, part 2.

A sharp dividing line between light and darkness: nightfall over Europe, seen from a Boeing 737 cockpit.

The photo was made using an iPhone 6s, and even though it remains just a phone picture taken under challenging light conditions, I still got a nice result with some help of Lightroom and Topaz filters.

See where this photo was taken. Plus 37000 ft. ;-)
