Fun and Imaginative Photos of a Toy Plane Soaring in the Sky
让欢乐和创意乘着“玩具飞机”翱翔云游

Macau-based web designer and developer Varun Thota (@vnthota) has an Instagram feed full of photos depicting dynamic metropolitan life, but his series My Toy Plane (#mytoyplane) takes his creative vision to new heights.
IT程序员Varun Thota(@vnthota) 于一家澳门网站工作，他在Instagram发布了很多饱含创意的照片，其中名为“手中的玩具飞机”mytoyplane 的主题相册展现了他创意视角的新高度。

The imaginative photos show a hand guiding a toy airplane overhead in various locations.
这些照片里都是一只拿着玩具飞机的手，以不同的真实地点为背景。

If it weren't for the hand, the images would be quite convincing as shots of a real plane soaring in the sky, flying over tall buildings, or preparing to land on a runway.
如果画面里没有人们的手臂，那就像是在拍摄呼啸而过的飞机，它真实地飞过高楼大厦，或是将要准备着陆。

What makes Thota's photos even more fun to look at are the glimpses of urban life in Macau, Hong Kong, and other bustling cities in Asia.
是什么让Thota的照片看着特别有趣，原因大概是画面里的地标性建筑皆是澳门、香港或其他城市繁华景象的缩影，这让更多人对亚洲惊鸿一瞥。

His toy plane weaves in between tall skyscrapers, over lively streets, and above vibrant downtown bays, taking the viewer on a mini-voyage of their own.
他的玩具飞机出现在摩天大楼之间，越过热闹的街道，翱翔在充满活力的市中心港湾之上，这让观众像是真实坐在飞机上远航。

Looking at the creative shots, you can almost imagine yourself sitting in the plane itself, gazing down at the beautiful sights below.
纵观这些创意无限的照片，你可以想像自己正坐在飞机上，俯视着下面美丽的风景。

Drawing inspiration from the hashtag #putaplaneonit.
Thota的灵感来源于社交网站上的热门标签# putaplaneonit 。

Thota decided to start this series after his father found a toy plane inside a chocolate Kinder egg.
之前Thota的父亲也曾在巧克力金德蛋内发现过一个玩具飞机，就这样，Thota决定了开始拍摄这个图集。

Through the photos, he not only gets to explore his interest in aviation, but also to build relationships with the people around him.
通过拍摄这些照片，他不仅能在他感兴趣的航空领域内畅想，同时也建立了自己的社交网络。

He says, “The thing I enjoy most about the series is how fun it is to include other people in it.
他说，“拍摄这系列照片期间，我感觉最有趣的事情是跟别人互动。

It’s always fun to show people the plane, tell them the story and then ask them for a helping hand in taking the shot.”
因为向其他人展示我的玩具飞机，然后告诉他们我的故事，再请他们拿着飞机，好让我去拍摄，这本身就是一件特别有意思的事情。
