After being approved, I have signed off my final project "Cityscape". This will be a collection of 10 photos of cityscape. Here is one of my shots in Hong Kong, which reminds me what is cityscape photography is. This is the style that I might add into my final project.   Here is the link for my Project Sign Off . The next post will be my project plan.

 Thomas was born and being raised in Hong Kong, and spent most of his life in the small city. He was a bus enthusiast and he gradually interested into transportation. The first time Thomas used a camera was 2013, when he tried to take photos for his little brother. Thomas started his aviation photography in 2018, and over the years, he had been to 10 airports for plane-spotting and have spotted over 1500 different aircrafts. He believes that the brain behind the viewfinder is more important than the equipment. Thomas enjoys his aviation photography so much that he is now studying photography so that he can improve his skills. He will continue his path to become a professional photographer. I added the picture of myself and the introduction text, and change the color of the background into grey. And finally, making amendments to fit the mobile page, which I adjusted the size of my name and my picture.

 This post will going to review to process of me creating the content page and the social links for the project. Step one, I changed the font of all the texts into Marcellus, including the page title "Contact" and the form. Step two, I turned on the notification for receiving emails from the webpage.   Step four, I have added a photo for the page and removed the original texts for the email. Step five, I have added some social links at the bottom of the page, including Jetphotos, Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and Blogpost. Last but not least, I have updated the social link for the top right hand corner, which provides the common social media that I have been using.
