Electricity/CDP Theme Day/Sky Watch

 Electricity at Sunset #1

Today is March 1 and City Daily Theme Day. This month's theme is ELECTRICITY.

Usually I try to avoid wires in my photos but sometimes they actually add something positive to a photo.

  1. I too do not like having wires in photos but here you really made them work for you. I guess the secret is to make them the main subject of the photo. Well done.

  2. Hmmm... The sky does it all! We had a great big red ball of fire yesterday evening but... no electrical lines in the sky!

    (I'm not sure it is resolved but when I tried to click on your blog via the portal yesterday, I had an error message).

  7. I think the lines add something to your shots. The silhouettes make the fantastic colors of the sky stand out even more.
    Happy March!!

  8. Oh, these are lovely...and I think wires are just part of life and kind of like a lot of them...though there are certain times when I really wish they weren't where there.

  15. Nice designs. Electricity should have some red in it.

  16. These are gorgeous. Not only the sunsets and the light, but your framing of the lines and poles, very industrialist meets romantic.

  17. I think the lines are interesting, like the first (closer) photo the best.

  40. I usually don't like power lines in sky photos, but your composition, especially in the first and third photos, cause them to add to the beauty of the sky.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Love your wires. You are right they add to the photo.

    I live in an urban area it is hard to take a pic without wires so I don't worry about them too much any more.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Marvelous, EG. The first and third work best for me. And, yes, you do need the wires in these images.

    ReplyDelete
  43. The sky is electrified by the colors!

    ReplyDelete
  44. These wires make a great pattern as a way of
    capturing the glow of your sky -

  45. I was in total agreement with you about wires in sky shots. I avoid them all the time... until a brilliant landscape photographer I knw posted an amazing shot utilising the electricity wires perfectlt. I have since changed my opinion but I am yet to capture a shot like that worthy of posting.

    Beautiful shots making great use of the wires!

    ReplyDelete
  46. What beauties! The lines add contrast against the vivid colors blazing across the sky.

    ReplyDelete
