Some people shoot telephone poles and wires as subjects; some people avoid them at all costs. I be one of the first group. I know not why

Nice shots but I think they get in the way of the subject most of the time. I try to avoid them..

How about shooting the setting sun gleaming on the wires. I always find that fascinating !

Beautiful Linda. You do things with locations and subjects I would walk by without ever noticing. I am guessing you processed them in Silver Efex. Can you add any info on workflow? Being a birder I really like the first one. On the far left poll is a Starling, on the second poll are a number of Rock Pigeons, sitting on the wire is a House Sparrow.
Back when I started on UHH we used to give thumbs up ratings.

Black and white suits the subject and enhances the image I reckon Linda. You’re certainly the master of telephone wires! I would miss the shot due to trying to get the wires do a diagonal thing from one corner of the image. You’ve seen a composition I’d probably miss. TOL would see it your way without doubt - perhaps it’s a lady thing?

Thanks for your comments, tradio. If they are "in the way" of a subject, I probably wouldn't take the photo unless I could incorporate them as part of the composition Nice shots but I think they get in the way of the subject most of the time. I try to avoid them..

LOL. Ah, but where do those lines lead, Mike? Well, Linda, they do have leading lines.

Thanks so much, Jack. I'll put together the processing info for you later this morning. Beautiful Linda. You do things with locations and ... (show quote)
I believe the "pigeons" are Eurasian collared doves. They have invaded this valley in the past 5+ years, and I saw them everywhere on that morning's shoot.

Off the top of my head, I know that MinnieV hates poles and wires and would never consider photographing as subject, let alone create diagonals or other geometric shapes.Thanks very much for your interest and the smile!
