I really do like this kind of photography – buildings and power lines make great subjects. Love the flag and the streetlights. A good moody photograph – excellent use of light.
Thank you, Ron. It was actually a much brighter day than it looks, just a little early in the morning, before the streetlights shut off.
Editing can do a lot to change the tone of an image.
Thanks–I think the title came from my frustration with trying to clone out that little branch creeping into the left side of the frame.
I have been thinking much about my concept of composition lately and deciding more and more to err on the side of “this is what I saw. this is the real image.” So I stopped trying so hard to “perfect” the image. It’s what the camera, my eye and the world gave me.
Nice! I’m not accustomed to that style telephone pole. Interesting to read the comment above about the title…there are always questions, aren’t there? What to leave out, what to “improve” etc.
I am trying to tinker in post less, to trust my eye more in the process, even if the result is not “traditional”.
And I am all about the questions. I feel that good poems and good photographs ask more questions than they answer, or perhaps it’s better to say they engender more questions….and not I question myself…..yes, always questions….
Questions keep us alive, don’t they? There’s a book you might like – you might not but it may be worth looking at – Blind Spot by Teju Cole. Photographs and brief thoughts facing them.
