Nicely seen, and well-executed. I like the precise, balanced framing. Well-done!!! I really always have enjoyed these types of formal balance compositions.

Love the symmetry and the color. I might remove what looks like a cloud in the lower left corner.

Are you going to start shooting power lines next? If so, there are some people on here who might want to know.

Very well composed and exposed. I love it.

Glad you like it Derrel! The way I originally shot this didn't lend itself to symmetry. I had to spend some time getting the crop right.

Very well composed and exposed. I love it.

Good

Thanks both of you!

Heavens no. I'd never dream of such a silly thing! Who should be notified, if I maybe did start shooting them just a tiny bit???

:mrgreen: I KNEW I heard "power lines!" good job getting him to post those yummy shots!

Love the OP ! That colour is delicious, the lines ... mmmm
The hydro lines... oh my...

Why do you like power line so much? Just curious.

Hey Kathy Wow, asking the tough questions! lol

Hmmm, short answer, I'm a little off my nut (ask around, they will tell ya lol)
Long answer, I'm not exactly sure? I think it is a combination of a lot of things. The structure of them, the lines, the way they march across the landscape away from the nuclear plant here at home, the juxtaposition between these huge steel structures against the farmland, the old wood of the old lines, the glass, the textures, the webs in the sky that they create....
Yeah, I'm a little off my nut

They are often symmetrical, uniform, and can be used as strong lines which make them ideal subjects for photography.

I love your descriptive phrases....march across the landscape....webs in the sky....! I can totally see your fasination with them. The reason I asked that was because my dad is a mechanical engineer and he has traveled all over the world throughout his career designing these power plants. He too, has a love for this type of work. He has got some amazing prints from over the years that he has hanging in his office. Last year I had a metal print made for him through Prodpi lab that was just stunning. I wanted to keep it. So no, you are not off your nut. Well wait...maybe you and my dad are just both off of your nuts!

Now that you mention it I have had a family connection to power plants forever. Most of my male family members have worked or do work in a plant and Mr. Rabbit is a millwright at the Bruce Nuclear Plant (officially the worlds largest plant).

I think that there is something to be said about "finding beauty in the world we see around us every day", we take a whole lot of it for granted. I've lived close to these plants all of my life so they have dominated a big part of the landscape, your Dad was at the originating point of the lines, I think it is very cool that he sees the beauty in his every day life
I would love to see that print if you ever get a chance to take a shot of it to share
