Power lines

More Power

Transmission towers, power stations, and complex electric poles will forever interest me. I’m particularly fond of orange and white transmission towers against a blue sky. But, in general I appreciate these structures, especially those of the truss style construction. In the below image, the patterns of glass insulator stacks shining in the sunlight caught my attention.

Foggy morning

I’ve made a lot of power line images. I just really like the way these towers are constructed and how proud they seem no matter where I see them. This morning’s fog put a whole different mood over my typical scene.

Straight up

I really enjoy making images using this perspective. …Straight up y’all.

Low angle and extreme low angle photography, using super wide angle lenses, is one of my favorite styles of shooting. Low angle shots always add a bit of majesty to the subject. They can even add a heroic feel to the image. I’m really happy with this image. I love the perspective, the industrial feel, the leading lines that take your eye right to the top of the tower, and the use of negative space.
