Nothing hugely special about this shot but can you let me know if you have any comments on composition. I'm aiming to make something simple special simply because of the composition (it's hard).

No, PP here (polariser used) other than cropping.

Thanks

Nice blue sky there ajo43

Mic.

Ajo43,

If I could suggest someting....sometimes I do shot lightpoles. As you noticed they are not easy beasts to handle. And they are boring, usually are. So to get over you need to search for shapes and methapors in them. Try to experiment. Try new perspectives, new compositions. Try to visualise what you see through viewfinder. Try to give them new meaning.

Hope those two examples of my shots will help you.

1. This one was taken some time ago. I was going around this pole searchig for new perspective for quite few minutes. This one worked the best for me. I quess I had to looke quite crazy for passing people, but who cares




2. This one I took today. Just passing I have noticed that. Quick thinking, even quicker setup and that is the effect:



To say more. I have a lightpole there. I know what potencial it has. And I know how will look photo of it when I will go there with my tripod. Soon, I will go there and will catch next lightpole.

Try to look up and see.

Regards,

K.Polak

Dear K Polak

Thank you very much for taking the time to post such a detailed reply with examples as well. I do like your second shot the best. The repetition of the curly bits I think gives it a bit extra and it looks like you were up on the same level as the wires.

Thanks

AJ
