End of the Line


I was on the way home after my last assignment today, and realized that I hadn't seen anything worth shooting for the blog. I thought I would use an older photograph, and then I caught a glimplse of the sky. It was pretty spectacular with the grey overcast with breaks near the horizon, as seen through the clear cold air. The closer I got to home the better it got as the light continued to fade. I was shooting through the windshield with my Canon SD800, and when I came to these red lights with the power poles on either side, I realized I had something. I'm not sure what, of course, but the "something" I feel that I feel when I have seen a complete photograph, and not just a fragment of a photograph.

  3. When the light changed from red to green I shot one picture, before driving away. The green looks the same color as the sky, and you hardly notice the lights at all.

  4. Thanks for the explanation - the red fits in better with the overall dark menacing sky - I look at it and keep waiting for the bolt of lightning. A wonderful shot.
