Telegraph Pole Sunset by phil_howcroft

Telegraph Pole Sunset

This is a a rushed shot with ruby on her lead and camera in hand.

We had a decent sunset tonight so I ran around the corner onto Coppice Road to get the orange sky.

I took about 18 pics in 5 minutes before the colours faded away.

I don't know if there is enough interest in the scene, but hey Ruby appreciated the impromptu dash around the corner...oh Ruby and I were 'pipped and shouted at' (nicely of course) as my daughters drove past me laughing at their dad doing his geeky photography bit...pointing his camera skywards !!
Ever feel you're surrounded by too many women?!

LOL! I like your daughters! It's an excellent shot! Lots of warm orange tones, lines from the wires and texture from the tree! Well done in such a short period of time!

@marlboromaam thanks Maggie :) my verticals were not vertical so I had to straighten them a bit...although I think it was converging verticals caused by pointing the camera upwards :)....They were shouting at Ruby too , which confused her too :)

Of course the sunset is stunning, but I'm especially struck by the way the phones lines converge. It really adds to the interest in this shot.

It's amazing what you can see when you look up! Great colour, and I love the framing of the telegraph pole and wires.
