Even so, finding the right shot can be hard. I wanted the simple lines and symmetry in the wires. Sun should be up but not right overhead. You need some pigeons in there, right? Well I was out shooting radio towers and I just saw this out of the corner of my eye. Want more? Hit the jump for the rest of the post.
As much as I like this shot in color, the fact that it only had about three colors in it and that what drew me to it most was the geometric aspects, I figured I’d try black and white. That seemed a little drab so I duotoned it a sort of warm sepia color. Photoshop makes this really easy and I think I like the results even better. What do you think of this one?

Your photo of the birds on the wire would be a wonderful compliment to a cd cover that I am doing for a friend. The album will have local distribution and be given away. May I have permission to use your photo for the back cover where the song list will be posted?
Hey PJill,
I’d be happy to let you use it. Could I get some images of the cover when you’ve got it together? I’d like to add it to my portfolio.
