Telephone Pole & Jet

We happened to be down in Richmond, late afternoon today. I had my trusty Sony NEX-5n with me as usual and I took a photo of this particular telephone pole (the one with the 3 transformers)

The Rainbow kept getting in my way . I turned around to capture a photo of a jet taking off from YVR: Vancouver International Airport.

It is that small speck just left of centre. You may have to squint a bit . . .

    Very nice power pole though you could've centered it in the shot a bit more. And the shot of the jet would've came out a lot better if the annoying sun wasn't there.

    Better luck next time ;-)

    Beautiful shots...

      Richard:

      exactly, the sun was in the way and I should have centred the telephone pole

    Pretty skies make for great pictures. And Bobskoot takes great pictures. A perfect match.

      you are too kind with your words. They were just grab shots at the end of the light

      I used to like math. I had several slide rules and my trusty Log book (logorithmic) by my side. I still have an abacus somewhere hidden away

      I still have my abacus next to my desk in my office! Still get to use it occasionally...

    I'm loving that sunset pic! Nice, catching the jet there.
    ...being mathematically challenged, I can use neither an abacus nor a slide rule. I'm fair to middlin' with a calculator ;)

      It was a lazy day for us, did nothing, went out late even though it was sunny all day. Whilst heading home along River Road I noticed the impending sunset, so we pulled over to grab a couple of quick shots. Camera was set for DRO, with slight -(minus) EC compensation

    Rule of thirds! Don't listen to Richard, don't center objects. :)

      don't you think you're being a little bossy, for a Gurl ?

      Clearly Mrs. Skoot isn't doing her job. And I'm being bossy when Richard downright insults your images?!? Hehe

      thank you, but I only noticed that sunset was upon us so we turned into the parking lot to snap a few. Luckily we were near a Marina. Usually we are in the middle of buildings, and in the city there are a lot of telephone/power lines
