Geometric lines can be very dynamic.

Getting up early ...
That is the crux of the problem. If you want to capture dynamic images, you have to be willing to get up very early, sometimes even before dawn and position yourself in place. Or be at a spot when the sun is setting - which means working with a flashlight to find your way around.

This still does not assure you that you will be able to capture the image you have in mind. You might have to return to the same spot time and again. What it boils down to is perseverance and patience.

The image above was captured at the Canal Road farms around 7:30am. Thank goodness for a stormy day, otherwise the sky might be too washed out on a cloudless day, the foreground could have been flat as well.

  1. Great pic! There is a tunnel effect point of view, I can't describe it properly; the low sky, and the lines. Well done.
