I loved this photograph so much, that I decided to edit it in Photoshop and change it to black and white. I loved it way more in black and white, because it really highlighted the clouds and the body of the electric tower a lot more, while also shadowing everything beneath it.
I had the most beautiful sky to work with for a backdrop in my shot. I loved the repetition of the electric towers, where you could see them for miles through the Kansas fields. While they trail off in size, I wanted to capture the photograph from a perspective that captures how truly massive they really are.
The leading lines in the tower leads you right up to that beautiful blue sky with beautiful clouds. I used the Rule of Thirds for composition, putting the tower on the left of the shot.
I used Photoshop to adjust the contrast, highlights, and shadows, to show more depth and contouring of the clouds in the sky.

Made during the Spring Semester of 2009 for my Photography class. The topographic drawing illustrates the mountains and craters formed by the sheets resting on the body.

Stone
Malegno, Brescia, Lombardy, Italy
c2500 BC
In the Alpine valley of Valcamonica in Italy, a new figurative art flourished around 4,500 years ago.
Ploughs, metal weapons and items of dress were all depicted in stone. Wild and domesticated animals are shown alongside humans or spirit-beings and celestial bodies like the sun as cosmological symbols. These designs reflect new attitudes to gender, economic and agricultural productivity, and conflict.

The World of Stonehenge
(February to July 2022)
Towering above the Wiltshire countryside, Stonehenge is perhaps the world's most awe-inspiring ancient stone circle.
Shrouded in layers of speculation and folklore, this iconic British monument has spurred myths and legends that persist today. In this special exhibition, the British Museum revealed the secrets of Stonehenge, shining a light on its purpose, cultural power and the people who created it.
Following the story of Britain and Europe from 4000 to 1000 BC, visitors learned about the restless and highly connected age of Stonehenge – a period of immense transformation and radical ideas that changed society forever.
The human story behind the stones revealed itself through a variety of fascinating objects. Among these were stone axes from the North Italian Alps, stunning gold jewellery and astonishing examples of early metalwork including the Nebra Sky Disc – the world's oldest surviving map of the stars. A remarkably preserved 4,000-year-old timber circle dubbed Seahenge also took centre stage in the show, on loan for the very first time. All these objects offered important clues about the beliefs, rituals, and complex worldview of Neolithic people, helping to build a vivid sense of life for Europe's earliest ancestors.
Informed by ground-breaking recent archaeological and scientific discoveries, this landmark exhibition offered new insight on one of the world's great wonders, bringing the true story of Stonehenge into sharper focus than ever before.
