Electrical Wires #3, Valley Park, MO

I can't pass a tangle of wires without taking a snap and thinking of my former photo assistant, Kiyoshi Kodama.
Technical: Nikon D700, Nikkor 180mm f2.8 "Leni lens", ISO 200, f/4.0 @ 1/1000s, handheld.  RAW file processed in Lightroom 2.5 64-bit.  I started with Mike Lao's "300" preset, then backed off some of the more extreme settings.

Utility Wires #1 - Clayton, Missouri

It is amazing to me that anybody could make sense of this maze of wire, but the fact that I was able to get a composition suggests some sort of order.
Technical: Nikon D700, Nikkor 180mm f2.8 ED-IF ("Leni" lens), ISO 200, f/8.0 @ 1/2500s, handheld.  RAW file processed in Lightroom 2.5 to apply Nikon Landscape camera preset and convert to a tone I think is close to a Agfa Portriga Rapid lightly bleached in a 5% solution of potassium ferrocyanide.
