Good lord, is that an... Electricity pylon?

you've made an excellent job of shooting such an ugly structure, love that sky, very atmospheric.
 
Ta mate. Should have said, but it's an Infra Red shot, also a very long exposure.

Basic info :
Camera ~ Nikon D70
Focal length ~ 15mm
Exposure ~ c. 64"
Aperture ~ F/22
Filter ~ Wratten 87
Tripod ~ Manfrotto 190Pro w/ 460MG

Very nicely done. I noticed the classic infra-red white tree at the bottom :D

When I was shooting it, I hadn't noticed the tree on the preview... I considered cropping it later, but couldn't be bothered. I don't particularly like changing the aspect ratio of pics if I can avoid it, too...

You wouldn't have thought it, but i'd gone out taking very much "nature" photos. This just happened to be in the middle of a field, and when I was stood underneath it, I found it very imposing. Kind of wanted to capture that :)

Cheers guys ;)
 
I like it, but too much white for me.

I tried adding some red, but it looked like you were murdered while the photo was being taken. :D :o

I don't know why, but trying to adjust saturation of Infra Red shots has, thus far, created an effect similar to what you describe. It just doesn't work properly :/

I think it's just because there's very little colour information to begin with - especially with a more dense filter, like the Wratten 87 I used here.
 
Really nice shot but my eyes keep getting distracted by the white tree . I can understand the urge to leave the aspect ratio alone but I think it still works very well with a gentle crop

Also have to agree with Basmic , works well with a hint of (infra) red

Hope you don't mind the tinkering :)

nice mrgrubby, I like it :)

Now i'm thinking maybe cloning out the tree, or at least trying, is worth a go. Wish i'd noticed it on the preview screen tbh >.<

As for the red cast, I like it, but I also really like the slight two-tone effect that I have. Hmmm.

And the whites. I liked those cos' I thought it gave the structure a very "metallic" feel. Not so sure now.

Cheers though guys, I really do appreciate the input :)

Thanks :) , just changed it , I was wondering why the aspect ratio looked really wrong compared to your original then realised I had lopped the top off when I got the big version from DA :o
 
Doh! Yes, it looks even better now... Am tired, but will have a proper play tommorow. A gentle crop would be infinitely easier than cloning...

Thanks for all the help :)
