The Low Winter Sun

[Orol]

Starting with two similar images although taken one week and some 200km away from each other.

The chimney of the heating plant in the second shot drew my attention so I tried to make some detail of the scene. How do you like it? I am not sure with the result though...

Like the chimneys a lot. Also like the fact that the image is light. At first glance it looks like it should be darker but that might make it more mainstream

Thanks, ricohnick. The visibility was not good that time as can be seen in the middle photo so even when using the maximal available 300mm tele there was a miserable contrast in the image. When post-processing, adding even more contrast started to emphasize ugly blotchy patterns over the background revealing the truth it was taken as JPEG. Maybe RAW would be a better choice in this particular case.

Peter,

I like these photos, particularly the composition & the way you have controlled the lens flair in #2 and the low contrast in #3, great shots.

Beautiful vistas Peter. The last photograph would of been difficult to shoot with the haze & into the sun.

Thank you both for your encouraging words.
