Hi Santo,

The colours of this image are very attractive. I find the image oversharpened though, specially on the water. Nice perspective of this plant and good capture at this time of the day. Thanks Santo :-)

Hi Santo, As you say it is a gas fired station so "smoke" is unlikely. I imagine that it is steam or water vapour. When hyrocarbons burn you get CO2 and H20 (if I remember chemistry correctly - which may not be the case). There may also be steam produced through water cooling. Whether the water vapour is visible might depend on the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air. Or maybe it is something else :-).

On the image, I'm with Roberto on the oversharpening, visible on the ripples in the water where the contrast is a bit too high to look real. Given that, it is surprising that there are no halos around the masts, perhaps you masked them when you sharpened? I think the red saturation is a also a bit high. The colour in the sky looks good, not real, but good :-). The bright red from the lights though looks a bit odd. cheers, Steve

Hi Santo,
I love your sense of humour, cynicism has always appealed to me.
Great capture, the sky is marvelous and the way you've managed the light is superb.
The water looks a bit oversharpened to me, but could be the result of the wind causing the effect.
Good POV and composition.
Regards
Peter

Hey Santo,

Oh, I see you`re continuing with your evening shots, very good. I like this one. It has loads of elements, but beside that I like industrial photography, very strong and poignant on the colors, with a fine composition to it. Extremely beautiful colors, especially on the horizon.

My best regards.

Hello Santo,
There is certainly an eerie atmosphere to this picture. The light is fantastic and the red, yellow and green reflections almost mind-blowing. The clouds remind me of Doomsday on some old painting.
Regards,
Gert

hello Santo

You have combined a good evening light of the sky and clouds with the reflection on water from the industrial zone of this area to make a great slow shutter exposure. The -1EV has given a tough UE but it does bring out the light on the shoreline and the end result is a nice overall balance of tone.

Any pp work for the FG? tfs

Hello Santo,
It is true that to produce in mass of electricity, clean energy to the eyes of the users, moves pollution far from on their premises. Finally, nuclear energy is not so badly…
Excellent night image.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hi Santo!
Very good night shot, with good exposure. I like the colours, the texture of the water and the reflections. The sky is really beautiful too.

Hello Santo,

This is a continuation of your previous post entitled "Julie's Place", both taken on the same date, perhaps even from the same vantage point. I can see the Scenic Flight banner in both. The sky in this shot is darker and very dramatic, seems to be taken much later than the previous one.

The maritime elements such as the boats, jetty and masts are all very sharp and there is no sign of oversharpening, so I believe the ripple effect is the result of the wind blowing from the left, evident from the chimney's smoke. I think you have captured the essence of the moment - quiet and yet a dramatic marine ambiance with excellent warm colours.

Best regards
Alfred

Che magia! Spero di ritrovarla nelle foto notturne di Castelbrando che hai scattato sabato pomeriggio.
Buon ritorno a casa.
