Oct 8 :Power to the People

Red Road, West End

Tonight we had a lovely evening sky and I went out here, on the edge of Pirbright Ranges to catch this. The pink light extended right over to the eastern horizon and the light was surreal everywhere.

Oooh, this is beautiful. The sky is amazing. And I love how the the light things fade into the golden distance.

Nikki; thanks for your kind comments - always nice coming from you whose work I regularly enjoy. I did actually use Auto Levels in Photoshop which I think restored the true colours, as the original was yellowy which was not right at all. I don't know about your Canon, but my little Fuji certainly needs colour adjustment in low light. I have posted both versions in my 'In Progress' gallery for you to compare. They are so different! The most difficult part in capturing this shot was parking the car on a winding hilly road in the rush hour! The spot is just SW of Lightwater and south of Camberley. I had planned another visit tonight but dusk was quite 'boring'!~~~Ray.

Georgeous colours in the sky, Ray! I like this shot a lot. Did you use any photoshop in this?

Hi Ray

You got a nice, if not a romantic shot of what keeps the lights on during the darker part of the day.
By some change, I just happened to shoot the power grid in my country this morning as my POD !!!
