An empty street

Empty street Todays photo is from down town Skærbæk at around 6 o’clock in the evening. At that time there are no people, cars or living creatures, and even the colours has disappeared :)

An empty street, not exactly something you can use a long time looking at, but gives a bit of mysterious look . The play of light, and the way the street lights light up the road to create a diagonal light kind of works for me.

You could argue that a lone figure walking down the road would be good, and I agree except for the fact that it would be a blur with the shutter speed I had to use.

Power plant in the dark I know I promised you (or mostly my self)  a black and white week, and I did post a black and white image today. But I just have to show you this image I also took tonight. I absolutely love the colour of the sky.

It is taken with a 30 second shutter time, which shows a deep blue colour even if it looked black to me.

Skærbækværket

Skærbækværket Today I took a shot at my work place, or at least part of what my company owns and operates. That I work right next to it is more of an random occurrence.  But I think it looks beautiful when I can see the mirror image on the silent fjord on a nice sunny winter day.

I don’t want to go into the discussion of climate here, lets save it for a time and place.

Normally I don’t like a horizon in the middle and many people will agree with me that it looks boring. In this case though, I did it on purpose, since it gives me a symmetrical image with the mirroring effect in the water. So once in a while I think it can work.

Normally though, I would likely try to aim for the horizon at either one third or two thirds into the image to follow the rules of thirds.

It was fairly hazy so the image didn’t have much contrast, so I tried a few different options for  post processing, this one I am fairly happy with.
