#658 – Ratcliffe Power Station 2

It’s possible to see the cooling towers from the south and the west, so I had a quick look round to get a few different perspectives. There are eight in total, neatly arranged in two rows of four. I found that the most interesting composition was the one above, with the sun over my shoulder and the power lines following the angle (more or less) of the row of cooling towers. I’ve had to reduce the tones in the sky to help put the emphasis on the lines and shapes.

This is a more conventional view, taking looking down the access road to the East Midlands Parkway railway station. I’ve treated the sky in the same way, but increased the contrast in the lower half of the scene. The lamppost jutting into the cooling tower on the right is something I didn’t spot in camera and it annoyed me a soon as I noticed it on the monitor when I got home!
