Critique Jodrell Bank at sunrise

[wippers]

Having looked at the local weather, yesterday morning I decided to head up to the local hill Mow Cop and get some shots of Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope poking out of the early morning mist.
Taken from about 7-8 miles away with a 500mm f4.

 

[Paul Cronin]

Yes I like this, very simple and nice colours.

 

[jollyjack]

fantastic!

Beautiful shot almost like an alien structure on a far off world. Can you tell I am a StarTrek fan.

 

[Deleted member 3428]

That is pretty cool.

Really like that, a great use for 500mm! I would be tempted to crop a little of the top.

 

[RD400]

I like it just goes to show you some times don't need a lot in a picture to make a wonderful picture well done

 

[kernowbhoy]

Great shot ! Must have been very satisfying to see it lit so well.

 

[wippers]

Cheers for the comments guys. I've been up on the hill plenty of times in the past and seen the dish with the sunlight in the early morning and I've also seen it popping out of the mist, but not both together. Good job I watched the weather forecast the night before.
I'll have a play Michael with a different crop and see how that looks.

Thats a lovely shot.

That's is cracking, it also shows that landscapes are not always limited to UWA there are instances where going long is the only way to get the shot well unless you can fly

 

[dexter35yrs]

brilliant shot looks somewhat alien

 

[Brecksbirder]

So simple, so effective.

 

[pooley]

Well planned and executed

 

[Jao]

Gareth, that is a corker!

 

[Delta Skies]

An absolute winner. I'm loving the simplicity and lighting in this.

 

[macs]

very simple and brilliant. I love these types of shots where there is almost nothing in it but it's so beautiful all at the same time.

 

[wippers]

Cheers for the kind word everyone.

 

[Woodsy]

Yep, that's a winner. Perfect fog and the light is superb.

 

[YosemitePaul]

A really great shot.
Simple but beautiful.

 

[Dave in Wales]

I'm loving it......

However, may I suggest.......

To me the 'front' is the flat side, I always prefer more space in 'front' of the subject than behind.....but that's just me.

An excellent capture nevertheless.

 

[Tunbridge]

Really like it, great planning and good use of a 500mm. There can't be many photos in this section taken with a 500mm!

Oh and good dedication too for carrying it to the top of the hill!

 

[lightshipman]

Brilliant

 

[dinners]

Very nice. Simple but effective.

You even have it looking (or is it listening) into the frame.

Being fairly local, I had many fun school trips to Jodrell Bank.

 

[wippers]

Cheers guys. Not sure which way rounds looks best to be honest. Works either way for me I think.
I'll have to be honest and say that I only had to walk about 2 mtrs as there's a road and car park at the top.
This is the first time doing a landscape with the 500mm as the subject was about 8 miles away!!

So simple, so effective.

Really like this shot, I was there a few months back and found it hard to get anything worth keeping.
