28.4.08 - Elemental Power. It's been a long time since I had a sunset as my DP, but it is weird how similar this one is to the last one. I've substituted a distant power station for the Cathedral, but the golden drama in the sky is almost identical. It has been another day of heavy April showers, and these always seem to give great sunsets. It was very difficult to get the lighting in this image anything like the real thing, the contrast between light and shade was so huge, but I'm happy with this now. The power station is about 15 miles away, and it was under a big storm cloud making it completely dark. There was rain between me and it, but beyond the station was brilliant sunshine. When you compare the power of humans in the form of the power station, with the power of nature in the form of sunshine and storms, there is only one winner!
