Christian Photographers Community

Another favourite night time shot, again sharing fellowship with a Christian friend, he was on a church erand, around Wilmslow, south of Manchester, I said, "Do you want to have a look up on Alderley Edge, see what the views are like," so we went, there were miles of fields with ripening grain, stretched out beneath us. Geoff was mightily impressed, with the scenery, and on our way back that summers evening we passed this view of Jodrel Bank, and as soon as Geoff saw this, it was a good job we were wearing seat belts, another screaching halt job.
   I took this using a 200mm lens, Geoff got a better shot with the 150mm setting of his zoom lens, but I like it, the detail in the structures and the soft blue grey of the twilight, it was this softness of the dusk colours which caught Geoff's attention in the first place. God does lead us into some of the most remarkable experiences, and we just have to be ready to notice them when He does.

Cool! When Jodrell Bank was built it was the largest radio telescope in the world, and has made many ground breaking discoveries in radio astronomy.

that is indeed an amazing picture!

Take a good look at it folks, the powers that be are talking of closing it down in order to save a couple of million quid a year, so it says in one of last weeks newspapers. The grand old lady of radio astronomy is threatened with, I was going to say retirement, but its more like redundancy, and if redundancy, then the scrapyard could be the next step, some day you maybe driving around in a part of Britains history. What a government.

  I like picture.

Did you use a polarizing filter? It's really blue. If not, how did you do that?

No filter lad, just good old Kodachrome, and reciprocity failure due to several seconds exposure. No this  wasn't Kodachrome, it was Fujichrome, the blue tone is typical of Kodachrome, which I like a lot, but unusual with Fuji, must be the aliens again doing it. Time to call out the men in their white coats.

  Oooooooohhhhhhhh. I didn't know that because I don't use film. Thanks for telling me.!

Now they're trying to close it down as being redundant, try and find the picture again, its annoying when this happens.
