Fiddlers Ferry Power Station
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 31 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
One from the archives: a 6 minute long exposure photo of Fiddlers Ferry Power Station near Widnes.
It was taken using 16 stops of stacked neutral density filters on a Nikon 16-85 lens.

Six minutes! All that time brings so much detail and depth. The smoke from the stacks in such amazing formation. Beautiful image, Ian.

6 minutes is a long time and it was worth it for the smoke from the stacks. A beautifully done photo.

Great work Ian, as always! Apart from the wonderful effect brought about by the long exposure, I particularly like how you use the brushwood as the foreground this time... superb tone and perspective!
