A telephoto lens shot of a plane taking off at dusk from Manchester Airport. 10minutes later, the sun had set and this red glow in the sky had vanished.

@ocorti: Thanks Ocorti!
@Margie: Thanks very much Margie!
@MahGol: Well that's a lovely thing to say MahGol but I would never compare my photos to anything like Rothko's work. I read an explanation of the development of his paintings a while ago and it gave me a headache :-)
This is just a simple photo after all.
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks Michael....I would never have considered using such a long lens for landscape photography before trying it for myself.
@HoMo: Thanks very much!
@Guillermina: Thanks Guillermina....if anything the real scene was a lot more spectacular. The setting sun was just about to break through that cloud layer which was filtering the light to give that unearthly colour.
@Guillermina: My perception of photography has been slowly evolving over the last 6 months since getting this DSLR. I used to photograph things in a straightforward documentary way but more recently I've been trying to put across my own feelings and thoughts in my photos. It comes naturally to you Guillermina but personally it's something I struggle with (as much photographically as emotionally)
This photo here is perhaps the first one I've done that tries for some personal interpretation rather tan just mechanically recording a scene although you'll see that it is heavily derivitive of Steichen's work: http://ianbramham.aminus3.com/image/2008-04-29.html
