Ian Bramham's Photoblog
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.
Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to my website Ian Bramham - Fine Art Photography where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.
@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
