First light at Fiddlers Ferry Power Station on Merseyside.
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

@Curly: Hi Curly, I've been taking photos of these power stations for 2 years now since first getting my Nikon D40 DSLR camera.
The inspiration for them comes from the truly dramatic and powerful photos of the famous English fine art photographer Michael Kenna. He uses medium format film Hasselblads rather than digital technology but the basic principles are very similar. I've learnt so much about photography from looking at his photos.
Here's a link to his power station photos: http://www.michaelkenna.net/gallery.php?id=7
@Momo: Hi Momo, I'd spotted that advertised retrospective of his work at the BNF and we will be in Paris over Christmas on a brief stop over to see family during a journey to the Alps but I doubt it'll be open on the day we're there (Christmas day!). I'd love to get the chance to see his prints - I'd read that they are very small and intimate so it's great to hear what you thought!
You were the first to point me to his photos if your remember back in the days of the Fuji Forum at DPR!
@Curly: wonderful photos aren't they!
