Bonsoir Henryk,
Un ciel fantastique et très originale.
La combinaison des nuages et de la fumée qui sort de la cheminée autour de ce trou de lumière, c'est très bien vu.
Amitiés.

Hello Henryku :)
Dzi¶ przez k³êbowisko dymów mrocznych, podziwiaæ mogê S³oñca zachód... Ciê¿ko oddychaæ wrêcz, tak tu od dymu gêsto... Ponuro¶æ i szaro¶æ, któr± kreuje na zdjêciu g³ównie dym, jest na szczê¶cie ograniczana ciep³em ¶wiat³a s³onecznego, które pod¶wietla chmury. Ta pomarañczowo o¶wietlona partia chmur wygl±da jak jakie¶ wrota w niebie, za którymi byæ mo¿e kryje siê jaki¶ tajemniczy l±d... ¦wietna jest te¿ ta sko¶na rysa na zdjêciu w postaci chmury Cirrocumulus fractus ;). Naturalne piêkno "zachodniego" zjawiska kontrastuje tu z nie-piêknem dymów, których powstanie towarzyszy produkcji energii m. in. potrzebnej do ogrzewania, a którymi cz³owiek zatruwa przyrodê. Uroda zachodu na poprzednim "energetycznym" zdjêciu by³a wyrazista i niczym niezm±cona; tutaj wymaga ona za¶ dostrze¿enia spoza szarych zas³on dymu ;).
Fotografia ³adna, ciekawa, pouczaj±ca, misiêpodobaj±ca :).

Energetycznie i energicznie pozdrawiam :)

Hi Henryk,
You managed to capture a beautiful sky and a great sunset in the early spring. Beautiful dark clouds, as well as smoke from that lonely chimney surrounding the lighter sky around the sun. That diagonal right through the sun is a very nice detail too. Well captured and thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Witaj Heniek!
Dobre edukacyjne foto. Ladna kompozycja i kolorki, nawet szary dym odgrywa tutaj swoja role. Ciekawa praca.
Pozdrawiam

Bonjour Henryk,
si les usines polluent, elles ont cet avantage minime de garnir le ciel de fumées qui peuvent être esthétiques. La touche de rouge où le soleil se couche est un des points forts de la photo.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hi Henryk
this is a very beautifull sky. The colors are amazing. The chimney give a special impression. It's possible to find it beautifull, even if the reality of this is not.
Excellent report

Hi Henryk,
If that a coal-fired electrical generating plant? The sunset adds color to the dark clouds.

Hi Henryk
strange combination of smoke, clouds and the glorious light of the sunset, but good results in an appealing image, with an original composition, may be I would crop the lower right corner a little
but nice shot
cheers

Hi Henryk
Beautiful dark clouds in this very good composition. I like how you framed it, the factory and smoke. Nice colours and details
Have a nice day
Aires

pablominto (40402) 2008-04-30 1:06

Hello Henryk,
This scenery appears as dramatic, with traces from two sources of pollution!
The powerplant and the masts to carry current to consumers, besides an aircraft was just passing by...
Interesting light and fine details!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Henryk. Good documentary photo. We don’t have too many of these here, we just block our rivers to make our power (hydroelectricity). Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

ChrisJ (70019) 2008-04-30 2:13

Hi Henryk

I like the opposing diagonals of the jet trail & smoke plume. Superb sunset colours & compo. Tfs!

salvator (18763) 2008-04-30 2:38

Hi Henryk,
Very nicely captured with different colors and tones in the sky. The yellow/red color of the setting sun, also reflecting on the clouds above looks very nice.
Best regards. Salvator.

toto (18695) 2008-04-30 3:02

Bonjours,
belle photo de ce coucher de soleil si, plus sombre que l' autre mais néanmoins aussi jolis.
Ces lueurs légères, ces superbes nuages sombres, cette trace d' avion, ces ombres chinoises des bâtiments sont de toute beauté et le tout en fait une excellente prise.

Amitiés Thomas

Angshu (33551) 2008-04-30 3:05

Hello Henryk
The jet line splits open the image throwing light amidst the dark smoke & the dark clouds in the horizon. Nice image from the industrial setting, especially the sky.
Regards
Angshu

A very pretty image! Very beautiful clouds and colors! TFS

nicol_g (759) 2008-04-30 6:16

The dark, thick clouds give also the impression of polluting smoke, Henryku, and I have a heavy feel as if the earth is suffocating..
I like much the intense red light at the horizon. A moody, thoughtful, disquieting picture; don't know but it has an eerie feel overall, something a bit surreal.
Best wishes.

Witaj!
Wspania³y kadr,super kolorki,piêknie zadymione s³oñce!

Hi Henrik,
C'est sur que de la journée cela donne un autre aspect, mais içi la fumée donne une touche prticuliére au coucher de soleil
Have a nice evening for you

Hi Henryk,
great dramatic sky with great clouds. well framed picture. friendly regards.

feather (49858) 2008-04-30 12:14

It's surprising how beautiful an industrial skyline can look when taken in the right light. You have a wonderful mixture of man-made and natural "steam" amidst the beautiful sunset colours
Well done

Hmm, you need some constructive critique on this and I am glad I can help. First of all the rule of thirds is not followed making the eye trying to find a place to "rest". Then the dark lane at the bottom has some details the eye cannot see and aborts trying! Why not make it completely black (shadow)? This would get rid the annoying white diagonal pipe(?) at the bottom right of the frame. Finally there's so much sky you almost lose the main subject (what is the main subject?).
Sorry man I had to be strict on this one. If not, I would be lying and this is not something that should be expected from anyone here (at least not me!). Try to workshop and maybe repost this one. It has potential and with the right cropping and manipulation, it can be a success.
Again, please don't take my comments the wrong way, I wouldn't want that.
Today +1 mate :-( , sorry
Nick

dear ...every time you show us a different sky :) and is always some magic touch looking at
beautiful again
thanks sharing

||| Witaj Henryku. Trudno się wypowiadać na taki temat. Z jednej strony się podoba (wykonanie) a z drugiej nie (to co ten "temat" robi z naszą naturą). Gdyby tak te dymy to były dymy z tlenu, to napisałbym że pięknie. A tak. Nie wiem co napisać. Chyba na tym zakończę :-( ||| W każdym razie pięknie cię pozdrawiam. Mirek |||

robertosalguero (2763) 2008-05-01 1:22

Hello Henryk,

A plane and smoke stack combine nicely to create a sense of energy created and used. Nice image with a soft texture and colours. The view is interesting and remind me a bit of the city of Katowice. Nice work !

Gerrit (35593) 2008-05-01 4:30

Hi Henryk,
great colours and the clouds mingle perfectly with teh smoke in this apocalyptic landscape.
Regards, Gerrit

jhm (82201) 2008-05-01 4:35

Hello Henryk,

You show us very well the great air polution, through the smoke from the chimney.
The sky is almost completely black, but I find your picture very well, certainly good presentation to rest of the world.
Nice done, thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

Didi (35998) 2008-05-01 7:07

Hello Henryk
Very nice lights with this dramatic sky.
Perhaps my WS will be an answer to Mr Maverick ?
Cheers

a very dramatic shot here Henryk,
the backlight shot is nice, very good the atmosphere here, good photojob I like the idea, have a nice day.
gr. jaap

Vato_Law (11660) 2008-05-01 13:24

Hello Henryk or should I say the artist:)?
You used to the utmost pefection this sunseting hour to get those beautiful colours in the sky in contrast with this high chimney expelling smoke. I like the rendering of the smoke here against the clouds, and also the fact that it has volume doesn't look flat like i've seen here before.
Now, that piece of roof in the right side, hmmm... doesn't look to artistic but ok it doesn't bother that much too.
Cheers.
Paulo

mikeo (12113) 2008-05-02 1:14

Witamy, witamy:)
Sesje sie skonczyly i od razu fotka sie pojawia:)))
A tak powaznie...Co za klimat! Ciemno, brudno i ponuro...Ale niestety taka rzeczywistosc...Taki nastroj a la Jasmis:)
Powiem szczerze...klimat powalajacy ale jakos te poprzednie fotki bardziej mi pasowaly...no ale probowac trzeba wszystkiego...

Mam nadzieje, ze tym komentarzem nie przekreslam szans na obiecana sesje;)

Pozdrowionka,
Mikeo

PS. Punkty beda, ale dzis sie juz skonczyly...

danos (32198) 2008-05-03 1:43

Witaj henryk,
the tranquil light is excellent and the mellow mood beautiful, the horizon gives great depth and the sub light ground help a perfect balance, this is a gorgeous scene.The only thing that i can't understand, and don't write, is the way that we gain energy to heat our houses from this splendid sunset..

Have a nice weekend,Danos

batalay (20810) 2008-05-04 6:43

Hello Henryk,

You caught a superb sky in this image — the fumes from the tall stack actually enhances the sunset, but than particulates from volcanos also enhance sunsets. The contrail of a jet flight adds beauty to the image. By placing parallel plates with high-voltage gradients the smoke can be precipitated, but it is a gorgeous image as it is. For energy, I am a strong proponent of controlled fusion, achievable within one generation if we mobilize. There would be no radioactive waste, the H-2 present in the oceans (1/142 atoms of hydrogen) is sufficient for ten billion years (more than the lifetime of our sun); the lithium which would be used both as a source of heat to create steam for the turbines, and also to breed H-3 also necessary for the fusion reaction exists for 30,000 years. As an astronomer, you probably know much of this. (I did some theoretical research in plasma physics at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton.)

Warm regards,

Bulent

jackart (5542) 2008-05-04 13:26

Cześć Henryku!

Energia zamienia się w dym, co? Interesująca gra kolorów. Nieco przeszkadza mi tylko jasna linia w prawym dolnym rogu. Fragment jakiejś barierki?

Pozdrawiam
Jacek

zeca (20026) 2008-05-04 19:22

Hi Henryk!
Factories are usually ugly subjects, but its smoke are always an impressive detail. So, if we compose it in a nice way, we can keep just the detail and make a nice photo, like you did here using the little silhouettes and the nice sky.
Regards,
Zeca

jlynx (11380) 2008-05-08 5:15

To niewiarygodne, jak ma³e z naszej perspektywy jest s³oñce, które odpowiada za znakomita czê¶æ energii, jak± dysponujemy. Co prawda staramy siê rywalizowac z tym potê¿nym reaktorem, co bardzo ³adnie pokaza³e¶ w tym kadrze. Jednym naci¶niêciem spustu migawki pokaza³e¶ kilka najwa¿niejszych aspektów przetwarzania energii w obrebie naszej planety. Dobry kadr, ¶wietny nastrój (k³êby dymów zdaja sie wychodziæ poza kadr), ¶wietnie odciêta od nieba linia kondensacyjna ¶wiecaca swiat³em s³onecznym, a w tle piêkny zachód s³oñca ledwie przebijajacy siê przez t³usty dym rodzimej produkcji. Kolory bardzo donre, ¶wiat³a tak¿e. Kompozycja drobiazgowo przemy¶lana choæ troszeczkê przeszkadza jasny element w prawym, dolnym naro¿niku. Mocny kadr!
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
Jurek

riclopes (32957) 2008-07-07 5:11

Interesting threads...Olá Henryk, I agree with you in everything, although I have some doubts about the roof on the corner. The sky is a powerful painting and mix of diferent energies. Beautiful and a bit scary.
Um abraço,
ricardo

Ola Henryk ,
Bonita foto de core fortes o céu ficou lindo , gostei das silhuetas das fabricas a poluirem o mundo , bom enquadramento da foto , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Cześć Henryku,
Doskonałe kolory, wspaniałe odcienie, interesująco się ten dym z churami komponuje.
Przyjemność dla oka.

Hello Henryk,
This shot shows that even urban landscape can looks great if it is captured at a proper time by a good photographer. Beautiful colors and light!
