marvellous light and colour. An almost palpable sense of isolation. I like the powerlines. The give a sense that this it their link & connection to the wider world. They also help as leading lines to lead the eye into the pic.
Another great night shot Miles. Really liking these and I think this is my fav. Whereabouts are you located now-a-days? This looks like leafy sussex to me?
Great photo! You've got to love the moon on night like this one. It's pretty cold around here, so I haven't gotten out to take full advantage. I have to say, with 53 seconds of open shutter, I'm surprised that you don't see any movement in the stars. Cool.

Thanks all, you can see this house in the previous post, on the far right. The colour here is 'natural', I haven't altered it in post. You can see in the post yesterday a slight tint of purple on the right of the sky, and this shot is taken up there pointing in that direction.
It's always interesting to see what colours come out of long exposures, sometimes, as in the very long exposure 'orange' posts from last week, it seems to take the slightest hint and blow it across the image.
Cheers Miles, this is really great work. Those night shots with digital come out really well, better than I would have expected. How do you meter them? Makes me want to run out and get a digital camera.
Miles, I have to say that this is my personal favorite of the recent shots. They're all great, but there's just something about that magenta sky that really hooks me in. Lovely.
wonderful image, Miles. Reminds me somewhat (in spirit) of the work of Todd Hido. While his execution is a little different than yours, it conjurs a very similar mood of eerie calm - www.toddhido.com
WOW. I can't even really say anything constructive about this. It's just incredible. It almost looks like something you'd see in a big budget movie. :D

Very captivating, Miles. I'm amazed at the light quality.
Stupid powerlines...you'd think with all this technology man would have figured out a way to hide those things by now.

Gorgeous the way the light creates a diagonal gradient across the sky. Has a very surrealistic fictional feel.
