Post 17

The 17th post in this series, will once again look at a photo of the top of the chimney tower silhouetted against the sky in the background.

This picture was taken towards the beginning to middle of winter, at sunset, to catch the look of a sunset. Some people might claim that it might be easier to photograph such an image at sunrise and then falsely claim it was a sunset job, but most people would be able to tell that this photo was definitely taken at sunset.

Again, the silhouette provides a stark contrast between black and white, giving off impressions that the image could have been taken in the past, in an age when there was only black and white photography.

Also, as mentioned previously in another photograph, there is a rather interesting effect with the clouds breaking up and the top of the chimney, which can give off a good effect of smoke still rising from the chimney, like it once did.

The way that this is framed is to have the main subject directly in the centre, while having the old mill and the sky around the edge, not distracting the viewer but giving a sense of place and time.
