2019 Mixed Theme Challenge

Cheers @BrianB . I was torn between the two but loved the orangey glow of the cooling towers from the last of the sun. The strong dark blues and greens of the solar farm appealed to though lol. #toughone

I have a week in France coming up. I’ll have the MP with me but anything I take there will be inadmissible. :sob: On tenterhooks to find the next theme and see if I’ll be able to manage an entry.

Missed the water thing, so here is a quick entry for part 2.

Drax Power station taken Wednesday 15th May from the energy walk (built on the old ash mounds and maintained by Drax for the community). Interesting fact they also graze rare breed sheep and pigs on the mounds that produce fantastic sausages.

Mavic Pro, auto levels in PS is the only edit.

Good video mate

I went out last night to trial Litchi and had no real plans to try and capture anything so this image is a bit ‘meh’ in terms of interest. It is a grab from some of the footage I snagged using DaVinci Resolve. Not sure if the footage will be useful beyond a few image exports but will see what we see.

Location for this is here and if you scroll out you will see HMP Parc almost due north - you can just see one edge of Coity castle in the image and is something I’ve shot with my drone and DSLR a few times over the years as it is only 20m walk from my house.

Anyway, definitely meets the ‘Golden Hour’ criteria…

Here is my entry for the Golden Hour taken this morning at 05:45. It includes the Holy Trinity Church in Kemsley, Sittingbourne. Behind the church is the Milton Creek country park. The sun wasn’t strong due to low cloud, but as I’m usually working during both golden hours I didn’t want to rely on getting any sun this weekend.

Golden Hour
Taken 21/05/19 at Silverlink Biodiversity Park, North Tyneside aorund 20:30
The Sundial is on top of the highest hill in North Tynside, 92m and is 5m in height. If you get to close to it with the Mavic you get compass error mesages.

I’m not going to get much of an opportunity for Golden Hour in the UK so here’s a quick clip from this evening of Edinburgh Castle. Getting to be a familiar view here!

Taken at 21:37 On the 22nd may 2019. In Morecambe. Looking out from above the West end toward the bay. I only popped out to put my lads bike away, I looked up and saw the sunset so ran indoors, grabbed the M2P and sent it up, all I did was alter the iso on the fly. I need to get learning the camera settings.

This pic was taken to tonight just after 9pm from where I work at Royal Portbury Docks near Bristol. This is straight from my mp with only a small tweak to the white balance

Nice one Steve, you get some great sunsets on the coast there. I remember years ago getting a fabulous sunset at Arneside. :sunglasses:
