Turner-esque


Hmm, start a new series and then a sky like this comes along....  So amazing, I couldn't wait to show you!  I will return to my 'search for colour' tomorrow - though in fact there's plenty of colour here too.

I think J M W Turner, 'the painter of light', might have enjoyed this view over Saltaire, taken on Monday.

    Very dramatic . . . . I'm just trying to figure out where you took the image from . . . a hot air balloon perhaps, of maybe atop the Shipley market clock tower? ? ?Whatever, it is an excellent image. I wonder what it would look like in monochrome with the mill highlighted in honey colour ?

    Like the way you have let the sky dominate.

    Looks like a perfect day to be out with your camera. I have to admit a weakness for clouds and the way light plays on them. Jim

    It is a wonderful sky. One just has to interrupt and show what you have anyway. Great photo.

    A touch of Constable, as well.

    Gorgeous and dramatic! Makes me think of El Greco's "View of Toledo."

    Yes, "Turneresque" is the word. You might want to frame this one.

    What a wonderful photograph. I really admire those who can see this kind of photo in a scene before recording it. It really is a gift. It's not one I have. (Slight lack of depth perception). But I certainly do recognize the gift when I see it.

    We've had some dramatic skies here too. I love the quality of the light in your photo.

    Sean's right I think, more Constable than Turner perhaps.

    It is a super sky but what I find interesting is how we can see the size of the mill building it looks huge from here.

    A wonderfully dramatic capture Jenny, and I agree with Diane B - that chimney is gi-normous!

    Very, very nice. I think BOTH Turner and Constable would have liked this sky view.
