Re: Nathan's PAW 46: Danish clouds

Thanks, Ted! I have photographed this spot in the morning and late afternoon; the afternoon shots are never as nice. You really need the contre-jour of the rising sun at this location.

You are right about wet streets and late afternoon. In fact, I am now scanning some Scala images I took Monday afternoon in Copenhagen; it was a rainy day so I decided to use the M6 rather than the DSLR. The only problem is that at this time of year in Scandinavia, twilight is at 3 p.m. so you do not have much time...

Hi Nathan,
An excellent way to cover industrial areas and make them "pretty!" Or in the case of shooting travel assignments for tourism where the area isn't very pretty or the weather is ugly during daylight. Heavy miserable overcasts and or showers.

Just wait till the end of the day and the town begins to move into the twilight zone of the day. Shoot then with the lights coming on and even if the streets are wet they have their own "visual sparkle" from the wet streets reflections or if the sky opens and the last rays of sunlight make or create a sky as you have in these pictures.

Good ones and a good example of how to pretty things up. Developers love a photographer who can make an area look great when it's ugly depressing areas of industry. ;-)
