These might not be the best quality but I took them from my dads car as we came down the m6. We were going south so I cropped the north bit of the motorway off the bottom. I liked the colours. I liked the power station in the first one.
C & C welcome.

Oh, definitely the first one for me. The power station is excellent, just look at that smoke/cloud! Blown highlights but probably unavoidable in these circumstances.

The colours in the 2nd one are nice but the crop doesn't work nearly so well, not quite enough ground at the bottom I think.

First image for me - the blown highlights just add to the drama. Love the composition with the big sky emphasised by the tiny powerstation, which we know is not tiny. Well seen and taken from a moving car (i assume it was moving!)
Everything is possible - just not today.

Nice shots

I still take pic's from my Dad's moving car occasionally and I'm nearly 40

I wonder if that's why he doesn't offer to drive very often or perhaps it's the 30 mile round trip to come to see us

Or perhaps it's because he can drink my beer if he con's my Mum into driving
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.
