West Burton Sunny Afternoon

West Burton A Power Station ~5.5km away.

First experiment with a DIY 400mm lens. ISO 100, 1/1250.

In case you're wondering, "DIY" means it's a small (70x400) refractor telescope combined with a couple of 3D printed adapters to make an utter monstrosity that goes on the front of my D3200. The focus is a little off due to the large manual focusing mechanism of the "lens".

I have minorly adjusted exposure and saturation in GIMP as well as using a clever plugin to lessen the effects of chromatic abberation as these were previously quite noticeable.

 

West Burton has two cooling towers that particularly stand out to me more than the others. The yellow tower, and the ribbed tower (as I refer to them, for obvious reasons), both of which are visible and quite noticeable here.
