The beacon

The beacon · 02:32 PM

This evening, an army facility (I think). Nothing secret so don't worry.

Sigma 75-300 DL f/4-5.6 @ 123mm

, ISO800, SR off (forgot to turn it on), cropped with a little noise filtering

As a silhouette, it's hard to tell exactly what it is. However, it looks like a doppler radar installation to me, most likely for weather detection. Regardless, nice capture of the colorful sky with the building lights in the foreground.

Very cool, LED. The shot - because of the color and the grain - as an otherworldy, "science fiction" sort of look. An unusual and compelling shot.

Have to agree with Jer on this one, great shot and I could see a title "Waiting for the Centarians" or maybe "the Watchers never sleep" or something similar. Otherworldly and peaceful at the same time.

Thanks guys. I was in a 250km trip, to the seaside, and on the road back home I saw this building and the changing red sky. I shot this from my car's window. The colours faded after one minute.
