Ratcliffe Power Station at Dawn

Ratcliffe Power Station at Dawn

Well I suppose it was only a matter of time before one of my photographs was used by someone else in their blog - in this case Planestupid. I am not too sure what I feel about this. On the one hand it is gratifying that my work is seen as being usable by someone else to illustrate a point. However, I was never asked and I am not sure whether I want my work associated with this type of political action. Perhaps if I had been asked then this might have been a little easier - something I have done before myself and when people have objected I have removed the image straight away. There is also the question of copyright - however to an extent this becomes academic when you publish work to Flickr as anyone can copy the work with impunity.

So what to do? Well in truth I don't know. But is is a new problem for me to confront.

Emley Moor TV Transmitter at Dawn

Ratcliffe Power Station

I have been wondering through my back catalogue today.  I find this to be a wonderful thing to do from time to time as I usually come across photographs I had forgotten about.   In this case I thought I would upload the Ratcliffe Power Station and Emley Moor TV transmitter.  I remember making both sets as if it was yesterday.  They were both made within about a week of each other in the depths of winter in 2007.  Both were shot around dawn and I seem to remember it was cold.  I don't think that is much else I could add at this time.
