A Quicksilver Sky - a photo on Flickriver

A Quicksilver Sky

            For all intents and purposes this is a monochrome, but the addition of colour toning with the tone curve has introduced a duotone effect. Like the previous photograph, the sky over the Tamar Valley is quite dramatic, and makes an interesting counterpoint to the trees that line the road where I took this shot. 

I certainly wanted the powerlines in as I feel they balance the composition so that this is not all about the sky. Mind you the detail in the trees, when you enlarge the photo, shows the great dynamic range that the D850 has.

The title comes from the colour toned sky. I can remember working with mercury (quicksilver) when I studied physics many years ago. The sky reminded me of that - a slippery substance, ever changing in form.
