Wind turbine at dusk

[Skyline]

After going to a country park with my Grandson, we was heading back to the car when I notice this small wind turbine with a nice blue winters sky at dusk.
I was trying to get the shot and portray the cold winter sky, but I'm not sure I've managed that?
I like the shot (obviously, or I wouldn't post it lol) but would like to know any tips how you get a cold winter evening to come out on a picture?...... without someone standing there with a hat, gloves, and a scarf on

Well assuming there is no ice/snow in the scene, I think the best way is to make sure the white balance is cool. That will cause an assumption in the viewer that it is a colder situation. Your shot is pretty cool (WB cool I mean)

I see you have a photographic interest in Welsh architecture.

Thanks Rob. So the picture is cool, but not cool Cool

There's load of these turbines off the coast of Herne Bay too in Kent.

They are going to erect them in Westminster outside parliament - there are plenty of air-bags there.

The WB temp is pretty cool in this shot and the sky has that gloomy winter look so I would have assumed if I wasn't told that this was a mid-winter shot. I wouldn't try to drop the temp of the shot any more and risk it having an unnatural blue tint.

Thanks for that Rob. That cold feel has come across then
