Power Giants

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and favs on my bird/people shots yesterday! I will definitely give that another go. I have always felt very conscious photographing people. Focusing on the birds and using the zoom lens seemed to be a great way to get around that.

Had exactly 20 minutes after leaving work to catch the light before sunset (will leave the dabbles of night shots until the clocks go back in a week's time...). Watched this wind farm being built over the past few weeks and could never figure out where to stop and how to get to a spot where I might be able to capture these giant wind turbines. Tonight I just followed my nose - or more to the point the sunset - and found a spot just outside Lynemouth where I could follow a track, squelching through the mud.

Widdrington Station Wind Farm, Northumberland
Great shot against the sky. I like the look of turbines. You really found an interesting pov here.

Great shot. I love the wind towers against the beauty of the sky.

I know people find these ugly on the horizon, but I find them rather beautiful, especially the way you've captured them against that sky!

These are so much lovelier than power stations!! Against the sky like this they are almost graceful too. Great shot

I feel exactly the same. I find they have a simple grace and beauty and for me they add to the landscape and don't detract from it. And Phil, definitely so much better than staring at a power station :-)
