Standing Proud

So I thought I'd add a seventh image and make this a whole week's worth of photos taken from the same viewpoint... hope the (unexpected?) colour doesn't freak you out ;-))

Colour or not - it's still BoB!

[BillyBoy]

It looks very majestic.

[judith deacon]

Very majestic and love that dramatic sky.

[Ko*]

And they look so small from a distance :) they are huge...

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful series color and all

[Marnie]

Fan-bloody-tastic, mate (pun intended). That lighting is just wow.

[Jean]

Love the composition! Makes the windmill so graceful and powerful at the same time. That dark sky makes a great background.

[Richard Sayer]

@golftragic Thanks Marnie for your support this week... I've enjoyed doing something a bit different.

[Islandgirl]

Wonderful lighting!

[gloria jones]

Great composition and capture of light

[Marnie]

@vignouse As you probably know I have a predilection for these kinds of subjects and that kind of processing. Tick, tick.

[Taffy]

So elegantly captured.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

so funny for a moment (just a minuscule moment) I thought - oh look someone else took a photo of a wind turbine ... the colour did trick me. those clouds have been so lowering too - another beauty!

[Denise Wood]

I actually love the dark sky! FAVtastic capture :)

[Margo Sayer]

Classic...Mean, Moody and Magnificent! Take a well deserved bow for this spectacular mini-series.

[Graeme Stevens]

Oh the drama, nicely done

[Chris]

Nicely captured against the moody sky.

[Shanne]

dramatic shot with that sky - why choose colour here? Not that I don't like it, but you don't usually

(although I know far too much about wind turbine gear boxes and I can see one here)

[Issi Bannerman]

Fantastic capture and your caption is perfect.

[Richard Sayer]

@shannejw Unusually, it didn't work for me in B&W - there aren't enough tonal contrasts in the image so it became pretty much mono-tonal grey and white and lacked impact.

[Richard Sayer]

@shannejw Oh, btw, how do you know so much about wind-turbine gearboxes?

[Shanne]

Daughter is a mechanical engineer and for one of her interviews, for a company heavily involved in wind turbine technology, she had to prepare a presentation on wind-turbine gear boxes failure - which I helped her practise.

[Richard Sayer]

@shannejw I do know that they use double helical gears which were invented by André Citroën - he of car fame - which accounts for the double chevron which is the logo of the marque.

[ChristineL]

Surprised to see this one in colour but somehow it adds to the drama

[Paul]

Terrific shot :)

[Denise (lyndemc)]

The sunlight has provided exceptional highlighting on your subject. That moody sky gave the image a strong backdrop.

[carol white]

Great pov and capture. Fav!! 😀

[Jacqueline]

Wonderful capture, fav.

[Kathy]

A neat shot. It shows how big the turbine is. The clouds in the background and sun shining toward the turbine make for some dramatic lighting.

[Henri Russell]

Super capture of the wind turbine blades. I have seen them being hauled down the highway and each blade is huge. You captured this really well. I think the color looks really good for this.
