Wind Farm

Took this photo yesterday...its a wind farm in Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire....th​e locals were non to pleased with it...but actually when you get close to them...they really are quite something.......and totally silent.
Shot on a EOS1D mk11N, 20-35mm canon L series lens and a polariser. Comments welcome

Hi Dawn
I see have cracked the size issue.
An interesting shot and what a pity there were no clouds about.
That's life.
Paul

Interesting subject.

One set of possibilities for this image would be to crop in on the set of 4 next to the building, making sure to get a good amount of the hedgerow in the foreground. Straighten up the horizon line. Sharpen. And possibly a judicious bit of saturation might pop the colors a bit.

Hi guys...Paul..yse I've cracked the size problem! No clouds....I guess you can't have everything...

Anthony I've just uploaded for printing and I have cropped in a bit, its a very hilly place difficult to straighten up but you right!

Yea i can see what you mean they would be quite soothing... but i think i can safely say the majority of the Scottish population would rather they remined south of the border... lol no matter how 'silent' they are. nice shot though mabye you could see it to the Scottish parlement for the advertising campaign to get more wind turbines up here... lol but seriously that's a good photo i really like it- a nice time of day with the lighting.

Thanks Richard...I'm with you on not wanting them in Scotland, its one of my favorite places and they would spoil it....mind you I wouldn't wnat near my house down here either!!! Glad you like the shot though...

I cant see the problem with them, Would rather them on my doorstep than a nuclear plant, but then they are always good for someone else's doorstep eh?

Getting back to the post, I like the pic, clouds would have enchanced it more, I have been meaning to get up to BL myself to take some shots, but am not the outdoor type. I prefer to do portraits in the home / studio lol.

Hi Steve....thanks for the comments...I'd have like a fluffy cloud but if there arent any...thats it really....and actually I think kinda gives a sureal look to it....I'd recommend going there though...you know they are big but boy are they big LOL.....

So where abouts in Northamptonshire are you? I love outdoor stuff.....

You are going to have to get some patterson / interfit studio clouds for next time he he,
Unfortunately I am in the eastern district of Northants, maybe thats why I'm not the outdoor type lol.

Seriously my main interest is in portratiture, and I'm bit of a wimp where getting my camera's wet / cold / dusty is concerned. I understand you upgraded to one of the 1D models, a liitle more weather proof I understand. I would dearly love a 5D for my portraiture, but I have spent enough this year already. With intentions of moving house in the not too distant future, I cant see me obtaining a 5D yet, by the time I do it will probably be a 6½D by then.
