Wind and clouds

[tb2]

A recent sky full of very 3D "fair weather" clouds seemed the right backdrop for a shot of some Lincolnshire wind turbines.

Just fantastic. Lots of highlighted whites and not a single overexposed pixel.

(I just added a visit to a wind farm to my schedule. Thanks for the inspiration )

Nice compopsition and color.

Thanks Invisible and Clupica. I'd have loved a second shot with a person bottom right looking very small against the turbines and the big sky, but I was alone that afternoon.

Lovely shot. I love the way the clouds carry my eyes as if they were riding the wind.

Thanks Arran, Janet & Don. Regarding the sky, I underexposed for it, and brought the land and sky back to where they were separately in PP.

Regards, Tony

Wouldn't that have been cool? But the shot as is, is wonderful. I too am awed at how well you exposed for the whites. And the patterns/lines in the fields fascinate me too
