Good start to summer.

Here's a couple of photos from the start of summer here in Oklahoma.

1) Sun set on the wind farm.

I was looking at these on the train on the way to work this morning on Flickr

Nice shots!

Not sure if it's my screen, but the far right large wind turbine seems to have some shadowy effects around it.

Nice set Ron! (Do they ever have problems with stampedes on wind farms?)

The sunset picture is nice!

I think there is a shadowy effect, not sure how it got there. Have to look.

Thanks John. I've never experience a problem with stampedes out there but honestly as big as they are, I really wouldn't want to. lol

The sunset picture is nice!

Thank you.

I know that the sunset can be a whole lot better from this location. I was actually just driving home and had to hurry to get to this spot to shoot some test shots for the future. I'll be going back when I can get there in time to set up and spend plenty of time to shoot it.

I was talking with Lew this afternoon and we got to discussing my wind farm sunset photo on this thread. After discussion, I thought about it and decided that a crop was in order for this one.

I like it - nice thinking - what were the reasons behind the crop? Something not sitting right, or just better composition?

Better composition. Lew pointed out that with the original, the eyes just wandered a little. This shows what I was wanting a little more.

Very nice shots.

Perhaps even something a little more balanced to emphasize that the sun and the glorious blush through the bushes is the real center of interest.
