Two images with dramatically different results of Wind Generators in Mojave, California
The first image was done using an external intervalometer on Nikon D850 with 28-300 lens. 50 separate exposures stacked in Photoshop for the final result.
The second image was shot with manual control using the intervalometer as a remote shutter release, same image count. Blade distortion was because of the imprecise interval produced by my finger on the button. Int eh first image, the interval was evenly spaced, about 2 seconds apart.
These things are HUGE. You really cannot appreciate the size unless you zoom in on the base of one of the towers and see the man-sized door for equipment access.
Cool, they remind me of dandelions, especially the second.
I hope they do their jobs great shots 😊😊👍👍

Fantastic images! Looks like a field of huge dandelions..
Both are great. I prefer the second with color variation on the blades.

Wow
Very modern-art type wind turbines
Nice

That was the look I was going for, so thanks. My aim was to get the correct shutter speed and interval to allow a perfect, gapless "flower" at the top of the stand.
Now that I've had my first vaccine, with the second due towards the end of Feb, I am planning on going back when conditions warrant. I've have learned that there is a sweet spot to the wind conditions for a perfect image. Too low and the turbine blades "hunt" for the optimum angle, which produced the color variations on the second image. Too much wind and, well, I don't feel like me and my camera getting literally sandblasted.
California generates, at the end of 2019, 7.35% of our energy needs from wind, for a total of 5,913 Megawatts.
Interesting captures, especially #1.
I enjoyed the images and the information. I'm going to try it myself. Imitation, the greatest compliment!!!
You managed to make something ugly look beautiful. Congratulation great job
Very nice "power flowers."

An artistic interpretation. #1 for me.
