Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
Ă‚Â Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RRĂ‚Â that I take it a little more seriously.Ă‚Â I started offĂ‚Â here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now soĂ‚Â I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLRĂ‚Â SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)Ă‚Â
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children.Ă‚Â IĂ‚Â NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.Ă‚Â Ă‚Â Ă‚Â Ă‚Â Ă‚Â Ă‚Â I also have an interest in anything historical.Ă‚Â Ă‚Â I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.Ă‚Â Ă‚Â Ă‚Â Ă‚Â Alan

Awesome to see so up close. I have seen many of these out west, if they can reduce air pollution and global warming I am ALL for them. Great photo Alan!
MrsRatbag
They really are huge, aren't they? Great capture!

excellent image my friend, using those vehicles with the landscape really show the scale well with this giant.

Well I guess this answers my question very well Alan :)..Fantastic demonstration of the size, Geeez, but these things are huge!!!!, I am no expert with the RAW thingie either Alan, I got some noise in mine, and there was a tool in Adobe RAW to remove it, but I saw little difference when I used it, so I used noise reduction afterward, maybe someone who knows can help out?...Great capture mate, and thanks for the illustration :)
Cytisus
Excellent image, the ones we have here, as I understand, are 163ft. tall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent pov Alan, I don't know if you planned it but you can just make out Peel Tower on Holcombe Moor, close up to the right of the wind turbine and of course the TV mast at Belmont. I am in agreement with idea but would much sooner have one in my own back yard than these huge monsters blotting the landscape. I would fit solar panels on my roof but the yobs round here would just throw bricks at them, I can't put them to the rear as I'm south facing. Superb work mate, I still haven't been near to them. Bravo!!!!!

Oh my world - that's huge! Thanks for the different perspective.
Garlor
I am so used to viewimg these from the air that the scale reference is useful. Interesting view
beachzz
You never quite get the perspective from a distance -- these things are massive!! Great shot.

Beautiful capture

Great capture Alan! I hadn't realised they were so big!
lucindawind
wow they are huge!! fantastic shot !
Mousson
très original en plus..
fredster66
Wow, and a great show of size it is... excellent work.
danob
Quite huge these things, but maybe better than all those huge Pylons all over the place.. They do tend to have these in large groups in out of the way places which is my only concern as these are often hard to come by these days. Raw Shooter Essentials is great for Raw if you can still get this free one..
RobyHermida
NICE..........

I have the same in my hometown... I was impressed the first time I get near one of them :-) I like your shot. As for me, I haven't used a RAW picture yet :-) Have a great day ! Virginie

Super to see this, Alan!! and I'm glad to say that as yet life is uncomplicated by whatever RAW is!
CavalierLady
Excellent image, this really does show the scale very well. When your consider what it takes to construct one of these, it's actually quite amazing, but they do tend to muck up the landscape when huge farms have hundreds of them strung across the countryside. A really fine shot!
MrsLubner
And do you also have the problem with these turbines chopping up birds? Our are often reviewed since they sometimes whack several raptor-types and other misc. birds that get in the way. Awesome!
jocko500
guess your iso was high too so you would get gran unless your shader speed was high. lot of things to think about in low lighting but a photographer have to learn to shot in all type of lighting cool looking and they are big
tizjezzme
excellent photo showing just how tall them things really are! I've seen fields and fields of these things, and its quite a site! Beautiful shot this is; and quite a view!
tetsu-pino
Woow!!! Magnificent image. Excellent capture!!
ysvry

brilliant capture the yellow bus'es just make this with their contrasting color!!!...
Richardphotos
definitely gives a sense of size. excellent capture. you may be able to get a free conversion software from your cameras manufacturer. I have been able to shoot in raw for several years but do not because it drastically cuts down on the amount of pictures you can put on your card and takes up space on your hard drive
Art_Ramos
Nice photo anyway!!!!
