A photo from an offshore windfarm in the Irish Sea in NW England.
It's difficult to get a real idea of the vast scale of these turbines from this particular photo - they are 3MW generating capacity and about 120 meters tall (quite a bit taller than Big Ben on the Houses of Parliament in London)
Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog

@IanSmith: Thanks Ian....I've been using Flickr for about a year and use it to experiment a little more than I do here at Aminus3. The opportunity to take these photos at the offshore windfarm came about after I took some interesting photos of cockle fishermen at work on the sands of Morecambe Bay about a year ago. As a thank you to the guys for letting me photograph them at work I sent a set of the images to their office. The owner of that company also owns a company called Wildcat Marine which provides personnel transfer vessels to windfarms and he asked me if I'd be interested in doing a bit more photography for him. I was very lucky with the weather and the light which was perfect for photography and I had a really great time. The guys on the 2 boats that we used looked after me really well and I'm absolutely delighted with the photos I took. Actually I'm trying to appear cool and professional about it but it was a dream assignment and I didn't stop smiling the whole time!
@Mike: Thanks for that Mike....well spotted! I've now straightened it and uploaded the amended version. It should lokk ok now?
