I'm showing a series of photos for the next week or so that I took for a fantastic UK company called 'Wildcat Marine' who specialise in providing personnel transfer vessels to windfarms and other offshore operations.
The photos were taken at an offshore windfarm in the Irish Sea off Barrow in NW England.
It's difficult to get a real idea of the vast scale of these turbines - they are 3MW generating capacity and about 120 meters tall (quite a bit taller than Big Ben on the Houses of Parliament in London)
The boat that is docked up against the turbine is Wildcat Marine's purpose designed 11m long catamaran.
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
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to my website Ian Bramham - Fine Art Photography where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.
@Mike: Mike, it's literally only in the last 3 or 4 months that photographic composition has become an instinctive thing for me so I'm not yet at the point where I'm thinking about leaving space for print etc :-). Maybe that will come in time with more practice. At the moment I'm just happy enough that basic good composition has become instinctive enough so that I was freer on this series to concentrate on the technical side of things like making sure my shutter speed was high enough (I'd never photographed one moving boat from another moving boat before!) Good luck with the album cover....it sounds really exciting!
