Fiddlers Ferry coal fired power station in Merseyside and a field of barley.
This is a 5 minute long exposure using 16 stops of nd filter on my Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens.
It was a windy stormy day so you can see the movement in the clouds and in the branches of the trees but I deliberately set up the tripod in the shelter of that hedge to my left where I knew the barley would be partly protected from the wind as I wanted to restrict the movement blur in that area.
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

@Arconte: Thanks....I managed to find this spot near that hedge on the left side of the photo where it was sheltered from the wind coming from that direction. I deliberately set up the tripod there as I didn't want too much blur in the stalks of barley. The odd gust of wind moving them occasionally during the 5 minute exposure didn't register too much as blur because the stalks are springy and return to their natural position.
