Photographer’s Note

WIND TURBINES CREATE GREEN ENERGY

Southern Alberta is known for being very windy. There are hundreds of wind turbines in this area.

One wind farm with 38 wind turbines can produce 209,000 megawatts per hour of green electricity. This creates enough energy for 29,000 homes. Wind energy is the fastest growing form of electricity production in Canada.

You can see how huge the turbines are by comparing them to the horses at the bottom of the photo.

One negative aspect of the wind turbines is that they kill many birds.

Nice Note.

Those wind turbines generate such a different and strange landscape. I wish I could photograph one of those "Wind Turbines Crops".

The colors on your photo seemed a little washed out IMO and too full of gamma.

I also think that the Composition could be a bit better.

I made a workshop about it. Don't forget to tell me what you think about it.

C'ya.

a good composition with a couple of itmes for the photographer. I would recommend cropping the top 20% of the picture it is solid blue sky and has little or no interest to the viewer. It would have bben ice to have taken the shot from a slightly different angle so that the right hand turbine is complete. It would have been nice to have got the animals either in focus or to not have included them in the shot as they distract the viewer from the main subject.
