Wow, those windmills look to be turning rather quickly. Around here they go at about 2 RPM.

They are turning REAL SLOW (typical speed), that is a 1 second exposure at f22 with a Variable-Neutral Density filter on max around 4:30 PM.
Basically a TIME EXPOSURE

Umm... yeah. Exactly what I was thinking, only I guessed 5:15.
If taking a picture involves more than pressing the little button on top, I'm pretty dumb about it. Although, I did figure out a trick with a Kleenex to keep a bright spot out of close-ups.

Working in a coal and gas fired plant outage. First power plant job I have been on. Super for our company and I were walking a job one morning and he said it looks like a batman movie in the place.
I think he is right. Steam, darkness,and industrial decay everywhere.
Did a bunch of photography in the late 80's, would love to be able to take a good camera in the plant. Lots of cool shots available. Bet I would get escorted off in a hurry though.
