Great set, I particularily like the wind farm images.

The ideas are good, the subject matter is spot on, the pictures are eye-catching.
And definitely worthwhile experimenting at the wind farm. The effect you've achieved with the turbine blades is striking IMHO. And the Morse code star trails have grown on me. At first viewing, I thought it would be better if the stars were single points of light. Now, after coming back to the pictures several times, the broken trails seem to complement the turbine blades - something to do with motion. PIty that the dots and dashes aren't in line - slight camera movement between shots? And aircraft movements at night within a photographer's field of view should be banned. You'll have to go back and do it again . Incidentally, I prefer the stacked version, the HDR version is way too bright for my tastes.

Ha! Morse Code, idea ... you could time the star trail exposures to spell out messages.

The stars are on an arc because of the rotation of the planet.... bugger all i can do about it!!!

It isn't the arc itself that niggles (yeah, can't do anything about that), but within each arc of dots and dashes there are a couple of dots that don't line up with the others. Camera movement between shots? A quirk of the alignment algorithm in the stacking software? Or perhaps the earth had a wobble in its rotation??

Ahhhhh i get you!!!! That's where the tripod must have moved....
I was experimenting more with the idea to see if it worked. I have been out again this evening...
Will post results later!

It's so good to experiment, isn't it? That you share is an added bonus. Thanks.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

Oh hell yes!
I believe that there are rules in photography... our imagination should drive it!

I am not entirely sure the experiment was a success
I was playing with different exposures, merged to HDR and then same images stacked....
Stacked
