An HDR of 'Gulliver' the name given to the (currently) tallest Wind Turbine in the UK. It's situated at Ness Point, the most Easterly point in the UK; a very windy spot, and was just within limits of being able to fly safely today I think.

Thank you, not as impressive as the field you recently photographed with the turbines; many of ours are off shore, so need to be on a boat to visit them all!

Thanks for the compliment and how interesting all of yours are offshore.

Nice shot.
The HDR effect did cause some ghosting at the wings....
What software did you use for the merge?

Morning, LightRoom for the merge. In hindsight, I don’t think it needed the hdr treatment, the single shot is almost as effective and didn’t blur the wings.
Quite a beast of a machine when you get up close to it.

Morning!
Strange, LR should have a anti ghosting option when merging to HDR.
But indeed, the dynamic range is not that large that you really need one.
And very true! Amazing structures

Ah, thanks, am a newbie to LR & PS, so probably a setting somewhere - though I need to go back at 5am to get it a sunrise!

Thank you, they claim  2.75MW of electricity and claim "enough to supply over 1500 homes and will save in excess of 6000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year." Am guessing it's like a car company claiming the amount of mpg you can expect? It sure is a beast of a machine though.

Thanks, interesting data, claims or not...
Much like the claims of how far, fast and how long our nice drones can fly............
