Challenge: Wind (Basic Editing II)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Kyle, Texas
Date: Dec 11, 2004
Aperture: f25
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/40
Galleries: Rural
Date Uploaded: Dec 13, 2004

 Caught this driving back from San Marcos to Austin. Unfortunately, I didn't have a tripod, so I didn't have much luck in capturing the motion of the blades without the camera shake. I actually had many better shots from further away, but unfortunately, the spinning blades weren't as prominent, so I had to make a compromise choice in order to stay with the challenge theme. Hue/Sat, Levels, USM

The blur really makes this look like the wind. Good job, 7

yes on of the better shots in this challenge i like the blurry fan and the crisp in focus rest of the photo with a blue sky i have to say that the shadows take away from the overall photo- good luck-10

Great shot. The rock-steady stillness and crisp focus of the wooden frame really enhances the movement of the blades. Great point of view. Fascinating shot

Nice framing for a high-contrast shot. Slightly longer exposure might have been interesting too, but this does convey the topic.

Finally, a windmill that shows some motion from the wind.... an 8.

You capture the wind concept pretty well, just the light is too hard

This is a good idea for the challenge, blur is appropriate. The rest of the image is sharp, but this angle doesnt really do anything for me. 7.
