It seems that I’ve been chasing windmills lately. I went out last night for a sunset photo shoot and ended up around the wind farm east of Delavan. There wasn’t any wind at the time, so all of the windmills were parked. I was able to get a sharp image of the blades even though I was using a long exposure. Normally, when you use a long exposure, the blades become so blurred that you can’t see them. These two windmills were positioned perfectly with the near one parked head-on and the more distant on sitting in profile.
Twilight is one of my favorite times for photography. This photo was taken about 20 minutes after sunset during the civil twilight period. The orange glow on the horizon and the sky fading from light to dark blue is completely natural. In fact, this is one of those rare photos that seemed to just fall out of the camera ready to print.
