Texas Windmill

Hey all. I took this at my wife's grandparent's house one day. It was pretty windy but my timing wasn't all that great. My only option was to shoot back-lit which meant I had to fire the flash to get the windmill exposed well, and that caused some grief with the spinning blades.

C&C wanted. Thanks.

I like to see the blades in motion on wind mills! I like it. Can you crop out the power lines going across the top?

I'd clone out those power or phone lines.
The motion of the wheel itself looks good, funny how you can see clear through only the top part weird how that works.

Good job on the fill flash too ..... Skippy

Thanks for the compliment. I agree about the power lines. As per seeing through the top part but not the bottom there's no magic there. The blades are angled, of course, and in the bottom they are angled with a face toward me, but up top they angle with an edge toward me.
