Wim van der Geest about Wind turbine in the rain

I made this photo of the wind turbine early in the evening a few days before Christmas. Together with my colleagues I visited the turbine. We were there not for no reason, no, we designed and build this turbine. The visit was special for another reason because it was the first time it produced power to the grid. I wanted to make a photo of my colleagues at the base of the turbine. As it was almost dark, I had to use the flash. I did not bring my off camera flash, so I had to use the build-in flash. To test the range, I made a trial photo. I looked at the screen and I saw spots on the screen. I thought it was rain on the lens, so I cleaned the lens and I made another photo and the result was the same. Then I realised that the flash had lightened the drops of rain which came visible as licht rounds. An unexpected but special effect.
Some background information on the turbine. This turbine has a power rate of just over 6MegaWatt and has a 2-bladed rotor. The main shaft is at about 105 meter above the ground level. This turbine hasn't have a tubular tower, but a 3 legged truss tower. The turbine stands in Eemshaven in Groningen, the Netherlands.
You will find Wind turbine in the rain in the collections Drops, Eemshaven, Flash (photography), Groningen (province), Mills, Mirror image, Photography, Rain, Urban / Street, Wind turbine, Wind power and Wind power in the European Union.

Al sinds de middelbare school (en dat is al een heel tijdje geleden) fotografeer ik. Met mijn krantenwijk een spiegelreflex camera en lenzen aangeschaft. Ook ontwikkelen en afdrukken van de foto's deed ik zelf. Iets wat tegenwoordig bijna niet meer voorkomt.
Getrouwd en kinderen gekregen. Fotograferen werd toen "kiekjes maken". Na vele jaren kiekjes gemaakt te hebben een hele eenvoudige digitale camera gekocht. Gelijk weer verslingerd geraakt aan het fotograferen. Die eenvoudige camera maakte plaats voor een camera met wat meer mogelijkheden. Enkele van die foto's eens op een forum gezet en daar kwamen reacties op. Niet altijd positief, maar wel opbouwend. Veel van geleerd.
Ook die camera heeft plaats moeten maken en nu fotografeer ik (weer) met een spiegelreflex camera. Veel foto's maak ik van (pop)concerten waar ik erg veel plezier aan beleef. Een combinatie van een avondje muziek luisteren en fotograferen. Het kan haast niet beter.
