DEFYING THE WIND

ISO 100, f/20, 30 seconds, 24mm
  Something I haven't done in a long while is take some long exposure photographs. This afternoon, on my way home form work, I passed by this awesome windmill that is only about a 1/4 mile from my house. I placed my ND fader filter on the lens and started shooting.
  The fader filter at full strength did a fairly good job of even blocking some of the bright sunlight at 5:15. I got a 30 second exposure before the clouds started thinning out and the sun was too bright to get any longer shots.
  Entertained the idea of processing this as a black and white but when I saw the green leaves being struck by the light and glowing a bit I knew that leaving it in color was the way to go.

    I like it! The motion in the clouds fits well with the windmill as one of the key elements in the image.
