Scroby Sands Powering the Sky

Scroby Sands wind farm under a predawn sky as seen from Caister beach in Norfolk.

 

One of the challenges of photographing an off shore wind farm, like Scroby Sands, is that all though the turbines are enormous, they stand about a mile and a half out to sea. This makes it difficult to balance the scale of the wind farm with the much smaller scale of foreground features on the beach.

 

This shot isn't ideally balanced since the turbines are a little too small. But it needed a wider angle in order take in the parts of the sky that were picking up the colour of the sunrise.
