Solar Impulse, a solar aircraft is currently on the way to San Francisco and will soon fly over the Golden Gate Bridge. We plan to go to San Francisco to see the spectacle. You find info at www.solarimpulse.com
Three years ago, the two pilots came to NASA Ames Moffett Field with the first generation of solar aircraft. This photo is from the lecture they gave at NASA Ames on April 26, 2013.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from one exposure.

A statue of a man on a pinnacle reaching for the sky. I saw this image while walking the streets of Laoag, the Philippines in the Ilocos Province. How would you title this image?

Last week we stayed at Tonopah, Nevada. North-west of the town is a 110 megawatt solar thermal power plant called Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. It will start operating later this year. The anticipated to cost is a bit less than $1 billion. At the bottom you see the reflection on the panels that mirror the sunlight to a large tower to heat liquid salt, which is used to generate electricity.
This solar power plant can operate 24/7 - hot salt in a big tank stores energy for use at night. A truly large-scale project. An overview video explains it.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure. I actually took three bracketed exposures, but decided to use just the underexposed one to get these deep colors.

Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland, took off on Monday morning at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
Founders and pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg first addressed the press. Their vision is future with clean energy. André climbed into the cockpit for this leg to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight took 16 hours. After takeoff I I met Bertrand Piccard in person, what an honor!

Crow Point Lighthouse was built as an unmanned structure in 1954 as a guide to vessels navigating the Taw and Torridge estuary in North Devon.The lighthouse is a small tubular steel structure with the light just 7.6 metres above Mean High Water.Originally powered by acetylene gas Crow Point Lighthouse was converted to electrical operation in 1978, and then solar power operation in 1987.The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.

The Aire Valley was once the north's power house, with its 8,000MW of coal fired power stations and Big K - Kellingley colliery. Now, 2 out of 3 power stations are shut, along with Big K and Drax burns mostly biomass. 66057 is crossing the Aire and Calder navigation with the 10:15 Immingham - Drax biomass working. Passing the colliery site, which over the years loaded the coal into barges to transport it to Ferrybridge power station along the Aire and Calder.
Architect Shahid Syeed Khan’s 10 rooftop solar panels and single wind turbine generate five kilowatts of electricity, enough to run a computer, TV, eight fans, and forty light bulbs.
We caught this from atop Palo Duro canyon, Texas. My Nikon was equipped with a solar filter on a 750mm effective telephoto lens. An unbelievable sight!

The sun partially blocked by a few metal arms of an eletricity transmission tower provided a shot that bodes well with a solar power theme.
This was taken just outside Chelmsford, Essex on a wintry evening. I thought I was the only one out there, but ironically when we had a club competition, I entered this into the print comp and another member entered into the DPI with the same title.
ODC. Electricity. Solar power provides only .4% of the electricity in the United States. Some sources predict it could be the world's top source of electricity by 2050.
There was just something about the momentary cloud formation in conjunction the the solar farm that made me reach for my camera.

NO GROUP BANNERS. Thanks.
A bit of a throwaway shot today as it's been a really busy day and I've not really had time to get out and so any photography and I've run out of steam now!
I put up an Ikea shelving system for the garden today...so you'll forgive my tiredness ;-) Actually, after a bit of a false start it went up pretty well and Debbie then filled it up with all the empty pots and bits and pieces that have been littering the garden. She also put up these solar powered lanterns which are there to help me with seeing what I'm doing in the bin area as it gets quite dark in the garden during the winter evenings.
It also gave me the chance to start practising the Nick Carver Precision Method for metering exposure settings...more for when using film cameras, but perfectly acceptable to use on digital cameras as well, as I did here with the Sony A6000. I set the camera exposure to meter the lanterns tones at between Medium Light and Very Light and got this excellent exposure...so it definitely works...and I'm not even close to half way through the course yet!
