Of all the photographs I took at the wind farm (and you'll see many of them in the slideshow), this is the one that excited me most. It was a breathtaking "up close" experience, as I stood almost directly under a turbine and felt the wind it generated like a giant fan as it turned in the natural wind, and was startled at how much noise (at a relatively high frequency) was being generated. I am not surprised most of the birdlife and native fauna in the area have disappeared. It is estimated up to a dozen wedge tailed eagles are killed by these turbines each year.
They are powerful machines. And that is evident in this photograph which bears the title that reflects what's going on. In the same way that aircraft wings must flex in order to avoid catastrophic failure through excessive shaking, so these blades will bend in the wind to some degree. That's exactly what we see here with the blade nearest to me. It fills the frame perfectly, and that's without a crop.
Each of these turbines are built to aircraft specifications by Vesta, a Danish company specialising in wind power. They are Vestas V90/3000 (power 3 000 kW, diameter 90 m) Generating 168 MW.

This was one of my best and most enjoyable shoots ever. Shari (Sharihan) stood out in Idaho - she has an Iraqi/Egyptian mix, she's very intelligent,educated, exotic, and she intimidated me at first. Once we started shooting things were fine. We ended up doing a marathon shoot so it was hard to narrow the number of photos down. I wanted to have more shoots with Shari but she ended up going back to SoCal - what a bummer!
I took these photos in May 2019 in Boise, Idaho.
The 3D pop of this 55mm Auto Flex lens is pretty amazing. It works well on cosmos flowers because of the plant's airy leaves.
Built for the Brickset Mixels Series 2 Competition using parts from 41515, 41516, and 41517.

The Petri Flex 7 was introduced in 1964 and has more than a passing resemblance to the Zeiss Ikon Contarex "Bullseye" camera.
It's claimed to be the world’s first SLR with a fully integrated cadmium sulfide light meter.
This link has some useful information on the camera:

I've been trying out a variety of Petri lenses in M42 and Petri breech-lock mounts. This one has a Petri mount, and is relatively unusual as it has a silver body.
