Here is the new Romney Marsh wind farm as seen from Rye Harbor just across from Camber Sands.

Hi


That's a good shot indeed. I've been searching for a decent photo of the wind farm. Do you have a colour version you could add on here please? (Just for me to have a look at, not use or anything).

Thanks (I used to live near there).

A great photograph. I'd heard about this from a friend who drove past recently and had thought about heading down for some photographs. Looks like an interesting location so will definitely try for a trip soon.
 
I like it but there just isn't enough wind farm on show, most of the turbines are just poking up above the sandbank. To make them more of a powerfull subject I think you need to find a better angle.

I also agree there are probably some more powerful locations that could be found and with the help of a wide angle those turbines could look very different.

However one of the things I like about this particular shot is that they are there but not in your face. In a way I imagine this would make a good advert for the power company as it shows that these turbines can be installed without ruining a landscape.

I am very much in support of natural power solutions and while I do see problems with their impact on the landscape, this demonstrates how with proper planning they can be installed fairly discreatly. That said I guess from other places around the around they may not be so subtle!

Thanks for the comments I like the perspective from this location, I think it suits the comp and shot from here. I will be searching out additional location where I will make the turbines the main focal point of the image.

Hi Nigel

Thanks for posting the colour version, its stunning. (y)

Is the farm situated in Camber? I was in the area last May and we drove around Camber on the way back from Rye and they wern't there then. They must have put them up really quickly.:eek:

Have you got any shots of Sandgate? I used to love the view of the sea when I was on my way home from Folkestone to Romney Marsh (going downhill, and you just see all that sea glistening in the sun). I did a couple of shots last year but they were rubbish. I do love Sandgate.

Hi Lisa

They did go up rather rapid, they are actually on the Romney Marsh, not far from Camber.

I have images from Folkestone all the way to Rye I will have a dig in the library and see what I can dig up.

I didn't know such a wind farm existed in that area. Perhaps I will take a drive one day and do one for my '365 (today would be the perfect day to do it but I've got a lousy headache as I type).
Looking forward to seeing your Folkestone shots, speaking as a local lad myself. :)
And regarding your picture, I'd say it's a very neat shot where you did a good job in encompassing the lot in one go.

Thanks for the comments I will dig through the library this week and will post a set early next week.
