Nice work here, although I boycott all pictures of wind turbines due to their increasing prevalence in many bucolic scenes I had previously deemed pristine. I guess they are good for something.

This is really good. 7's across the board. Stephen's post had some good suggestions. The house doesn't bother me much, but the image would be better without the telephone mast.
While the slight star trails don't bug me, I would love to see a version with long trails. I'm not sure if you could capture a tight pinpoint version without having to put up with noise, i.e. you would probably have to push to 800 or 1600 to get a time that fully arrests star motion.
The colors in the sky and the tone of the moonlight reflecting off the turbines is just awesome. Great work!

Hi Keith,
My initial impression was "f*ck me, what a great photo!" It's really excellent and I like it a lot!!! I love the line of turbines, the way they are lit, the sky with those patterns, and the orange colour just above the horizon, all excellent!
...After looking at it a bit more, I think I've found a few possible improvements (to make the excellent photo perfect) - I wouldn't normally say anything for a photo that I like this much, but I remember seeing something you wrote in another post/forum where you were complaining about the lack of contructive comments, hence, I usually try to think of things for your photos, as opposed to just saying "f*ck me, what a great photo!" :-)
Firstly, my main suggestion for improvement in this photo would be to get rid of that telephone mast in the middle of the turbines. Either by cloning it out, or by adjusting your position so to exclude it from the composition. It's just in the way of the nice line of turbines.
I'd also like to get rid of that house on the horizon on the right - there's just enough of the house showing to make it a distraction, but too little of it to make a pretty addition, so either show more of it or none of it.
I'd have stood a few steps to the left so that the turbines don't overlap eachother - pretty much the same thing as you suggested in one of my photos: http://www.usefilm.com/image/253651.html
I agree with Jim about the star trails - either longer trails, or just points. Perhaps you could take two different photos - a long exposure, and a shorter exposure, then put the stars from the short exposure into the long one? Also, there's what appears to be a star trail in the bottom right hand corner, just below the house!? I'd clone this out.
Anyway, it's an excellent photo nonetheless, and I've given you all 7 out of 7's for the idea and what you've done. Did you read about that 'painting with light' feature in this month's Outdoor Photography magazine? ;-) If not, then there's an excellent feature there that's worth reading. I'd like to try the same myself, only my G5 only has a maximum of a 15 second shutter speed so I wouldn't have that much time in which to make it work well.
Great work Keith!
Stephen

Keith - As I mentioned, I love this and wish it was mine. 5X7! As to the stars trailing... A good rule of thumb is : to keep stars as points - keep your exposure to less than 500/focal length in seconds. Thus for your 28 mm it would be 500/28 or roughly 18 seconds. It might be less than that because your digital is using less than full 35 mm frame. If your 28 mm is acting like a 40 mm then the exposure would need to be under 12.5 seconds. This is from a book I have on astrophotography. Cheers - John

And, ah, not much wind in those 30 seconds, either! Very enterprising and, as you say, instructive. It wouldn't have occurred to me but I'm very glad it did to you... Using the torch was a really bright idea. Ahem.

Great job. Check out my "Celestial Wind". I think you'll like it. Great job with the painting of the first windmill. The lighting is great. I'd rather see the stars either pin sharp or with a good deal of motion blur, but that is my personal preference. The lighitng is spectacular. Was this cropped at all? I've heard that dSLRs have a tougher time with long exposure at or beyond 30 seconds. Did you experience this? Beautiful work.
