I went out last night to a favorite area of mine to capture some night shots. I posted a photo a while back of the same windmill but I took a different approach to it this time. I am finding that I am doing this alot more lately, revisiting places I have already shot. It gives me a chance to experiment a bit more because I already have a serviceable shot of the subject. Please tell me what you think

Nice one Dan!
Though, if your title is "The Wind..." - shouldn't the windmill be spinning a bit? I think that would be a nice touch.

Hey Dan,

This is a good looking shot, the title does work with the star streaks. John brings up an interesting suggestion that I hadn't thought about, and that is how awesome it would be if the blades on the windmill had some motion. Not sure how you would accomplish that, but yeah, that would really be sweet!

I like the shot and the idea about motion.
The image is very large on my monitor.

I am pretty sure that this windmill gave up the ghost a long time ago. I could climb up there with a can of WD40 but I think it would be unsafe. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Just make sure you don't spray into the wind!

Ah, guess I should not have assumed it was a working windmill!
Nice shot still!

Ha ha... Dan I wasn't suggesting or thinking you were going to climb the windmill. I was thinking more on what kind of Photoshop magic could add some motion blur to the blades.

Star trails are cool.....
The windmill seems to need something....did you happen to do any 'light painting' while you were there?

Make an eliptical selection of the blades and add some radial blur? Would probably just look fake though...
I like the shot.
