Away

When I was in art school, I had a several instructors that were not affraid of breaking or cutting your work apart.  This was a valuable lesson to me.  Often those professors would hand the severed piece back to the student with the quote "this part is very good, do more like this and less like that".  What I took from this, was if the idea you are chasing doesn't manifest, you may have to abandon it in favour of something better.  In this case, I was chasing that huge moon, but clouds and serious wind weren't going to let me catch that idea.  This combined with my frenetic response to shooting with other people around gave the night a very charged ambiance. After a couple of test shots, this idea popped in my head.  {single exposure, ISO200, f/8, 30sec - if you can barely see the red-orange in the lower frame your screen is too dark, if you cannot see thin line of the spinning windmill it may be too bright, about midway seems just right on my screen}
