ver the course of four days, I photographed this power generating plant just south of Omaha on several occasions under different lighting conditions. This was one of the last images I made of this subject, using a 50mm lens and two neutral density filters, establishing a long exposure at high noon. The body of water is the Missouri river which was flowing rapidly due to spring run-off. It is interesting to contemplate our current energy solutions in light of an acceleration of the global energy crisis. These critical problems represent an easily foreseeable predicament humankind collectively decided to ignore.
Although it is claimed that digital sensors have no reciprocity failure, I usually get odd color shifts when using this capture technique. It could be that my filters are not really truly neutral, but have a slight color bias that is accentuated by the demosaicing algorithms.
