Wind is invisible, you may only really feel it when it touches you and you can see it when it touches the grass, the timber, the water and the clouds. It makes the mills go round and it permits the birds to fly. Typically it roars when wind turns into a storm. People as well as animals use the wind for transportation and folks use the wind to generate electricity and plenty of more issues.

Wind may be stunning and wind may be terrible when it turns into a hurricane or tornado. We all know the way destructive the wind might be. We do not have hurricanes and tornados in my country however we do have small whirlwinds occasionally.

I am not an expert photographer and i don’t know much about the technical stuff like shutterspeed and aperture, but that doesn’t stop me from catching nature’s beauty with my camera. My dad was an artist and he taught me to look beyond the plain and find out how to make compositions.

In this artical I want to point out you ways easy it actually is to photograph the wind, meaning the results of the wind.

Clouds within the Wind

I like the Wind and Where I Stay There’s Wind Most of the time.My nation (the Netherlands) is slightly flat and where I dwell I can look straight to the horizon within the front of our outdated farmhouse. We see 1/3 of land and 2/3 of sky, the proper photographic composing rule. Some would possibly suppose that the sky is dull, however it’s far from dull. It is changing shade and kind each minute of the day. The wind adds to these ever altering varieties in nature.

Do you remember the occasions whenever you lied down within the grass trying up to the sky and tried to discover animals or other identified types within the clouds?

The photographs of the clouds below are all taken in entrance of my house.

Wind Bending Trees

The power of the wind is just incredibly strong. In my space which is near the North Sea there’s wind most of the time and very often it comes as a storm from the South West or the North West. Lots of the country roads are bordered with timber like Canadian poplars, elms and buttonballs. They catch numerous wind and growing up they might develop crooked as you’ll be able to see in the photographs under.

I Requested the Wind

I requested the wind"What makes you modify your temper so fast"He hesitated, however answered me ultimately:

I may be gentle,like a lover’s velvet kiss,once i contact lips a second lengthy.I might be teasing,when i let hair tickle your nose,or sensible,when in empty bottles, I sing my song.

I journey all over the world,which can solely take a day.I am generally heat,in other moments cold.I either breeze a seaside in solar,or rage through tree crowns bold.

However I noticed that persons are laborious to please,which way I blow, I never seem to get it proper.So I made up my thoughts, long time in the pastand I’ll blow as I see fit.Be it a storm for days,or a mushy breeze just for the night time.

You Can’t Control the Wind, however You can use the Wind to Your own Benefit

Generally we do not like the wind, especially when it is turning into a raging storm. We all know concerning the devastating tornadoes, no need to indicate you photos of those, we all know what they can do and yow will discover them on the internet everywhere. Nevertheless there are so many different things we rely for on the wind and without wind they can’t carry out. I am speaking about crusing boats, windmills, gliding airplanes, all birds, grasp gliders, wind surfers, kites and I am certain I am forgetting some.

People Trip the Wind

Do You just like the Wind?

Sure, up to a certain level

Nah, I hate Wind

Wind causes too much harm

Riding the Wind within the Wrong Manner

It is not What You Think It is

It appears quite actual, does not it? However no, it isn’t what you assume it’s, or is it?, I can guarantee you, no one obtained hurt. At the seashore in Zandvoort there’s this seaside house restaurant and subsequent to it they have put this little airplane on poles. Because the seashore is a lot lower than the road above, it simply seems like the airplane crashed into the dunes. I took this photograph from a sure angle.

Animals Use the Wind

Even the spiders are taking advantage of the wind to get from one place to the other as you possibly can see within the photograph above. They only spin a long thread and then they drift on the wind until they hit one other spot and that may be fairly a distance typically. Spiders journey without a plan so to talk, they settle where the wind will take them.

The Fascination of Flying by Manpower

There was this wealthy English industrialist Henry Kremer who was fairly in for adventures and challenges. In 1959 he established a prize for the first one who could fly a determine eight over a certain distance in a human powered airplane.

It was aircraft designer Paul MacCready who, after 20 years of examine and trials, succeeded to satisfy that challenge by flying the sure distance (together with a turn) with a man powered airplane, which he had named the Gossamer Condor.

This big success happened on August 23, 1977 and that’s why August 23 was declared Experience the Wind Day. The prize was about 50.000 pounds ($85.000). Two years later in 1979 this Paul MacCready won the Kremer Prize again, by crossing the Channel between England and France in one other human powered airplane which he called the Gossamer Albatross.

The Gossamer Condor is now displayed within the Smithsonian Establishment’s National Air and House Museum and the Gossamer AlbatrossII (the backup plane) is displayed within the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

The Flight of the Gossamer Condor has been filmed by Ben Shedd and his crew from start to finish.

The Kremer Prize Problem Goes On

I’m wondering How many Extra Brave Males/Women Will Journey the Wind

The Kremer prize did not end with the flights of the Gossamer Condor (prize: 50.000 pounds) which flew the primary human powered mile long figure eight course and the Gossamer Albatross (prize: 100.000 pounds), the primary human powered airplane which crossed the English Channel.

Since then one other Kremer Prize (20.000 pounds) has been awarded to a design workforce of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They flew their MIT Monarch B craft on a triangular 1.5 km (0.Ninety three mi) course underneath three minutes.

And it is not over yet. Three Kremer Prizes are ready on their rightful winners (total of 150.000 pounds)

* 26 mile Marathon course in underneath an hour (£50,000),

* Sporting aircraft challenge stressing maneuverability (£100,000),

* Local challenge that is proscribed to youth teams (under 18 years) in the UK.

So if you feel as much as it, take your likelihood to put in writing History.

When my son was 12 he tried to make a hold glider-he would love this page, I am going to must ahead it to him!!

Simply stunning, a lovely lens concerning the wind! Highlighting Guidelines for the Perfect Glow may be so peaceful sometimes..especially when summer time is turning into fall, or spring is turning into summer season.

Wow, stunning lens! I really like your ethos of letting your photographs alone. I feel folks overdo the editing thing now and often break a perfectly good photograph which captured the essence the photographer noticed in the primary place! So good for you!
