Several cameras were used for the images of April 2005, some were scanned from 35mm negatives.
The photos of August 2007 were taken using a Canon PowerShot S2 IS 5MP digital camera.
I've recorded the cameras used for the more recent photos against the images.

I visited Wattle Point WF again on 2020/09/07 with the replacement for my Phantom drone, a DJI Mavic Mini, but it was too windy for drone flight.

Moon and wind turbine
There is a short period in the morning and evening when the daylight on a turbine is bright enough - and the Moon is bright enough - to get an acceptable image of both. Taken August 2007 |

Another line-up of turbines
A technique called 'high dynamic range' (HDR) photography, using a
combination of three images, each exposed at different levels, allows a
more 'correct' exposure of parts of the view that have highly differing
illumination levels.
In this view the shadows were very dark and the sky near the horizon
was very bright.

The use of a wide angle lens gives an interesting perspective, and the
light is nice.

All the turbines are the same colour, the weak, low, sunlight is catching the middle distance towers. Taken August 2007
