Renewables
Good morning, I have recently been playing with a 360 camera, here are a couple of stills that i liked from a recent trip offshore.
What do you think about renewable energy?
Share your thoughts in the comments on my instagram @lee_ramsden and explore more of my images to experience the full beauty of offshore wind farms.
Thanks

Good morning, today id like to share some images of recent courses attended.
Those who work in the renewables industry will feel my pain for attending the GWO renewal courses….again
The courses consist of -
Sea Survival
First Aid
Working at height
Manual handling
Fire fighting
These certificates are only valid for 2 years and have to be kept up to date whilst working offshore in the renewables industry.
Good morning,
Today id like to share a short video of how we access an offshore substation on a windfarm.
After a 1.5hrs CTV (crew transfer vessel) ride, it is a large ladder climb on to the platform.
Where as this may not be for everyone, I will take this, over being stuck in traffic on the M25 every single time!
Good morning, Id like to share some black and white images.
Black and white (monochrome) is a genre that i rarely shoot, but have been really enjoying it recently.
I hope that you like the following.
Good morning, here are some images taken whilst sailing through a Scottish windfarm.
Good morning, here are some images of turbines on a north sea windfarm in low light.
Morning,
Here are some images taken on my phone, capturing the transit of personnel from a jack up platform. We were flying in and out of Den Helder in the north of the Netherlands.
Good morning,
Today I wanted to share a couple of images from where I was working at height on a telecoms tower. I liked the shadows created of a couple of scaffolders walking by, unaware.
Hello, here are some images of the fog slowly creeping in, over the windfarm.
The fog approaches like a soft whisper, gradually swallowing the horizon. The wind turbines, once clear and imposing, begin to fade into the mist, their outlines becoming ghostly silhouettes
The Edda Brint, SOV (service operations vessel) adjacent to our substation.
Housing 60 persons, the 60 PAX will be made up with the ships crew and technicians who are servicing the turbines.
The Wind Cat CTV (crew transfer vessel) This vessel is our daily transport to and from shore.
As the fog thickens, the turbines seem to float in mid-air, their blades slicing through the mist with a gentle, rhythmic motion. This ethereal scene creates a stark contrast between the solid structures and the ephemeral fog.
Have you captured the beauty of fog in your photography? Share your images and comments over on Instagram @lee_ramsden

Hello,
Today I’d like to share a couple of images of the Seagreen OSP (offshore substation platform)
I always enjoy, how I can take many photos of the same subject, and with the differing skies and ever-changing weather can change the image.
Good morning,
Here are some images of guy conducting specialist rope access, to inspect and repair the coating to an offshore sub station in the North Sea.
Would you enjoy this type of work? Love to hear your thoughts over on Instagram @lee_ramsden
Thanks,

Seagreen offshore wind turbine.
The Seagreen turbines have a maximum height of up to 204m to the blade's tip with a blade diameter of 164m.
Seagreen has 114 turbines with a total generating capacity of 1,075MW. Following the first power in August 2022, the site became fully operational in October 2023. Power is exported via around 19km of underground cables from landfall at Carnoustie to a new substation at Tealing near Dundee.
I would love to hear your comments over on Instagram @lee_ramsden
Thanks

Good morning.
Images of the Wind Orca with a walk to work bridge.
The Wind Orca vessel provides a safe, efficient, and reliable solution for the installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of wind farm projects. Their advanced specifications set the industry benchmark for vessel transit speed, lifting capability, DP station keeping and jacking speed, offering a significantly improved operating weather window. They are fitted with high-quality equipment, supported by advanced preventative maintenance systems, and incorporate a significant level of operating redundancy. Safety is enhanced through a 6-leg design that allows them to operate even on sites with the most challenging seabed conditions.
Let me know what you think of these recent posts I love to hear from you on Instagram @lee_ramsden
Thanks

Happy Monday.
A couple of images from an offshore work site.
Recently i spent a week rebuilding a wind turbine. Interesting work scope seeing the guts of these great machines that line our landscapes.
Apologies for only having iPhone images.
