Offshore Substation

in ,

This offshore substation isn’t just infrastructure — it’s a hub of scale, engineering, and the environment. These images show parts of its structure, deck, and setting offshore, captured during site conditions that mix light, metal, and sea.

Today I’m sharing a collection of images from that substation. The steel beams, walkways, cable trays, and platforms are framed against open sky and occasionally shifting light. There’s contrast in the work-worn surfaces, in the reflections, in the human scale where people or fittings show just how large these structures are.

This shoot adds to my ongoing series on offshore industrial installations. If you’re interested in renewables, structural photography, or commissioning work in wind infrastructure, check the wind industry section of my portfolio.

Great Orton Wind Farm — Onshore Drone & Renewables Photography

in ,

Great Orton Wind Farm, in Wigton near Carlisle, shows the power of clean energy set against the rural English landscape. These six turbines stand tall at 45 m to the hub (68.5 m to blade tip), and today’s drone shots aim to show not just their scale, but how they sit in place relative to the field, sky, and horizon.

Flying above, I captured compositions where turbine towers puncture the skyline, blades silent but implied in motion. The open land around means little to interfere — just farm tracks, walls, and the occasional tree. Light at this time of day softens the metal surfaces, casts long shadows, and gives contrast between turbine steel and landscape texture.

My ongoing renewables and industrial photography seeks moments where engineering and environment combine. For more drone work in landscapes like this, check out my Drone and Wind Industry galleries.
