It's not a "windmill" - they mill nothing. It's a turbine powered by wind. There's a large batch of them off the Norfolk shoreline. I like them.

I'd suggest you look up the definition of a word next time before you go off like that. I've attached the definition for your convenience. As you can see, listed as an alternate definition is "a similar structure used to generate electricity or draw water." In this case, this windmill is being used to generate electricity.

i have a question for all the photographers on here

how many of you edit the photos you take to make it look better ie contrast, light, apeture, etc and what software does it for you to achieve it?

I'm new to photography but I told myself I wouldn't ever post-edit because I wouldn't take it seriously enough. Right. Now I've figured out post-editing will be a big part of my hobby for different reasons. First, because I'm starting new, a lot of my shots are crap. Overexposed, underexposed, point of reference, etc. I bought Photoshop Elements and a guide book and have found out many in-depth ways to fix these errors. Also, I have yet to buy filters for my camera and Elements lets me adjust the picture somewhat as if there were a filter used originally. Soon I plan on buying these things but that will be over time. And lastly, HDR is really appealing to me and whenever I spend some time taking pictures I will take a few specifically for HDR use. The results can be absolutely breathtaking but I am no where near good with it yet.

In short, for the beginner, photo editing software is a God-send! LOL. I use iPhoto to keep a library of my pictures and then Elements to edit.

thats good to know any more people out there?

also how much editing do you do on a picture etc in either time or adjustments

I'm pretty sure everyone here does.

Time: My standard adjustments take a minute, if that, but for my best ones, i start to use plug ins, other software etc so that can be around 5-10 minutes.
