Almost two years to the day, I have photographed a pair of flow batteries for the house. Although I took something I was reasonably happy with, in the back of my mind I just wasn't fully satisfied.
In the ensuing two years the batteries have been moved very slightly to accommodate a heat pump compressor in-between, and the two boxes that hold the inverters and other stuff that make it possible to run the house almost completely from solar generation; have been removed from the house wall and placed onto a free standing powder coated aluminium frame.
In the first picture I used my 90mm lens, which was the lens that allowed me freedom to choose my position. In the latest picture taken a couple of days ago, I used my 250mm lens which was only able to be used in one position and then it was a very tight squeeze in-between the foliage and fences.
I also decided to use a deep orange filter to show colour differences more effectively, which I thought may enhance the image slightly better. I certainly think the second picture, with the use of hindsight from the first picture, is streets ahead.

This is the new picture which is the same film and developer combination, same camera, but different lens and a filter added, the film, while from another box, is from the same batch number. Both were taken approximately the same time of the day, early to mid afternoon.
This is the first picture from two years ago.
Edit: this is the first one. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1545
