Summary

[edit]
Description

Backlighting

The Encina Power Plant located in Carlsbad, California is operated by San Diego Gas & Electric Co. The coastal site has the advantage of proximity to water for cooling and nearby natural gas availability.

The main structure is 200 feet high and was built in 1953. The smokestack was increased to 400 feet in the 1970s to more widely disperse plant emissions.

Carlsbad receives about $600,000 in taxes yearly from the Encina plant with an assessed value of $300 million.

Camera: Nikon D700 Lens: 50 mm Date taken: 2012-06-24 ISO: 200 Shutter speed: 1/250 s Aperture: F 8 Exposure Bias: +2 EV

Note: D700 probably needs a firmware update as it is assigning the folder creation date instead of the actual date to the photo. I actually just got back from taking the photo this evening. I've also turned off the, set time with GPS option, to see if that helps. Note that the GPS date stamp is correct (though probably set for GMT).
