Solar Farms in the Desert: Rows of Mirrors and Towers

A solar field in the desert, over 2 km in diameter, with tens of thousands of rectangular heliostats arranged in concentric circles. Each heliostat rotates independently to track the sun, so the entire array presents continuously changing angles at any given moment. All mirrors reflect light to the top of a central 250-meter-high white receiver tower, which emits an extremely bright white light due to the focus, difficult to look at directly with the naked eye. The ground is original sand and gravel, with no paving. Shot in the early morning, with a thin mist in the air, allowing the reflected light paths to be seen. Avoid: heliostats arranged in a grid, mirrors at a uniform angle, tower top not glowing, ground made of hard paving.

沙漠中一片直徑超過 2 公里的太陽能場,數萬面矩形的定日鏡以同心圓的方式排列,每一面都獨立轉動追蹤太陽,因此整片鏡列在同一時刻呈現連續變化的角度。所有的鏡子把光反射到中央一座高 250 公尺的白色集熱塔頂端,塔頂因為聚焦而發出極亮的白光,肉眼難以直視。地面是原始的沙與礫石,沒有做任何鋪面。清晨拍攝,空氣中有薄霧,可以看見反射的光路。避免:鏡列排成方格網、鏡面角度一致、塔頂不發光、地面做成硬質鋪面。
