I assume you want the blades darker than the sky? Have you tried
printing for the overall scene and burning in the blades? There was
also an article in PhotoTechniques about using drafting film to create
a reusable mask that allows local exposure control rather than trying
to burn and dodge areas. If this sounds like it might work let me know
and I will try to explain in detail.
