The Windmill

[Tigger]

I took this a little while ago and was never that pleased with the processed images.

So I reprocessed the 1st & 2nd and the 3rd I never processed as I just couldn't get what I wanted. With some new toys was able too now ..

and yes amazing how the clouds changed, only over 30mins

Re: The Windmill

Great work Ian. I love the way you have brought the detail out in clouds on the first one in particular. Effective without becoming overpower.

Glad I posted mine in landscapes!

Re: The Windmill

Re: The Windmill

All work well Ian, of 1 and 3, the first works a little better due to the odd number of windmills

Re: The Windmill

I seem to remember the first image from a previous post of yours Ian. But I could be wrong!
All three have their merits, well captured and processed. They are all worth a closer look at on Flickr. I was intrigued by the diagonal timber pole at the rear of the windmills but I still can’t decide what their purpose is. Do they allow the whole roof structure to be turned into the wind?
But the nearest one is showing a little bit of a halo in the first image where it is connected to the tripod. But don’t worry I won’t tell anyone [emoji6]

The first image I processed a few years ago Peter, you have one heck of a memory. But was never totally sold and knew I could do a better job now.

The pole is to stop the things getting blown over, although clearly not man for the recent winds as they have all been very bad destroyed by recent crazy winds

halo...."really" the amount of time that was in PS I'm surprised, but will take a look

Glad you enjoyed them

Re: The Windmill

Yes I recognise this from the past....is it that long!
I like No 1 best I think....and now an historical record too.

All good Images Ian

Well... no actually, it is the means of aiming the sails into the wind - the whole of the top of the windmill rotates - there are anchorage points in the ground to secure the lower end of it and the pole is moved by a robust winch arrangement.
