Whissendine Windmill Sail

Another for Flash of Red February.

Another from our trip out to Rutland on Saturday with Carole; this is Whissendine Windmill (Carole’s family hail from this village). We were invited in by the owner and spent more than an hour with him chatting about the old days and the old ways. This picture is taken from outside, on the ledge, half way up the mill as the sails were turning.

I left with 1.5kg of whole flour and will make a loaf or two this coming weekend (if I get home with the forecasted weather)

Nice one, I like the inclusion of the village below the sail. Bread making is so therapeutic, I love it!

Very nice PoV with the huge sail and the village below.

@paul10 Seriously SOOC mate

[M. Brutus]

Love this photo. The surreal feeling it. I’m happy to say I guess what it was. But never would have guessed that Carole was a Whissendine girl! I think it is YOU who should be giving those people gifts!!! ;-)

[Paul]

@phil_sandford. Crap processing then mate 😀 I just figured you'd shot in raw color and converted it to b&w. Do you shoot in jpeg?

[Anita Campbell]

What a great shot. Surely different than the usual windmill shots. Very creative thinking.

[Phil Sandford]

@paul10 Yes buddy. Shoot in jpg. Nowhere near good enough for raw. Set Camera to monochrome and play with exposure to get te contrast I want .......

[Richard Brown]

Nice composition and shot. I drive by there most weeks and still haven't visited!

[Milanie]

Neat idea for composing this shot.

[Valerie Chesney]

Great idea, well captured.

[Paul]

@phil_sandford. Well it's a lovely shot mate. And I'm sure your photography skills are more than good enough for a little raw dabbling if and whenever you're ready ☺☺

[Phil Sandford]

@paul10 Thanks matey.
