Mill wheel

It was National Mills Weekend in the UK last weekend and a lot of our historic mills, both wind and water driven, were opened to the public.
There are three windmills and two watermills within reasonable travelling distance of our house and we'd intended to go to a watermill in High Wycombe but circumstances changed and we went to Ford End Mill instead.

Next year, if circumstances permit, I'd like to try and get to all five mills and make a montage of shots from them.

Nice blurring of the water on that mill Alison.... sounds like an interesting and fun day!

[Kazzy]

You are getting around to some interesting places! Love your composition and the water looks great!

[Chris]

They are wonderful machines and make great photographic subject - super capture. Like the choice of speed blur.

[Rachel Withey]

The blur looks great

[Myrna O'Hara]

Certainly never knew there was a National Mills weekend anywhere in the world. Thanks for the info.

I'm a sucker for a good mill shot. We don't have very many left in working order.

[Cathy Donohoue]

I really like how you cropped this. Good job.

[Jean Tookey]

Great shot. You have really caught the movement of the wheel and water.

[carol white]

Beautifully captured movement of the wheel and flowing water!!

[Jennifer C]

Wonderful that there is a Mills weekend and that the mills are still functioning, how interesting

[Al Bailey]

Lovely shot .... I like the movement of the water :)

[Lisa Stein]

Wonderful shot! Love how you captured the movement of the wheel and the water. I love your collage idea.

[Jen Hudson]

Fab capture of the water flow. Superb composition.The information and picture of the ford barn was thoughtful. That would be fab to get to all the mills on the day and make the montage, and just to see them all.

I really like this shot - the blurring is perfect. I love the brick coloring behind the wheel and the water inside it. You've done a nice job with this one to make it a little different.

Looks refreshing! Love the movement!

This is lovely Alison

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture. Love the motion.

[Cindy Muir]

Nice water / motion capture, Alison!

[Matt Clendon]

You do love your water mill wheels and of course, windmills. I think mills may be the connection.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@sabresun I think it's more to do with the revolution of sails and wheels - all that circular motion and the rhythms - probably the rhythms ; it's music.

This is a great movement shot
