Heage Windmill, Derbyshire

We had an Arnold and District Camera Club visit to the village of Heage in Derbyshire tonight, to photograph the Heage windmill.

Built in 1797 and restored in 2002, Heage Windmill ia a Grade II* listed building and is the only working six-sailed stone tower windmill in England. She is set in the Derbyshire countryside, providing spectacular views towards the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.

Hope you like this edit in Rawtherapee and GIMP

Terrific capture of this wonderful windmill. Fav. Glad it is protected by law. The world has lost too many priceless heritage pieces/buildings.

Oh, what an interesting angle and PoV. 0mm? is that a fish eye lens?

@happypat thanks pat, you are right a little different to my street portraits and street photography

@granagringa madeline, it is a samyang 12,mm f2 manual lens, its wide angle not fisheye. It is awesome on my Sony A6000 , comes highly recommended with excellent reviews. It;s known as a rokinon 12mm in the US
