"Spinning Wheel"

riding around the countryside on the bike and facing a pretty strong head wind...came across this windmill going flat out and was happy to get this spinning shot .... headed back home...with a nice tail wind...of course

ive decided this year to get out of auto mode on the camera so since 1st jan all my shots are in M or Av ..not as easy as good old auto and I hope I eventually get used to it...cheers

I'm trying to do the same. Did you have this on a tripod? It's really crisp. I love when the wind van be captured.

@squamloon..hi.. this shot was hand held ..dont have a tripod..maybe one day..cheers

[Me again]

Lovely. You can see the speed of the wind but the soft colours gives it something gentle.

[Lynne Hart]

Lovely shot, you have captured the motion well.

[gloria jones]

[Richard Hickey]

[Kerry]

[Trinda Love]

Good for you for getting off auto! But it sure is nice to have built in meter in camera isn't it?

[Lexx]

great capture

[Gavin.J.Cotton]

Nice movement slowed down :)

[Denise Wood]

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel :)
Love it John, and I try to do manual too but succumb to the easy option too easily ! Good luck :)

[Gavin.J.Cotton]

The good thing about Manual setting, is that you decide the exposure. Your photos will jump out at you and will portray how and what you felt the moment you squeezed the trigger. Good luck :)

[Michael Smith]

Super motion! Good move to M and A.

[Charles]

Beautiful shot!

[MB]

I really like the perspective here and the B&W.

You have captured the movement very well. Yay for giving manual mode a go! Persevere with it and you will enjoy the control you start to see you have when taking images.
Do you think you will make it to the 365 meet-up at Sorrento on 17th of this month (Saturday night)? Details are on discussion page.
