Windmill Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

From the top of the hill, the wonderfully restored Moidrey Windmill overhangs the Bay and the Polders of Mont-Saint-Michel.

This Windmill, dating back to 1806, is more than just a view point, inviting you to explore a magical place. Unsuspected milling techniques will sweep you along on a journey from grain to flour.

You will smell that delicious local smell, hear the quiet “tic tac” of the cogwheels and see the beauty of the workings.

Hi Sabrina,

Haha, funny to see the note of the CP on a black and white converted shot. But you're right, it does impact the sky - even visible in the B&W conversion. But that sky you could have gotten as well with the channel mixers when converting to B&W. But funny to note it down. Good note in general. I like a note with a shot; Gives me a bit of an idea what I'm looking at and I can actually hear the 'tic tac' when looking at the shot!
It does look a little bit touristic with the fence around it though ;-). Can you upload the colour version in the WS, just to give us an idea? Thanks for sharing!!

Greetings, Dennis

Ciao Sabri
bella inquadratura, Pov, e ottima scelta del viraggio in B/N.
Buona luminosità e il pattern del cielo in background.
Come hai fatto senza tortellini?.. :)
Cari saluti
Freddy

Sabrina good evening
Very beautiful grey scale for this windmill. It is very emphasized in B&W. The square format is also well adapted here. Beautiful work.
In a friendly way

passaggio a nord-ovest.....
un po' d'invidia per la zona che amo..
ottimo bianco-nero forse da irrobustire leggermente...

Hello Sabrina! Great POV on this one, makes the distinct windwill seem more dramatic especially against that great sky. Very good sharpness in the details.
