Faouedic Mills Photo

Photographer’s Note

People who know Lorient a little should be very surprised that this shot was token ... in the centre of the city ! Not so surprising, since this place has been hidden to people of Lorient for a long time. This mill (actually there are two mills but the other one is not on the photo) are in Lorient arsenal. This military land has been forbidden to civil people for a long time. Some people had already seen these mills, but just on photos. French Navy recently gave part of the arsenal lands to the city of Lorient. Now you can walk on the Peristyle promenade, starting at the end of "Quai des Indes" and showing us river Scorff as a very few people had seen it. The mills are on foot of a very high lighthouse called Tour de la Découverte (Discovery Tower), on a small hill called Faouedic Mountain.

Hi Olivier,
Wonderful result here,a simple composition with great control
over framing,exposure and contrast.The light and the sky
played also a role.Regards,

Olivier,
Nice composition placing the mill to one side of the scene with the trees providing nice balance for the shot. The paths in the foreground provide a nice buildup for the scene. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa
