Colored pinwheels, a photo from Pisa, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

Encontré estos molinetes de viento, muy cerca de la Torre de Pisa.

Siempre me ha gustado verlos girar a merced del viento. Y cuando no había viento, correr con ellos en la mano para que para impulsar su movimiento.

Cuando era niña los hacía yo, por entonces no teníamos tantos juguetes como los niños de ahora, también recuerdo haber hecho alguno para mis hijos.

I found these colored pinwheels, near the Tower of Pisa.

I've always liked to see them turn in the wind. And when there was no wind, running with them in hand so to further their movement.

As a child I made them, then we did not have as many toys as children now also remember doing one for my children.

Hola Charo,

Hay que saber controlar la luz para no fallar en esta imagen. Tu lo consigues dando una vitalidad a la imagen.
Me encanta la composición llena de colores. Una nota muy hermosa, a mi me sigue relajando verlos girar con el viento :)

Buenas noches!

Hola Charo

What an incredible quality !!! It's like these pinwheels were in front of us.
The close-up is a great idea to have a striking effect : the vivid colours are immediately enhanced.
A summer picture, well done.

Hello Charo,
A very fine close-up on these pin wheels with their many colours. I feel as if I could reach out and pick one and run off down the street with it:-)

Hola Charo,
You had found a jolly and colorful subject, incredible intense colors upon, helped by fine daylight.
The story told, made me smile as we all (try) did the same stuff...
Buenas tardes

Hello Charo,
I like the beautiful shapes and curves and colours and quality together with your lovely sentimental note. I think it is a pity that the background detracts therefrom to a certain degree but very pleasant to view as is. Best wishes.

Hi Charo
This is how colors cheer up our day, a well observed photo opportunity and well taken. I am really overwhelmed by those riot of colors and their vivd colors. The repeats and patterns make good graphical subject with many details which you have captured admirably. What a variety of hues in this shot offering a happy mood and excellent shallow dof, good exposure and contrast, Great capture, Congrats
Best regards

Questa foto è l'esempio del tuo straordinario eclettismo.
Sai cogliere i tempi, sia cogliere il peso della foto .
Una gradevole scelta di "mercato" ...un simpaticamente proporti .
