Saginaw Windmill - 10-20-2006, 10:24 AM


Stopped at lunch when I saw this yesterday 10-19. The wind was blowing pretty good so I thought it might make a good picture. Thought I'd share just for fun!

Thanks John, it was a spur of the moment shot. The arm kept swinging too but I managed to get the light that way for the first shot. Have not seen any windmills here so I thought I'd post a windmill.

I agree with John. The first is a very nice shot. I just love windmills. Where in Saginaw did you find this one?

This is the theme of a new neighborhood on Bailey-Boswell near Jarvis St. Just east of the Trinity Train MFG. plant on Bailey-Boswell Rd.

I'm really diggin' that shutter speed on the first one. Not so fast that the blades are frozen, but not so slow that you can't count them. That one's a keeper for sure!

The ss is definitely the main attraction for me in that image. It's nicely done.
