Halnaker Windmill
15th March 2011
Halnaker windmill stands on Halnaker Hill, just to the northeast of Chichester, and is a beautiful location offering 360 degree panoramic views over the stunning Sussex countryside. I have visited this location on many occasions but have always been disappointed in the end results due to the weather, and I'd almost started to feel the location had a curse on me, but finally a few days ago I got lucky. A great afternoon and evening were had, heavy storm clouds were the order of the day but every so often beautiful shafts of light were allowed through the clouds to light up the windmill. Over the 4 to 5 hours I was there I probably only had five minutes worth of good light, so it was just a matter of pre-visualising the image, setting up and just waiting. They do say great things come to those who wait, and I certainly seem to spend my whole life just watching and waiting for the light. The only disappointment was at sunset when a huge bank of grey cloud scuppered any chance of a decent sunset. Oh dear never mind I will have to go back again ….

Unfortunately over the next couple of weeks the blog update will be a bit sparse due to various workshops, however I will uploaded new posts and pictures as soon as possible on my return.
