Stawa Młyny

Landscape photography

Stawa Młyny in Świnoujście – photographs of the windmill, breakwater and Baltic
Stawa Młyny in Świnoujście draws the eye with its white tower and four openwork sails. In this gallery, I show it from different distances: from close-ups of the structure to wider frames in which the stone breakwater leads the eye towards the sea. People and a passing ship help convey the scale of this coastal landscape.
Light is the most important subject of these photographs for me. The white tower contrasts with the water, while the low sun and pink-orange clouds change the character of successive images. In some frames, the sails of Stawa Młyny draw attention; in others, the foreground waves and the line of the breakwater.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D, using both wide angles and longer focal lengths to isolate details. This is a small series devoted to one place and different ways of photographing it. You can find the EXIF data for individual photographs under the “More Info” button.
