More than 7 years ago, I've provided you with a pretty similar motion blurred image of a Dutch traditional windmill.

Because of the current contest topic 'Motion Blur', I thought another one of this series would be an appropriate item for this contest, so I peeked through my RAW-images gallery for another suitable one and the above picture is the result of my 'exploration' (😁).

The reason that I did this photo shoot was because I was often asked: "Cornelius, are the traditional windmills in your country still are functioning?" My reply was always: "Most of them, because functioning extend the lifetime for a traditional windmill. Standing still would mean 'going backwards'."

In order to give a visual proof of its functioning, I fixed my camera on a tripod in front of such a windmill and then I let my camera, 'fired' by a remote control device, take in a split second two single RAW-images that both were saved separately on the SD-card in my camera. Than I used the 'image overlay' function of this camera to create from the two slightly different pictures one single RAW-picture. The next step was converting the RAW-image into the for Caedes suitable PNG-format.

This result, being my entry for the 'Motion Blur' contest, was taken in Westkapelle, a village on the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands.
