All comments be they good or bad are welcome on this.

Read in a magazine a method of converting to IR style B&W, so I thought I would give it a go.

History:

Set upon the hills near the village Laxey rests a giant. Lady Isabella named after former Lieutenant Governor Hope's wife is also know as the Laxey Wheel. Built in 1854. The Laxey Wheel remains the largest working waterwheel in the world. The wheel has a diameter of 72ft and a circumference of 227ft. It was used to pump 250 gallons of water a minute from the Laxey mines some 200 yards away and 1500ft below ground. The mines employed over 600 miners at its peak producing lead, copper, silver and zinc till the mines closed in 1929. Tourists had long come to see the wheel, even when the mines were still in use and they continue to come to this day.

Would have been nice if it was a little wider.

LOL...

Despite the little write up you gave, it's still hard (for me) to get the perspectives & dimensions. Am I looking at something monstrously huge or a model/diorama ??

Still, I do like the shot nevertheless :)


Just returned after many years hiatus from this forum. I was a bit of a prat before, if I ever offended you, I'm sorry

I've got all the equipment I need, now I just need inspiration :D
