On the waterfront of Woudsend stands the impressive sawmill De Jager, atmospherically captured with a moody edit. Thanks to the long shutter speed, the water takes on a mirror-smooth appearance and the sky seems to glide gently by, making the mill stand out even more powerfully. The dark edit emphasises the dramatic atmosphere, while the reflection in the water adds calm and balance to the image.
Wood saw mill De Jager has a rich history. Built in 1719, the mill played an important role in Woudsend's shipbuilding tradition. Sawing planks and beams for ships and houses was essential to the local economy for centuries. The mill is still a reminder of this period, when craftsmanship and trade went hand in hand. Today, De Jager is a striking icon of the Frisian water sports village, where past and present come together.
The moody edit enhances the atmosphere of stillness and history. The interplay of traditional architecture, calm water and dramatic sky makes this image timeless and gives the mill an almost picturesque look. A photograph that perfectly captures the power of Frisian culture and nature.
