coopers at work Photo

Photographer’s Note

At the Speyside Cooperage in Craigellachie you can watch the coopers when they are repairing old barrels or making new ones.
The circumstances for taking pictures though are not the best, since you can only take them through a glass window with quite low light-and without a tripod.
But actually in this one I liked the dynamic aspect the long exposure time adds to the photo. I hope you`ll like it, too.

Very interesting picture, Katrin. I like the blur of the cooper's arms and legs, they give good contrast to the sharp stillness of the barrel and the toolboxes. The touches of yellow are good, also the diagonals of the benches. For my taste, I would prefer the red at the top to be cropped off.
Best wishes,
Winifred
