Post pictures here of any windmills you come across in your travels.
Australia, being a drought prone country has many thousands of iconic Southern Cross Windmills across this wide brown land.
Since 1903, over 250,000 Southern Cross Windmills have been manufactured.
At the Gilgandra Museum in New South Wales a windmill is still operating 100 years after it was made.
Most windmills will have a water storage tank alongside.

Use your phone for vertical videos. However some editing software will turn it upright. I am not sure if Shotcut does, you might even find YouTube will do it for you (don’t know)
This photo was taken 8th June 2024, since which it has had the restored sails refitted, going back in a couple of weeks so it can be captured in its full glory
We have windmills but as far as I know they are largely attractions for those with an interest in history, in other words not functioning in the true sense.
Jack and Jill are the nearest windmills to us up on The South Downs.
Thank you for doing that. I will have a look at Shotcut now.
Wow. Terms and conditions ran to over 5600 words.
I think I will reshoot the video right way up.
Shotcut is free open source program. I’ve never read them but I suspect that the terms tell you that if you modify the program you must make the source code available to all.
Have you read the Youtube terms and conditions? - you give them the right to do almost anything they want with your video.
Fast rotating objects always look odd on camcorders because of the rolling shutter (the sequential way the vision is recorded)
