  • I retrace the steps of Don Quixote de La Mancha as I fight (photograph) the giants (windmills) in La Mancha. What a beautiful week of photography I had here!

    Very many years ago when I was a small boy, I was very fortunate to have a very enlightened teacher who introduced us to the Spanish writer Cervantes and Don Quixote. He read passages from an English translation of his book. I remember we would pronounce it incorrectly ' Don Kwicksote' instead of the correct Spanish ' Don keehotay'. Thank you for reminding me of this happy period of my childhood.

    What a superb photography video. Literature, humor, fog, historic windmills, perfect music, fine art photography, coffee... The only thing you're missing is a cat or two. But so close to perfection otherwise, it's almost forgivable. The bar is set very high with this one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    One of the best photography videos I've seen on TH-cam. From the moment you showed your giant shadow on the windmill while talking about giants you had me hooked. Great work all round.

    This is incredible! Your photography is beautiful. Your narration and description of your own 'knightly' quest to conquer the giants is immediately engaging. I wish there was an audio version of Don Quixote narrated by you. Maybe even a print version that includes your photographs interspersed, with full descriptions of how you shot them. I'd buy it, and I bet many others would too. It would offer a fresh take on photography, while also securing a classic story's place in the hearts of another generation.

    Hola,te sigo desde hace algún tiempo,pero hoy tenía que escribir un comentario…no soy ningún experto,pero tienes un estilo fotográfico súper personal y súper identificable,además de que personalmente me encanta. Creo que las composiciones que has hecho en este video con los molinos son es pec ta cu la res (amazing),para mí las mejores de todos los videos(en términos generales). Muchas gracias por mostrar tu trabajo/arte. Saludos desde Ourense y mucha suerte.

    My favorite video that you have made. I love all of the images that you shared. I could easily spend several days there making images. With the current state of affairs in the world, I don't see an over seas trip any time soon. Plenty to see and photograph here in the free states in the USA. Keep the great content coming.

    I came across your channel after a recommendation from Alex Kinbee, "The photographic eye" and I´m so lucky I did. After seeing your videos from Sweden and Norway (I live in northern Sweden) which I really enjoyed, I saw this masterpiece. Fantastic. Funny, inspiring and beautiful. Your pictures of the windmills really appeals to me. Thanks for sharing, keep up your good work!

    Hola Adrián!! Felicidades y enhorabuena. Para mi ha sido uno de tus mejores vídeos, o incluso el mejor. La edición, la narración, la ambientación musical, las referencias quijotescas y, por supuesto, las fotografías... Un trabajazo de 10. Creo que has creado uno de los mejores vídeos de fotografía que se pueden ver en TH-cam. Bravo!!

    Fabulous video. It's been on my list since I first saw Michael Kenna's images, but have to say that I think yours are better. Maybe his silver prints would be unbeatable. I know the place as Consuegra Windmill. ATB.

    You should try to apply filter to filter out the bass heavy wind noises when you're editing your video :) Seems to be quite a lot of 20-50hz wind noise.

    No, I'll embrace these amazing old windmills, and fight the wind-turbine-plants in Norwegian nature with all my might!
    Please don't put any of these modern monsters in any of your photo-books again!
    Anyway, don't come to Norway, never, as they even set up a wind turbine plant close to Oslo Airport.
    I'll share these beautiful windmills on Headwind Innlandet, my local group fighting the terror of the modern wind industry, for inspiration 🙂
