Parkour Photoshoot at Westwood Mills Huddersfield

[BarefootKT]

A quick visit to Westwood Mills, Linthwaite, Huddersfield for a photoshoot with a friend. This listed building is believed to be the earliest surviving woollen mill in the Colne Valley and shows different phases of construction over a long period. It was originally powered by water from the adjacent mill pond. The earliest part of the building was a scribbling mill, facing the mill pond (right), built in 1798 while the canal itself was being built.

Can you do it with your shirt off though??

Man-boobs SJP, man-boobs

To be fair we made him take his shirt off for photography purposes

Parkour? More like handstands and swinging on things

parkour is about movement and free flow. I don't think you quite grasped this as your pictures would say otherwise to someone who didn't know what parkour/free running is as they look very static.

A photograph is a static image

Reducing the shutter speed can show motion (small amount of motion blur) which could add the the effect

Thanks but it was sharp images we were after as the mill was a big part of the subject not just the parkour.
