We went to historic Yates Mill park yesterday, so I'll post some of those photos over the coming days. The clouds were nice and fluffy all day, so we'll start there.

Caught a rainbow in a cloud when the sun went behind it. Couldn't really determine how best to frame it, so I went with this; hope it's appealing.

...then the obligatory water reflection.

Reminded me of the image I've been trying to upload hokie

Here are some of Yates Mill proper. It's a beautiful old building restored to all its 1756 glory. It's the only park around here that I've seen require commercial photographer permits, so you know it's a popular place. Unfortunately, based on that page, it seems the permits are newly required because some photogs are fools, putting their subjects in perilous positions. Anyway...

Here's the mill itself.

I tried my hand at some 'old' processing this go-round, for obvious reasons.

The shapes in this last one really drew my attention. This is one of about four that I took, trying to frame in an interesting manner. Since it's such a popular place, I was trying to think of some atypical ways to shoot it. Not sure if it worked as well as it did in my head, but hopefully it gets the general point across.

Nice shots hookie. Great history there. As they say, if the walls could talk.

Thank you!

Here are the last of the Mill photos from our outing. I would love to go back there just me & the camera one day; this is the best I could do without ditching my family.

The water wheel was a beautiful setup, rust and all.

The mill's foundation was fascinating to me too; just rock & stilts, with the former in place since the late 1700s. Amazing.

I also processed these with antique/filmesque styling in mind but won't clutter the thread. Instead, here are links: water wheel & mill foundation. Overall, I prefer the color shots, but see aesthetic appeal of the other type of processing.

Another speckled wood with lovely markings more in-line with a canary speckled wood.

Just got up close and personal with this dragonfly.

Edit: species is a female southern hawker :salute:

As always great shots people.

Grist mills are awesome. Hydropower 101
Would love, someday, to build a house with one.

Gave the DSLR a break this evening. This is my new LG G4 at work, manual mode. ISO 50, f1.8, 1/60 shutter speed. The only thing I let the phone do was autofocus, otherwise this was shot RAW and post processed in Rawtherapee.

I think I like this phone. Even if it needs a bit more help in post than my D5100 does

Silver_Pharaoh · Sep 25, 2015

The G3 I have is awesome too. I imagine the G4 has a better camera than mine too :thup:

Nice phones eh?

Nice shot too!

Speaking of shots, there's been a lot of great shots lately guys, great work :thup:

Love the grain mill, and Bobby, you got some nice parks over the pond I see, love the castle btw.

Brown willow beetle.
I love how you can see the whole world reflected on its tiny iridescent wing casings

Last night's blood moon at the height of the eclipse over some abandoned cars.

NZKshatriya · Sep 28, 2015

^^ That is bloody awesome

GTXJackBauer · Sep 28, 2015

Here are some of my shots last night. Took about 170+ and found these 7 as some of my favorite ones.
