Great shot. I used to ride the Blue Ridge Parkway every spring with a bunch of friends. There is a similar mill on the Parkway, and wee always rode all the way to Dollywood.
Thanks for the memories.

Behind The Lens

Location

I was on vacation and was in Tennessee. I got off an exit near Dollywood to get something to eat and came across this old mill. When I seen it, I thought that would make a great photograph.

Time

I believe it was later in the day, since I was stopping to get dinner.

Lighting

No not really, it was shot in natural daylight.

Equipment

I used my Nikon camera, more than likely, I had a Nikon zoom lens on.

Inspiration

When I was driving by it, I just thought to myself boy that would take a nice picture, so I parked the car and snapped off a few shots of the old mill.

Editing

No post editing to the picture, sometimes you get it right with the camera.

In my camera bag

My Nikon camera with an assortment of different lenses. A few filters, flash and a tripod.

Feedback

Just be ready to snap a picture at anytime, you never know when when an opportunity will arise.
