Loooong post.....I've been wanting to take pictures up here for quite a while. It's a short(ish) 3ish hour drive north for me so it's not too terribly far. As always the weather has not been cooperative at all so the timing of this wasn't quite what I had been wanting. But as you can see it worked out anyway. I took this picture under the highway that passes by the mill. While under the bridge I saw an Amish man and his son on the other side of the creek. I went to the top of the bridge and met him up on top. He told me that his name was Herman and that he owned the mill. He said that he had bought the mill a few years back and had been restoring it. He just finished restoring the dam and the paddle wheel. I told him I was there to take some pictures and loved the mill. He said he would give me a quick tour inside and turn the mill on for me if I would send him some pictures when I was done. So, of course I said absolutely. After a brief tour he showed us some things inside the mill and explained some future plans of things that he would like to do. One of them being he wanted to start grinding flour with the mill and making goods for the local community. You could tell from his enthusiasm just how proud of the mill he is. Which, to be fair, I would be too. It's a pretty awesome little mill. I couldn't believe how nice it was for being built in 1864. With his renovations and love for the mill I can't wait to see what ultimately becomes of it. For the shot I am using a two Lume Cubes to light the mill and waterfall and I'm using my UNLEASHED to trigger my camera and lots of patience. I arrived at about 7pm and the milky way didn't come into alignment with the mill like this until about 1:30am. It was well worth it though... www.instagram.com/UH82NVME Canon 6D Mark II Irix 15mm Firefly ISO6400 13 sec f/2.4 UNLEASHED #irix #mill #paddlemill #milkyway #longexposure #litbylume #stars #exposethenight #universeexporers #dellsmill #water #reflection #northernwisconsin #dam #capture4cubes #history #firefly #unleashed #foolography #UH82NVME #UH82NVMYPHOTOGRAPHY #CANON #canonbringit #lumecube (at Augusta, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCiPzIBNa9/?igshid=1luf15don12dx
