I visited that mill very early in the morning and stayed awhile. Got to watch the guy change the sluce to direct the water and start the mill. Nice images.

We missed the best color by about a week but had some good luck in spots. Here are some images of the Mingus Mill outside of Cherokee, NC. All images were taken with a Canon 5D IV and 24-105 f 4 kit lens. ISO 100 was used with various shutter speed, most of which were in 1/5 to 1 second range to maximize depth of field.

Nice old mill James and someone went to a lot of trouble building that water trough to handle all that water

I can appreciate their efforts in the construction of it. WOW.

They did not have the backhoes we use now, all manual labor and setting the boards.

You could still saturate those colors a tad.

Thanks for the suggestion Fotoartist, I did bump up the total sat in LR to +9 and this is the result. I normally adjust the luminance and hue in LR but originally left the saturation alone. Maybe I was a bit too conservative initially.
