Electro 35 CC - Mabry Mill In November

[PFMcFarland]

One of the attractions along the Blue Ridge Parkway is Mabry Mill in Floyd County, VA. It’s closed for the season now, but one can still do a walk around of the grounds to get a sense of what life was like back in those times.

A couple of days after Thanksgiving, I loaded up the Yashica Electro 35 CC rangefinder with Kodak T-Max 100 to get some photos of the place. Not much has changed since my first visit many years ago. I should have used a yellow filter on the lens as it was somewhat hazy cloudy, but that was easy enough to fix in post with a contrast boost. Other than that, no other corrections were made except to straighten the horizon on a few images. I think the bright frame lines mask is slightly askew in the viewfinder. Or maybe my right eyeball is crooked.

Beautiful. I have an old water mill close by, now restored as a museum. Maybe I should get some pictures of it.

I've got photos of this site taken a few days after Thanksgiving 21 years ago. Place still looks the same.
