Electro 35 CC - Mabry Mill In November
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2016 10:39 am
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.
