About the Image(s)

The Grist Mill in Sudbury, MA is on the ground of Longfellow’s Wayside Inns. I have found myself going back to this spot trying to capture the perfect image of the Grist Mill. The Mill is surrounded by a rustic wooden fences so I elected to exclude it by getting close to the wheel and water. The This attempt was taken with a Nikon Z 6ii with Nikon Z 24-120mm ’/4 S lens at 30mm. I didn’t have a tripod and wanted to blur the water so I hand-held at 1/10 seconds at ’/8 and ISO = 220. I post-processed the image in Lightroom Classic applying the Adaptive Color Profile and then brought it into Radiant Photo 2 where I applied the Landscape workflow and then applied a vignette. I was surprised that I could hand-hold at 1/10 second and still obtain a sharp image.
