The Mingus Mill at Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
I was trying to get a shot with water cascading out of the mill race, but that man by the mill changed the flow before I could get a reasonable lens on...
Well, why not shoot objects from time to time--it is fun, to try to make them look good!
These photos were shot at our University (www.h-ab.de) at the lab of Prof. Volpe, for a publication about PCB prototyping.

STROBIST
Two speedlites, manually adjusted, one on the left side shooting through a diffusor, on on the right side, with a blue gel, shooting against a silver reflector (actually: it was the cover of the diffusor, taped to the wall). The speedlites were triggered via YN-602 RF transmitters. Still my favorite work horses. :-)

PHOTOSHOP
Not that much, the usual cloning and stuff.
For the right one I stacked two shots to get the drill and also the logo sharp.
Why not close the aperture for that purpose?
Because that would need too much flash power and furthermore the lens would be not that sharp anymore (not on the "critical aperture" setting).
Why not zoom out?
Yes, that would give me the DOF I wanted, but the perspective would change (cropping would have been ok, there's plenty of resolution left). I tried that and I did not like the wide-angle perspective.
So I just did two shots with varied focus and aligned these in Photoshop (btw.: Photoshop did a good job regarding the aligment and a bad job regarding the merging, so I did the merging my hand).

Sunrise at Beckman's Mill in southern Wisconsin. It was a perfect morning to get a mirror reflection from the mill pond.
Back in 1720 The Mill, which was once a corn mill for the Rufford Abbey estate and Rufford Lake became part of a major ongoing redevelopment. Now it's one of Nottingham's top 10 wedding venues. Recently part of the lake has been sectioned off. It's become a boating lake for the public to enjoy.
The Mill is a Grade II Listed Building (Historic England).
Grade II refers to buildings that are of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve them.

The No.3 Mill in the Belgrave complex was built to the design of F. W. Dixon and Son in 1910. It was electrically powered from the start.Spinning ceased in 1960 after which it has been used for clothing production and later for the manufacture of foam, polyester and feathers for the furniture and clothing industries.

Tim Gould and I presented this layout at BrickVention 2014.
It's based on the Australian Paper Manufacturers mill on Heidelberg Road, Fairfield/Alphington (Victoria, Australia), as it looked in 1972. The paper mill was serviced by a rail siding that ran diagonally through a major road intersection. Coal trains ran every weekday, and twice on Saturday, and often held up traffic. Coal wagons were emptied at the mill by a tippler.
This mill was Victoria’s first paper mill but is now closed, and the site looks set to be developed in the near future (it's a huge site, only 7 kms from the CBD, and it backs onto the Yarra river!).

North of Cincinnati there is the abandoned Harding-Jones Paper Mill that sits just off the main road in town. It was constructed in 1865 over a winery and many say it is haunted. Even local Channel 12 news, along with paranormal investigators Tri-Ops, investigated the place, getting several instances of odd behavior and noises.
It's a large place and took us about three hours to cover most of it. This shot is in the lower section of the mill, seemingly older looking at the architecture. We didn't hear anything peculiar on this day, but we did find some creepy dark corners and passages for sure.

The Moffett Mill
Lincoln, RI
January 30, 2021
"Constructed in 1812 by local mechanic George Olney, the Moffett Mill offers a rare glimpse of the early American machine shop. The Moffett Mill was among the first mills in the area to have new metal-working technology including a metal lathe and drill press. In the early 1800s, Olney made tools and repaired vital machine parts for the other mills along Great Road, including his own thread mill at the pond in Lincoln Woods, Stephen Smith’s Butterfly Mill, and Captain Wilbur Kelly’s mill at Old Ashton. Arnold Moffett purchased the mill in 1850, replacing the breast-style waterwheel with a more modern, water-driven iron turbine. He expanded into furniture making and wagon building. At the time of the Civil War, the mill’s second floor housed braiding machines used to produce laces for shoes and corsets. By 1880, gristmill orders accounted for a large share of the Moffetts’ business, and a sawmill produced boards and wooden boxes for customers in the area. By the turn of the century, the mill closed and the building abandoned. In 2000, the Moffett Mill was stabilized and restored, with the original equipment still intact. Today, the mill is open for occasional public viewing under the stewardship of the Friends of Hearthside."

Explore Constable Country
Flatford lies in the heart of the beautiful Dedham Vale. This charming hamlet was the inspiration for some of John Constable's most famous pictures, for example, the Hay Wain or Boatbuilding near Flatford Mill among many others. Wandering beside the River Stour or looking at Flatford Mill and Willy Lotts House you can feel as if you are actually walking through one of his paintings.

Early mills
In the early 19th Century, the few mills in Marsden included cotton mills, silk mills and woollen mills. At Clough Lea, there was a cotton mill called Fell Mill or Woodhead Mill, which subsequently burned down (some said it was deliberate). Further downstream was another cotton mill, Heywood Mill, which was re-built in 1841 as Middle Mill, a woollen mill.
In 1710 a mill for scouring and fulling cloth was built by the river at Hey Green by Robert France, and the weavers of the area agreed to send their cloth to it. Later, it was replaced with a larger mill for cloth manufacture, and later still it became a flour mill. All that now remains is the mill dam and pond, and the stables, now Lower Hey Green cottages.
Bank Bottom Mill
In 1867, John Crowther established Bank Bottom Mills. Over the years, Crowther and Sons opened many mills in Marsden and the Colne Valley. In 1936, Bank Bottom covered 14 acres, used 680 looms and 43 carding machines, and employed 1900 people. It closed down in 2003. It was built in 1801, and eventually replaced Top Bank Mill, which was demolished in 1891.

Cellars Clough Mill
This was owned by Samuel Firth of Gatehead, Marsden, and opened in 1888. He also owned Holme Mill.
Holme Mill
Owned by Samuel Firth of Gatehead, who was a patron of music and education in the area, and contributed to the Huddersfield Choral Society. He died in 1929. He owned the mill jointly with his brother, Cooper Firth (born 1867). They traded under the name S&C Firth Ltd. It was later run by Herbert Arnold Firth and William Schofield Firth (children of Cooper) until the late 1950s.
Marsden Silk Mill
Marsden Silk MillThe 1841 census for Marsden shows 24 silk workers: 1 silk carder, 4 silk dressers, 1 silk mule piecer, 1 piecer silk, 7 silk spinners, 1 silk throwsters, 3 silk twisters, 1 silk weaver, 3 silk workers, 1 person “employed in silk”, and a couple of Assistants (Silk).
In the 1851 census for Marsden there is one silk manufacturer employing 40 hands, a Benjamin Lockwood who lived at Rose Hill, which is at the bottom of Chain Road near Gatehead, Marsden. His son Henry, aged 16, was probably learning the business and was a silk spinner. Apart from this, 31 of the employees in Marsden can be traced, ie. 1 silk carder, 10 silk dressers, 1 silk layer, 1 silk minder, 1 silk piecener, 2 silk piecers and 1 piecer (silk), 2 silk reelers, 4 other silk spinners +1 spinner (silk) 3 silk twiners, 1 silk twister, 1 silk warper, 1 frame tenter (silk).
By the 1861 census no silk workers are shown.
On the 1854 1st edition O.S. map 'Upperend Mill' is shown as a Silk and Woollen Mill. This shows an L-shaped building to the north of a bend in the River Colne. Between the Colne and the river is a mill pond. The 1801 map only showed a drawing of the northern wing of the mill, marked 'The Factory', owned by John Haigh, who apparently owned a lot of cotton mills. A 1900 photograph shows again just the northern wing (recognisable as that in the 1801 map), indeed on Warehouse Hill, plus what seems to be a portion of the side-wing to the east of the reservoir.
Middle Mill
On the north bank of the Colne at Clough Lea, this was a relatively small, water-powered mill. It was built in 1841.
New Mills
This mill was on Brougham Road, and was part of the firm of J E Crowther and Sons. It was also known as the Colne Valley Spinning Co. In 1936, it had 260 looms and 32 carding machines.
Ottiwells Mill
Ottiwell's Mill was at the bottom of Binn Road, and was to play a part in the story of the Luddites. No trace of this mill remains.
Its owner, James Horsfall, was murdered by luddites on Crosland Moor. Horsfall's father, broken by the death of his son, re-introduced hand-cropping frames, but sold the mill a few years later.

Ready Carr Mill
This was Taylor's Iron Foundry, and was taken over by Crowther's, and turned into a shoddy mill. It no longer exists, but was opposite the present Old New Inn. Crowthers built some new houses on the site.
Robinson's Mill
Built in Clough Lea in 1860 by Robinson Bros. It was known as Clough Lee Mills. It was sold in 1903, and eventually the mills were taken over by a Belgian firm, Bailly-Ancion, in 1934. It was then used for wool scouring, dyeing and bleaching, employing 200 people. It was demolished in 2001, and a new housing estate was built on the site, although the original chimney was left standing.
On 26 October 1941, there was a large fire at the mill. It was rebuilt after the fire, which had cost £50,000. In 1946, the MD, J D Bailley was appointed Belgian consul for the West Riding of Yorkshire, so Marsden was home of the Belgian Consulate!
In 1949 they set up a bus service to bring in workers from Oldham. Despite its success, trade declined in the 1980's, until it was closed in the 1990's and eventually demolished for new housing.
Top Bank Mill
This no longer exists - there is no trace. It was situated where the present banking for the Butterley Reservoir is. It was demolished in 1891.
Vales Mill
This was one of the mills protected by troops during the luddite troubles of 1812-3.
^Top
Warehouse Hill Mill
This was a silk mill, operating in the 18th Century. It was owned by the Haigh family. In a period of labour shortage, they brought foundling children from London to work in the mill, lodging them at Throstle's Nest. The mill was demolished in the 1930's.
Wood Bottom Mill
This can still be seen, just off Manchester Road, now operating as a garage. It was powered by water, and the wheel was made by Enoch Taylor's foundry.
Wood Bottom Mill click to enlargeAt the time of the Luddite riots, the mill was owned by John Hirst of Slaithwaite. He heavily defended the mill, by barricading the windows and doors, and arranging that the ground floor could be sealed off from above. Defenders could fire on rioters from the upper windows. The nill chimney was built 80 years after the mill itself.

Yates Cider Mill is located in Rochester Hills, MI, and traces its roots back to 1863 when it was known as Yates Grist Mill. In order for the mill to utilize water power, the Yates Dam was built. The Yates Mill became the Yates Cider Mill in 1876 when a cider press was installed into the existing water powered process and the Mill began producing apple cider. Custom apple pressing was done for local farmers, orchard owners and landowners who brought their apples to the Mill. www.rochestershutterbug.com/Rochester-Michigan/i-XxHQRV6/A
Anglesey Abbey's Lode Mill dates from the 18th century, but early records, including the 1068 Doomsday Book describe a building on this site. The Lode Mill was restored to full working order in 1982 by the Cambridgeshire Wind and Watermill Society. Today you can step inside and see how the power of water is harnessed to grind tens of tons of flour every year. Freshly ground flour from the Mill and oatmeal are sold by the bag, direct from the Abbey, delicious for bread making or dumplings!
