Moores State Park in Paxton MA is a nice tranquil area with a good sized pond, brook, waterfall and 18th century sawmill.

This is the image I took of the sawmill mid September of 2021. Unfortunately the better shot is from the backside which shows the water wheel and the brook running alongside but I wasn’t able to gain access for a good shot.

Normally I wouldn’t have even photographed the waterfall because the lighting was so horrendous but knowing I may never be back I did so anyway. I took a series of (40) shots in rapid succession at 1/30th, F11, ISO 100. I then merged them in camera to get the blurred water effect. I still had to do a considerable amount of photoshop work to get the end result because the highlights and shadows were so extreme.

Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.3 MP, full framed DSLR and a Sony 24-105 mm lens at 48 mm, tripod mounted.
1/15th, F11, ISO 100
