Images from Zion National Park and Valley of Fire State Park November of 2014
Old Laudermilk Mill
This is an old grist mill just outside of Cornelia Georgia. It dates back to about 1890. If you are interested in a second home it sits on 16 acres with a separate three bedroom two bath home. It has been for sale for over a year so I suppose they will work with you…

Magic Lantern and the Light Meter
A friend found a firmware enhancement for some of the Canon DSLR cameras including the 5D MK II that I use. Two of the features in it are HDR and stacking. There is the ability to combine both of them and the camera will shoot the frames needed. This old light meter is a combination of 24…
