Tranquillity at Yates Mill

Yates Mill, Raleigh, NC

I went to Yates Mill today. It's one of my favorite places in Raleigh. This shot was taken at the end of the ramp down by the water wheel. It was my first opportunity to get a new shot as the mill recently opened to the public earlier this year. I was a little pressed for time so I am looking forward to going back this coming week.

Hopefully I will have more time to spend there.

This was also my first outing with my new D200. I am still getting used to it. I am working through some of the settings but have not had the opportunity to work with a subject that interests me quite the way Yates Mill does. There is just something here that speaks to me.

UPDATE: 25-November-06 Today I thought I might get another chance to update this photo with a bit different crop, possibly more water going over the fall, but alas, this area is closed for the season. It goes to show you that you only get one opportunity to get it right!!

Marco and Soulis,

Thank you both for your comments. I really do like this image. I think me and this D200 are going to get along nicely.
