The Glade Creek Gristmill at Babcock State Park was assembled from the remnants of four old non-working mills that were scattered throughout the state of West Virginia. The DNR carefully deconstructed them and moved the usable parts to this location and built this mill.

Ben, this is a lovely image. Is it an HDR? Really neat that they were able to put the parts together and set this up.

Lovely, Ben. Is it now a "working" mill?
Wow What a beautiful picture. What are the chances of you printing it up 11 X 14 and framing it? It is absolutely beautiful!
Now isn't that just a classic autumn landscape, the kind that appear in calendars. Colourful, with a strong center of interese. Wot everyone wants to take, given the opportunity.

This is not an HDR. I shot this with my Bronica GS-1 (film camera) then I had my lab convert the negative to a digital file then I loaded it into Photoshop sharpened it and "fixed" some stuff that needed fixing like a dead branch on the lower left rock and soem stray weeds in the foreground.
Yes this is a working mill and you can buy grain that has been ground here.

That is really lovely! :)
Converted from film to digital? Is that same idea as buying one of those film converters that scans the film then digitalizes? I was curious if its the same concept. I would love to do that-I may shoot more with film, :o.

I'm not sure, but it sounds like it. My professional lab does it for me but it is rather expensive (about $1.00 for each neg) if not done at the time of processing. If you have all of the negs digitized when processed it costs about $25.00 for a 36 exposure 35mm roll of film. I think Wal-Mart does this also but I'm not sure of the price.

Now that is all double dutch to me...all the steps you took....BUT I do like it and it is worth framing!
This is awesome. I would frame it and put it on my wall. Beautiful!
