Historic Mascot/Ressler Roller Mills Photo Trek
Each year the Mascot Roller Mills and Ressler Family Home welcomes more than 12,000 visitors to this historic site nestled in the heart of a thriving Amish community in eastern Lancaster County. The remarkably preserved water-powered grain mill sends visitors back in time to learn about milling history along the banks of scenic Mill Creek.
The adjacent 1855 miller’s house, once home to three generations of Resslers, offers a charming look at early 20th century housekeeping and family life. The home is preserved just as it was when siblings Franklin and Anna Ressler offered their neighbors the finest flour, along with neighborly hospitality.
We invite you to visit us and journey back to a simpler time when milling was a staple of the Lancaster County farming community. (from their website)
And I invite you to join me for a wonderful time of photographing the many interesting aspects of the mill. Hands-on instruction will be given on creative composition, exposure settings, HDR imaging and how to deal with contrasty light. This will be a great workshop for beginners as well as more advanced photo enthusiasts!
We will begin with a pre-trek zoom, where we will go over all the details for the event-including available subjects, gear choice, settings and more. We will also follow up the workshop with a group image review also via zoom, to get further helpful tips for editing, composition, etc.
A minimum number of participants is required to run this workshop. Registration closes one week prior to event, so don’t wait-sign up today!
