Cable Mill in Cades Cove

Posted on May 28, 2025
The Cable Mill is a fully restored working grist mill in the Cades Cove community of the Smoky Mountains National Park

I have 11 years worth of images captured with my Big Girl camera.  I’m notorious for rapid fire shooting while repositioning composition and/or exposure with the hope I’ll get something I like.  I thought this was teaching me how to be a better photographer when in fact it not only made me a lazy one but a hoarder of digital photos.

While going through some Cades Cove photos, I had several images of the grist mill. I took several, maybe more, on the same day most looking about the same.  I’m careful when it comes to deleting images. The one above I like quite a bit, but it’s underexposed.  It wasn’t until I opened it in Pixelmator that I noticed a man looking out the window. This made the picture all the more special and a keeper.   

 Have a wonderful day!

      Thanks! I don’t know if I just forgot the guy was there or the underexposed shot masked his presence or maybe it’s a little bit of both. My vision isn’t what it use to be and if anything is the least bit too dim then I have trouble seeing things sometimes. Aging eyes aren’t fun.

        I can relate to aging eyes, Cathy! 😎
