Ghost Town Beauty [Contest Finalists January 2014]
Uploaded: January 03, 2014 05:43:58
Inspired by pics of Randsburg by BP members Jill Odice and Linda Ruiz, I finally took a trip there. It is an old mining town / "living" ghost town in the Mojave Desert. Linda Ruiz had produced a superb image of it using a fisheye lens, so I decided to do the same ... thanks Linda! Canon 15mm rectilinear fisheye; internal 3 exposure HDR and I removed the power lines from the image.
Exif: f/8, ISO 100
