Getting Ready for Pinhole Day!

From the Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park

With the Holga Pinhole Panorama Camera.  Really low tech photography!

Wrapping up our first visit to Caribou............

Next week we'll move on to a neighboring ghost town: Cardinal, Colorado.

Caribou #5

Another view through a Window.  This time at the larger building:

Almost a Lifetime.......Caribou #4

Well, if not a lifetime, you could spend multiple visits re-shooting these two buildings.  We plan to return with less harsh light and also to do some full moon photography here.

The second smaller building shown here, has all 4 walls still standing.  You may notice, however, the smooth concrete inside providing stability.

Caribou Mine #3

The previous image had been cropped, although I did  not show the before and after.  Here I will show both:

One advantage of Medium and larger formats is that you have the resolution to 'zoom in by cropping'.  Above the crop and below the full frame.

Caribou Mine #2

I love looking through window to see the other side.  Click here to see one of my Favorite Ghost Town windows.

Below, another view of what was probably the Mine Office:

Caribou Mine, Colorado

We revisited the Caribou Mining District a few weeks ago.  There is an active silver mine still onsite.  But all that remains of the original town is a broken down cabin and two stone building ruins, that must have been Mine Offices.

As I have mentioned.  The theme for the rest of the summer is Ghost Towns.......More Ghosts on the way.

Another Crop at Arches

To keep the sky or Not?

Distractions at the Fossil Dunes

A Case For Cropping:

I think the vegetation in the background may be distracting.  How would you print this one?

Arches Skyscape #2

Arches Skyscape #1

Maundy Thursday.........Keeping Watch

The Lion watches over the Lavanderia at Mission Santa Barbara

Mission Santa Barbara: Architectural Details......

Exterior View behind the Altar...............

I have to admit that a functioning Mission is not as interesting as the ruins I photographed at San Juan Capistrano Or Pecos Pueblo.

By the way this is another Photomerge......

Mission Santa Barbara: Meditation

A Scene from the Garden

Mission Santa Barbara: Exterior Views #1

A little Photoshop Fun!  I Transforned the image to remove the extreme perspective distortion.

Below is the BEFORE image:
