Bodie – a few interiors

Some interiors in this post. Interiors often posed a challenge due to the reflections in the windows.

In some cases, the reflection became part of the photograph.

This one I shot through a crack in the door.

This was shot through a knot hole in the wood. This is pretty much how it came out of the camera and I really like the effect.

Sneak Peak: Bodie

Our photographers group went to Bodie State Park today. It’s an amazing ghost town. We were there about five hours and I shot over 600 photos, so it’s going to take me a while to get through them. Here are a few . . .

Old Beauty in the Dead of Winter

It was a beautiful day today, so about 9:30 this morning I grabbed my camera and tripod to see what I could find.  I took a left on Hwy 95 and headed south toward Fort Churchill State Park. Some of you may remember my  Day 43 photo from Fort Churchill.  Just a bit further from the entrance to the main park area is  “The Orchard,”  just across the highway from Buckland Station,  the picnic and hiking area at Fort Churchill State Park.

The area is full of decaying farm buildings with signs all over them NOT to enter (drat!), as well as rusting farm equipment and old wagons.  Here are a few of my shots. I’ll be posting more over the coming days.

You can see some of the adobe buildings of Fort Churchill in the background in this first one.
