another photo from a ghost town~ Bodie, CA

Unable to enter the buildings, my photos were taken through windows, or knocked out knot holes in the walls. I scanned the black and white negatives with a transparency/negative adaptor, and switched it to true color...the result being more aged looking. Depending on the film, I got very orange tones or more true grey tones. Hope you enjoy.

This photo was taken through a crack between two boards in the door to this bar. I loved it so much.
I did a bit of cropping, but I didn't want to take anymore of the image away in order to get rid of the blurry part (on the left side) Oh well. Let me konw what you think.

Real nice, reminds me of an old western movie.

The tones really give off a creepy feeling. Looks like a bottle of ghost beer on the left. Very effective.

Thank you so much. I wanted soo badly to explore beyond the door, but I respect what that place is, and those layers of dust wouldn't be there with my footprints scampering all around. Oh well. I appreciate your comment.
:iconmyuh:
Definitely old western...hahaha thanks ;)

I'd want to go in too. The photo looks old. I live in NV and photograph the ghost towns here, but that photo is just great!

Thank you so much for your comments. Yeah that far bottle in the blurry edge is one of the reasons that I didn't want to crop any more of the edge off. Like I said I took the photo through a crack in the door, and the edge of the wood was caught on the left. Thanks for your thoughts...Mmmm ghost beer. Yummy :beer:

aww thanks I put you on my watch list. I like your gallery so far. keep it up. NY is wonderful. I've only been there once when I was 13-14years old. I've got family in Manhattan. I'll go back someday I hope.
