Calico "Ghost Town"

ISO: 2500  f/2.8  SS: 1/80

ISO: 800  f/2.8  SS: 1/320

These are two photos from my trip to Calico.  They have a "ghost town" with old, abandoned buildings. 

The first photo is from the old lumber mill.  It was pretty difficult to set up because the sun filter in through holes in the ceiling, but the the factory itself was very very dark.  So getting a setting that didn't totally blow out the details and still expose the wheels in the dark.  It was difficult, and it took me like 12 tries, but I finally made it work. :)

The second photo was interesting to me because it was an old Pepsi-Cola bottle, dated from the 1980's. It was really kind of neat. :) We found old orders for the lumber mill in there too.  It's not like the world's best photo, but I think it's interesting to see.  It was hard, again, because the sun was SO BRIGHT IN THE DARK BUILDING. But it was easier than the wheel, so.
