The Grantsville Mine  :::::  Grantsville, Nevada  :::::  May 2012

The Grantsville Mine

By far, the real draw of the remote Grantsville, Nevada, mining district is the mine itself.  This is a stack of four 10 minute exposures, lit by pure moonlight.  Freezing cold, 2AM.

Protomachines Flashlight, blended to purple, green and red. […]

Brick House of the Holy  :::::  Grantsville, Nevada  :::::  May 2012

Brick House of the Holy

Another one lit with my beta-test version of the Protomachines light, from the abandoned mining town of Grantsville in central Nevada.  The PM is an amazing new light painting tool that gives total control of hue, saturation and brightness, allowing a virtually unlimited range of color and intensity of the light. For this 10 minute exposure […]
