Alice in Eureka

[Raji Barbir]

My girlfriend and I went to a ghost town called Eureka here in Utah, then went further down to the sand dunes. Here's what I threw together from the trip.

Definitely some issues with camera shake... I was running an Epic MX with a side handle and a 16-35mm Canon L lens (no IS on mine), and the wind was blowing hard. I held as steady as I could, but this is one of the first things I've shot with it since coming over from the DSLR world.

Wow, very cool. The images look great and what a location.

Wow Raji! Beautiful images. Did you use HDRX for the san dune shots? Or was it NDs?

Thanks Mike! Yeah the ghost town is a pretty wild place, though most people just drive straight through it. The main strip is very short and you wouldn't think much of it if you didn't stop and get out and walk around town to find the boarded up houses (some of which you can slip into, though I didn't this time), buildings with collapsing rooftops, totally abandoned places like the mine/factory.

Thanks Shaeden! I actually shot with a Tiffen variable ND filter. I still haven't delved into HDRx-land. I have so much to learn...
