Abandoned Mine near Alma, Colorado

C&C is appreciated! I don't shoot a ton of night shots.

Last weekend I was on a family trip to Colorado, The sky's were clear and dark, I couldn't help but get up in the middle of the night for a few hours of night shooting up a 4WD road in the middle of nowhere! (in a 2WD- not the best idea) My family thought I was crazy, but it was my favorite part of the whole trip!

What do you think?

Shot with 5Dmk2 | 24mm 1.4 | ISO3200 | 25 seconds | Building lit by multiple flashes from camera left.

it's beautiful, and thanks for leaving the exif intact

very cool. Is that M31 at the top?

Very cool shot!

I was going to ask the very same thing

Thanks for the compliments! I am pretty sure that is M31 I didn't know it when I was taking the picture though! Thanks for pointing it out!

That's one great image!

KFA!!
Yep - M31 does pop up at times when you can't really see it with your eyes.

Did you have that much light pollution for the sky to appear blue or did that come out in Post?

Thanks Mike,

There was some light polution for sure, not too much though! I used tungsten WB, that brought out the blue color, then I added a touch of saturation too, I do like it that way, but I suppose I could see if I could make it more black... I might like that better, what do you think?

Thats a great shot!

Awesome...great shot.

Thanks again everyone! I'm going to dive into editing the rest of these soon, I hope they all turn out as good as this one!

Very nice

Nice shot! It looks like that old mine has seen better days!

not sure if im the only one that see's it but there is a ghost in the window in this picture... !!!!

Hmmmmm.... I don't see it... Which window?
