The Ghost Town of Cisco Utah
More from the NXNW tour, images from the Ghost town of Cisco Utah, one of our first stops on the way to Moab. I loved the lighting in the old building above, like some type of lighting Vortex when I crawled in and my eyes adjusted. This place was a Goldmine of Ghost Towns! So many subjects, so little time, I have a great Breaking Bad New Season Photo all set and ready for this summer….this place was THAT good!
One of the Icon’s of Cisco is the Post Office, a very small still intact building, begging to be photographed, so we did. I was really undecided on the lens and angle to shoot this baby, cause we all (NXNW Mafia) loved and shot this place up. I decided to go with a 2 lens approach, I wanted a wide vast shot with my 16-35 but I also loved the mountains behind this little gem, a Little Dave W. Tonal Compression came to mind. So the first is a wide-angle , 5 brackets with Silver Efex. The second is taken with my 70-200, 5 brackets as well also finished in Silver Efex. I was happy with both after the end result.
Thanks for looking!

14 May 2013Indeed a great light pattern in the top image, and while both post office shots are great, I prefer the wide angle.

14 May 2013Nice set of images, Mike. The interior shot is marvelous. As for the post office, I have to vote for the second shot. The mountains just set the scene perfectly and give the viewer a much better understanding of the place and the conditions it has existed in.

15 May 2013I’m not sure why, but I was afraid to go into the buildings. They just creeped me out. After seeing this first image I’m regretting it. Damn!

16 May 2013These are great shots, Mike. I really like that first one with the light entering through the cracks. Good stuff!
