Cripple Creek Mining Works

gary tompkins December 12, 2014

A couple of old buildings and a mine head near Cripple Creek. Not pictured is the largest building on this site which I believe was the ore processing plant, I just couldn't get a good enough composition with all four structures.

I added noise in selected areas to this picture to give it a more painterly look which I quite like but would process the sky and clouds different now as you can see the telltale signs of HDR processing here. Turning the bottom of the cloud overly dark and the lighter hue of the sky just above the tree line. I may go back and redo this image at some point but I think it's a good study of someone learning the HDR technique, warts and all. Still an interesting picture. I love these old structures and wonder about the lives of the people who worked here.
