Description
Rhyolite was a small bustling town in Nevada during the gold and silver rush. After the mines in the town closed down, the people left and nature took over. Over time, buildings were torn down and succumbed to nature. All that is left now in this national park is just the ruins and memories of what once was. Shot on large format, this image has a ton of deep blacks and bright whites. This is part of an ongoing series of pictures from Rhyolite. This image was captured on large format film, using Provia 100F. It is a several hour exposure, which results in the stars rotating through the frame as the earth revolves on its axis. The green cast is from a single light near the train station of the town, around a mile away from this spot. However, because of the long exposure, the very small amount of light added up into the exposure here.
