evening in Monte Carlo

looking at Monte Carlo from the waterfront.

These old ore carts are reminders of the gold mining towns in the Western U.S. during the 1800’s.  This image was taken last year at a ghost town in southwestern Montana.  Processing was done to achieve an “older” photo look.

This is an industrial lathe turning a railroad truck.  Heavy cranes lift the truck into place on the lathe and then it’s locked in.  The lathe will then slowly turn, and a cutting bit will true the wheels to absolutely round (+/- .oo1 inch).

There was very little lighting in this railroad shop so I took 5 exposures and blended them to create a HDR type image.  The lens was a 7.5 mm fisheye on my Olympus EM5.  Exposure times were 1 second to 4 minutes at f5.6.

I like to use wine when I cook – and sometimes I add a bit to the food. :-))
