Marysville, MT

Old Marysville, MT. One of several old mining towns left for dead over the years around the Helena area. I shot this pic using Canon 50D and Sigma 18-250mm lens, ISO-100 f/11 for 1/100sec exposure and sunlight white balance at 28mm focal length. I like the contrast of textures with stone and wood and the large crack in the upper stone front added nice character to the shot.

One of my favorite subjects to shoot. It is a shame that not everyone can have Jay Leno money to save these old cars and Montana has a lot of them but at least i can capture them in pictures. I snapped this one with Canon 50D and Canon 50mm lens. ISO-100 at f/11 for 1/800 sec exposure and sunlight white balance setting. I converted to B&W in post editing and adjusted contrast, color temp and tint to optimize the gray tones and shadows.

Leaning but still standing. Weathered wood and snow just make for great contrast and texture...I used Canon 50D with Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens. ISO-100, f/11 for 1/50sec exposure at 95mm focal length and sunlight white balance setting.

old main street

What once boomed as the old mining companies sucked the mountains of their treasures now stand as skeletal monuments of a lost community. A few empty hulls stand on old main street in Marysville, MT I shot this with Canon 50D and Canon 50mm lens. ISO-100, f/11 at 1/40sec exposure and sunlight white balance setting.

I liked this because of its simple representation of mountain life in Montana. Shot using Canon 50D with Canon 50mm lens, ISO-100, f/11 at 1/100 sec exposure and sunlight white balance setting.
