Description
Bodie, California… a town frozen in time in a “state of arrested decay.” Bodie is an original mining town from the late 1800’s. What’s left today stands in a state of “arrested decay” and is maintained by the California State Parks System, who took over the town in 1962 to make it a State Historic Park.
This image of the interior of a general store was photographed with my 18-55mm lens set at 18mm creating a very wide view in to the interior of the store. The state of “arrested decay” poses the practical problem of trying to find a straight line in both exteriors as well as interiors of buildings. The conversion to black and white seemed to me to best sugggest the age and status of the building.

I processed the raw image file shot with a Canon 60D with an 18-55 Canon lens using Photomatix Pro 5, filters from Topaz Labs including Detail 3 and DeJPEG 4 as well as some minor tweaking in Photoshop including sCurve adjustments, brightness, saturation and the camera raw filter to produce this HDR black and white image.
