This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the Both of Us | Feb. 14, 2013 | 2:46pm | Bannack Ghost Town, Montana | f/5.6 | 1/160 | Canon EOS Rebel T3
I loved the dramatic shadows on this shot. I bumped up the saturation and lowered the exposure in camera raw, and then I experimented with the “cappuccino” setting in a sepia toning action made by ~paranoidstock on deviantart.com. It turned out far too dark, so I manipulated the hue and saturation levels and turned off one of the adjustment layers to get the effect you see here.

This is an organ in the doctor’s house. When I think of organs I think of the massive one in the Salt Lake City Conference Center, so this was particularly interesting to me. The doctor that once owned this old house must have been a music lover, because his home hosted not only an organ but a piano as well.

This might be my favorite shot of the whole trip. I used camera raw to lower the saturation and add a shadowy vignette.

This gavel and top hat were laying on a table near a window in the Masonic Temple. The park ranger told us that the identification numbers used for this sect of the Free Masons was used to denote vigilantes. Law and Order, wild west style.

I snapped this shot while the model was posing for another photographer. I liked her wistful gaze. I used Camera Raw to reduce the saturation.

The detail on the window of this church was the first thing that really caught my eye when I entered Bannack. I got this photo of it as we were leaving for the day. I used camera raw to deepen the shadows, blacks, and whites, and added a vignette to get more contrast.
