Message from the Photographer: So according to the weather report there is a 20% chance of rain on Saturday in San Francisco, CA. I just hope it doesn't because I really want to take photos from the parade! :) If it doesn't rain, I will most likely go and will show you guys the photos as soon as I can finish processing them. Even if it means I have to hold off on the Death Valley National Park photos. The other reason I kind of want to go is I want to test my Canon GP-E2 GPS to the max. No better place to test accuracy of a GPS than a big city with lots of tall buildings. :P This is pretty much all I want to tell you, so lets move on with the photos.
I will continue with the photos from Rhyolite Ghost Town in Rhyolite, NV for today. The photos will include some HDR compositions, some normal photos, and a panorama. The ghost town itself is not in Death Valley National Park, but falls right outside its boundaries. If you do visit Death Valley National Park, Rhyolite Ghost Town is a must see! If you are into star trails, this is definitely a great place to do one! I even did one myself and it turned out great. :) I will show you the star trails I did soon in a future blog post. Also, if you want to learn how to do star trail photography, I have written up a nice tutorial here. As with all ghost towns, this used to be a very populated area, but as time passed, the place is now deserted. If you want to learn more about Rhyolite, NV, you can read more about it on Wikipedia.
Here is an HDR shot of the Rhyolite Ghost Casino. Not sure why they fence off the buildings and mark them as dangerous and contaminated... Not sure how it can be dangerous and contaminated, but I can see why they would want to fence it off... I can see how people walking on the old building could possibly destroy and degrade them, but can't see how it can be dangerous and contaminated.
HDR compositions of the remains of a house. Not sure what the name of it is.
Another photo of the house.
Here is a photo of the abandoned gas station.

Cook Bank Building. This is the building I did my star trails time lapse at. That photo will be posted later on.
