Here is a little history about the town of Rhyolite, NV

Gold was discovered in the area by Shorty Harris and E.L. Cross on August 4, 1904. Their “Bullfrog strike” gave rise to a number of gold rush towns that drew prospectors and speculators from surrounding towns such as Goldfield and Tonopah. Rhyolite, named for the deposits of the rock which contained much of the gold, would become the largest of these settlements. The most important operation was the Montgomery Shoshone mine and a mill was constructed to process its ore. The mine was sold to industrialist Charles M. Schwab in 1906 for a reported 5 million dollars. By 1907, the town had electricity with an estimated population of 3,500 to 10,000. The Panic of 1907 is believed to have adversely affected the town’s economy. Production began to slow down by 1908 and the mine and mill were closed in 1911. By 1910 only an estimated 675 people remained in Rhyolite. The lights and power were turned off in 1916. By 1919, the post office had closed and the town was abandoned.

MetalPrints represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. The high gloss coating takes on an almost magical luminescence. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, the archival qualities of this unique process are unparalleled. You’ve never seen a more brilliant impressive print before! Colors are vibrant and the luminescence is breathtaking. Detail and resolution are unsurpassed. To compliment this unique printing method, we have also developed a variety of ultra-modern ways to hang and display your Metal Prints.

Durable archival prints without glass

- Brilliant luminescent images
- Ultra-Hard scratch-resistant surface
- Waterproof/weatherproof
- Can be cleaned easily with any commercial glass cleaner

This is an “HDR” Photograph taken in Rhyolite, NV Ghost Town on the inside of an old abandoned train car.

I shot this using a Nikon D80. 3 exposures Tone Mapping with Photomatix

HDR is a form of photography created by layering multiple exposures of the same photograph, then using a tone-mapping software to adjust the colors, saturation, and brightness.

This is an “HDR” Photograph taken in Nelson, NV I shot this using a Nikon D80. 3 exposures Tone Mapping with Photomatix HDR is a form of photography created by layering multiple exposures of the same photograph, then using a tone-mapping software to adjust the colors, saturation, and brightness. The result is an absolutely amazing combination of brights, darks, and colors so soft, they look like a painting.

Here is a little history about the town of Nelson, NV

Nelson is a town in Clark County, Nevada, in the Las Vegas metropolitan area with a population estimated at 56 in 2006. Nelson is on the Nevada side of the Colorado River about 16 miles north of Cottonwood Cove by water. It is a common misconception that Nelson is on the Nevada side of Lake Mojave[citation needed], but in fact Nelson is upstream by about 16 miles. Nelson is about 25 miles from Boulder City by road. One of the biggest mining booms in state history occurred near here, in the El Dorado Canyon. Gold and silver were discovered here around 1859. In its heyday, the city established a reputation for being rough and lawless. During the American Civil War, deserters from both the Union and Confederate armies would wander there, hoping that such an isolated location would be the last place military authorities would look for them. Nelson’s Landing, about five miles west in Eldorado Canyon, is noted for washing into Lake Mohave in 1974 after a strong downpour in the regional mountains sent the runoff down the channels and produced a flash flood. There are five wide channels that run from the local mountains toward the river. The problem is that they all converge into a small outlet where Nelson’s Landing was. The entire landing and village was destroyed and nine people died when the flood came through the wash. The wall of water and debris was reported as about 40 feet (12 meters) high as it reached the river. Much of the town of Nelson, which was not impacted by the 1974 flood, remains today and is located way up the wash, away from the flood channels. The sparsely populated town consists mainly of privately owned ranch houses, and a river and mining tour business housed in a former Texaco gas station that has been used as a filming location for several feature films, including 3000 Miles to Graceland.
