The pho­tos in this gallery were shot in and around Leadville Col­orado. Leadville is an old min­ing town set at an ele­va­tion over 10000 feet above sea level. Vis­it­ing the old build­ings around the town bring up thoughts of  ghosts from the 1880’s. Each photo  in this Gallery starts off as 3 sep­a­rate pho­tographs at 3 dif­fer­ent expo­sures  and com­bined with a process called HDR or High Dynamic-Range. This allows one to see the detail in the shad­ows and high­lights. It also has the abil­ity to cre­ate some pretty cool spe­cial effects.
