Ophir Mine

I could spend all day taking pictures in that mine, but we only had a few hours. I didn't know what to expect when I entered the mine, but now I know what it's like it's like a siren call. It begs me to continue and take more and more pictures. Unfortunately shooting a mine isn't something you just do. You need people who know what they are doing and have the necessary equipment and experience to know the dangers. But most of all, you need the time to do them. I'd love to join Mojave Underground I rarely have enough free time to join their expeditions. But at least for the trip to Ophir I'd like to thank them greatly for bringing me along.

The mine remains even after we are long gone.

The image was shot over 30 seconds in which time one of the explorers used the table and left a nice ghost.

Beauty

I was told this formation is copper.


Danger

High Voltage. I didn't have long to take this. We were on the move. Normally I wouldn't put something like this up, but I thought it added to the rest of the images.

Rock dump

I can't remember what this was called or exactly what it was for. But there were quite a few of these through were we went.

Transformers

Some old transformers left inside the mine. We were told to avoid contact with them because of the corrosive oil used in them. They were drained but still had residue on them.

April, 1916

Miners left their mark in their mines. This one was from 1916.

I have more photos on my film camera, but it will be a little while before it get them up.

Photographs

So I took some suggestions to heart and started doing photos differently, had some fun with them, take a little longer to take them and plan out how I want them to look in the end. So far I like what I've come up with.

Out of 70 or so pictures, three. I take lots of duplicates. X|
