Close Up Photography at Vulture Mine in Arizona
Arizona Photography, Phoenix Area Photography 2 CommentsThese are some additional photos I shot at Vulture Mine near Wickenburg, AZ. They are details of the various pieces of mining equipment scattered around this Arizona ghost town. Using a more shallow depth of field in some images allowed me to draw the viewers attention to a particular part of the subject or to blur out a distracting background. This lends itself well to close up detail shots such as these.
f/2.2 – 1/250 sec – ISO 100 – Focal Length 50 mm![Vulture City ghost town remnants Photo of an old machine dial](http://shuttermike.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/DSC05117-1024x818.jpg)
