Close Up Photography at Vulture Mine in Arizona

These 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.

Thanks Alex. You guys should definitely get out there. It is a little bit staged for tourists, but still a great place to shoot.
