This was taken inside the Standard Mill at Bodie State Historic Park, where long distance electric power transmission lines were built by Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. to supply power to the mill in 1893. The power came from Green Creek over 12 miles away, where a hydroelectric plant was built. This was one of the first applications of long distance electric power lines. Prior efforts in urban areas ran into difficulties transmitting power at distances over 3 miles.
This is a single exposure shot in RAW format, post-processed in Adobe Lightroom. This was taken during our workshop on October 13, 2013. All of our workshops involve special access not available to typical park visitors. We're waiting for 2014 dates for sunset/night and sunrise/interior access: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/

Like a "Time Machine"?
Interior…YES…
muy interesante gracias!:)
wonderful HDR
No HDR in this one +sankar nair, but I have another image from this building where I tried three different treatments in +Adobe Photoshop Lightroom after doing the best I could with Photomatix HDR. I may post that image to G+ later today if I have time.
Pinched from Tessler I expect Westinghouse tried every other dirty trick to discredit him,and succeeded,!
wow that is some great exposure…for some reason i thought this was a subtly done HDR image..
I do sometimes use HDR to produce realistic images, but in this case I was able to recover sufficient highlight and shadow detail from the RAW file captured on my Canon 5D Mark III.
I do have another photo shoot from that back corner of this room towards the bright windows which did need 5 exposures and HDR, and I'll probably use 7 exposures next time to better capture the outside details seen through the windows.
Thank you for NOT HDR-ing this one.
So Good
Great photo! But now you have me trying to remember all four of Maxwell's equations;)
WhaT MACHine is this?
that is one badass electromagnet. want. i bet it seriously messes with the operators body electric field. i wonder if there arent health or mental effects from being near it.
Superb Jeff, This is rare power engine photo.
