About the Abandoned Grain Elevator and Silos in\u00a0Megargel, Texas<\/h3>\n

During my photo trips I am always on the look out for side trips and other abandoned vehicles and buildings. One of the unplanned stops I had to take was in the town in Megargel, Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although this town isn\u2019t the smallest town or a ghost town, it does have a quite a few abandoned buildings and cars.<\/p>\n

One set of abandoned buildings that caught my eyes was the grain elevator and the silos lined up along the highway.This abandoned grain elevator and silos take up a good stretch of what could be prime real estate along the highway if the town grew larger.<\/p>\n

About the Image<\/h3>\n

This image was shot with my Sony Nex-3N<\/a> with a Sigma 30mm f2.8 DN E Mount Lens<\/a>, then I processed it with Adobe Lightroom<\/a> to crop, straightened, and remove dust spots from the image. Then I post processed the image with Topaz Labs Clarity<\/a> to add more texture, remove shadows, boost brightness, and contrast. Then processed in Topaz Black & White<\/a> for the right black and white look.<\/p>\n
