Preston Castle in Ione, California has long been a favorite of photographers, even featuring special photographer-only tours. This "castle" actually used to be a juvenile correction facility. It's long been abandoned tough, and its' spooky, decaying interiors are quite interesting. It's one of the first places where I perfected my hand-held HDR-BW technique. All the shots in this gallery are HDR and were shot hand-held.
