I take a lot of photos in cemeteries. Besides the fact that the local cemetery is the nicest place in town, landscape wise, certainly nicer than the park, I like visiting it for all of the textures and history. When I travel I actually seek out old cemeteries, the older the better. And although I am a fan of the…

How about something different (from me at least)?
Different from the things I usually post on here but not too different from what a lot of other people shoot. A doe, a deer, a female deer, with a bit of a drop of golden sun thrown in. Sure I have shot deer before (photographically speaking, I’m not a hunter), but most of the photos have been somewhat lame.…
I went to the cemetery expecting to shoot black and white
But after I got home and reviewed the images I found that a majority of them worked better in color. Maybe it was because it was nearing sunset and the light was nice or maybe because I just wasn’t seeing the textures I was expecting. Either way it was a decent shoot considering I spent barely a half hour there.…
Not staying within the lines
It looks like the fall color is coming to an end soon, judging by what I saw today while driving around. That’s too bad, because I found a new life with it after getting bored taking “normal” shots, I started to experiment. I found the color a nice backdrop, and sometimes even the “subject”, for my multi-exposure photos. Considering the…
Impressions in the cemetery
I don’t know what draws me to the cemetery but I like to visit it more often than I should – to look for photos, of course. I do like the details and textures that are abundant, especially in the older graves and tombs. There is also wildlife and plants and trees to add to the mix. When I have…
A snowy day at the cemetery
In response to my last post….we got snow! Not a major amount but it was snowy and cold enough to feel like winter for a change. So in order to take advantage of it, I thought I would try to take some pictures while I was out today. I figured I would visit the city cemetery to grab some shots since it’s…
365-190 Stone walled
Visited the cemetery again today because I was trying to find an animal to shoot. The animals in the cemetery are accessible since they are used to humans, which makes it somewhat easier to get photos. I wanted an animal to continue my intentional camera movement experiments and I wanted something else that was moving also. There were some geese at the…
Cemetery Part 2
Just a few more shots from the cemetery as I promised on May 4th.
365-124 Cemetery Part 1
One of those days again where I didn’t get out until late. The town is looking uninspiring lately and the lighting was drab anyhow so I cruised through the cemetery again to find some textures and details. I’ll add some more tomorrow when I have more time. Adios. Waves
365-96 The park was so ugly yesterday…
…I decided to drive through the cemetery again. I think I saw more signs of life there ;-). I mean there were more people, some just out for a walk, some doing cemetery things, and there were a few buds in the trees. So it was a little nicer than the park was. I took some pictures of a few…
