    ...November Photo Project: The Cemetery...

    Well it's that time again. It's the new Photo Project!

    "The Cemetery"

    This is a slight change from what I had originally planned, but I was inspired by a show I had seen on PBS called "A Cemetery Special", and man I just couldn't wait to get out a visit some dead folks. So guess what my friends, now it's your turn!

    Get out there and get some pictures of you favorite "End Of The World" hang out!

    So come on guys lets have even more business this month!

    Hope this fits - I'll be shooting more in cemetaries - but here is my first.

    This isn't the best technically speaking - but it sure is old. ;)

    This was taken at the Jacksonville Memorial Gardens in Orange Park, Florida.

    It was one little part of a small array of tiny monuments to a dead child.

    Re: ...November Photo Project: The Cemetery...

    Thanks Almo,

    Actually I was out yesterday (Sunday) for about an hour and ran across a very old cemetary. I had a difficult time with the lighting as it was mid-afternoon and the sun was extremely bright - with the shadows from the trees in the cemetary there was too much contrast, so I wasn't pleased with any my shots. This was a "good" one.

    This is a nice shot - you did great with the lighting - I should have brought you along to help with the contrast on my shots.

    It's very nice.

    I have a series from a Confederate Soldier Cemetery in Fredericksburg, VA. Hope I haven't over done it.

    Almo, do we shoot them now? Or can they be old shots?

    Well, technically the point of the project is to inspire and prompt you to go out and shoot something new, but I won't tell if you don't... ;)

    I wanna play too

    I took a ride in the rain this afternoon and found this little cemetary out in the country.

    Oh man! The first and third are astounding! That angel looks as though it just fluttered up and had a seat to look at that grave. You used the rain and light very well.

    Re: ...November Photo Project: The Cemetery...

    After a long absence I have returned to photography, galvanized by my new digital SLR. And what do I see - a project with my favorite subject!!

    Here are some shots I took at a small graveyard just down the road from my house. Still getting the hang of this digital stuff, so pardon my uploads aren't pretty.

    Here is another shot from the same spot I found the little headless angel.

    Thanks for the kind words Almo. Here's another version from today. It was bright and sunny today so I did a little selective desaturation to add a little "mood" to the image.

    From the same cemetary as the others.

    Here's another from the digital body. Difficult lighting, but I work on B Island and it's sometimes hard to get away from my desk when the light is good. {eyeroll} Damn employers and their priorities.

    They call this, "Baby-Land"

    When I realized whom I was standing amongst it was all I could do to keep my eyes from welling up.

    It's kinda hard to tell by this image, but the markers in this small section are only a third the size of the others in the cemetery. And I swear the air feels different there.

    Re: ...November Photo Project: The Cemetery...

    wow, those are some awesome shots there almo!

    here's three more from this morning.

    The first shot is from the Col. John McCrae memoral (yes, the same Col. McCrae that wrote "In Flanders Field"). The second one is of a tombstore with a rather worn canadian flag. The last is of a piper who was with the rememberance day service and would pipe by your loved one's grave. (All taken with the Dimage Z2)

    Here are a couple of shots from Normandy, I thought with the war in Iraq it may be fitting to post something from a war memorial. Hope these fit in.
