Symbolism in a Graveyard

[dadwtwins]

I went out shooting today to try and find a shot for the #7 challenge. I thought I would go to my fav graveyard hang out:huh and see what communicates to me as a good shot:D.

I choose the Sun Deity pic but I still wanted to post some of the other ideas I had.:thumb

Hi Daniel,

Nice series! Agree that your Sun Deity is fantastic (the clouds/fog? below her add to the drama) :clap

I also really like #1 & 2.

Thanks for sharing,

All really really good photos, but I think this is the winner of the set!

These are IR shots, correct?

Nice set of images. Since you said you went there to communicate.............. did anything communicate with you? :D

Personally, i really like the first one as well. I found more irony in this famous graveyard than any place I have seen.

Thanks April. You are correct, these are all IR shots:wink ....and gee, i wonder who got me totally hooked on IR:scratch :rofl

No conversion, this is straight out of the camera with an adjustment to the WB in camera.

I converted a nikon D80 to an IR camera, adjusted the WB against a patch of grass at high noon. With these two modifications, the pictures come out black and white. These mods also prevent the usual red hue that is associated with a Digital IR shot straight out of the camera.

Nice set of images. Since you said you went there to communicate.............. did anything communicate with you? :D

Looking forward to meeting you Skippy. April talks none stop about your whirlwind of tourism while you were here last. It looks like you next trip out will be no less hectic. :wink
