Just today I discovered this small old cemetary up on a hill. I took this picture with the iPhone, adjusting it a bit in PhotoForge. Then I used PhotoGene to add a subtle sepia tone and soft border to give it an aged look.
Very nice! The cemeteries back east are so great because they date back so far. Here if you see one with graves from the 1800s you feel like you've found an "old" one.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
I am loving this aged effect - and really love how soft the sun is against the sky...I am waiting for a ghost to appear!

ReplyDeleteThe treatment on this image is very effective.
I love the edginess of the cemetery and then the contrast of the sun's warmth shining through the clouds.
