Pet Cemetery

[collum]

There is an old pet cemetery nearby, mostly overgrown, with graves dating back to the 1930's.

I've done a larger project on it using a Hasselblad @ 110/2 lens, but i thought i'd take a walk thru it with an M8 and an old 35 preasph Lux. All are shot wide open

I oft think photographing in the cemetery (pet or human) is a bit cliché but I like how these look - particularly #1 and #4 - good stuff.

Cheers,
Dave

Yeah the softness is really great! That is, fits the subject matter very well.

I love the glow-y effects you've created with your Lux. There is a pet cemetery that I have been watching being overgrown with urban modernization, and shooting every couple months. Documenting the issue of gentrification/modernization: a cliche, I know, but its MY cliche! (everything has been shot before, is that a reason for ME not to shoot it?).
I know I took a pic of this cemetery at one time with a 35 Lux, but i think this shot is with a CV28/1.9 on my M8 or RD1.

thanks all for the comments, and taking the time to.

go to Personal Work, then Pet Cemetery. all of those were shot with a Hassey & Zeiss 110/2 lens (one of the best portrait lenses I've shot with)
