The main cemetery in Shippensburg sits just outside of downtown on a hill on Morris St. It goes back to the mid 1800s or so, and while I've wandered it several times since I've been here, I still haven't managed to find any stones that attracted my interest. But today I went looking for wide-angle shots - groupings, as it were - and I have to admit that this fairly prosaic burial ground has some interesting views, especially now in the Fall. Add to that some fooling around in Photoshop and some judicious use of the Exposure 2 plug-in and I achieved an effect I like - a little antique and somewhat ethereal. See what you think!

The color bits definitely add something, but I'm not sure what. I do like it.
ReplyDeleteI find these very striking--great Photoshop work!
ReplyDeleteGreat, judicious use of the colorful patches. I've always loved old cemeteries, the older the better. But I'd love to tour them, seeing them with your eyes.
