In Memoriam
Shot Thoughts & Background Info—- Fairmont Cemetery in Denver is one of my all time favorite places to shoot at, especially during the Autumn months. It is quite old with headstones dating to when Denver was barely even a city. Quite massive in size, many of the structures contained within it are fascinating examples of architectural style. For this shot, I really wanted something different, so when I was shooting it I made sure to use my Minolta 18-200 DT lens so I could go ultra wide and capture as much as I could I had an idea already in my head for the post work, and for the most part I think it works as I had planned. I really wanted something moody, heavy on the atmosphere, that provoked thought in people when they saw it. Something that made them stop and think for a second. HDR Processed.

You’ve captured the mood and atmosphere magnificently John.
That is a fascinating structure and the wide angle really adds to the magnificent scale of it all.

Excellent work John it has a serene almost dreamlike feel to it, almost like the trees beyond the shadow are leading you to another place.
