What is it about cemeteries that catches my interest. I’m not morbid. There is something about them that is artistic. We have patterns, shapes, colors, and shadows, all of which my photographers eye is drawn to. On this specific morning I was not headed for the cemetery but as I turned the corner and saw the light, I had to pull in and spend some time there. Starbursts can change the feeling of an image. Without this starburst this image would have less impact. By using an aperture of f11 I was able to attain the star effect but shooting into the sun does bring out the lens flare. Oh well, the image works for me and hope is does for you.

Cemeteries intrigue me. I especially love to find old ones out in the country and wonder about the folks that walked this earth at one time. I love the light in this one...you captured the sun spectacularly! I love that you got this shot! Well done! V

It works perfectly for me and gives the scene a certain drama.... what a good job you stopped there!
