Challenge: Free Study X (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Lens: Canon EF 70-210mm f/4.0
Location: Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, MA
Date: Jan 25, 2006
Aperture: 4
ISO: 800

Date Uploaded: Jan 31, 2006

 My favorite break from work is to stroll through this huge old cemetery across from my office. On this stroll I used f/4 at 210mm exclusively and looked for interesting headstones with good bokeh-material in the background.

Postprocessing: no crop or spot-editing of any kind. Fiddled a lot with curves, shadow/highlight, B&W conversion via "DigiDan's Action", and duotone with just a hint of blue in the light grays.

I'm a little surprised at the score on this one, even given it's a Free Study - this is a very simple and lovely picture. The chosen stone stands far enough away from the rest that it creates an excellent balance without being busy, and the tones you ended up with are perfect.

Pretty tones...the shallow DOF is also nicely effective.

Very nice. I like the simple nature of this and how its off center to show others blurred in the background.

Very nice capture. THere is lots of detail in the old stone, and I love the blurred stones in the background.
