Walking with the Dead

Another IR project of mine.

Townsville's historic West End cemetery

Nice series.

IR can be over used but it is used to great effect here because it creates a certain atmosphere. Love these.

Wow Matt, the IR completely changes the look of the cemetery. I particularly like the composition of 5 and the effect of the tree branches being backlit by the sun. I was imagining the fragrance from the frangipani carpet in number 3 too.

Hi Matt,

All nice to me…
except the last one… I would suggest a smoother use of vignetting in any case
but this last one is overdone.

More cool images Matt!

Thanks Shadowman, John2 & David. Glad you like them.

Trace, Thanks, yes it does look quite different in IR. I've shot it a few times 'normally' and IR gives it a bit extra mood. The last three are more recent, the frangipannis weren't flowering, which was disappointing. They create a nice atmosphere between the graves.

Kodiak, thanks for your feedback. Yes, the last one is perhaps a little harsh in its processing. I did do a softer version of this headstone on a different angle



Also, I didn't include this one earlier - one of my favourite ladies at the cemetery

The last lady one is awesome!
