In The Round, Take 2

A much better effort than yesterday's, in a much more conducive location. I've discovered in Ancestry that I have a large number of relatives buried in one cemetery, so we decided to take a road trip out there to see. With the help of their wonderful staff, we got the locations for most of my relatives, and maps so we could find them on their 450 acres. I saw this old, dead tree at one point, and thought it would make a much better subject for the Pep Ventosa Technique than what I tried previously. I think this one came out much better.

An excellent take on the Pep Ventosa technique. And the “Ghostly” images are well suited to a cemetery location. How many images did you use?

[Steve Chappell]

@k9photo Thank you! I used 14 images in this one. I've read that some people will use over 100 images, but that seems to me like it would make photoshop cry. And for this one, I really wanted to be able to distinguish the headstones in a ghostly way; too many more shots and I think they just would have become a splotch of gray.

You have really captured the Pep Ventosa technique. I really like the subtle hint of the cemetery.

Well done, it is an amazing image.

@wakelys Thank you! I was trying to preserve that aspect as much as possible.

I think the adjustments you made did the trick. This is very dreamy and the subject stands out nicely against the greenery in the background.
