Ruddington graveyard

I took a few snaps on my lunch today. I popped out to do a chore in Ruddington, Nottingham and briefly visited the same church I photographed on day 68. I've been wanting to do a shoot in a graveyard (morbid I know), so I took the opportunity to take a few photos.

In post-processing I increased the clarity and played with curves in Lightroom to bring out the highlights. I then added a vintage mask in Photoshop and reduced the opacity to 80 per cent to bring out some of the colour.

I'll be spending much of tomorrow preparing for something personal. I can't say what, but this means I won't be spending much time on my daily photo. I know the quality of my photos have suffered over the last few days, but normal service will resume on Wednesday!

I don't know why but I love cemetary shots...this one is very nice. It's not all dark & scary like most of them! Great image! :)

The older graveyards have so much character. Good picture.

Nice shot . . .

I like this too. @bluemoon is right, there's something about cemetery photos.

Good luck on whatever tomorrow's thing is that you can't say. :-)

Nothing morbid about liking to shoot in cemeteries. Not to me, anyway, I LOVE them! Really cool shot--love the processing.

[Steve Harvey]

Great shot Vik, I also really like taking shots in cemetaries. Not sooo morbid. :)

Amazing, Fantastic textures. Even though it's a graveyard, it looks so alive.

It would take forever just to count the textures in this! Awesome.

Beautiful. I love the textures and the composition. I want to go take pics in a graveyard to, there is so many things to see there.
