    Default Mountaintop Cemetary

    On my latest trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains, my brother-in-law took me up a hair-raising fire service road to the top of a mountain with this small cemetery. The shed covers rows and rows of church pews all painted in very faded different colors of paint (blue, red, green, white). We were in a hurry and I'll definitely go back next time when I have more time and several lenses to explore all the possibilities. I used an OnOne Glow preset in LR5, then a soft focus Topaz Adjust.

    Now that looks like the ideal place to film a creepy horror movie, looks good with the effect chosen, but definitely go back and photograph this scene from a few angles ...very interesting

    Very interesting image and nice, soft treatment. The charm of the scene is almost a contrast to the somber purpose of the place, and this makes the image even more intriguing. I like the look a lot!

    I like the composition with the fg flowers and trees leading to the shelter. The detail in the trees with the over all softness of the image is appealing. I would love to visit the Blue Ridge Mountains in the early spring.
