Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY in the late Autumn.Time
Evening and early morning are the best times to shoot cemeteriesLighting
A touch of sundown added the needed light. A longer exposure with the camera on a tripod helps get maximum needed light and sharpness.Equipment
Nikon D300 with an 18 - 200mm lensInspiration
I shoot cemetery photos and every once in a while, I get something that I did not see in the viewfinder. These have made it into my books called "Ghosts In The Cemetery" and "Ghosts In The Cemetery II, Farther Afield". My books are available at Amazon or your favorite bookshop.Editing
All photos are "improved" in Photoshop. Nighttime photographs need some work to look their best as to lighting, detail, etc.In my camera bag
Now, a Nikon D610 full frame camera with a Nikon 70-200 zoom and Nikon 24-85mmFeedback
I don't know of anyone who captures similar photos. I can only suggest that you visit cemeteries at sundown or sunrise and see what you get.
