Lessons

I recently went to the Fredericksburg National Cemetery, after I discovered that it was only a two minute walk from my house.

I had the perfect opportunity to go late last week when the weather was nice, to see if I could find any inspiration. I can confidently say that I am very impressed, and will definitely try to make trips back in the future.

Most of the graves, like the one above, were very understated, so they made me really think about how I wanted to capture them. It was a very good exercise in finding how I wanted to frame each shot, because finding a subject was a tad more difficult than usual. Of course, using a low f-stop always helps haha.

If any of you haven't been and want somewhere to take nice photos, I definitely recommend this spot :)

Thanks for taking a gander.
