Artist's Comments

Went to the Cemetry yesterday. Sunset, i discovered, is not perhaps the best time to take photos there; or perhaps i was just not prepared properly. Did get this one good shot that i like. Sunset is always a great time for Silhouette shots.

The cemetry is simply massive, and overlooks the entire city. It's quite peaceful there :-)

Wow, that's just awesome.

Is that Toowong cemetary? I drove past there today and noticed it for the first time.

It is huge.

What is your technique for that faded kinda dull colour which many of you photographs use? (e.g. this one and more so in [link])

Some perfected split-toning technique I'm guessing?

I like it.

one of the most beautiful cemetery shots I've seen.

I love it when you can take something that would be a disadvantage to you (like the time of day you're taking a picture) and using it to get a great photo.

I'm going to say a gradient map on either screen or multiply. But that's just me.

Cemetry at sunset.. sounds like a good idea.

heh nice guess but its neither. i dont use gradient maps that often these days.
tweaked colour slightly though. Most of the gradient appearance is courtesy of good old Olympus :)
