More shots from Grangetown Cemetery - photos for you to use in your Halloween and other posts
Introduction
Here are some more shots from my trip to Grangetown Cemetery.
As before these shots are meant for you to use in your own posts as per Steemit4free. Here is the direct album link on SteemImg.
Processing
I've gone for a more simple process with these ones so I could get more done in time for Halloween. The high contrast curves process that I tried before takes too long and I don't think it makes much of a difference unless you blow the photos up to full size for printing. At web size I think my usual processing technique looks pretty similar.

Sneak Peak at the Angel of the North (Coming Soon)

I haven't had time to really work on these yet but I can't resist experimenting with processing on these when I have spare time.
I haven't decided which I should go for - colour, monochrome or a mixture of both i.e. some shots in monochrome and some shots in colour.

Absolutely amazing. I love old Gothic or Victorian cemetaries. I often visit some for a nice walk. I'm waiting to get camera. Hopefully next week. I'm planning to do a tour around London's Magnificent Seven and post the photos :-)
There is an infinite amount of things to photograph in London. Are you going to get an SLR?
That is true. I'm borrowing DSLR. Nikon D3400 :-)
Cool:)
great photos
Thank you:)
Amazing photos! I will use some in a collage and I will show you in a post.
Thanks I look forward to it:)
I want to go there at night. In the dark alone🙈
I think it is locked at nigh:)
LOVE IT!!! :-D
Thank you:)
I was surprised to read in the end that you used digital camera. All of them besides the last two look like film. :) What kind of processing is it can I ask?
Thanks I don't like the look of digital it is often too clean so I try to make them look like film as much as possible. I use Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 for the black and white processing - they have colour film plugins too. You can download all their plugins for free and the work with Photoshop and Lightroom.

Oh thanks a lot for the link! I actually will need some color film effect for my next project, since I want my pictures to be composited in Photoshop but to look like they are taken in 50s or 6os. Even though in general I prefer using real film. There is nothing that brings me so much joy as developing film in the dark room. :) Do you ever use film?
I've used instant film a few times but it was discontinued shortly after I bought my Polaroid Land Camera a few years ago.
Beautiful shots!
Thank you:)
Love! Soooooooo spooky and ghoulish, too! My faves are 1,9,15,16 although all are quite excellent and have a nice old postcard feel. Super Halloween fun.
I've seen photos of Angel of the North and I'm really looking forward to more of yours in your next series. I like this angle -- there's a nice sense of the angel readying to take off and that's cool! #23 is my favorite
Thank you:)
Very creepy...
I love them.
Thanks:)
