Description

This is in the Golden Gate Cemetery in San Bruno, CA.
When I first visited it, I was kind of shocked to see a headstone only saying 'his wife...x', but feminists be not offended, there were other ones saying 'her husband...y'; The people interred there are military veterans and their families.



Shot Details
This is back to experimenting again, which is code word for learning photography basics. I'm not fishing for anything, but when exposure still confuses you, you call it like it is.
Anyway, I underexposed the shot on purpose, metering at the sky. Then I converted it to B&W in Photoshop with 150% blue filter, 100% green, 50% Cyan, hence the digital darkroom category. It's mainly the blue filter that gave it the 'macabre' kind of look, I think.

So come on, give me critiques my peeps!

PS: There are 3 dark spots in the upper right corner. That means my sensor needs cleaning. Awesome! :)
But I don't feel like stamping them and re-uploading for now.

I used to live across the street from there! And my grandfather is buried there.
