Foto Friday - Burial Hill Cemetery
Hello everyone.
Today's photo(s) are an attempt to get us into the spirit for the upcoming Holiday, Halloween. This is a 15 shot, light painting on Burial Hill in Plymouth Massachusetts.
Burial Hill is a historic cemetery or burying ground on School Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Established in the 17th century, it is the burial site of several Pilgrims, the founding settlers of Plymouth Colony.
To say the least, is was a bit creepy while we were there capturing these scenes. One kept an eye open for anything, unnatural that is.
For the Technology Geeks, the final compilation was combined from 15 separate shots. Each shot was 10s, F11, ISO 100, 24mm, on a tripod. When the exposure was triggered with a wireless remote trigger, I would use an LED flashlight to "paint" light onto the Tombstones. Some of the Tombstones required multiple shots on them to capture the shadows on on faces of the stones. I've included the 1st and 4th shot so you can see how each area is captured separately. Once captured and cleaned up in Lightroom, the 15 shots are brought into a single Photoshop file as 15 layers. Once there, the ascending shots are put into a "Blend Mode" of "Lighten", to easily blend them into the overall shot.
Hope you enjoy!
