Description: This afternoon I shot some photos in a cemetery in Jericho, Vermont. I achieved the look of this photograph via various levels of post processing. I began by creating a duplicate layer of the original. Then I messed with the contrast, saturation and curves (and probably a few other settings) until I got the desired background look. Then I selected the top layer (the duplicate) and erased everything but the grave stone. Then I adjusted the contrast for the graves stone to make it pop out of the photo. Then I put a Gaussian blur on the background layer. And there you have it. Today’s image of the day.
About the project: The ‘Things I Saw’ photography project began January 7, 2008. Since then I have shot, edited and posted one photograph per day – every day. As of October 01, 2009 I had taken a total of 22109 images, 634 of them made it to the Things I Saw photo gallery. Take a look at all of Things I Saw photo galleries here.
This month marks the 22nd month in a row for my Things I Saw photo galleries project. I shot 1226 photographs during the month of October. Since there are 31 days in this month you will see 31 photos in the gallery. In this gallery you will find photographs of things like: leaves, Camel’s Hump, pumpkins, Halloween and many others. All photographs were shot in Vermont by me, Michael McKennedy.
