            Nikon F5, Nikkor 24mm f2.8, Kodak Tmax 100, orange filter.

The sky came out really very dark on this one and the vignetting was also pretty extreme. I suppose the wide open aperture of this lens is known for vignetting, and I was metering the headstone, which is probably why the sky is so dark.

Gravestones are not my usual bag, but there was an old house not far from this way backroads cemetery, so I stopped. This one spoke to me. I think it works with the foreground and dark sky, particularly well.
