I made a little trip to Iowa City today to take some pictures of the Black Angel at Oakland Cemetery. You can read her story here: http://www.prairieghosts.com/oakland.html A lot of my pictures from Iowa City were poorly exposed - I am trying to work in manual mode - so I headed out to a cemetery here in Cedar Rapids to try again and had much better luck. Then, I decided that I needed to head to Morgan Creek Park. You have all seen this shot - I have taken it several times, but the sun was just right. LOL. .JPG)

You can really see the damage to her from vandalism in the second photo. I could tell that she was visited far more than any other spot in the cemetery. There were tons of footprints - you can see them in the first photo - I had only walked around her once at this point.

Beautiful lightning! love the first one with the sun through the tees!
Marsha! I think you did a great job on the exposure in manual mode! Way to go! Very nice graveyard shots! I like them a lot. And, I love your sun shot at the top too. ;) Keep your graveyard shots kicking around... they get really useful as overlays and blended into photoshop for a more gothic feel. Nice work girl!
stunning shots!
