This cemetery is located in Cooperstown, NY, and is a stop on a Ghost Tour you can take during the summer. This location seemed like a pretty good spot for night photography. It was a little challenging, because there is a very strong light on a nearby building, so there are some pretty harsh shadows that limit the angles you can shoot from. However, now that the leaves are gone, the trees have an eerie look about them, so it’s a great time of year for taking some creepy cemetery photos.
This photo was taken with a Canon 50D using a Canon f2.8 40mm pancake lens, and a Vanguard Alta series tripod. ISO was set to 1600, aperture was f8, and a 20 second shutter speed was used. Post processing was done in Photoshop Elements where I did a levels adjustment. It was converted to black and white using Topaz B&W Effects.
