Chinese Cemetary Infra Red

tomcat · 23rd July 2005

Lunar 7th month is around the corner. Thought I would take a few shots in infra red at the Lim Chu Kang Chinese Cemetary just to get into the mood of things.

Cheers

No... but if it happens, would be a bonus.

Ok, the IR effect really works for the photo. I cant say much but it does gives me the creeps now. Cheers!

Well, it really depends on who would take offence, the living or the dead.
In any case, only one pic showed names that are clearly discernible and I only took that pic because I really like the shape of the tombstones which are very unique looking, to me at least. I would remove the image if the relatives saw this post and objected to it, of course.

IMO, I feel that such images are no more rude than those of living people who got snapped unwittingly in street photos or candid shots, or of dead and mutilated animals that get posted on this and other similar forums every now and again.

In any case, I did asked permission and begged pardon from the 'occupiers' before taking photos of their homes as I was taught from young to do in such related matters.

Cheers

Sure, no problem. Do you shoot IR too?

psygnosis · 28th July 2005

I've tried once but it doesnt come out the way i want it to be. Oh well, perhaps there's something i missed out or perhaps im bad at the composition. Then again, i should take more and get to know the work flow. Perhaps you could teach me a thing or two.

i'm always up for cemetery shoots too (with the sun out of course

)
