  • stopped by the former chief justices' gravesite yesterday. the strong shadow and sky gave me a sense of power fitting for this gentleman

  • The sky looks power fitting not just for this gentleman but for everyone who has
    passed on


  • Appropriately moody without being maudlin.

    Where is he buried?


  • Looks kinda like George Romero pic...pretty cool..."NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIE JUSTICE!"

    LWW


  • you need to get here.....lots to see!!!!!


  • Love the shadow and clouds. Nice work.


  • i like your exposure here... works well :thumbsup:
    neat shot :D


  • Ah, I suspected so. Didn't look familiar, but it's been 25 years since I was there.

    DC is on our list of vacation locations & it's getting near the top. Momma wants to see the cherry blossoms & the Wall wasn't even up yet when last I visited, so there's lots I need to see as well.


  • Wonderful image JonMikal, digging this one a bunch. The clouds, comp and converstion are great, but what takes it over the edge for me is the long shadow of the head stone, it seems symbolic somehow. I have also been appreaciating how your using minimal light in your photographs and isolating the subjects, tricky to do and your pulling it off very well.


  • thanks photobug. there's a section of the arlington national cemetary reserved for supreme court justices. it's located to the right just below kennedys grave.


  • very cool shot Jon, did you use a fill flash?? Also, why is the flag at half mast?

    i purposely underexposed to emphasize the clouds then lightened the stone in PS. i knew if shot this without the adjustment i'd loose the sky.

    flags are at half mast because of Katrina

    thanks guys.


  • :thumbsup: The lighting works well here.


  • I'm workin' on it! :lol:
