Introduction
A couple of weeks ago I visited a graveyard in Newcastle.
I wasn't able to edit all the shots at the time, here are the remainder of the shots which I've just had a chance to do.
It was actually quite a weird day because it was very cloudy and quite sunny. It had just rained and there was a some strange streaky clouds in the sky. In addition there seemed to be a lot of planes flying around creating contrails.
These all combined to create some strange cross hatch type patterns in the sky and also resulted in sudden changes in contrast and dynamic range.
Most of these latter shots were taken when the sun was poking out from behind these clouds which created a lot more contrast.
I thought they would be ideal to process in monochrome as a result of that.
I have also include a couple of redone versions of my favourite gravestones from the previous time (the Jesus/angel sculptures) in case anyone wants to compare how they look in monochrome (they are at the end).
If there are any others you would particularly like me to reprocess/edit in monochrome please let me know. Also let me know if overall you prefer monochrome edits or the false colour ones I usually do.
Hope you like them.
As always feel free to use them in your own posts as per Steemit4free.

Black and white makes the photos so much more poignant and the clouds in the background enhance the feeling. Next time I am near a graveyard I might just have to stop by and see what treasures it holds.

Thanks yes - it is sad that many of these graveyards have no visitors. There are certainly treasures to be found in them!
