Life and Death

I wanted to go up to the summit of Mt. Prevost to take some shots, but I got three-quarters of the way up and found the road to the summit was still covered in a lot of snow....I was feeling a little dejected at not being able to get to the mountain top, so I ended up stopping at this cemetery on the way home. This was originally an HDR image, but I thought it was too vibrant considering the subject matter in the background. I ended up with this instead.

Before and after

You gotta love PhotoShop. The above image was my first trial shot of a sunset. It's terrible. The background is way overexposed and the foreground is quite underexposed. After playing around with it for a while in PhotoShop, I managed to come out with this. I probably over-did it, but it's really easy to get carried away when experimenting.
