Being on the way to Adelaide I used the stopover to wander around local Wimmera Cemeteries as they Beaufort Cemetery and Horsham Cemetery are full of history in great locations well representing the area. I went to Horsham in the late afternoon and then again at 6am the following morning, after all photography is about the light…………..
These are a group of pictures I took, that I believe demonstrate different photographic techniques/thoughts and ideas about cemeteries, they are a place of solitude and a place where you can sit and think. On looking at the set, I really got a documentary feel from them, which I am very proud of as both of the cemeteries I went to are well kept places of great history and so interesting.

| Use lots of contrast, it conveys the true age of the stone. |
