Thank you Judy for this excellent presentation. Thank you for the tips and tricks. I appreciate your knowledge and understanding of photography of headstones.
Greatest!!
Excellent presentation. Gave a lot of information that I did not know! Not only the information on the grave site but to photograph the head stone and what you can do after you take the photograph
I learned lots of new tricks and tools to photograph in a cemetery.
Good job
These tips about how to take photographs was invaluable. Thought a lot about the story. I thought about a small cemetery I went to In New Mexico and seeing the small cement handmade stones of the small babies and children. It was touching to see how important it was to those poor families, many of my relatives were among them, wanted to let the world know this child existed and was buried there.
Excellent!!
Very informative, well delivered to be easily understood.
