Fridens Church Cemetery

[leviathan]

I am visiting Rockingham County, Virginia for Christmas, and I came across this cemetery. Apparently it is the oldest cemetery in Rockingham County, with some of its residents' birthdates dating before 1776. This was my first time ever to photograph a cemetery, so I was not entirely sure what to focus on. In hindsight, I probably should've looked at stuff others have done. In the future, I think I would've liked to do more up-close shots, rather than landscape photos of the cemetery. I have many more than what is in this set, but here are a few that I uploaded (the internet is extremely slow where I am staying, so it took a long time just to upload these). I would LOVE any feedback on how they could be improved, what I did well, what to focus on, etc. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Appreciate it. Do you think the one with the church and landscape of the cemetery is too blown out in the sky?

Cemeteries are tough. You did a great job with these. The b/w suits them well, especially given the weather. Very tastefully done. TFS

You captured the mood well.
I love the whole series of pictures.

All of these are great shots. I really like the first one. It looks like something out of a scary movie.
