A Point of Comparison

My friend Earl Moore and I spent some time wandering around Washington, NC a few weekends ago.   One of the places we visited was the graveyard at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.  We were only there for about 15 minutes, but we both got a variety of shots.

It’s always interesting to see the results when different photographers visit the same place, especially at the same time.  I won’t clutter this post up with a bunch of words, but I do have a few of my own photos from this visit.  There are definitely some similarities to what we saw and shot, but just as many differences.

What fun!

  1. Interestingly different but similar — nice images, Tom. Wish I’d gotten the red door! 🙂

    It would be interesting for both of us to shoot as near the same shot as possible and and compare the unaltered RAW files to see how different or similar the Canon and Nikon defaults are…especially since we’re talking almost the same sensor size/pixel count.

    1. Thanks, Earl. As I processed that photo I wished that I had gotten closer to the red door!

      It would be an interesting comparison, I think to look at files of the same subject in the same conditions from different cameras. That’s not something I’ve ever done.

  2. I’ve wandered in a few graveyards with camera. One aspect of those back east is the age and history of these cemeteries. I have had chances to stand next to fellow photographers and agree we have different and similar results. Even the focal length and crops make a huge difference. Great series, Tom.

    1. That’s true, Monte. There are some very old headstones in some of these graveyards. Sometimes some pretty old photographers, too! 😉
