Here’s a few more from my January 2011 trips to the Presidio Pet Cemetery. Visit the first post in the Presidio Pet Cemetery series to learn more about this exciting and weird location.
This overview from McDowell Road gives the site a sense of scale and placement to the temporary roof over the cemetery, which was removed in December 2011. This 2-minute exposure has a little LED flashlight on the fence, but most of the light here was from the full moon and surrounding work-lights of the construction site.
The tombstone was lit with red LED flashlight, the plants with lime-gelled LED. 26-second exposure–just long enough to do the lighting.
Deep under the roof, the site takes on an intensely gloomy and dark atmosphere. I took advantage of it here, leaving most of the frame dark except for the LED on the fence and grave. The three-minute exposure allowed the foggy background to burn in.
Red-gelled strobe from behind the tombstone, purple-gelled LED on the front, in the shadow area created by the red strobe. The shutter was open just long enough to get the lighting done, in this case, 77 seconds.
