This very old (400 yr) Catholic Cemetery downtown is a very interesting place, and is spooky at night!

This was shot with a Nikon F2S and 105mm f/1.8 AIS Nikkor and a 25A filter on Tri-X and developed in D-76 undiluted and hot (75º) to accentuate the grain. The image is scanned off the negative with no post processing. I think the grain and high contrast gives the image kind of an eerie feel. Btw, the grave with the large cross on the left side, dates back to 1705 I believe.

I like the idea, but the trees ruin it for me. It just makes the image seem to busy (for me atleast). It definitely has an eerie feel to it though.

Edit: After really looking at it again, Im starting to like it more and more. Im thinking about getting into film. I have an old Canon AE-1 sitting around in my room but the sensor is filthy.
