November walk at a cemetery and creating photoetudes in colour vs black and white
Today I present you eight photos from one of my favorite St. Petersburg cemeteries. Autumn is a great time to check this place, cause the area becomes bare, devoid of cheerful flowers and greenery, dead leaves themselves remind of death, trees sadly stretch their arms of their branches to the sky, and tombstones are clearly visible, unlike in summer (when the greenery of the trees strongly masks and hides them). The melancholic autumn nature itself calls to come for a walk in the cemetery, and of course every time I come not alone, but with a camera. I processed all today's photos twice - in color and in monochrome. I will be glad to hear which versions you liked more.
Сегодня я хочу показать 4 фотографии с прогулки по моему любимому некрополю Новодевичьего женского ставропигиального монастыря в Санкт-Петербурге. Осень самое подходящее время для разглядывания кладбищенских красот; пейзаж освобождается от зелени и веселых цветов, палые листья сами собой навевают мысли об увядании всего живого, простирают ветви к небу, и в отличие от лета надгробия хорошо видны - никакая зелень их не маскирует. Меланхоличная осенняя природа зовет прогуляться на кладбище, и разумеется я прихожу не один, но с камерой. Сегодняшние снимки я обработал в цвете и в монохроме; буду рад услышать, какие версии вам больше понравились.
On one of the gravestones I came across a puddle left by the rain - not a very pretty thing in itself, but the dead leaves that fell into it and the reflection of the bare branches of the trees made it spectacular. Which version clicked better for you?
The chapel did not look too spectacular, but the huge cross at one of her walls did. A good occasion for the monochrome capture.
The last maple leaf left. Looked very touchy - mind, it wasnt a stick, but a whole little maple tree! with only one leaf left...
Roof of a chapel: new life.
Now that was all, let me say good bye here. Thanks for walking with me, see you next time!

That first shot is truly amazing! A work of art at it's finest! That one blew me away. I like old cemeteries too, they can be so quiet and peaceful. In New Orleans the cemeteries are worth visiting, because they're all mausoleums above ground because the water table is right below the surface. Pretty place!
You got some great shots there! I love the green on top of the old mausoleum. Cool!
!BEER
wow?! is it somewhere near you? please take time if its accessible for exploration and shooting, would be very very intresting to look at it. (Recently I started to share my pics in the Cemeteryporn Reddit as well... they meet a welcoming attitude there too!) that can be pretty rewarding, all in all. And... 😎 !BEER
No it's in Louisiana, I've been there several times in the past for conferences but I haven't been back since the big Hurricane several years back when the whole city was flooded. They may have people near New Orleans in that group, you might ask!
