Teffont: St. Michael's Churchyard, Wiltshire

I photographed this at the 18mm end of an 18-55mm lens. In general, I prefer to stand off a bit from my subject, but occasionally it is satisfying to get up close and fill the frame with foreground interest. However, you can't really use this technique on strangers in the street. They tend to be unnerved by it, and rightly so. I turned down the saturation a bit; it seemed somehow inappropriate to make memorials to the departed vivid. I am beginning to think I overdo the saturation a bit generally, but the effect of Fuji Velvia is memorable.
