Last weekend was great! The photo shoot at Glendale Cemetery in Akron, Ohio was so awesome. Who would ever think a cemetery could be so delightful? Well it is worth the drive to just walk around this lovely place. The grounds are so peaceful and so beautiful. I have never seen so many elaborate tombstones, statues and the mausoleums were so ornate and so many of them. I took over 1000 shots. Of course, I did 5 frames for each shot so I could process in HDR. It was a great day for photography!
I met one of the members at the cemetery and she invited Wendy and myself to meet with her the next day at the Chippawa Amusement park for another day of shooting! Wendy and I were just talking about the amusement park and how I missed the shoot last year. Lo and behold we meet Dee by chance and she invites us to tag along with her and the Cleveland Photography Club. We jumped on it right away. How excited we were for Sunday to come. The amusement park is scheduled for demolition and this may have been our only chance to photograph the ruins.
So up early again and on the road. Wendy and I arrived around 10:30 am. It was a great day again. The sun was bright and it was hot out. Great light for HDR again. And that is what we shot. The park is so overgrown with trees and shrubs. But we got some great shots. I am so glad to have gotten to photograph the park. It would be great if it would not be leveled. I hear that a few of the rides will be moved to a park across the road for display.
