A photographic view in monochrome.... I use various techniques to enhance and give atmosphere to the images....... I enjoy breaking the so called photographic rules. I have a special interest in the genre of mystical landscapes,gothic buildings and graveyards, crumbling castles,haunted houses,ruins, grotesques and gargoyles.

Cemetery Chapel.....
This is the chapel at the Plymouth road cemetery in Tavistock, Devon UK.
It is a grade 11 listed building circa 1880 and a gift to the town from the then Duke of Bedford.
It is a very elaborate design for a cemetery chapel. It is built in the French Gothic style with buttresses, octagonal angle turret, psuedo machicolations and a massive porch.
It was designed by Henry Clutton and made of local Dartmoor granite.
I have passed the cemetery on many occasions but I have never taken an image of the chapel.
Last week I headed down to Plymouth road with my Fujifilm camera with a plan to capture and create an antique looking photograph with a sense of sinister mystery about it.
Looking at this final image I think that I may have achieved my photographic objective - do you agree?
What do you think?
