Cemeteries in Europe are different from the ones I’ve seen in the USA. In Hungary, many people regularly visit their passed relatives in the nearby cemetery and take care of their graves. Not everyone, of course.
I thought that using the Burnside in the local cemetery could work really well. Yesterday I took off to make the visit there, but I had to turn back from the first bus stop due to the dark clouds and the thunder. We ended up with over 4 hours of rain and heavy storms, so the photo trip didn’t happen. But today was a better day and I made it to the cemetery.
First, I visited my grandparents’ graves, then walked around for an hour and kept looking for the right subjects for the Lensbaby Burnside 35 lens. I think I was able to find very interesting ones.

I hope you enjoyed looking at the above images. Using the Burnside seemed like a great option for this subject for many reasons: I felt that the heavy vignette would not only navigate the viewers’ eyes to the main subject, but it would also give the images a melancholic feeling. Although I did do post processing, I didn’t do much. I just exaggerated the effect that was already in the images.​#TravelingBurnsideProject on Instagram
