If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks! This is a really nice little church by a graveyard in the south of Iceland. It was pretty much out in the middle of nowhere, as you can tell. The gate with the cross on the top leads to a tiny and lonely graveyard. Graveyards are always interesting and macabre places for photography, and the mood changes dramatically depending on the time of day. I notice there are a few things that are "Mood Amplifiers" in photos. These are items to include in your photo to take whatever mood is being conveyed to the next order of magnitude. These include: graveyards, churches, dogs, pretty women, miniature horses, and blood. I've been trying to think of a way to include all of these elements into a single mind-blowing photo, but a clear path has yet to present itself.

good morning everyone, i loved this foto...watched harry potter this weekend...was a great movie...it was very sad at the end :( but the very ending made up for it...but still sad, it's such a fantasy movie isn't it?...while i was at the movies again...i'm not sure why incidents always happen while i'm going to a movie? anyways...this lady who was calling out...again...these same words that i seem to hear...she called out..." hello anyone, can you help me...can you help me...can you help me..." a couple people stopped but they couldn't help her...they gave a dazed look and said, "sorry"...so again...because i was in the right place at the right time...my first intention was just to shoot the escalators leading up to the theaters but...she distracted me...so i said, "yes" and smiled...she's like, "oh can you help me? i'm not feeling good, i need to go to the hospital..." my eyes widened, i was like, "ok..."
she said, "i want to go to toronto general hospital, i know it's somewhere around here...but i can't take a cab, i need to go on my scooter"
the reason why was this woman didn't want to cab was maybe it was too expensive for her...she was very heavy set, she wheezed from her breathing...she told me her kidney's were bleeding...she's like, "i'm sick, my kidney's are bleeding, i don't feel good"...instead of cabbing it she rather take her scooter...
so! what did i do...? i got out my nifty blackberry bold and decided to do a search...i knew where it was kinda but had to be sure....so i gave her the address and then we asked this other man also for the cross streets and then we explained everything to her...
...the first couple people whom she asked just nonchalantly said, "toronto general? i don't know..." but come on everyone knows where the hospital is...don't be silly...anyways it happens...sometimes you just don't want to be bothered right? it was a nice feeling again...to help her...help someone
i'm not sure why every time i go out of the house now some, "can you help me" thing happens to me? well not every time but feels like more frequently now and the only difference is i'm writing it down now, it's strange? but i quite enjoy helping these people as these experiences come along the way...do you enjoy me writing these things down? i wonder if people missed me when i stopped this for a few days? prolly not, but i enjoy writing this for you today...
...her name was tracy...at the end i caught a glimpse of her ring...was beautiful...will upload soon...i love you...ntfe brb.
...have a blessed day everyone, it's Sunday :)
