Challenge:Garbage (Classic Editing) Camera:Fujifilm FinePix S602Z Location: Graveyard, St Nicholas Church, Basildon, England Date: Oct 3, 2002 Aperture: 2.8 ISO: 160 Shutter: 1/500 Date Uploaded: Oct 3, 2002
I was walking through the local churchyard with and saw this cigarette packet discarded rather callously. It cried out to be entered into the garbage challenge and I think the photo works on several levels. It shows how nowhere is safe from the menace of rubbish and dont you think a cigarette packet on a grave is deliciously ironic??

a passing idea - this could have been very cool if you'd used the cig packets as gravestones themselves, and set them upright in the ground. Use a low/close perspective and get them to look the same size as the other gravestones....
WOW 9th, only my second entry and an improvement on last weeks 141st!! THanks everyone for voting and hopefully a tutorial about desaturation wil be posted on this site in the coming weeks...

If you have an Administrator Note, It's almost always a cool pic. This is well done. At a local funeral home they have a special smokers room, I think they are trying to drum up business.
You would think that people would understand how this is done by now huh? Maybe you could do a tutorial on how you achieved it so that photos like this might get less DQ requests. This is very well done, The angle and framing/cropping are great. The color on black and white is also nice. Nice shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

Man, I love when someone uses photographic technique to stump the masses around here ;o) Nice work! It is a strong image that accomplishes what so many others tried in this challenge. Nice DOF and focus. 8 ~indigo997
