Flowers in a Cheadle graveyard.

I spotted these flowers growing between the gravestones in the graveyard of St Mary’s church Cheadle today.

I wanted to find an angle to photograph them which showed the location as well as showed off the flowers.  In the end this appeared to be the best view.  Often when photographing flowers having the light coming from behind them gives a nice glow to the petals.  I chose a mid-range apature as I didn’t want the depth of field to be too small, but I still wanted to throw the gravestones out of focus.

On the subject of flowers, I had a sale through Alamy today…
