One of over 6,000 graves of Unknown Soldiers at the Chattanooga National Cemetery. Shot with a Canon 5DS with a 24-70 mm f/2.8L II USM lens.

Over 180 German prisoners of war are buried in the Chattanooga National Cemetery pursuant to the Peace Treaty that ended the First World War. The German government was allowed to erect the monument you see amid the headstones in 1935. There is an incredible irony that German soldiers are buried in this cemetery with American GI's and that a monument placed by Hitler's government is there as well.

This image also uses a rule of third placement with the top of the rock aligning roughly with the upper third. It also uses the diagonal placement of the rock to emphasize the scene. It was shot at 30mm to crop out the sky. It was shot a f/22, with an ISO of 100 and a shutter speed of 1.6 seconds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1530136208534-EGEC7TVESSAENNWF2ZTH/IMG_9722.jpg PhotoBlog - That sure was a lucky shot... This photo illustrates the concept of the Rule of Thirds. The photo is divided into thirds both horizontally and vertically to find a pleasing location to place a subject. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1530136105149-WHGJ77EZOLVCCRBQ3445/044A3336.jpg PhotoBlog - That sure was a lucky shot... This photo uses diagonal lines and a rule of thirds placement. It was shot at 24mm with an aperture of f/22. The ISO was 100 and the shutter speed was 2.5 seconds. In post processing, the overall exposure was lowered slightly and a gradient was applied to the woods in the top right corner to emphasize the falls. I used a brush adjustment on the log adding warmth and sharpening and raising the exposure slightly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1530136988454-9H7VP5N6C9TRXY5JSHLS/044A3300.jpg PhotoBlog - That sure was a lucky shot... This shot places the rock in the center, which doesn't conform with the rule of thirds, but rather uses the symmetry of the falls on either side of the rock to emphasize and frame the large rock. This shot was a challenge because the white on the top of the rock was reflecting the sunlight brightly and made shooting without the neutral density filter hard. It was shot at 30mm at f/22 with an ISO of 100 and a shutter speed of 1.6 seconds. https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/Nature monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/waterfalls monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/Tennessee monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/honor monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/sacrifice monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/technique monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/Canon+lens monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/rules+of+composition monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/Memorial+Day monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/Canon monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/unknown+soldier monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/composition monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/liberty monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/symmetry monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/duty monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/patriotism monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/rule+of+thirds monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/unknown+soldiers monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/Canon+5DS monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/photography monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/landscape monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/blog/tag/wildlife monthly 0.5 https://www.thegenlens.com/welcome daily 1.0 2018-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1550763361878-PWM76P4UPL4XMUL3R0IH/_44A4420.jpg Welcome https://www.thegenlens.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1518411585595-1BLBIFOYV88NFZQJDBOM/044A4784.jpg Contact https://www.thegenlens.com/about daily 0.75 2018-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1518722870298-0B3YAASL90X1AB4X67MS/IMG_5049.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1518411691218-CW9J8VOH7PFTBE41SKPO/015ef031f7f0f9b76c6bb2b8801d3d019699a39c5a.jpg About https://www.thegenlens.com/shop-1 daily 0.75 2018-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1518464561937-7V4YR3W9N1BUA4U6ZKZ9/044A3475.jpg SHOP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1527604118132-4Q35JGUB3TJFD4WTC3XS/044A0697.jpg SHOP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1518464588226-2EWIPFSCDQQQRAI1ADXX/0177c7ff3cc50547a704ac843bce0c92ddc6416fa7.jpg SHOP https://www.thegenlens.com/new-page daily 0.75 2018-05-21 https://www.thegenlens.com/featured-photo daily 0.75 2018-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6fed05edaed8143ec07f29/1534006746916-PIG4JT0LC2SZZMVJRXFX/Cherohala+1Edit.jpg Featured Photo This was shot with my Canon 5DS and my Canon 216-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens.
