Shooting for book covers sometimes draws you to some unusual subjects, and this is one of them – spooky, some might say macabre memorials which lurk around various old buildings and always make a compelling subject.
First one on a Lensbaby with the plastic lens, toned in post-processing.
Next a remarkably fine carving of a skull – they really were ghoulish in the 1700’s! This is on the Zuiko 50mm f1.4 wide open, and displaying some very odd bokeh – it’s rather annoyingly distracting but never mind…
Finally a real horror of a monument – how sensibilities have changed over 250 years. 
Thanks for looking – hope you like them (if you can like something like this!).

Love the macabre subjects. That is strange bokeh with the Zuiko–kind of stuttered?
Sometimes see similar effects with LBs but usually because of shaped apertures…
It’s a bit odd – repeating patterns in the background sometimes get amplified maybe?. No control over it unfortunately but interesting.
Thanks for the comment.
Certainly spooky, I like them for scary books!
