Fuji in Europe Part 17 - St. John's Cemetery in Nuremberg

Cemetery

St. John's cemetery is one of the most notable burial grounds in Europe.  It was established around 16th century. It has the grave of Albrecht Dürer, a very famous renaissance artist.  Like most European cemeteries it's a wonderfully peaceful place, with  tall trees, and flowers everywhere.  Almost every grave has a rose bush planted at the head.  The history, and beauty of this place is something to behold.  The graves themselves are something to behold.  With intricate designs of plaques, statues, and grave stones, it's a beautiful display of art and remembrance.  I always like old cemeteries, there is some magical, quiet force there, that makes one relax and think. A beautiful place well worth visiting.

Gear

This was a perfect time for the Fuji XT1 and the 56mm f1.2 lens.  I wanted to shoot wide open, so I had the variable ND filter on the lens.  I'm very impressed with this camera lens combination.  The bokeh this lens produces and exceptional, in my opinion, and the camera with it's snappy focusing worked like a charm.  I'm not sure if it was the lighting conditions, or maybe because there subjects I was photographing were very well defined, the camera did not have any issues missing focus, as I did before.  This time everything just worked perfectly.
