Cemetery Sunday: Broken Angel (2)

It's (2) because I remembered shooting this one a few months ago.

I can remember photographing this angel the first time I took my camera to Reading Old Cemetery - must have been over 20 years ago. I haven't dug out the photos to check, but I'm pretty sure she had all of her arm and a full set of fingers then.

I started off today with the 600mm mirror lens, with the idea of picking out single monuments from the background. Although the cemetery is a fair size, with that focal length it proved quite difficult to get a clear line of sight to nice stones. I fell back on the 300mm zoom, though at one point with the 600mm I did managed to catch one of the shy Muntjac deer that live in the cemetery.
