A few comments.....

Feel free to use or copy any image that I post.

If I feel I have a better quality or a significantly different photo than the one already posted, I will add it. Normally I just tag my photo as "Other". In some cases where the original primary image is of undeniably poor quality, I will replace it with my own. This is the exception.

A few suggestion: When photographing headstones, remove any debris (e.g., trash, grass clippings, leaves, twigs, etc). Photograph the entire headstone, not just the inscription. For upright headstones, take the photo at eye level. For flat headstones, if possible take the photo directly overhead. Avoid back-lit photos. Edit your images to improve framing, clarity and/or poor lighting. If the grave is in a family plot alongside others, post a photo of the entire plot as well

Resist the urge to designate your headstone photo as the permanent cover image (by checking the "Set as Cover Photo" box). Checking that box precludes better quality photos from being the cover image.

Thanks
