More 'hints' from one of the mailing list members. Sally Unless you know the cemetery is immaculately groomed, take a small pair of garden clippers along--particularly handy if grass is growing over the writing on those "flat to the ground" markers. Also carry a bottle of water and a soft rag to use in removing those "birdie num nums"--nothing more tacky than a photo of a beautiful marker with droppings on it. I also try to have a soft bristled brush (paint brushes are good) to sweep away dirt, leaves, grass clippings etc. AND, before you click, look carefully and see where your shadow is falling--unless you like the ghostly look of a dark shadow over your marker images.
