Today marks Halloween, a perfect occasion to venture out and capture eerie photographs with your iPhone or camera. The free Snapseed app offers a wealth of tools to enhance your images and infuse them with a spooky atmosphere. Old churchyards and cemeteries, such as Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh, are ideal locations for hauntingly atmospheric shots.
Greyfriars Kirkyard, established in the 16th century, boasts a dark history and numerous infamous residents. One of the most notorious is Sir George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh, a Scottish lawyer and legal writer known for his brutal suppression of political and religious dissent during the 17th century. Mackenzie's tomb, located within the Kirkyard, is a popular attraction, often depicted in eerie photographs.
The unsettling history of the Kirkyard is further emphasized by its melancholic tombs and monuments from the early 17th century, which serve as reminders of the inevitability of death. While the Snapseed app may not be everyone's favorite due to its new interface, it remains an excellent free tool for enhancing smartphone photos and adding spooky effects, such as converting images to black and white and experimenting with various filters and artistic effects.
