So if you can bring an 8x10 to Glenwood could I go out there with my 6x6 bronica and my tripod?

I took my 4x5 and tripod.

Are there usually alot of people there? I cant imagine a cemetery having a crowd but I know this is no ordinary cemetery.

Unless there is a funeral, you may see 5-8 other cars on your usual Saturday morning... sometimes, we have had a group there and other than the people in our group, we do not see anyone except the staff... and once in a while, there is a funeral (...imagine that!) but the place is so large that you can always move to another area.

We have had several people show up with 5x7 or 8x10 cameras & tripods... I have often taken my 4x5 there...

And I almost always shoot with a tripod there, no matter what camera I am using... I almost always shoot with a tripod, period... And Glenwood is where I had my 4x5 come off the tripod while I was carrying it and crash to the ground!
