Not sure if everyone knows this, but using shaving cream, chalk and other
materials on tombstones is actually a no-no. It can damage the stones.
Here is an article from Dick Eastman's Genealogy Newsletter that you might
want to read before doing cemetery research.

I have a couple of other suggestions about taking pictures at
cemeteries.
1) is to take sidewalk chalk with you to rub over difficult to read & worn
markers. The chalk provides contrast that will highlight the markings.
2)after taking close ups of markers, take perspective pictures with
identifiable background features, including other markers, that will help
you and others to locate specific markers during future visits.
