Civil War Re-enactment
There was a civil war re-entactment in Port Gamble, WA, a few weeks ago. I am not very good with American history but it was quite entertaining nonetheless. The shots were much louder than I expected, the first one scared me so much I thought my skin was jumping off of me... I really enjoyed trying to capture the energy of the battle, and loved the effect of the gunfire smoke!

Great pictures, Lea. The smoke from the guns is interesting, and I like the subdued color palette. It would be fun to convert these to B&W for a Mathew Brady-esque look. (he's a famous Civil War photography, in case you never heard of him.)
Thanks for posting here.

Lea,
Wonderful pictures. I agree with Warren, I would like to see the second one in B&W. The smoke ready adds to the picture.
Great subject and caught perfectly they all have an daguerreotype quality about them to compliment the subject even though they are in color. I would agree with the boys that B & W would be very interesting.

Thanks for the comments, I'll have to give it a try in b&w! I like the daguerreotype analogy Dan. I saw some of those earlier this year for the first time and really enjoyed them! Thanks for the photog reference Warren, I'm going to hunt down some images from and info about him; helloooo google and wikipedia! :D
