Shots from Antietam

Thanks Deniz! It was a great morning. I've got a couple more I need to process. I'll post them when I get a chance.

 

They are both beautiful but I especially like the second one

 

Thanks Goofy!

 

wonderful shots, great composition and processing, the silver effect reminds me of what some of the photography majors were doing in the late 60's when I was in college. I have been to Antietam and it is a somber place to walk and comtemplate over.

 

Thanks BB!

 

I also play in an 1860's brass band and at least have gotten to hear exactly what the music would have sounded like

 

Here's a couple more:

Bloody Lane:



130th Pennsylvania Infantry:



Burnside Bridge:

 

the bridge photo is awsome,

are you a Civil War Buff?

There are some great sites here in Georgia and around Atlanta

Ever been to Gettsburg?

 

Great shots!!

 

Thanks guys!

BB, I don't consider myself a Civil War Buff, but I do enjoy visiting the battlefields to take photos. Yes I've been to Gettysburg, but not recently.

Poly, I agree about the bridge needing more snow. We didn't get much to start with and it all melted before I had a chance to get over there to take pictures. The stuff you see in the photo that looks like snow was actually a very heavy frost. When I got there there was steam rising from the creek that was causing a heavy frost to form on everything within a few feet of the water's edge. I wish I had my macro lens with me because some of the frost formations were really cool.
