Civil War Battle Re-Enactment 2010

Greenbush, Wisconsin

This was a U.S. and Confederate troop battle, somewhere in Kentucky 1862. The fighting was fierce in Kentucky during the summer and fall of 1862, as each side fought to control this key central state. The Union won this battle today. This photo was taken near the end of the battle.

Last year I had a dslr with a long lens with me. This year I went with only 3 rangefinder cameras, so I captured less battle and more encampment detail.

I like the "aged" treatment that you gave this. It works perfectly with the subject matter.

The slightly faded look is most effective here Cindy.
Very well photographed.

I like the composition and post-processing as well. That must have
been quite an experience.

This certainly give one a feel for the horrors of civil war, Cindy. Your near b&w
treatment really fits well. Very nicely composed. Thanks for the history too :)
