Those who know me are aware that I love going to historical areas and photographing them.  Every Christmas there is a reenactment of the Stones River Battle, the bloodiest battle of the Civil War.  The people who come out are very nice and are great at ignoring the camera!  I shot in color but processed in either B&W or sepia for an aged effect.  If I can figure out the noise setting on my Photoshop someday, I might try adding that.  But take a look and give some advice please.
Soldier 1   This is a photo of the Rebel soldiers after they had drilled for the crowd.

soldier 2   I just loved this guy's hat and the panache is wore it with!

soldier 3  This soldier was getting his gear together on the battlefield.

soldier 4 This is one of my favorite because it came out so sharp.  He was just taking in everything going on around him.

soldier 5 Cannon fire!  That was loud!!

I did work some with these photos in framing them.  To me they look better.  But I'm not sure how everyone else views them.  You can see the framed photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jellybeansview.  Please take a look and let me know what you like better.

Happy New Year!
