Civil War Re-Enactment


A number of years ago I was asked to join my father-in-law to a presentation of one of the key battle reenactments of the Civil War. Basically put, the participants are acting out the battle and the viewers are using their imaginations to visualize how this battle must have been carried out in the war between the states, Civil War.


I brought my camera but not my tripod. Big mistake. You have to realize the simulated battle field was just that a large field. Hand holding cameras with telephoto lens attached could result in blurred images. I shot the battle anyway and was pleasantly surprised with the results. Also, luck was on my side with this shot of the fire coming out of the rifle.
