Work in Process...

So here is the original and the edited version. I really like the sky and cannons on the edited, but i can't seem to get a good green for the grass. I settled with some greener highlights and some along with the original brown base, but still not what I was hoping for.

What do you think? Like it? Believable grass coloration?

Battlefield Re-processed

Here is one that I took last week. I played around with it a bit this morning. I am thinking of changing my title image to one similar to this one. What do you guys think? I would probably wait till later in the spring to get a better range of color and contrast. Also change a couple of  nit-pick things about the composition, but anyway since I can feel the yawns and boredom growing in my target audience, I will go ahead and shut up now... :-)



Chickamauga Battlefield

Took a ride down to the Chickamauga Battlefield yesterday. Hoping to get some good black and white shots, but didn't really find what I was looking for. However, it did turn into some pre-spring scouting. I saw several places that I will be revisting once everything is done being brown...

This is a shot of the Wilder Tower. It is one of the more well-known areas of the park. During most of the year, it is open to go up into and look out across the fields. Here is another look at it under more "normal" lighting and such...

These are just a couple other random shots that I took. One of these days I might figure out what I want to do with them...





And last but not least, here is one for my Dad. It is a poor tribute... I couldn't find a single antler anywhere, but I guess I need to make do with what I have. Hope you like it...
