Fort Pickens

I enjoyed roaming through this interesting place. Comments and critiques welcome.

Quite a place for sure. I've been there twice, but didn't have time to really explore it out. Got a couple of photos in my gallery.

I found it interesting that the fort remained in Union Army possession through out the war. I reckon the South just didn't think it would be worth the effort to capture it. Amazing what a mere 5000 pounds of black powder can do to a structure.

Love your photos of the place.

May I ask what you used for lighting?
These photos are very attractive.

Thanks Terry. We also found it interesting that it was a Union Fort. We were vacationing in nearby Pensacola Beach, so I was able to visit the fort several times during our stay. Interesting place!

Thank you, Perfectly Frank. These were both shot with natural light, fairly early in the morning. I raised the shadows and lowered the highlights in post.
