Hallowed Ground

Hi,

After a long hiatus I have rediscovered photography

I have a Rebel XT and a reasonable collection of lenes to support my interests.

I like to shoot landscapes, street candids, and my favorite subject...my grandkids.

I made the attached shot at the Manassas Battlefield a few Saturdays ago. To the left is Rickett's Battery and to the right is the woodline from which the Confederates made their charge to capture the battery and the high ground.

I took this shot early in the morning a a cold and cloudly day. The thing I like best about the Canon as it faithfully captures just what the eye sees.

I used my 24-70mm f/2.8 EF L with the following settings: f/11, ISO 200, 1/500th, and 32 mm.

I welcome comments and hope to become a regular contributor to this forum...it is the best

Thanks,

Jim

I find this shot to be of great historical interest, Jim! I hope you can post more photos of this kind. Thanks for sharing

Balliolman,

Thanks...the Manassas Battalefield is closeby and one of my favorites to visit.

I appreciate your comments. Here is a closeup of Rickett's canons.

In the next week or so I plan to take my early Christmas present (70-200mm f/4 EF L) to the site and try a few shots.

Enjoy,

Jim
