Battle Lines: The Civil War

A shot taken at 148th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, 2011, the same days as the original engagement.

Great event, and fun shot to work with. The goal here was to create the wetplate/tintype look to the original photo. Crack/grunge/shatter brushes were responsible for the effects on Adobe Photoshop CS5.


The high exposure blurs individuals' faces...much as history leaves us only with casualty and troop numbers.

Thanks and enjoy!
