I am having an issue with my photobucket account login, but I will post as soon as it gets working again. Anyways, i'd like to see some photos of any Civil War reenactors out there... it doesn't matter if you're in blue or grey, just looking to see some pics of other members out in the field. Anyone, who wants to contribute... thanks!
 
how about this: a pic from the battle of Pleasant Hill (LA) reenactment of the largest battle west of the Mississippi. My artillery unit (4th LA, CSA) is near center firing at the Yanks....35000 men took part in the original battle. The CSA stopped the Union advance from New Orleans here.

Hmmmm, came in a bit small...
 
try this one: moving the cannons into place, Pleasant Hill (LA)--the Yanks are coming!

for the other side: a yank patrol in south Louisiana (Washington,LA reenactment, 2005)

Awesome pictures... love the color effects on them. Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:
 
Just to be clear, those "effects" are from the use of the period photographic process, and not of image editing.
 
It's a wetplate image of some variety, I'm not sure of the exact process Mr. Szazbo uses, but it's authentic to the era. The intended product looks like that when new. Today, we think that time has turned them brown and created imperfections in the image. That is often the case, but not to the extent most would think.
