Burnside Bridge, Antietam Battlefield – Photo for Dec. 14

Yes, it is catchup time…

This bridge is one of the most recognizable battlefield structures of the American Civil War.  I wanted to do a little something different with it and a number of years ago photographed it through a pinhole. This is fun photography!

Gettysburg Photographs and Notes – Photo for Dec. 13

I am in the process of updating and upgrading a number of my websites. Many of these sites were just shells with a couple of pages. One of the first sites I am working on is Gettysburg Photographs and Notes, gettysburgphotonotes.com. I am using the WordPress format and also linking to the original pages. I hope to do a lot of work on this during 2012. Also, because of some technical, a downed phone line, I have gotten a bit behind on my daily posts, so please forgive me as I work to catchup.

Tangier Island – Photo for Dec. 11

I took some photos of Tangier Island in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay with one of my early digital cameras in 2002. I have taken this opportunity to revisit these files. I found that they are by today’s standards electronically noisy, so I tried converting this to black and white and using the noise to appear more like traditional film grain. I am late on posting daily photos at this time because of interruptions in my internet service.

Union Pacific Big Boy, Steamtown – Photo for Dec. 9

I am a day late for posting a photo for Dec. 9, but had a problem with our internet service. This photograph was taken a couple of years ago with one of my old Nikon film cameras. It was shot in color and converted to black and white. The sky is digital and was taken on Hilton Head Island, SC. Since this picture was taken the engine has been repainted.
