We had some reenactment here today. I learned this too late, got there around 1 and did 9 plates in like 4 hours. Here is a shot of one family. I was happy to do 4 plates for the grandparents and their grand children.
all 16x20 aluminum, 21" Darlot cone
This is the boy. I was going to do just the upper half, but after seeing his shoes which his grandpa made for him. I changed my mind. He held on to the gun very nicely.
Craig now has my scanner, so all of these photos are taken with my cell phone right on spot~~This is the sister, and that pistol fires!
Grandma's gun was even louder! In the end, this entire family lined up and fired quite a few loud shots for the crowd.
Many kids asked this grandpa if he was a pirate. He would correct every time by saying that he is a son of liberty
English man from the sixteen hundreds~~
English man~~
President Lincoln~~ He had the smae height. I am getting a convertible Chamonix 16x20 in a couple of months. I will be able to switch to portrait mode with that square camera. Can't do on this landscape one.
He recognized this is the Mathew Brady type of work, so he ask for another one. Too much reflection from the water in the tray. He liked this shot, saying he liked the "piercing eyes!" His name is Steve. He even had the same height as Lincoln.
The last English man and my last plate for the day~~
