first pics

[snuffy19608]

These are my first attempts at taking pics on the battlefield. Camera is a Nikon P-510. Photos are unedited, got there late in the day when the light was fading. Opinions,good or bad?

Wonderful! I really like the shots with a clear view of the horizon and its blue and pink colors. That kind of serenity really clashes with what happened on the battlefield.

And cannon pics are always awesome!

Nice afternoon for pictures
How cold was it over there?

A good series of photos. There's an interesting effect from the light hitting the Evergreen Cemetery Gatehouse that disappears when the photo is enlarged.

Nice job with a new camera! I'm assuming you didn't go auto with it? If you're used to doing manual, don't go auto--you'll never go back to manual, and manual can give you some really cool shots. I know, I made that mistake with my Nikon 5200. I had to relearn all the manual settings that work best. Really hard!

Not too bad actually, this was about 10 days ago I believe. Thank you all for your comments. Trying to learn the art of photography, actually have 2 books packed with the camera when I go. LOL

Nicely done. Early morning or late evening light certainly makes Gettysburg even more beautiful.

I am a Gettysburg Photography nut. I always take a tripod to make sure the photo is level and to make sure the subject is centered. It is tough for me to do that with a hand held camera. I also have a bag full of filters to take advantage of whatever light Mother Nature provides.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos.

Nice set of pictures. Most are very well composed and those few that could stand editing can be easily cropped. Well done!!!
