Gettysburg

These are really well done. They seem to capture the sense of the place that I missed when I visited a few years ago. Was appalled to find that someone had built a housing development on one of the battlefields.

Many years ago I had a forced stopover at Gettysburg. Truck broke down. Gave me the opportunity to take all the self guided tours around there and take photos. I must say you handled these pictures much better than my film camera could. Long live digital. Great job removing objects. After you removed the monuments and roads, did you put them back? lol

Particularly like the composition of the photograph with the field gun - well taken and processed.
I agree with you. That picture does seem to have some impact.

In order the preserve the "sense of place", I removed some of the roads and walkways that the Park Service installed for visitors. I also removed some of the battlefield monuments. Just as a comparison, here is the original of Devil's Den with the roads in place. Quite a difference, I think

Thank you for your comments. Due to the "nondestructive" nature of Light Room editing, the removed objects were actually never physically touches, just removed from views. The monumental pixels are actually all still intact. lol

Wonderful shots! The B & W treatment is very effective.
Somehow portraying this battlefield in color makes it "just another landscape". I've done that with battlefield scenes before. This time, I wanted something different. Thank you for taking a look and your valuable input.
