Something a little different. I was asked to cover an event for some Civil War (US) Reenactors giving a small presentation of the life in the early to mid Victorian era, specifically the period of the American Civil War. I shot a whole lot of rather banal photos. However I did a few posed shots of the cast came out better than expected. I've been playing around with them and this is the first I think is sort of worth showing.
Now there are a number of problems, which are my fault. The vignette is too close too the edge of the image, and I know it. However I want the image background to bleed into the web page background. I'm having a devil of a time getting that to happen. Even though the background color of the image is supposed to be the same as the background color of the web page as you can see they don't match. Anyone who has a suggestion about that I'd really appreciate it. I'm going to put a number of these on a Web page eventually with links to the rest of the color images... http://www.mindspring.com/~distilfink/peso-thematron.html Equipment: smc Pentax *ist-Ds/smc Pentax A 28mm f2.8 Notes: Converted to B&W using Fotomatic B&W Plus, (Blue Filter applied to emulate 19th Century photo emulsions, Sepia toned for the same reason).
