These are photographs that I took of the reenactment of the first clash that opened the Battle of Gettysburg on 1 July 1863. The fight began between Confederate infantry and Union cavalry but rapidly escalated into a clash involving large parts of both the Confederate and Union armies. I used mainly my Canon EOS 40D SLR with its Canon L-series 100-400mm telephoto lens (using a Canon L-series 24-105mm lens for a handful of shots). I took another handful of shots with my Canon G9 point-and-shoot. I used Adobe's Photoshop Elements 6.0 and Lightroom 1.41 and Google's Picasa2 programs to develop them.
My write-up of this is on my blog at
