WW II

Because the fourth of July is almost here I thought I post a couple of pictures of the World War II memorial in DC taken when I was there in May.  This memorial was new to me and I've got so say it's pretty impressive.  These are five shot HDRs.  The sun is pretty much set when these were taken and the exposure times were pretty long .5 - .7 seconds for the short exposure and eight - ten seconds for the long exposures f8 at 400 ISO

Vicksburg and the Civil War

I spent last week in Vicksburg, MS and got some education about the civil war.  There were several battles around Vicksburg and there is now a national park there commemorating the history of the events there.  Here's the first of my posts.  This is HDR three shot hand held.  Since I didn't have a tripod all of these will be hand held.  I hope they turn out as well.  The tent in the distance is the display of the war ship Cairo - I'll post pictures of it as well.
