Thanks all... Yeah, all shot using the K20D and the Bigma. It's really my go-to lens for so many things!

It was fun shooting these and I need to find some more to shoot. for practice I've been asked to shoot production stills for a Civil War documentary that goes into primary cinematography next spring or summer. Should be a cool gig... and I'll get an on-screen credit.

It's been in the works for a while. It's a small production company but they have some interesting ideas and concepts going. As things progress and the requirements become firmer I will mention you to them Mel!

Please forgive the watermark. I apply these to all images on my Zenfolio site rather than hand-marking each individual image.

Cool feature Adam! Thanks!

Great set of pictures! I really enjoy seeing pictures of reenactments , especially without any evidence of the 21st century in the picture. What's that old saying, "the civil war isn't over...it's only in half time"?

Great series, Mike! It's amazing to me just how comfortable and skilled you have become with that lens. I still recall hoisting that beast on our trip to Shenandoah NP... it made quite an impression on me I'm still holding out for the "Half the weight, HSM" version

Nice shootin'! Love your website, BTW.... very nice

Bud
