I took this photo at Gettysburg and thought it would look cool to edit some photos to look like they are from the Civil War era.Time
Late MorningLighting
It was a very hot, sunny day and I got this effect purely through editingEquipment

I loved the way all the fences at Gettysburg looked and that they still have the look of what a farm fence would have looked like in the 1860'sEditing
I use CameraBag for photo editing and just played with different levels primarily making it darker and adding some grain and sepia tones until I thought it had a cool civil war type look to it.In my camera bag
I am just starting out with being interested in photography so I have a very basic Canon SX40 which I use primarily in auto, I am starting to learn different functions. I just purchased some filters (UV, CPL, ND) as well as a new shoulder strap. I always carry multiple memory cards as well as microfiber cleaning cloths.Feedback
I was overwhelmed at the amount of stuff to shoot at Gettysburg...barns, fences, canons, graves, monuments. I like taking things from different angles, I laid on the ground to take this photo. Once I got home and started looking at my photos I edited one to make it look old and then thought it would be fun to edit all of them that they looked like they were civil war era.
