Excellent sequence of captures and clarity!

I see a fleeting glimpse of the horses in a couple of these shots. I really like the guys lined up in the last two, great coverage on this series.

A super collage and I love how you have caught them all in a line especially in the second from the bottom capture. Very impressive. Those fortifications would give them precious little protection from a bullet though. Excellent work.

I keep expecting to see Kevin Costner ride by on a horse, lol well a girl can dream right?? Excellent series.

Fantastic #5 Harry - looking right down the line. Dana

Great collage addition to the series! They do make a nice composition in line with the rifles. That fence wouldn't hold back much of anything, wonder why it's there?

it do get the blood flowing as you are there live. cool shots

Especially well caught on the last one.

these sequences do give a sense of a progression, how the soldiers move from preparation to battle to marching to battle, etc. Some people love the last shot, though I love the second-to-last as well because we see them preparing to fire & then actually firing. The fascinating thing about these reenactments is that they presumably use movements that were used in the actual battles (I assume there's research behind these), yet the actors are also actors. Meaning, were this the real thing, their demeanors would be transformed in indescribable ways. Yet as actors, they do this very well, as your captures attest. And, being a re-enactment, we can enjoy things in these that would almost be unthinkable in the real thing: Ie, the formations, the colors, the textures, etc. Do you know Robert Capa's famous D-Day photos? Some of the only ones taken of the invasion---many of which were lost in a developing lab in London, I think? They're astonishing, chaotic and nearly unrecognizable at the same time, because so vast is their subject, the images only 'tap' it, yet they're so raw that they defy the word "photograph". They're probably on the web, as are other Capa pics from WWII and other times. Anyway, with these civil war re-enactments, we can appreciate what we wouldn't even look for in the Capas: Uniform, different ages of the actors, the effect of smoke on the landscape, and your delicate peach-colored hues, which to my eye are beautiful (if I can say that about a war enactment; forgive if I'm being insensitive). More fine & fascinating montage from these pageants, and I always appreciate the effort you go through to make your panels flow into each other, Harry.

This set is amazing, as all your posts but wow the feel of the settings here come through sooo well. Your presenting some wonderful images Harry! Look forward to seeing more.

Good morning Harry:) Bet you had fun taking these. Now, I haven't looked at any of your recent Civil War pics yet so this is the first one. I am seeing something here probably not seen in many other reenactors' locations. Most of the soldiers in the top two images are carrying the long rifles of infantrymen. [.58 caliber Springfields or .69 caliber Harpers Ferry rifles] while the troops in the bottom three pics are all equipped with recently invented .52 caliber Spencer repeating carbines. It was the firepower of Spencer carbines that allowed the Union Cavalry at Gettysburg to hold off Lee's leading brigades while the Union infantry completed their approach march in time to grab the high ground before Lee could get to it. Reload time for rifles was about one shot every 25 seconds...the Spencers could fire seven rounds without reloading.

Good work on this collage Harry, so sorry for getting here so late.. The bottom two are great - super close-ups! Excellent! Rob
