Civil War Reenactment Battle

What an amazing find! All these old Civil War photographs in my grandfathers old trunk, stored in the attic! NOT!
Last Sunday I went to Nevada City, CA for the annual Constitution Day Parade and Civil War Reenactment battle at Pioneer Park. I went 10 or 15 years ago when one of my friends, Rusty, was a Reenactor. This time I was there for the photos, and my daughter, Jula, went with me and took a few shots as well.
The cannons were deafening and their concussions were pounding! Lots of photos ops. The trick to make them look real was trying not to get spectators or 21st century buildings/structures in the background. Using ACDSee Pro software, I gave them a sepia tone and and then used an aging tool. They came out even better than I had hoped. Take a look!
