B&W Wrest at War

[GrahamT]

A few of shots I took at the English Heritage event at Wrest Park earlier this year commemorating WWII and some WWI.

All taken on Lumix LX100, the last shot was taken at ISO12800. To get a consistent look, I used Nik Silver Efex Pro to create a preset to apply to the whole set. I accept that some will consider them over processed but this is the look I wanted

If the first 3 pictures are FF, I notice that the frame edge
is too close to the feet/ hoofs. If not, I would grant more
room at the bottom of the crop.

My picks are 1 and 4.

Thanks for the comment and advice, much appreciated.

As you wrote you like the PP so no comment on it. But you are standing too tall and you are photographing them top down. Get on your knees or something similar (only if I could remember it myself). Why do people want to play war games is beyond me but such is life

Lol, I wish I could get on my knees, sadly arthritis in my knees makes it quite difficult, especially trying to get up again lol. They were not playing war games, they were commemorating the people that went through those terrible events and keeping history and our heritage alive.

I know the feeling of not getting up again But I have become so aware as I started with an "eye level" camera only in the last couple of years and I keep moaning about my photos So I hope that by saying it to everyone else I will remember it myself. Go on your knees and stay there.

Tee hee hee ... they got dressed in "fancy dress" to commemorate , I heard it all now. Anyhow, good B&W photos but no comment about the "effects"

If it were called re-enactment would that help with understanding?

I like the PP, a very nice set

 

[cargo]

Liking these too. Lots of detail captured also like the pp.
I never got the feeling I were viewing these form a particularly high view point.

Nothing wrong with the PP in my eyes, I quite like the set especially #4.
