The Clicks Of My Shutter: Gettysburg

Gettysburg

We met with a Gettysburg Flickr group to photograph the sunset at Little Round Top. We got there a little early and we drove around some. These are some of the photos I took Saturday, I may post some others later this week.

I don't know the names of all these sites, note the cannon ball hole thru the barn and the horseback riders.

I believe this is known as the Witness tree

The gate at Triangle field with the Ellis monument in the background

Ellis Monument with the moon over his shoulder

Little Round Top, with General Warren in the background

As the sunwas setting, General Warren looks on.

My favorite of the day, I was practically laying on the ground to get this!

The observation tower at LRT, thru the arches.

Cannon and sunset, I focused on the US on the cannon. This would be perfect if the cannon was aimed right at the sun, maybe next time.

WELCOME

Hello, glad you could find the time to visit! The Clicks Of My Shutter welcomes you to a photo journal of things happening around me, places I go, sometime just to take photos. I am an amature photographer who likes taking photos more than people like looking at them!! Most of the photos can be viewed larger, I keep them pretty small for easier uploading.

All photography is copyrighted automatically but I don't mind if you use my photos for yourself, all I ask is if you use them on another website give credit where credit is due.

~ What To Wear ~

I found this on the Web and thought it was usefull! Photographers shooting a traditional family portrait will suggest that members wear a uniform color that the entire clan feels comfortable in. The safest colors are solid muted tones that don't distract from a person's face. Suggested color "dos" include: •Brown •Blue •Rust •Burgundy •Mocha •Hunter green •Gold Conversely, there are a number of colors that you shouldn't sport on family picture day. Some color "don'ts" include: •Purple •All neon or fluorescent colors •Bright red •Bright green •Gray In addition, individuals with fair skin should avoid wearing flesh-tones, such as: •Beige •Tan •Peach •Pink •Bright white •Yellow •Rose •Apricot Black is a controversial color in the world of family portraits. Some photographers recommend wearing black during formal shoots, though most pro shooters tell their clients to avoid wearing black in family portraits because the color may cause lighting issues. Extreme contrasts are to be avoided at all costs during photo shoots, especially when multiple subjects are involved. You're better off sticking with neutral colors that will accentuate your natural features.
