This was taken at a Civil War re-enactment in November 2000, using TCN 400 and a Spotmatic with 135mm lense. THis is my first attempt at b&w with this film. I scanned it in on a flatbed scanner and converted to greyscale so as to eliminate the green tint on the prints. I am thinking about having it reprinted on B&W paper. Any input or comments , on all aspects of this photo, would be appreciated. Gordon

you meant photo.net, didn't you (not greenspun.com)?

Nice moment (I like the cigar!) and well captured. The print is a little bleached out on the left, maybe dodge a little?

But I really like re-enactment pictures to be a little more dynamic and graphical. This (old) Viking photo is probably over the top, but should illustrate what I mean: direct eye contact and strong graphical forms. I guess you could say "un-subtle". :-)

There are bigger version on the linked web page, if you feel like exploring...
