    Default Civil War Time Travel

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    In one of my trips back to the Civil War, I discovered these Confederates using a somewhat more modern form of horsepower to transport their cannon! Obviously time travelers had come previously and aided the Confederacy, and don't tell me I'm wrong because I got photographic evidence to prove it!

    This is an old photo from the first Civil War reenactment that I've photographed. I used three textures, one of my own and two from Shadowhouse. I also added a touch of motion blur.

    Christopher, I love the time warp here. If the Confederates had really owned SUVs, well who knows... Nice aging work as always. Is it my chair, or could this one use a little CCW rotation? Maybe it's just because they were on a hill.

    Thanks Kerry. Now that I look at it again, you may be right about it needing a little rotation. I often have trouble figuring out what's really constitutes straight on hilly ground like this.

    Love the rolling hills in the distance... just over the horseless carriage. Perfect "old" photo!

    Christopher you really did create an old look with this re-created scene. I agree w/ the rotation but as you say it's hard to tell.

    Christopher,

    Fantastic aged effect and very funny. I agree with Kerry on the rotation. Well done.

    I bet you could hang this on a wall of a civil war museum and half the people would never realize it had an SUV in the image! It's that good! Wow...the textures and the toning...you really are the king, Christopher!
