Monument? Cannon? Building? When you visit a battlefield, what are you most likely to photograph?
The terrain.
The cannons; always the cannons! Many times I will take close ups of the muzzle, showing the manufacturing markings.
Terrain, terrain and markers. From the top of Blocher’s Knoll looking down, up charged the 21st Georgia. My buddy whose passing caused me to go to the Symposium in his remembrance was a gravestone guy.
Monument! But everyone loves a good cannon photo too
Terrain features such as the hornets nest
Terrain. I love the challenge of getting earthworks to show up well in photos. And I can’t resist drama/nature beauty shots like the if the sky looks pretty behind a rail fence or an expansive view from a high point.
Monuments because I am a fan of outdoor sculpture and the messages of the memorials, but also the terrain offers the opportunity to visualize on a personal level what these soldiers saw and endured.
Terrain and earthworks.
