I love re-enactments, such a wonderful way to teach history. The capture of the smoke hanging in the air is so good, I can almost smell it.

You can really tell why they were called "Red Coats." What a fun event to shoot. Nice going.

Some beautiful light! Love the smoke in the first one, and the way you caught the cannon going off, you must have a lightning quick finger! The tent shot feels very warm and intimate

That canon shot was purely luck! I tried to catch the others and couldn't do it for the life of me. Thanks for your comments!
