Gettysburg, why the fascination?

Over the years I visited the Gettysburg battlefield maybe over 100 times. And with out fail, on each return, I see it in a slightly different light. Over the last few weeks I've been fascinated with capturing sunrise images, which of course, means.

  • Checking the weather forecast.
  • Getting up at 0 Dark 30, & making the 45min drive.
  • Picking the spot to be when the sun come up and hoping it works.

Sometime it's over here.



" A Monument to the Solders and Sailors of the Confederacy" Warfield Ridge. Gettysburg Pa. B&WOther days it's some where else.

But the end state walking (yes walking is involved) around the park, seeing it in early morning "magic light, always adds to my sense of what went on here so many years ago and the sacrifices men of both sides made for their cause. Which of course adds yet again to my fascination with the place.

Two of the big helps have turned out to be a pfd copy of the Official Park Map, which is stored on an ipod touch, and of course, my AMOS AGL3080 Geotagger, which allows me to pin point exactly where each images is taken, which is referenced to above said map.
.... To be continued
