Description

Another image from the Civil War re-enactment I attended last weekend.

I entered this in the June MT, "Brotherhood". Ironically, while the 'brotherhood of war' brings strangers together as allies and comrades, this particular war also sadly pitted brother against brother in some cases.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/100 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 135.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 30D
