M5 Living History

[Kev Pugh]

Just a few from yesterdays re enactment at Spetchley Worcester

 

[Darren Bradnock]

That German soldier is using a Russian Mossin Nagant if i'm not mistaken.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Haven't got a clue TBH Darren

 

[Thomas brookes]

Yes darren he does have the m9130 nagant. I like his face he looks angry..... Nobody likes an angry german with a russan gun!!!!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Nice set Kev - and the vintage treatment really suits the theme

Love the timing on the canon shot, and the last shot with the casing leaving the rifle.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Chris, those are two of my faves too

 

[Pete Askew]

I agree with Chris wholeheartedly (I'll be shooting 16:9 next!). Great series Kev and I guess there's lots more!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Cheers Pete there are of course and some in the gallery M5 LHIW 2011 http://www.realphotographersforum.com/album.php?albumid=55

 

[Pete Askew]

More great stuff. I like the one of the civil war guns under the trees very much.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I agree with Chris wholeheartedly (I'll be shooting 16:9 next!).

 

[Hamish Gill]

A few more additions to the M5 Album http://www.realphotographersforum.com/album.php?albumid=55

 

[Hamish Gill]

Very nice mate ...
Have you every tried a "bleach bypass" style pp?

 

[Kev Pugh]

No haven't used it I usually add a layer, fill, add noise, change layer blend mode to multiply reduce opacity to suit, similar process I think, always open to new ideas though

 

[Hamish Gill]

The basic idea is reduced saturation an increased contrast ... Seems to suit the WWII stuff pretty well!
I also specifically further reduced the blue saturation ...
Give it a go, I think it gives this sort of thing a bit more pop without looking too modern

 

[Kev Pugh]

I'll have a play, the colour WW II have had a similar treatment to this, mainly in camera raw running with the vibrancy and HSL/Greyscale tab
