Cannons at Manasass

Some photos of cannons at the Manasass National Battlefield. All of these cannons were on the Northern lines. I don't know if you can see it in the picture, but in the photo looking down the barrel of the cannon, as a prank, someone aimed the cannon directly at a statue of "Stonewall" Jackson on his horse! Taken with Camera + app. Effects used: clarity (all three). Cropped to golden ratio.

Manassas National Battlefield

Photos of the Manasass National Battlefield, where the battles of Bull Run and Manasass 2 were fought. Taken with the Camera + app. Effects used: clarity (both). Cropped to golden ratio.

3 stunning butterflies

3 amazing looking butterflies. First is a red birdwing, second is a blue morpho, and the third one's name has something to do with owls, but I forget what it was. They might be out of order because of the badly designed Blogger app. Effects used: clarity (all three), vibrant (two of them), depth of field (one of them).

Fredericksburg National Battlefield (Cemetery Ridge)

A picture of a statue/monument in the Fredericksburg National Battlefield at Cemetery Ridge. The statue is of two men, one is a union soldier, and the other is a confederate captain of a legion from Arkansas. During the battle of Cemetery Ridge, confederate troops hid behind a wall and shot at the approaching union ranks, which ended in the biggest union defeat since the Battle of Bull Run. During the battle at Cemetery Ridge, the captain from Arkansas convinced his men to jump the wall, and help treat the injured union soldiers' wounds. As he jumped the wall, the union ranks shot, and all missed. When they realized what the captain was doing for their injured men, the union ranks stopped shooting, and started shouting words of praise. In the statue, the Arkansas captain is giving an injured man a drink of water from a canteen.

Depth of field (or highway!)

Another picture using the depth of field effect. Effects used: clarity, depth of field. Taken with the Camera + app. Cropped to golden ratio.

P.S. Please comment on this post as to whether a picture taken with an iPhone should be called a photograph (a photo), an iphonograph, or an iphotograph.

Chenille Plant

Looking down a road for the 12th (?) time

No comment on this one. I would just like to thank everybody that actually looks at my blog! According to Google Analytics, the average time someone visits my blog is 8 minutes. Also, thanks for the 140th page view!

Pinhole Camera

This is a picture looking down a road, but with an effect called pinhole. Before cameras were digitalized, a long time before, cameras captured light through a very tiny hole, so pictures always came out with the middle in black and white, and the border black. This effect recreates what a print from that kind of camera would have looked like.

Miniature garden

A picture of a garden with an effect that blurs the top and bottom of the picture. The blurring creates an optical illusion to make everything in the picture look smaller. Taken with the Camera + app. Effects used: clarity, miniaturize. Cropped to golden ratio.

Photo name tag

A few of the photos I'll post in the coming week will have my name on them. The pictures that have my name on them I was planning on selling, so just in case you're wondering whose name that is......
