Title: US Independence Weekend - Ohio Village
Post by: gryphon1911 on July 07, 2019, 13:54:31: Opening ceremony with emphasis on women's sufferage (women did not get the right to vote until 1920 in the US). Era represented 1890.

Post by: Akira on July 08, 2019, 04:20:03: Andrew, the images look amazingly well processed for the concept, especially the first batch. Thank you for sharing!

I wonder if I'm seeing the rolling shutter effect in the image (DSC_9741) capturing the moment at which the batter hits the ball?

I believe not. The kind of wood used for the bat bends more so than a modern wood bat. The shutter speeds used were between 1/2000 and 1/4000 on the D500.

Post by: tommiejeep on July 08, 2019, 13:55:05: Andrew, these are excellent. They have to be B&W ;) and really nice treatments. I guess you could 'colour' them ( current craze) but that would be a heck of a lot of work.
Thanks for sharing. Even the Continuity Check is good. Just the guy in modern cap and shades in the Suffragettes shot :)

Yeah, wish I could have controlled the crowd, but could not. The sufferage sign holders were only on one section of the opening ceremony. I could have gone in and removed them, I guess.

Post by: Ann on July 08, 2019, 19:49:35: Excellent photography and perfect processing to match the purported 1890s time-slot!

This series should all be printed as at least 20" x 16"s and hung permanently in a Ohio museum.

(Yes it would be well worth while to clone out those annoying bye-standers in their baseball caps and sunglasses!)

I might just do that once I have the time.
