Ry and I had some fun last weekend reliving the revolution at Cantigny. I think Ryan’s sole reason for going with me was for education…… NOT! His desires fell on a beautiful wooden sword. They had a canon demonstration which was very loud, and battle where…. I won’t ruin who won. And finally a parade where they did many things that both Ryan and I remember from my time at Culver in our parades and his at Woodcraft parades. Things like officers report, officer center, pass in review, and eyes right. The saluting by officers with swords and troops with weapons was basically the same except they took a step back with one foot in the final move.
It was also and opportunity to work with a new camera that we are using in the studio. The camera has an extremely large sensor which affects the depth of field and how the subject is rendered, it gives the images a very interesting look and feel that is unique to the format.
Most of the events at Cantigny are free, there is a $5 charge for parking. You can see the upcoming event by here. There is a wonderful museum for the 1st Division, flower gardens and a tank park where you are allowed to climb.
