Check out the website. Better than just a re-enactment there are tents with folks dressed up in civil war era outfits, there is a fashion show, etc.;

A civil war re-enactment would be a great place to do some vintage photos. Is a “Civil War Remembrance” the same kind of event? Very cool that you are using film to get the old look.

Nice. I’ve also done this with a photo. The days of film are numbered but a Holga plastic camera and some 120 Ilford black/white 400 speed film gives a great old look. I have some taken at a Civil War Remembrance at Greenfield Village in Dearborn MI. Occurs Memorial weekend most years if you’re up for trip north..

You're being so sweet. I was just following someone else's instructions.

You’re right…I’ve given it a try before, but mine didn’t come out as lovely as yours. Maybe I’ll try again someday.

Thank you! I’m thinking this might be fun to do a rose or poppy photo. In fact, if the flower was a bit past its prime, it might work out even better.

Thanks, Carol! I'm just doing a little experimenting. I just tried applying this process to a flower photo to see how that would work.
