The Darkness of War

These images were captured after nightfall at the
Korean and Vietnam War Memorials on the mall at
Washington DC. This was my first attempt at shooting
statuary. Please let me know what you think about these.

Wow. Fantastic gallery. Shooting at night and with tight framing works perfectly. Vote.

This is absolutely one of the best galleries on Songramp. Thank you so much for posting it. Voted for this one.

The black and white photos with the shadows across the face are stunning...they seem to speak to us of the lost souls...of the men and women who fought for this democracy!! Excellent work!!

Joe these shots are AMAZING!! I was also on the safari with you on Saturday night. The fellow accountant shooting with the D100. The composition is awesome and then the work you did in Photoshop afterwards is fabulous too. Thanks for sharing!

I posted my photos also onto my site. www.photosbysusan.net

I didn't do much work in Photoshop with them other then remove the color. After seeing yours, I need to do alot more work!!

Thanks Dennis! The circular halos wer actually an accident. It started raining pretty hard and they are actually out of focus raindrops on my lens refracting the lighting on the statue. The background image is a 'wall' at the Korean Memorial which contain engraved photos of the servicemen who served in Korea.

Excellent images -- very evocative. The rain/moisture on the Vietnam images is especially compelling. What was the circular image(s) on the Angels of Mercy shot, and what was the background image on your PAD image?
