Many faces of Abraham - Image Heavy

[rpcrowe]

I visited the 2017 Civil War Reenactment in Vista, California today. As always there was much to shoot. I had intended only to save one or two images of the Abraham Lincoln Reenactor but, I liked the different expressions.

Canon 7D Mark-2, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens. Aperture priority at f/8 using ISO 320. Post processing in Photoshop CC17 and NIK Software.

Lots of character in that face, reenactment and all. Nice series.

Thank you... After seeing so many Lincoln reenactors wearing false beards, it was nice to see a guy who, IMO, really looked like "Old Abe"

Here is a color image of Lincoln in front of the colors of the 69th New York regiment which was part of the "Irish Brigade" of the Union Army of the Potomac...

This guy really has the role down. Interestingly, Abraham Lincoln was thought to have Marfan's disease which affects the heart valves, eyes, large blood vessels. Someone came up with that in seeing pictures of him as these patients are tall and have disproportionately long arms and characteristic facial features.
