Congrats on your "Featured Thread" win!
As a student of History and our Civil War, your images have that Matthew Brady-esque "vibe" to them.
He toned many of his Civil War photos as you have.
Again extremely well done Kambiz!

Thank you so much Dan. Very much appreciate, not just your kind comments, but the interesting and valuable information and context you add here. Helps me learn new things!
Thank you so much. That’s a really good question! I had been wondering the same thing myself, and Dan’s response helped clear it up. I obviously didn’t realize this while editing the pictures, but I felt that this tone just suited images from the Civil War era!

Nice choice to use Sepia tone to present these. Gives a nice civil war era look. I do wonder if they (civil war era photos) were like that when they were first taken or if they yellowed over time and now we equate that look with old photos.
