Portrait Mode at Lanterns to Liberty
As part of the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, a living history event was held yesterday. I did not stay for the evening events which included a ride by “Paul Revere,” but I took plenty of photos during the afternoon. These are pictures that I took using my iPhone’s “Portrait” mode. You need to be fairly close to the subject to use that mode, but people wearing costumes are usually willing to pose.
I dialed in the solid background because the real background was distracting and clearly not 18th century.
I plan to share regular snapshots of the event later.

These are beautiful portraits. Good choice for the background. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it was enjoyable. I wonder how those early folks would view the country they birthed now?
