Wanted to play with the Mark IV and see the high ISO capabilities. The SRB is always a peaceful place to get some powerful images. Everything shot at 800 iso with no noise removal. 800 is nothing to this camera. It'll do 6400 just about as good.
On January 2nd, 1863 at 3:00 P.M.
there were stationed on this hill
fifty-eight cannon commanding the field
across the river, and as the Confederates
advanced over this field, the shot and shell
from these guns resulted in a loss of
eighteen-hundred killed and wounded
in less than an hour.
"A single rifled gun stands to the south of the parking lot, roughly where the Chicago Board of Trade Battery stood during the January 2 fighting. The gun is a James Rifle using the profile of the Model 1841 6-pdr Field Gun, identified by historians as a "Type 1." The gun was produced for the State of Connecticut in 1861 by Ames Manufacturing of Massachusetts."
Union soldiers retreated across this field on January 2, 1863, pursued by Confederate troops under Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge. The Southerners were stopped by Mendenhall's Artillery posted at this position.
