Howdy All,

One from this last weekends outing, went to Fort Sill OK, some really neat history.

Here's one of the first shots of the weekend.



Shot with modded D70S, and colorized in PS, Thanks for Looking.

Hi Craig,

Good one here, buddy. I wonder, is this the actual cannon that was used in firing the stomic shells when they were doing the testing?

Wonderful image Craig, love the color and the winter-like vegetation.
Found some interesting info on it here
Apparently it is the one which fired the test shot in NV in 1953. The first and last nuclear round fired from an artillery piece.

Howdy Tom,

Thanks, it was a neat adventure into the past, and I loved seeing all the old armaments, plus the Post history was very interesting also.

Howdy Jack,

Thanks, that's an interesting site, it kind of confirms what I read briefly at the site.

Howdy Fred,

Good subject for IR. Great composition. Any reason why you didn't process it to get white for the vegetation and trees?

Howdy Jeff,

Thanks for the kind reply.

The leaf color was just one of those "surprises" when the channel swap was completed, along with some saturation.

I kind of like the different color.
