Description of Subject Matter: The Illumination is an event that Antietam puts on one night every winter. They put one lighted candle out for every soldier killed or wounded on the battlefield -- 23,000 in total. You drive through with your headlights off and just watch the magnitude of the scene. This is tougher with the new cars because they always have parking lights on as long as the car is on. Some people came prepared with black sheets of paper that they taped on their headlights.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2006 photos: Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point.. Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia. Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
