April Photo of the day. I am starting my second month on the photo of the day challange! I should actually hit 30 days here in the 2nd week. I will do my best to get a new shot every day and this month will be a challange as I will be on travel 6-11. I plan on brining my laptop with me if I can get net access I can upload some photo's each evening after class. I am going to bring my Canon Powershot Pro1 with me so wish me luck. I am enjoying this challange as this is really streching my abilties.
April 22: Battery De Russey
The rain cleared at lunch today so I was able to walk and get a few shots. I took this panoramic while walking. For the anal retentive I know it it not level and goes uphill on the left. The left side is level and that was my starting point for photoshop. Realize I used a 28 mm lens that equates to 18mm in digital so there is some barrel distortion. The original pano was to large for smugmug and I had to reduce the size to fit as it was 41M.
History of the Battery:
This concrete battery was built between 1898 and 1903. The Coast Artillery began
using it in 1904. Originally named after Rene E. DeRussy, but in 1909 that was
changed to Gustavus A. DeRussy. Armed with three 12-inch M1895 guns on M1897
disappearing carriages. The battery was modernized in 1908, the platforms widened
and the BC Station was built. At first, each gun had its own plotting room underneath,
but the elevated two story BC Station replaced these with a new plotting room on its
lower level. The battery was decommissioned in 1944. The ladders and stairs have
been removed along with the earth embankment to keep people off of this deteriorated
structure for safety reasons. Along the railings are shields of various harbor defenses.
