This should generate some quality discussion. Have at it boys.
P.S. Is there some type of softwear program you can buy that allows you to do the same thing with other images? I'm not what you would call a computer literate person.

Re: Now this is cool
Chris, that is really great. First thing I noticed were the 2 men if you zoom in about 1 inch below and then 1 inch to the left of center were carrying axes inside of their coats with the head sticking out between the buttons. Secondly there is some very interesting headwear and scarves/blankets, possibly folding slouches??John Fable

Re: Now this is cool
Whats that thing with four rods in the front center of the photograph? Look to the left of the first line of men and you will see what I mean.Comment

Re: Now this is cool
Some of the men behind the ones with the axes/hatchets in their coats seem to be holding a square and a straightedge of a rule of some kind. Is there any record of a construction or repair detail? It could be possible also that the rods were used somehow in construction or surveying.Originally posted by johnf1862 View PostScott McGowan,

Re: Now this is cool
It looks like there is a gentleman with something that resembles a square to the right of the four rods. Also, there is a gentleman holding a saw at the extreme right side of the picture. I also notice what seems to be a spattering of civilian frock coats throughout the photo. Pretty neat image!!

Re: Now this is cool
It is a nice assortment of headgear. A good smattering of forage caps with hat brass – seem to be dark blue. I was able to see three corporals; two with “curved” and one with “straight” chevrons.
In the foreground is a mechanical device of sorts. Is that a style of hand cranked water pump?
A very interesting photo indeed; whatever the software is, it is a fantastic feature and great clarity when you zoom it.[FONT="Georgia"][I]Marc Averill[/I]

Re: Now this is cool
It looks like the rods in question could be one. The man hold it was probably moving it while the photo was being taken. Some of the rods look transparent and from the looks of it and in relative position to his body his hand is in the center of the pole and that being blurry too leads me to think that he was moving it. But anyway the image is great.[FONT=Century Gothic]Very Respectfully,
