    Could this be done for some of our old cities or ACW battlefields here in the USA

    http://sergey-larenkov.livejournal.com/

    This website was posted on our unit forum and thought this would be a great idea put to use for preservation and getting ones bearings on ACW battlefields. This Russian comrade has taken period pics from WW2 around Berlin, Roumania and Lenningrad and super-imposed them on modern day pics.

    I thought this was a really cool thing, a fusion of past and present!

    My question to you shutterbugs and photoshoppers out there is how feasible would it be to do this?

    Mods if this isn't the right area please move it where it needs to go!

    Read my mind...I've started doing this with vintage archival photos from my newspaper of the Manhattan Criminal Courts building, and will be in Gettysburg this upcoming week. I was going to try to do something like this. Will report!

      I've done this with video I took at Antietam last year accompanied by Ashoken Farewell. The video fades into an image taken in 1862 for about 10 seconds then proceeds to the next one. The two I like are as I'm driving up to the Dunker church and the curved road where a number of dead lie in a row. It's almost creapy - as if it trancends time just at that moment. The landscape lines up perfecty even today. World War Two photos have done something similar years ago in a magazine called "After the Battle" pictures from the war compared to pictures of the same location today.
