How to make your digital WW2 reenactment photos look more authentic!

when I saw you rolling around in that mud with those clothes I just cried lmao

Hahah XD

Trees inside the PoW camp? Was that historical? Very detailed, nice video. How long did it take to make? :)

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Hello Johnson. No, trees inside the POW camp was probably not realistic - and that's why I wanted the smokescreen to hide both the trees and the fact that I was alone (artistic and moody photo). I used the camera angles to try and cheat this fact instead. I did not have permission to take down any of these trees, unfortunately... SO had to make the best out of the situation ;) How long did it take to make the video or the photos? Best regards from Norway! :) :)

[@JohnsonTheSecond]

@@ww2historyandreenacting I meant how long did it take to set the scene up, take photos and then edit them, in total. It looks like quite a lot of work, but the results are very good from all that effort! Thanks for the response.

[@Oberkommando]

Do you have any more footage of the Luftwaffe reenactment at 7:28 that you could share here on KZbin? That impression is absolutely stunning! Great job!

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you so much Andi! :) This footage was just something I quickly put together in the backyard for a video showing off some newly acquired original furniture. There is some more footage in this video. Best regards from Norway :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnKpY6SVhaiEopo

Something about that music was just so calming haha. Thank you for the help. This video was very insightful!

[@vintagemountaineeringandhi6060]

Very cool! Impressive to see this kind of level of commitment to the lifestyle of WW2 reenactment ;)

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you so much my friend, really appreciate that! :) Looking forward to taking some photos together sometime in the future! ;) :)

Amazing content my friend keep up the excellent work! (:

Thank you so much my friend!!! :) :)

[@tostie3110]

I really liked this artistic-styled video alot for a change. The music was nice too! Also, that kopfschutzer doesn't look like the typical repro, much more stretchy and rough knit

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Very happy that you enjoyed the video! The kopfschutzer is from Schusters.ru :) :)

[@ljubavistdiemacht1803]

I ask me for so long how you Make that your insta pics are so authentic

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you :) :)

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for sharing, I think it turned out well. The effects were very realistic in my opinion 👍👏

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you so much Michael, really appreciate that! :)

Intro song?

[@edgarcardiel157]

How do you do recordings??? I want to do a combat video at a tactical but wouldnt know how to not be farb.

[@mariah3491]

Lol@11:27 Any tips for finding old cameras that work? There aren't that many good antique shops in my area. As always, great video thanks for sharing your knowledge. Definitely an asset to the hobby 😁

[@msnvanerik]

One tip I would give; wide angle lenses back then where virtually non-existent. You already get way better pictures by picking a lens of between 40 and 60 mm. Or to zoom in, just a bit. Great video!

[@steven_003]

I was just looking for something similiar a few days ago, thank you!

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you so much Steven - glad this video helped! :)

[@jackr4009]

Would a Kodak 35 work for a US impression?

[@Schoeppingen]

Again a great video 😊👍

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you! :)

[@user-py5qq4ht8l]

I don't make photos at the events I go to nor do I edit photos. Still this video is pretty satisfying and entertaining to watch. I saw online that you guys did an event last weekend or am I wrong about that? If it were you guys can we expect a full video on it, it looked pretty dope.

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you Hugo, I really appreciate the positive feedback! That is correct, unfortunately, we did not do any filming - maybe next time! ;) Best regards from Norway! :)

[@user-py5qq4ht8l]

@@ww2historyandreenacting would love to see more of you guys on actual events! All the members of your group just seem so nice. Also most people here kinda see you as the pope of ww2 german reenactment.

[@papaniky7136]

What site do you use when you are photoshopping the pictures

[@onequisse4935]

I've got photos of me as 82nd airborne but I'll try to make them authentic using your technic !😉

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Awsome! Let me know how it works out! 😊😊

[@crispycleanerboy5002]

Where can i buy these Films? If got an old camera, but i ganz even find the Films, A great Video!

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Thank you! :) Depends on the camera you have I guess :) You can ask at a local camera store or even look at ebay :)

[@crispycleanerboy5002]

@@ww2historyandreenacting OK, thank you!

[@polarjet1833]

Ok I have to ask, what is your intro music called

[@13bravo72]

Great photography there! You look very authentic.👍 An 8 day reenactment, whoa! Now that's hardcore! Have you and your group considered doing some photo ops on actual WW2 German vehicles? Perhaps huddled on the back of a Panther or Sturm Geshutz, or going into action in a halftrack, that's loaded down with gear. That is if they are available to you. Your one picture reminds me of some photos of German troops in the Battle of the Bulge. Well done sir!👍👍👍

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

Double thank you, really appreciate that! Yes, this was part of a 10 day immersion event with a two day tactical/battle event at the end. It was an awesome experience! Taking photos like this would be beyond awesome, unfortunately we have not had the opportunity yet - hopefully in the future! Again, thank you so much! Best regards from Norway! :)

[@colem_h]

So, what type of camera did the German soldier use in this time? I’d prefer something that can be carried in a pocket.

[@ww2historyandreenacting]

There were a lot of different types, quite a few with compact designs. All sorts of prewar cameras were used - My favorite is the Kodak Retina. Its small, compact, uses 35 mm film, and is very user friendly :)

[@colem_h]

@@ww2historyandreenacting Very good then! Thanks!

[@chill-ento6071]

Great video! My great grandfather had a camera during war, it's a good opportunity to see what kind of photos he took, and to be honest: he mostly made tourist-like pictures, also a few war related, but mostly pictures of his friends, buildings, and other every-day-situations. Some off-topic question: could you make a video of leather-care of items like belt, ammo pouches and boots please? It's always easy too get things dirty, but cleaning is something else...

[@alexandersteffen7805]

great job , keep it up!

[@sup520]

That Intro music is so great, is there a full Version?

[@ssoTechnicom]

Both of my grandfathers served in the german army during ww2 and were stationed in norway. I still have tons of pictures of them.

It should be possible to insert digital camera electronics into a period correct camera... even without destroying the camera...
