What are you? A fucking devil worshiper??? This is a CHRISTIAN board, please leave

Should take more pics of burning children

>>3127815
Do you have any actual combat photos? Also I'm surprised they trust a marine with a camera and not just have the navy do that for you too. Must be easy to get crayon and glue off cameras.

>>3127807
Are you an actual photographer for the military? or soldier with a camera?

There was a thread on here a looong time ago with someone in the air force or navy or something took some awesome photos of helicopters and stuff with his fuji. Can anyone link?

>>3127807
>be me

I wanted to do combat camera for the Canadian armed forces but there's a wait list and no other roles in our proud forces really interest me.

Probably would've flunked basic anyway.

>>3127866
Canadian armed forces.lol

>>3127853
There was also that dude with something like a Pentax K-5. I remember there was a pic of it sitting in the turret of a HMMWV on top of a bunch of .50 cases, and another one where he was washing off the dust caked camera in the barrack's showers.

>>3127853

Fuck I remember that dude. He was part of a V-22 Osprey detachment and shot on an X100, did some really good stuff and I can't believe he isn't in my /p/ folder someone has to have his work. He was anon.

>>3127966
Can we summon him? Im sure he frequents this place. And I'm sure he'd be attracted to a military photo thread

ANON! Please show yourself!!!!

>>3127966
>shot on an X100,
XT1 and 56 1.2

>>3127970
are you him?

>>3127969

If he is on deployment he may not have access to the interwebs

>>3127807
>>3127815
Get that snapshit out of here, propagandaist.

>>3127987
I know for a fact he's not on deployment

>>3127987
He's a POG with a V-22 detachment, of course he'll have internet. It might not be good internet, and he might not get to use it s frequent as back home, but he'd have it. It's not like he's some SF dude spending weeks in the field marinating in his own piss.

Wew, got a lot of hate for some reason. Don't understand how my photography isn't cool or interesting. Thanks everyone.

(btw not on deployment, but on a training exercise and don't have NCMI access to get to DVIDS for more of my photos.)

>>3128317
This is /p/, everyone get's shit on. Just post the rest of your photos. Believe it or not, despite the shit being talked, we do actually want to see them.

>>3128317
You seem to think everyone here is being mean just for the sake of it, probably because nobody is giving you any real criticism.

>>3127807
The composition of this is just bad and the subject is uninteresting. Just because you can be close to a tank doesn't give you any merits. Your image needs to tell a story. Why is the tank there? Is there a conflict in this scene? You need to tell the audience without having to write a paragraph along the image.

>>3127815
This one is better but still uninteresting, this time because of your framing and DOF. You decided to use a shallow dof but decided to focus on his helmet/shoulder patch for some reason. The first thing that pops into view when the audience looks at this is the rocket (highlight and yellow contrast), and they can clearly see it's out of focus. So is the guy's face, and so is the guy in the background. The result of all this is a confusing image where the audience has no idea what story you're trying to tell. This photo would have done a lot better with a wider angle/dof and shot closer, IMO.

Given the dramatic nature of war photography it's really important to seamlessly tell a story with your images. Keep that in mind when you shoot. Good luck.

>>3128317
Because your photos are shit.

Pick something more memorable.

Eh I'm not too hurt by anyone here. I can tell you that civilian photography and military photography are two different beasts at this point, judging on how this thread has gone, the latter being completely objective.

Furthermore, both pictures I have posted are part of two separate storyboards, so with other pictures combined plus the captions, they tell a greater story. That's how military photojournalism works.

Lastly, to the anon who gave me some great advice, it's greatly appreciated. Often times my photography reflects the DINFOS standard, so I try and break away from that strict guideline they set, and advice like yours helps with that. So again, thank you.

>>3128355
Like I said in an earlier post, /p/ shits on people for the fun of it. Post your photos, who gives a shit about what some retards on an anime board have to say about it? Just post them, and post the captions along with the photos to give context and tell whatever story you have. I want to see them

>>3128378
Seconding this.

>>3128355
Post more plz

This is how it's done. OP's looks like he bumped his camera on something and it went off, and happened to have something in the frame.

Light makes a huge difference in any given scene. The way you're handling it could use some work IMO.

>>3127807
It's around mid-day, so the sun is above everything which creates short shadows and harsh light. You did well to "correct" it but for the future, try at least having it lit from the side. It doesn't have to be bang on perfect since I realize things happen when they happen, but I digress.

>>3127815
The man nearest the viewer has his face shaded off. This instantly kills whatever emotional impact might have occurred by seeing his face (which ideally wasn't obstructed by sunglasses but I realize why those were on).

>>3127807
OP, care posting more of your stuff?

My memory was playing tricks on me. It wasn't a c130 and it wasn't dawn - it was this. Epic shot.

Also nice entrance.

I don't get why people aren't into the tank. PP could be a little punchier but there's nothing wrong with bright light, just got to play to its strengths.

It's a little too close to the edges of the frame, but otherwise it's a nice photo
