you need to serve at least 10 years in the Army and be a minimum of Corporal in rank before you are even considered for selection. If successful, you are then invited to a weeks selection - with up to 15 other wanabees. The week consists of interviews, aptitude tests, english and maths exam...

you know what I have.......its getting more sand filled and scratched day by day!!!!

Some nice shots. Would make an excellent night time location for a photoshoot with lights/flash.

you can^^^^^ just get out there and shoot images. My advice is go and shoot a subject or sport etc that you have never shot before. People always stick to what they are comfortable with, this leads to "boring" images. lets say....you have never been to a "POLO" match - you would see things...

well done mate.....hope something more can come from it....you never know?

hmmm this could be fun lol see what I can do....Afghan V's Health & Safety !!!

Be patient with the whole Blog thing.....I only created it last week, don't have a clue about running one. It will be a slow learning process.

Why aren't the 2 B&W images uploading correctly???....grrr

couple from tonight, should be in The Observer next Sunday morning....keep your eyes peeled.

Thanks mate I am having so much fun out here....best of all the guys just love having Photographs taken of themselves.

get yourself some pocket wizards ( second hand)....best investment ever. Will open up so many horizons for your photography. Wireless radios for flash - mine work upto 1600ft.

Brought my pocket wizards out with me to Afghan. Looking to get some memorable portraits in and around camp. Didn't think I would use them for obvious reasons, but when things are quiet it is a good time to play. I like the atmosphere it can give a portrait or "still life" I took these...

would of chosen this one I think Good luck to the winner anyway, some great shots entered.

wiash I had entered my "door gunner" image, forgot this was running.

we tend to be "bidded for" and a request will go into my boss who is the head of Media operations, he will then decide whether or not he can make a story from it in order to go into a either a regional newspaper or a national newspaper. Failing that I can ask to go out with almost any unit...

You have spelt the word AMATEUR incorrectly on your opening sentence on your Homepage!!!!

I know some of you want to know what gear I use, and how it is carried. I have the choice of 2 weapons. Carbine/or Rifle. I carry 2 x D3's 70-200mm and a 24-70mm with a 14-24mm in my bag. the carriage of 2 cameras is a pain in the arse but essential to be able to react to any situation. Be...

I am a an Army ( Defence) Photographer attached to Media Operations with 19 Brigade. We are a group of only 40 Photographers/Video cameramen in the world. I am usually based at Wilton in the UK with Headquarters Land Forces Media Ops group. Our job is to document and record day to day life...

another 2 months....and I am loving it. Missing my Girlfriend dog and car...but the photography is awesome.

Subjects are getting more varied this week.....aside from the helicopters, `i actually got to meet some locals. For the Phots amongst you all, it is an amazing place if you can put the shootings and IED's to the back of your mind. Light is a bit harsh between 10 am and 2pm.

if you have an SB800 ( or equivalent)- just stick in on "FP" and you can shoot upto your cameras maximum Shutter/speed providing you have good ambient light. Rather than sticking to your cameras maximum sync speed of 1/250th.

last 2 of the day.....not the best but hey I am knackered now!!!

photobucket is destroying the colours/contrast out of my images for some reason But here are a few more teasers from this afternoon. For anyone interested in the techy side of things you will notice that the rotors in all of my flying shots have some degree of movement, this is vital when...

I am a bit past that stage mate - I am an Army photographer not a wannabe with a mobile phone wanting to post up the latest firefight on youtube! As for "free reign" yes apart from an Apache cockpit I can get pretty much anywhere I like.

Hi guys Well I finally made it out here, and boy is it hot!!! mid day reaches 50 degrees in the sun - so far the D3's are holding up, but the sand gets everywhere. The cameras get that hot you need to wear gloves to hold them or you risk scolding your pinkies! Heat shimmer is also a big...

Shutter priority because there will be times when I want deliberate movement, so I can just preset the camera with dedicated s/speeds to suit the situation. No need for Auto iso when I can just leave it on 1600 iso all day long. The metering is so accurate that the 2 auto modes ...."just work"...

^^^^^....I have been told to keep it on 1600 iso 24/7. For what we use the images for, the quality is very good. It mean I can go up and down the whole Fno range during the daytime hours from 2.8 - 22 something I simply could not do with my D2x. I will get out a shoot a carnival today to see...

not sure why 2 threads have been opened.....can a mod please merge images
