They stand so proud in front of the camera, they barely have 2 pennies to rub together - so imagine their...
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 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.

Working on this idea for a while.....
Have already posted in the media section, but feel I will get better opinions in here - as people tend to be into their photography more than slating the fact I drive a phase1!!!
It is a composite of several images.
The interior shot was taken whilst...
Pic of my new toy alongside Debs Vee....nothing too fancy just some happy snaps.
Loving ownership of it since getting rid of the cup, starting to prepare myself mentally for the wet winter ahead.:S
Couple of pics taken tonight at the local ramp park.
ignore the fact my name is plastered over half the images, but these were given to the local kids...( free advertising for me).
A mate of mine spotted and took this on his phone yesterday.
He alreadys rips me for my stripes on my RB182 saying "boy racer etc"
He owns a mint R32
I always tell the whole "HERITAGE" story etc etc. (every day)
Then he spots this ....and to him confirms that clio's with stripes are...
