[Rhino172]

bloody amazing this pic!

+1 says so much

although compared to the others looks so obviously "staged" for the photo i think

the chopper is the best i feel

 

[planetx]

my turn in 9 months!!!

A quick link from a mate of mine Adrian, he was out there a a year ago.
When people say to me "why do they need Phots in the Army" it really gets my goat up....
anyway take 5 and sit back and watch this.

my turn in 9 months!!!

with your bloody great lens you'd be able to take them from home lol

Whoever it is, the guy's got skills. The soldier one does look a little staged, but it's still great. Like the helicopter and the one with the earth up in the air after the explosion.

[Coby.]

Some of them Pics really hit it home as to what those Guys and Girls are going through and the s**t Treatmant and Wages they get from our Government

 

[Clart]

Very good. The one with the motar and RPG launching are quality.

I bet he needs to clean his sensor regularly!

 

[Sash]

My thoughts are always with the guys and girls in the army, as i have some very good friends almost family who have been on several tours over there, always on edge when there are casualties.

 

[Marky_]

Some amazing photography. I wouldn't fancy being out there to take pics.

 

[Andy.]

Are the photogs armed when they are out there? I imagine that wearing a bright press vest is not recommended as it just makes you an easier target.

 

[planetx]

course we are armed........the Taliban are quite resiliant to a D2x believe it or not.

 

[Andy.]

They see that Nikon tag and run for the hills.

So we can spend more on benefits for lazy white trash and immigrants I guess.

Very very good pics there. Takes a very brave man/woman to go over there. Not sure I could.

 

[BenWall]

I wouldn't mind being a photographer in the armed forces, just had a quick look on the internet, doesn't seem to be any jobs dedicated to photography.

 

[planetx]

only 39 Army Photographers ( worldwide)
Its a job that you get through reputation and completion of an intense 9 month course at the Defence school of Photography.
RAF can join as a direct entrant into the trade and am not sure about the sailors.

You telling me they don't drop there guns, do a gay pose or get their arse out?

 

[ukaskew]

Do they still use Olympus E-1s? Seem to remember reading about it once, the only camera sealed well enough to cope with certain conditions.

 

[planetx]

D2x in the Army, although they are now juggling over a 1Ds mklll or a D3???
knowing the Army they won't decide until end of the financial year...when something bigger and better comes out.
Where as we always bought kit, they will now be turning to a lease system.
