D-Day by Robert Capa

Shot by one of my idols the great Robert Capa, who is reputed to be responsible for introducing Nikon to the West. As well as starting the famous Magnum Agency. Apparently he picked up a Nikon F on his travels during the early years of the second world war.

The amazing thing about this shot from Life Magazine is the fact that they mention that Capa shot 106 pics on this landing in Normandy, and all but 10 were ruined by the Lab.
