“These boots are made for walking” / 持槍武裝美國海軍 Armed camouflaged US Navy / USS Peleliu (LHA-5) in Hong Kong / SML.20130418.6D.01504

An extreme close-up of the camouflaged naval officer courtesy of the 100-400.

 

His carbine is loaded, but I am not sure why it was taped together with masking tape. At 400mm, I noted that he is married, as a silver wedding ring is on his left hand holding the massive gun.

 

Interestingly I note that his pants are either button-flied or ripped. If you look at full resolution you can see the torn stitches so I think that they are ripped. I do like these boots though. Note that the ties are completely concealed inside. Also, apparently the US Navy uses Motorola radios.

 

Photographed at ISO 12800 + 400mm: and you see why this recent purchase was a very sound decision indeed. It really is great for photojournalism uses.
