“登船保安檢查點 Crew Boarding Security Checkpoint” / USS Peleliu (LHA-5) in Hong Kong / SML.20130418.6D.01444

A tattoo-laden US Navy officer at the crew boarding security checkpoint tried to figure out what that giant scope was pointing at him—obviously, it was my lens, which is longer than some of the machine guns employed at the military.

 

His colleague on the other hand was too busy fiddling with his phone to notice me. Meanwhile, the security team from Hong Kong just gave me blank stares the whole time I was photographing them.

 

Nice tattoos! Interesting socks also—a bit unusual for this weather. Pants are a bit too short for my taste—though I suppose it is more practical to wear pants which do not go all the way to the ground for combat purposes.

 

He is very far away—this is a 400mm / ISO 12800 shot.
