The exercise followed a fictitious storyline, but called for the employment of real-world assets. While French and U.S. forces conduct frequent combined training events, this was the first exercise of this type between the two nations in Djibouti. The U.S. forces involved are assigned to Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa, or CJTF-HOA. CJTF-HOA works with coalition partners, such as the French, and with countries in East Africa to promote regional security and stability. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sergeant Christopher Ruano)

Taken several weeks ago whilst on vacation...... not sure if this doesn't fit in better with the last assignment rather than this one, but hey, it is crosslit.....
Strobist Info: From memory 1 550ex to the left of camera (sitting on my camera bag) at 1/4 power. 1/250th at 5.6.
Before & After
First of all, this photo is a self portrait (armado aos cágados).
It was shot with a Nikon D3200, Tamron 17-50, and one flash unit and yongnuo flash triggers. (The best my money can buy... ahaha).
The photo was edited using a bunch of techniques in Photoshop:
1st - Cleaned the background using curves, dodge and burning tools to make a mask (notice the hair);
2nd - Cleaned the face, using frequency separation (it works like the high pass filter), clone tool and patch tools;
3rd - Brightened the eyes, painting freely around the eyes using light colors and blured them at the end;
4th - Took care of the wrinkles in the clothes, combining the spot healing brush with the patch tool;
5th - Last but not least, used dodge and burning tools and a fill layer with 50% grey.
PHLEARN - Big HUG - if you want to learn too, go and watch the videos on youtube.

As the MSNBC journalists work to file their next story, the team is approached by a lobbyist hoping to add spin to the story. Cadets represented various print and television media to cover the issue of immigration reform in Congress. The Congressional Simulation Exercise was designed to give about 120 West Point cadets in the SS202 and SS252 (American Politics) courses a hands-on, real-world simulation of government in action. Participants absorbed the role of legislators, journalist, lobbyists and presidential advisers in a daylong capstone exercise to see who could use political capital to create the best outcome for their group.
