Look up those coordinates and you'll see what map he's on.
I'm pretty happy with this.
Took a lot of liberties--Almost as many as I'll be taking with the Assault--for I wanted to have a little more of a Desert Storm-ish fig and I'm satisfied. Obviously not a straightup historical fig of that but it sorta fits ish.
Now, according to Kevin, since I chose to do desert tritone and Woodland on a US LMG'er with an M249, I should just label it 'Iraq 2004.' So here you go Kevs.
Iraq 2004
Ok. We're done. (Even though Kharg Island is in Iran.) Some stuff:
>First try at Tritone
>First time doing Woodland pattern shape-for shape instead of generic Woodland-ish shapes--Another pic later
>Everything on fig sculpted/casted by me
>M249 has working bipod, and the sight, bullet feed and box mag are removable--Another pic later
>Head was originally made to be Willis from Far Cry 3 back when I had problems
Badassery and C4 tank trolling ftw.
Enjoy, guys. :)
I love Sydney, but there's a definite similarity to living and working in a big city and being a bird in a cage.
Bird cages in Angel Place, Sydney.
Most of the dozens of pictures I've taken of Taughannock have showed fog, semi-framing tree branches or some other way to try and make the resulting picture unique.
This straight-up version is certainly not unique, but maybe you will like it anyway.

I could've stayed inside knowing it is cloudy and will be all night. Or I could've assumed the stations may be wrong, and go outside to suddenly see this above my head. Always see for yourself. I was taken off guard by this one and it was one of the best
No ice, no mixers...
After a roughish drive (for a Civic, anyway) and a "I think we're in the right place" hike/climb out into nowhere, we found Moonshine Arch. Big arch, nice scenery, and a number of other little arches and windows to explore right next door.

June 3rd, 2013 - 44 Quiet Nights, Day 5 - Dead Horse Point to Vernal, Utah.
Destination: Vernal, Utah. Setting up for a hike into Dinosaur National Monument, we'd try for one of the state parks north of Vernal, either Red Fleet or Steinaker.
This is taken at No 1 Poultry, an office and retail building located at the junction of Poultry and Queen Victoria Street, by the Bank of England, in the City of London. It was opened in 1997.
The image was taken from the basement area which has a few shops and cafes and an entrance to Bank Underground Station. Nothing special, until you look up. I was especially struck by the beautiful coloured windows in the offices above.
The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens at 10mm. Taken handheld. 3 raw images 2EV spacing with an additional 4th and brighter exposure created in Camera Raw.. Outputted in Photomatix on fusion real estate settings for a natural look for an HDR.
I used Topaz DeNoise and then Topaz Clarity
In Photoshop I used a clarity effect using unsharp mask with settings of 32 amount and 32 radius. A slight vignette was applied using the elliptical marquee tool with a large feather and brightness adjustment.
At the end of my free promotion of my new eBook, Understand Your Camera I had total worldwide downloads of 318 including 199 in the USA and 86 in the UK. For a lot of the period to now the book was No 1 in Amazon free photography books in the UK but also by the end moved up to No 1 in the higher category of Arts and Photography. The book went to No 3 in Photography in the USA. I gained 3 reviews to date and a much higher profile on Amazon. My thanks to everybody who downloaded it.

Colorado Springs, CO - Hot Air Balloons; they are calming, silent, colorful, and wondrously quiet floating giants.
If you have never ridden one I highly suggest you do. To some people it changes their perspective, to others it changes their underwear. Either way you won’t forget it.

Helicopter ambulance from directly below. It was coming in low for a landing by the University Hospital in Edmonton.
Flying overhead was this seagull, so I snagged a pic of it in flight.

I had to get up far too early for a Sunday this morning to taxi my son. However I decided to make the most of it and I packed my camera bag despite the fact that the sky was grey.
Once I dropped him off the sky started to brighten, those grey clouds gave way to a fairly interesting sky.
This image has been done so often by so many photographers but not by me - until now :)

SSC - Looking straight Up
I had plans to visit woodlands or maybe a city centre but time just ran out. Enjoying a glass of wine in the garden I was looking at the arch over the pathway and thought that it might just fit the bill, I took a trial shot with my phone, liked it and decided to go with it. This is looking up through the arch to a lovely blue sky, to the left is my Ash tree (aka Arthur) and to the right a Magnolia grandiflora with the sunlight shining through the leaves.
