Nice pictures Lewis, especially the ones taken in the C-130!!
That bird is a little newer than the ones I practically lived on in Viet Nam in 1967 to 1970!!

Yes they did. I hope they appreciate the step up from D300's to full frame D810's

To soon to tell how they will work out. I have had a personally owned D800 since they came out. Incredible colors and tone. Even more impressive files sizes If you are moving into 36MP RAW full frame from crop frame 10-15MP then go ahead and buy a USB3 card reader and a computer that can move that kind of data around. The 5 fps is kind of slow for sports, you have to get your timing right.

Oh and I have a file on my desktop named "anyone can take good photos with a pro camera" that contains crap. The latest works are taken with the D810 and a $2000 Nikon lens. With $5000.00 in his hands the guy turned in four portraits taken at four feet outside in good light. And there is not a thing in focus in the photos. Nothing. I would have to look at the settings in the exif data at the office, but I remember wondering how anybody could come up with that combination of shutter speed, f stop, and ISO.

Check back in a few months and we will see how it is going.

Actually it goes back to 1979. Those are Firing Port Weapons. special built to fire from inside a closed up Bradley Fighting Vehicle. where the M-16 was to long to use inside and the Bbl to short to swing much of an arc outside the port.

I Remember hearing about them at the time. I have never seen one before.

The M4 has long rendered the Firing Port Weapon moot.

Shooting Cheap Trick from below the stage. Took a quick look to be sure my settings were right when something struck me on the nose.
Looked up and Rick Nielsen had thrown his guitar pick at me. He was laughing at me. I knew he would not hear me over the music, and with the industrial grade earplugs he had in, so I just mouthed "you son of a bitch" He saw what I said and laughed harder. He also continued to pelt me with picks during the set.

I've always loved your shots...but those Cheap Trick ones bring back memories. Back in college, a couple of friends and I went to a concert and ended in something like the third row. Both friends were female and one was blessed up top, and Nielsen decided to flick some picks at her blessings. I was excited for the free souvenirs, she was not so much. He was like a ninja with those things. I remember his mike stand was just studded with picks up and down. That reminds me I need to give her a call to see if she still has her picks.

I always like the sharpness and clarity of the images you post. The light and shadow in the last boxer image is real nice.

Thanks, sometimes the light falls right.
That was the worst lit boxing, in fact, any sporting event I have ever shot. Four lights strait down in the center of the ring, and no other lighting. Step out of the center, because well its a fight, and you stepped into a cave.

Lewis, thanks for the post up in the zoo that led me here. Great stuff all around

I'm jealous if you get paid to go to 'Canes games! I hope you get to see them play the Sharks, "my" team.

I don’t always take good photos, but sometimes I get to take important ones.
SFC Harry L. Ettmueller, USA (Ret) was captured in the battle of Hue on 05 February 1968. In 1973 after 1857 days of captivity he was released during Operation Homecoming, the return of 591 American prisoners of war held by North Vietnam.He was visiting Fort Brag as part of the AFVN (American Forces Vietnam Network) reunion.

Command Master Chief Joe Ciokon USN (Ret) covered the Vietnam War during the 1968 TET Offensive as a broadcast journalist and photographer. His photographs show the Viet Cong dead inside the American embassy compound in Saigon. He was also in the building next door to Beirut Marine Barracks on October 23, 1983 when a Hezbollah truck bomb destroyed it killing 241 American service personnel.

These solders have been in the field for five days. (and as of these photos have not been inside to clean up yet)They have been living in tents and eating MRE’s. During that time they have been tested in the field on Tactical Combat Casualty care, Medical and Casualty evacuation skills, Warrior skills, and Communications tasks, while under fire. They must complete a 12 mile road march with field gear in less than three hours and pass a land navigation course. There is also a written test. Out of a starting group of 278 candidates 78 earned the Expert Field Medical Badge.

Hi guys
Something is wrong and I cant figure it out. For some reason I see X's instead of my photos.
On home and work computers I still dont see all the photos. In fact I dont see most of the photos.
MAC's and windows systems. locations 70 miles apart logged in or not I get the same results.

Can anyone see all the photos?

Let me know.

Nothing shows for me. And none of your prior submission are showing either. Server might be down.

Thanks, Suspected as much. After consulting with Rick I think the host site broke some , but not all of the links.

I will probably just drop this. It would take a few days of work to replace all of the missing photos that I put up a few at a time over the last couple of years.
