Nice hat.
Is that a Red Alert 3 shirt Marty is wearing? Nice pics man.
I'm just glad the angle was enough so I didn't have to censure the patch on my hat... hehe.
No idea if that's what the shirt's from... I'll have to ask.
Looks like a good time Fred.
What gloves are you wearing?
They're a version of these-
http://www.mechanix.com/the-original-vent-glove
What kind of set-up do you use to take these pics? They always turn out so well.
I'm running a Nikon D40 with a 35mm primary lens.
Oh, other sneaky trick... these are the choice shots out of about 400.....
My EX-FH25 (crappy point and shoot with high FPS capabilities) can do a 40fps burst mode at full resolution. It's begging to be used for recoil shots...
Those gloves look pretty neat, I'm guessing you got them due to your connections? Wish they'd do some just like yours with differently colored synthetic leather (like say OD green, or brownish) and the elastic cuff that they put on the fast-fit gloves.
I can pass that along... I wouldn't mind tan ones either.
Having come from a 35mm film background, I love the fact that I can fire off a few hundred shots, with no reloads, and not worrying about developing and printing costs. Digital rocks.
35mm film is a distant memory of my childhood. Guess I'm not old enough to appreciate 16GB SD cards. :)
I've always wondered if it's a technical reason why Mechanix doesn't make their synthetic leather in any color other than black, or an economic (economy of scale) reason.
I've got two sets of gloves that I shoot with. One is a set of old dark grey fast-fits and they're my favorite. I also have some of their newer tactical series in coyote or FDE or whatever. The m-pact version started to fall apart immediately while I was at AT last year. The other set (which look like regular mechanix gloves colored coyote) have been holding up great.
I'm only running 8GB in that camera... And I'm not that old... just traditionaly trained. 8D
