A photograph taken by one of my students
This is a nice image taken recently by one of my students, Steve Morrow. I think he might have some talent.

It's a great shot. If I was being picky I'd say the man firing the rocket has two heads which is a little off putting, but if I managed to capture a shot like this I wouldn't care since it is such a brilliant image. Your student should be justifiably proud. Peter

MAtt,

Not too much, I hear. He just needed to add in the shell, smoke and flames. g.

That is one stunning shot. A credit to both you and your student Matt.

WOAH!!!
The old Carl Gustav 84mm! Fired that once or 100 times! What a horrid peice of weaponry. For those who havent had the honour, firing it is like being punched in the balls and the face at the same time! What a great shot. The photog should be pretty pleased with himself. MAybe send it to Army magazine for inclusion? Very nice indeed! 2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

Sweet shot. Notice how one of the other blokes is looking the other way!!
It's a great shot with fantastic timing and exposure, but it's a pity he cut the soldiers feet off. Steve.

The image has had very littlle P/Processing except for some sharpening. The light was fantastic and the photographer was in the right spot at the right time (which is the art of photography) He took about 5 or 6 frames and snagged exactly was he was hoping to get. The image has already been published in the ARMY newspaper and this paper is delivered to Australian soldiers both here at home and to those serving overseas. So it has had International distribution. The lens was a F2.8 80-200mm AF Nikkor. Having fired this weapon myself a long time ago I can attest that it is much like someone swinging 2 frying pans at your head....one over each ear. I suspect that for those on the recieving end the experience is even more sublime.
This image demonstrates once again that the D70 is a fine camera capable of professional quality imagery....and that the image is always more important than the equipment used to capture it. Regards

That second head that you see will always be there. His job is to ensure that nobody strays into the area rear of the weapon where the back-blast would kill them. The rear of the weapon is almost as dangerous as the front. Steve...I'm not sure that the soldiers feet would add anything to the impact of the image. I think most viewers are not looking that far down. It says something for your ability to scan the entire image frame with a critical eye. I gotta respect that! I'll send him back and tell him to get it right next time. Regards

i have an older sister in the army, which means she's not home very much, but she will love this, cant wait to show her...

Spot on Matt this student is GOOD- great eye and technique. Terrific image Grace the cover of any army recruitment magazine-better still a full length poster. Beautifully timed
cheers marco
You're right Matt, i am perhaps being too critical. (I can't help it) It's just that the image is beautifully balanced horizontally, but much less so in the vertical. To my eyes it makes the image slightly unbalanced.However, full credit goes to your student. This is an extraordinarily difficult shot to pull off and he has done a remarkable job of getting it this good. This is one of those shots that he will no doubt be proud of for his entire life, and he will be well justified for thinking that. I look forward to seeing it in the Army News when it comes out (and gets delivered)
I'm sure he would love to have another opportunity to shoot this type of image. I hope he gets plenty Steve.

I think that the photographer has framed this image to perfection or damn near to it.
He did a great job to stay focused on what he wanted to say with the shell and back blast without being drawn into the must get the feet in the shot mentality. IMHO had he tried to get the feet in the rest of the shot would have suffered for it. So not only do I agree with Matt K when he says that the soldiers feet would not add any thing to the image, I believe that they would have taken away from it. Matt, when you say you think he has some talent perhaps you are understating a bit. I'm guessing that when a student turns in an image like this you feel a great sense of pride in the job you do. Congrats to you both, it's a sensational image. Mark

refresh, or try a few times. The file is still at the link.
Last resort, right click on red cross, get properties, and go to the link

oh!works now! THANKS
I was thinking... then just felt like looking at the picture again ---
Equipment: camera body, wide lens, standard lens, telephoto lens, flash Wish list: skill
ah Mr Charlie Guts Ache! lovely weapon to fire
Yeh, i saw this shot in the army rag bout 2-3 months ago. great capture. I've captured a 84 as well, took me a few hundred shots before i got it. also have a few shots like this too with a varierty of different weapons systems... 66mm, 40mm gla, etc
the dude firing the 84 has a 66 strapped to him... talk about poor supervisory/safety staff !
nice shot though, shame about the guy's head behind the person firing it, he is facing the other way and looks a bit weird.
the 84 is a 2 man crew weapon... loader and firer, so doesn't seem odd to someone who knows why he is there and looking at the bbda. making sure no one is within a 50m, 1600mil area behind it, otherwise they get a new hairdo
dude in orange vest would be the safety supervisor.
