Different Photos... Options

[stevealmighty]

To avoid hijacking another thread, it was recommended that I start a different thread so that we could share some of the really neat photos that we've taken over the years.

Really quick, I'm a digital photographer working for the government at an Army base. It's the 10th Mountain Division, located at Fort Drum, NY. It's also the most deployed division in the United States Army, and has been involved in every major deployment since the 80's, and even some minor ones that didn't really make the national or world news. I was stationed there for 5 long years while I was active Army. My job is to "document the Divisions history", but it entails more than just that (all other duties as assigned....those who served know what I mean ). I'll post a picture every now and again, some of my better shots, or just different shots. It'll be a lot of military stuff, so if you're prior service you might get a kick out of them. While the photos are digital, there are NO alterations to them, aside from color corrections and taking out dust/dirt/water spots on my lens.

Feel free to comment about them, or ask questions about them. I'll be glad to chat about any of the photos I took.

This first one here I just love! It's of some 10th Mountian soldiers who were deploying in support of the war on terrorism just after 9/11. These guys were some of the VERY FIRST troops to be deployed from the division.

Again, no digital adjustments made to this, although when I saved it for the web, it was considerably darker than the original.
