Location
I took this image while I was in the U.S. Navy. I was working with a fellow Navy Spec Ops team during a training exercise and brought my brought my camera with me. I took this image as the jump master rolled out of the back of the MH-60s Helicopter.Time
AfternoonLighting
N/aEquipment
I used a Nikon D50 with my Kit lens (18-55mm).Inspiration
My job in the Navy was very unique and I got to see and do a lot of cool thing. When I was able to I would document it not only for myself but my photos would be used for the Navy's PR.Editing
There was no editing on this image, this was straight out of camera. Because my photos were being used by the Navy I was not allow ed edit them. In the long run this help me out a lot because i had to become an expert on nailing the proper expose the first time.In my camera bag
Nikon D800, Nikon 7100, Nikon 70-200mm F/2.8, Nikon 16-35mm F/4, Sigma 35mm F/1.4, Nikon SB-910, Manfroto 190PROCX4 Tripod, Nikon MC-36A, Lee Big Stopper, B+W CP Filter, Pocketwizards Plus III (x2).Feedback
Make sure your shutter speed is fast enough to freeze the action, and if you are interested in photographing from a helicopter make sure you are able to open a window so you don't have to shoot through glass.
