I commend you sir for still fitting in your uniform. Mine is a little too snug now. Thank you for your service.
Go Army Beat Navy! :)

Last fall I was 50 pounds over my military weight, but have dropped it and now fit well in the uniform again coming up on 6 years retired. We did this photo shoot as part of a strobist club shoot working with lighting.

Thanks to all. It was a fantastic career over more than 35 years. Finished up at NORAD-USNorthcom working issues that had me traveling the world my last 6 years of active duty.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken during a group of friends who formed a "Strobist Club" based on the infamous Strobist 101 blog featuring ways to improve the use of speedlights in your photography. Several of us planned this out with snoots pointing at my face, my rank, and my ribbons.

Time

Evening indoors.

Lighting

Three stobes with snoots.

Equipment

Canon 5DMIII, manfroto tripod, 3 Canon 580EX-II strobes with Commander transmitter, Canon EF 24-70 lens.

Inspiration

Learning better use of speedlights.

Editing

Minimal.

In my camera bag

2 5D MIII, Tripod, 3 Strobes and transceiver, 5-in-1 reflector, light stands with modifiers, lots of batteries, small Grip kit, Gary Fong commercial modifier kit.

Feedback

Look up Strobist 101, and then 102, on Google.
