The Drum Major
Uploaded: January 23, 2003
This soldier in this portrait is a good friend with whom I served in the 389th Army Band at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. The lighting for this shot was simple, two strobes in white umbrellas and a light on the background. I remember that I did "cheat" a little and used some dulling spray on the ball-end of the mace to kill some of the nasty glare. Nikon F, Vivitar 70-210 Series 1 @100mm, Kodak Ektachrome 64.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
