Nonsense!! You should have seen the size of the camera that took this....Heavier than the radio it was. mmmm that lovely hazy dawn light trapped on film for ever.

It's crazy for me to think that right now I'm sitting working in an office (should be working I should say) and next week I will be training in the worlds finest Military Band.
Wow! |

flash photography in the field is axctually encouraged, especially when it is the dead of night.
Or ... just before first light is always a good time totake photos, the light quality, when you use the flash, is superb. many of the Naval photographic competitions have been won by people who have done this very same thing. |
Oh my poor sides - pass me another rib someone...
