Nice shot! Looks like it was fun, but since when does a US Marine need a glove to punch through glass?
Actually, thank you, and yes...I wore a glove (insert humble look), and I STILL cut my darn arm...live and learn! (next time 5 panes, no glove, in my skivies?!?)
Ooh-rah!!!
so, if this is you punching the glass, how did you take the shot.........
Simply using a wireless cable release in the free hand... I can set up and trigger my own shot from up to 100 meters away...IMO it's the best tool other than a sturdy tripod that every photographer with a DSLR should have
Smart to use a glove. Maybe the Marines just taught him not to take unnecessary risks and to use the protective equipment available? There's a difference between looking tough and being stupid.
Agrred kyricom.. was joking . Author, how many shots did it take? It seems the mechanics of simultanious punch and shutter release are harder than it sounds.
Swanze, it actually only took one take to get this shot..(3 shots in the take). By that, I mean I only punched once and my camera and flash can take 7.5 frames per second and was able to catch this immediately after a few "practice" shots to balance the flash. I just then, punched and simultaneously pushed the remote release in my other hand and was able to get the result I was looking for. I have had a bit of practice dropping things and such with the remote release and have gotten my timing faily close on most occasions.
@ kyricom...yes, you are correct...dead Marines are useless on the battlefield...
I don't know Author I was under the impression that when faced with the choice of looking tough and looking smart Jarheads always went with tough And I thought Marines never die, they just go to hell and regroup!
thanx for the explanation, great shot btw!
Being ex-military, I'll hold off on the Marines jokes... only coz I know they never get it.....
Great shot BTW and thanks for the explanation, now I'm convinced that some Pxl people just have way too much time on there hands
Best of luck
