M109 A1 emplaced battery

Iranian M109's are resupplied by Chinook.

A quick shot of the artillery battery Mark gave to me - I think I may get some more for dedicated off table artillery positions for operational games.  They won't take spearhead bases but as a terrain piece it really looks the part.

A pity about my photographic skills - I could really do with a photo session with Russ!

Not the same equipment but it gives you a comparison

The photo is actually good, the problem is we rely on our phones to take super pictures when the reality is they are not really specialist cameras.

If you had my Nikon D5300 you would find the camera and lenses available open many new doors and allow you to develop your skills.

I am not expert by any means but I bought a book on photography to teach me the basics about aperture and shutter speed plus ISO settings. It's a very complex subject that requires a fair bit of study and practice. I have taken thousands of photos, most of pretty shite but you learn how to control the exposure and then get an idea how to setup the camera and lens to make it do what you want.

A phone camera is a million miles away from an entry level DSLR
