Oberst (Colonel) Deutsches Afrika Korps and Bic pen

Erin... do you use a polarizer? This shot would be much better with a little 'sky'... Great Capture.. !!

OK.. I know 6/6 is a notch above the norm... upon closer inspection.... In the words of 'Lyle Lovett'... "is it too late.. can I make that a cheeese burger?".... Clone out those non-people in the background... I don't do much PhotoShop or graphic work.. really! to my shots... but the broads should go...

Yes Ray, I have polarizers for several of my lense's but not for that particular one (a 15-30 Sigma)The size is 82 millimetres and would vignette at the wide end, as well as severely strain my heart paying out for one that size! Yes, unfortunate that the bright overcast blew out the sky.

 

I did notice the ladies behind the MK111 Panther tank Ray, but decided to leave them in so that observant people like you would know that the Oberst is really only a pretend one but his Bic pen is real!

The Airshow held at Omaka Areodrome features WW1 and WW2 fighter

aircraft flights and fights. Also realistic Infantry Battle re-

enactments. This Wehrmact Officer proudly posed in front of his tank

before going into battle. The battledress jacket is a genuine item.

Comments and critiques welcome.

Thank you for your comment and suggestions Edgar. This image of a Feld Marschal Erwin Rommel lookalike was taken at the same event, but desaturated and grain added as per your suggestion. Is this a "german" face?

The tank is either panther type A or panther type D can't distinguish till i can see the whole turret...I doubt the Wehrmact Officer is for the panther tank since panthers as well as all tiger tanks would have been assigned to only SS officers during the WWII...Wehrmact Officers operated light tanks such as panzerkampfwagen I, II, III, IV plus some self-propelled guns...it's a great shot though!!! thanks for sharing :P <>

my panther type G (late version)

Cool shot!
