    I love how the colors in the tank--the light tan, the darker brown, and the silver brightened from the flash of the camera--match those of the soldier himself.
  • Steve Crane said:
    Awesome lighting here.
  • Marcel Diebold said:
    Yes, i didn´t know they had such a good eye for the lightning at that time allready. Amazing.

    This is amazing.
  • Chris Gruhl said:
    Off camera bulb flash triggered with a cable that must have been run through a hatch. Slightly lower power (or diffused) on camera flash used for fill. Heck of a composition. This guy was way ahead of his time for lighting!

    I assume it was intentional to have photograph a crewman with such a dirty face.

    Possibly M3 "General Lee" tanks. I think the 'Grant' was the British version.
