Hey Guys! We went out for a game of airsoft. The photo shoot was an afterthought. Who ever thought of posting it as POTW? It was that guy in Singapore who may be eating his heart out ;D ;D ;D Anyway thanks Philip. Being POTW in the WW2 Forum is good enough. It was never meant to be. It was supposed to be for our own consumption only and a send-off game for toym. What did we get? A shot at the POTY without even trying Ha! Ha! Ha! Albert you are a genius with the camera!

Haha, Thanks Mon, I do think however it was a joint effort by everyone. As i said, the angle was Perry's idea, Toym suddenly decided to become a corpse. Perry and Erich were in line to run, Philip did some excellent file handling, and the winningest element is Jojo's authentic thousand mile shell shocked stare!

Guys heres one comment on the POTW, he notice Alberts signature......
"Amen to that. The clarity and sharpness of the image with some DOF fading into the background reminds me of some pictures I've seen in period LIFE magazines."

Yes, jojo's a good actor indeed -- or maybe he just remembered his ebay bills at that moment hence the shell-shocked look. |

Ha ha, actually i remember that albert said to look on that direction and i just image that there are bunch of japs attacking, though the Ebay thing is one good tip, it will work well if you want to look shock  ;D |
