Description
This was one of the many photos I took as a Marine Corps Photographer.This was taken during a Change of Command Ceremony at the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, Belle Chasse, La. Pretty much it was 2 Generals passing the command over to one another.
Regardless I thought this was a really good photo

Indeed, there is something about driving your heels into the parade deck that gives you a sense of pride... I miss that.

Wow, great picture indeed! Don't know how i missed it. I bet you make promotion pictures look fun, lol.
Guess i'll be seeing a lot of that, eh?

Yea, that was my job... to make a really boring ceremony look like it was epic... thus is the life of a Combat Photographer

ehehe I don't know much about photography. But I do like how the light shines on everything, and the uniformity of the picture, esp. the shadows? on the ground.
I like how you've brought the people in focus, and blurred the background.
Gives me the impression of a crisp/early morning.
Cool! You worked as a marine corps photographer! xD

Lol it's cool, they were in formation which is why they are all uniform 
I was a Marine Photographer for 4.5 years, I learned alot while I was in

Yes it seems like you have learnt a lot! I keep forgetting how photography is more complex than it seems.

Very very nice. I always liked military ceremonies, but I suppose that's a side effect of being an army brat.

Now that I think about it... my husband is going back in... so he might get his ceremony for retirement too

Exactly, I never had to stand still for an eternity. Must be horribly boring. The only excitement is if someone locks their knees and then falls over . . .

Very nice photo. I like the depth of field, and the overall photo weighs well. Seems like a lot of ceremony to just say "your in charge now."
Our tax dollars at work!

Ha ha ha excatly... you wouldn't believe me if i told you that I had to take pictures of the wife and kids too... 
but your tax money did give me a adequate camera to take photos with ^_~ (too bad i couldn't take it with me when I left

Ha, I knew they overstepped their authority!
I think there were a few generals that lost their lives in the civil war....I guess they learned from that to stay far away from where the actual bullets fly.
I would have let you take the camera.

HA HA HA yea right that camera kit i had cost over 3,000... there's no way I could claim combat loss on that and get away with it

You could try....
I'm lucky enough to be supplied by my employer with such toys. Although I am pricing one for myself now, just can't keep away from those shiny toys!!!
