Other than the bit of darkness in #2 you did a good job of showing the "before" of the gas chamber,,, of course the "after" is the real fun part..... hehe

#1 is my fav. Somehow the wedding band helps the photo, although I can't say why.

The darkness was intentional as I really to just get a silhouette of the Marine with the gas mask and not much more of the detail .. i don't know if I did that

Those are more like snapshots - lol - but yes fun indeed!!!

Still happens ... lol

So, any criticism on the PP? Also on #3 which version you like better?

You aren't alone - I also like the band along with a few of my friends ..

I like the 3rd shot better than the fourth, love the series and am also curious about the PP in #1 and #3

[RiKaN HaVoK]

what do you want to know Kaj?

Over all on 1-3 where saturation, contrast, vignette, minimal sharpening, warming filter I believe and maybe 1 or two other things ...

did not care for the disco hut.

any more from this series?

Agreed. The muted colors give the pic some grittiness. I think it's my favorite pic of the bunch. However, I think it's still too clean and needs some dirt rubbed on it. I don't know what it's called, but I've seen photos that have black speckled "noise" added to them that might make this pic really stand out. Vignetting might also work.

The after gas chambers are more like fun shots ...

I dont know how to add anything but noise .. lmao

[nprdavid]

sorry..disco hut is what the ARMY called it where I went.

[24alpha]

Great shots....awesome DOF!
I hated gas training!!! Snot and tears for days!!!

[txsnurse]

I like #3 much better then 4, FWIW

[Lonnie]

#2 is my favorite. I think gas masks look cool from below, alien-like. The best time to shoot is when people are taking off a gas mask they've worn for a few hours. That's always a lovely sight. :)

Your pics are nice and sharp. I certainly prefer the compositon of the first four as opposed to the wide angle group shots. Good stuff.

Ah, that brings back memories. Horrible, horrible memories. I hated the gas chamber. Nice images. I think only someone who has been there can truly appreciate the suckiness of the experience. I do miss the Army, though.

I like the first pic of the mask, first edit of the guy with the mask and both from your later post
