I got a chance to drive a tank and shoot action in a training field. This is the result of around 3 hours on the field. There are lots of other photos which I cant publish due to security reasons.
It was an amazing experience to see these massive seemingly invincible vehicles in action. I was often hypnotized by the mass and power they exuded while on the move. 1000+ bhps working to get such a humongous mass on the move with only one purpose - defeat the enemy. Even the training 'safe' environment was hostile - with the hard sun beating down and the GIANT clouds of dust being given birth by these metal behemoths was amalgamation enough to bring out more than a sweat. I shudder to imagine how must be the conditions in the real battlefield where the nature is the least of your enemies. A big salut to the soldiers and brave men who defend our country night and day! Equipment Used to 'shoot': Canon 450D, 400D with 10-22mm, 100mm macro, 70-200mm f4. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

nice little OT thread in between those stupid brand wars/speculations going around in the forum.
Our armed forces have few of the best war heads/technologies in the world. Seeing pics/environment like these would make any Indian proudly salute the "men" with puffed out chest. |
