The Marines in B&W

[giganova]

I went to the Marines HQ at the Navy Yard in Washington DC on Friday and made some pictures of Marines walking around and practicing for a parade in a public street behind the barracks.

All pictures were shot with a 24mm lens on Ilford HP5 pushed to 800ASA.

Would be grateful for critique! Thanks!

Thanks! All the night shots were done estimating the exposure and hoping for the best! f/8, 1/2 sec shutter speed and a flash at 1/2 power. All in manual mode 😀

Very nice shots of 8th and I. When I was in the Corps (30 years ago) the female Marines had different covers from the men. I have never seen them with the male covers. Great work!

They had those little covers IIRC....
