Eagles, Globes, and Anchors (click to enlarge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This image is part of the Iwo Jima display at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. \u00a0The display is a large panel with a regulation sized Eagle, Globe, and Anchor for each of the 5,931 Marines killed during the battle. \u00a0The display is located in a very dark and somber space within the museum. \u00a0The light is too low to create a composition encompassing the entire display, so I focused on a single emblem with a very shallow depth of field. \u00a0I did not have a tripod (and I don’t know if the museum even allows them) so I had to handhold my camera. \u00a0Using\u00a0f5.3 results in a shutter speed of 1\/60, slightly slow for the 105mm focal length. \u00a0The vibration reduction feature of my lens helped some what.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the copyright notice in the slower left corner is blurred. \u00a0 In the Photoshop file the notice is sharp. \u00a0For some reason when I save the file as a jpg the notice becomes as blurry as the background.<\/p>\n
