[redstorm]

hmmm i still don't see anythng wrong.. except for the 1st guy... who's the shorterst.. not having the bayonet (the knife thingi?) and he didn't wear the 'belt' ?
didn't notice anyone making funny faces though

hmmz.. I got an innocent question...Why the newspaper never spot/edit/crop it before publishing the photo??

to maintain the "truthfulness" of the situation?? or to maintain photographic "rule" of not cropping and cutting off people at body joints? for composition? or simply cos never spot??

Just wondering...Do newspaper photographs strictly follow an aspect ratio?? If keeping the aspect ratio, cropping the last guard-of-honour out will result in the Crown Prince being cropped off awkwardly.. so is that why they left it as it is?

newspapers are not allowed to edit the pics. photographers do not have time to edit every photo, merely basic colour editing. no particular aspect ratio is followed too. the dimensions of the image to be used is based on the size allocation of that particular article.

MP Command sounds so :sticktong

so next time, infantry called infantry command, armour, called armour command.

command here and there.. pple get confused.

i still like the word SAFPU... i dunno why... the word command is just so..... macam wayang.

There is nothing wrong....... the Spec at the start of the row doesnt have bayonet. Just go refer to all old photos of parades. All are the same, Spec no bayonet..... As some said, this kind of event, will be double and triple check. No room for such obvious errors.

now bayonets can fix onto SAR21?

 

[p4610yz]

it is correct....the first and the last person of the whole GOH team will not hold any bayonets. They are the front and back line marker. So they are usually the most senior in the parade.

PhotoJournalist or Press Photographers are to maintain the "truthfulness" of very pictures they take. Not only because too many photos to edit but it is due to the rule of the trade. Min. PS is to crop, dodge/burn, adjust exposure and add a bit sharpness. Additions/subtraction of details and alterations (colors) of pictures are not allow.

There are no fixed ratio to follow. The editor or any reporter before attaching the pictures will come to visit the PJ or photographer to tell him how to crop to fit into the reporter's column.

Why that guy is without bayonet is because he is a LEFT MARKER for the parade. If you notice.. the LEFT & RIGHT Markers all the Guard of Honour parades are without bayonets.
An additional knowledge, yea?

[Andy Ang]

Second that. lol.

 

[yanyewkay]

he signed up in jul 2006 lah.. this is his first post.

Anyway, ok.. the truth is out.. the bayonet wasn't the boo boo.. it was the upside down IPPT badge. So I guess we can all stop repeating the same knowledge

 

[Larren Chen]

as a spec, u dont need bayonet in front or behind as u are the markers...

then i spot only the ippt badge...
