with you, Echi... City boy me. They do look very interested in what they're shooting at, however. Must have been something very interesting. This is a very difficult shot to pull through with the high contrast, and I'm quite interested in how you metered it. The value of the photo is the commitment it shows from these guys. They're wearing dark clothes in what looks like a hot day, and they're carrying all that equipment. AND... the tripods. You guys are really gung-ho.
