These are some photos I made this past weekend at Corp Day at The Citadel.  Which ones do you like and why?

1st Battalion marches out to the parade field.

Summerall Guards 2012 make a slight breathing noise together to keep in cadence and so everyone is together.

Summerall Guards 2012 closeup of the breathing technique for timing.

Summerall Guards 2011 last time together before handing over their rifles to the class of 2012.

Summerall Guards 2011 last time performing.

Summerall Guards 2011 take the field with all the alternates in position.

I took the photo showing the alternates for Class of 2011.  These guys seldom are photographed as compared to those marching.

Timing is everything to show the precision.  If their legs are all down not as impressive.

Summerall Guards and BVA run together the night before the rifle exchange to the new guard.

Bravo Company during parade review.

Nelson Lalli checks the alignment of Bravo Company.

I am reminded every time I photograph the cadets how important it is for each person to have a nice photo.  After I post these to my facebook account I spend hours accepting the requests for tagging and friends.  I try and make “portfolio” quality images, but find often just simple clean image of a cadet is really appreciated.
