Awesome DoF management on this shot, Harvey.

[Tower Guy]

Thanks Joe, this was shot with the 24-105, it is a very nice lens with lots of flexibility. It really works well in these type of shots for DoF.

Terrific angle and framing on this C-17 image Harvey. Is that the door that you hang onto during take-offs. I believe Tom Cruise said he learned that stunt from you 

[Tower Guy]

Thank you Brian, I appreciate your comment.


Thank you Jeff. That door is used for parachutist to jump from, you can see the blast shield that would be opened ahead of the door. Maybe Cruise can hold on to that thing inflight, but he didn't learn it from me!
