That's cool. I have an old wooden box that used to hold a machine gun in it. My grandfather took it and turned it into a chest that he used to transport his things out of the pacific after the war.
I hope you get the sun you are after.. we've been getting plenty of it here this week!
Also... a 3:30 sunrise? I'm guessing you don't get up early then for sunrise shots in the summer? Unless you stay up all night? :)
That is really cool, mine hasn't any cool story behind them, dad just bought a ton of them from the army auction or something like that.
Haha, yeah, if I shoot the sunrise, I usually haven't gone to bed at all :D
You could make a cool story for them :) ..or .. or use them in a shoot as props.. get yourself some vintage army uniform for it or something.. I think that would be pretty cool :)
