Re: Putin's 67th birthday photographs
It's what you get when you are used to shooting with a Kalashnikov rather than an Canon!

Perhaps he shot with Zenit. That really doesn't matter. All brands are good when you know what you are doing.

Re: Putin's 67th birthday photographs
Sorry Antonio... it was a play on words... a Cannon is a large heavy weapon, I was alluding to the sounds of the Canon camera manufacturer to the weapon and it's association with Russian militarism.

He doesn't look like much of a strongman in that photo.

Re: Putin's 67th birthday photographs
Judging from his location in the landscape and his demeanor, I would say he is almost over the hill...

Re: Putin's 67th birthday photographs
I would have preferred that the pole be behind Putin, with his hands tied to it, and him blindfolded.

Putin and I share the same age, so the second is very possible!

Re: Putin's 67th birthday photographs
'Over the Hill'....??
I've been told a few times that I am... and I usually agree... but I do point out that I've been picking up speed on the way down...

I'd bet quite a few people in say, Russia, Ukraine, the United States, Europe, just to name a few places would consider it a good idea. Originally Posted by Antonio Correia
