Yeah, what’s the story with that tank? It took a lot more hits on the hull too. Firing range target?

Sorry most of the info is copied from their collection guide book and didn’t feel like converting them myself :)

I used a Sony Nex5n camera with 18-55mm lens. I am a camera noob so I just make pix in intelligent automatic mode.
I was already fairly happy that I managed to get mostly whole tanks in the picture as it is fairly cramped building…

Thank you!

from the website of the collection:
“Vehicles are restored, often from derelict condition, not to look pristine, but, as a tribute to their original crews, like vehicles just back from the front line, with muddy tyres and tracks, and festooned with the kit which would have been carried by the soldiers who drove them to war almost seventy years ago”

The mud and all that is still on the tracks

Most likely the individual was using a lens other than 50mm that why the image looks distorted also having a camera on automatic where it choose the F stop and shutter speed and ISO will affect the quality of the image
