Does anyone know what the green and black patch on the junior officer's right upper arm is? Doesn't look like tank destruction badges, but it is the right location.

Here's how's done....

1. A DIY softbox with a flash (Speedlite) to get the background all "white"

2. A DSLR and accessories

3. Some IKEA lamps with PHILIPS bulbs

4. The setup from top view (I used 2 flash for this setup)

 

[DM101]

5. Just move the lamps nearer/further from the figures to get the lightings you require.

6. Focus and shoot.

Noticed the unprocessed image is already "95% there" - just some sharpening and you will have your final image.

7. This is how the final image looks like after Post Processing in Photoshop (resize, sharpening and levels adjust - that's all)

Actually answered my own question and the patch means he is an Oberst or Colonel. This is how officer rank was indicated on smocks.
