Flash - BANG! PN

Hi Sandra,  Wow, what detail.  You do an exellent job capturing the "fire" in that one shot.  You must have gone to a revolutionary war reenactment, eh?  I also like your others, especially the one from the rear and the image showing the horizontal trails of fire smoke.  I guess these guys and the real ones contributed to our carbon emissions problem.  Can you imagine what their lungs looked like from secondary smoke?  Nice images.  Larry

Larry - Thank you for the comments. Yeah, black powder muskets  do put out a bit of smoke. This was indeed a Revolutionary War reenactment - the Battle of Guilford Courthouse near Greensboro, NC. Getting the fiery shot blazing from the barrel of a gun or the flash in the pan as the powder ignites on a gun is  kind of a holy grail of reenactment photography; getting both in the same photograph is dumb luck and a dream realized. 

Very effective.

PS my participation at PN will be limited this month.
