Blast from the Past
What would I do without my camera's burst mode! One of my
favorite shoots is reenactments. In my area of New England I am able to relive
the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II through the eyes and
ears of these dedicated historians.
"Blast from the Past" came down to timing. Prior to the battle the artillery held
several demonstrations on their weaponry. Watching closely, I was able to
determine within microseconds the actual firing of the canon. I was hoping to
capture the fiery blast from the muzzle end. Using burst mode I did get this
shot. When I got home I discovered that there would be a lot of cleaning up on
this shot, as there were spectators on the other side of the green.
I would
highly recommend doing your homework and finding out just where these battles
are to take place.
Yesterday's "Duck Brook Scenic" was liked by Phil, Tony, Michelle, Michael P., Peyton, and Joani.
