Love it, Robert. Great photo, so well composed. The 1/5th shutter was perfect to get the sparks and to cast the reenactors with an interesting light on their silhouettes. #9075972

Thank you all for your comments. This event was so much fun to shoot. For cannon fire, I had to shoot a lot of photos just to capture a few keepers. #9093249
