17Oct05 Musket Firing - 6567

Old Sturbridge Village, MA

We missed the first musket firing demo because we thought it was going to be over by the Blacksmith's shop... So we made the afternoon one - lighting was challenging with the late afternoon sun.. Goal here was to get the sparks on BOTH ends of the musket.. Despite what the EXIF says this was shot in MANUAL - don't know why pBase gets this wrong - both Karen and I have noticed PBase messed up on the metering mode when you shoot manual with the 20D - EXIF on the photo itself is correct - PBase just seems to read it wrong - why is that??

PERFECT CJ!
Got the muzzle flash and you did a super job with the tough lighting he was in--almost in and out of the shadows at the same time.
