31-JUL-2005

Ending July with a bang.
Spent the better part of the day exploring Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, MA. An 1830's village it was fascinating to look back at a home based economy, the hard work every member of the family was expected to contribute, the dependace on the land. Next weekend there will be a Redcoats to Rebels display so I might go back. Spent the whole day in manual mode, good thing, too, because of the darkness in the buildings. Putting up a series in the next couple days as they get processed. Seems like I have a lot of processing to do between yesterday and today. Bleh.

Wow! Very cool! The flash pan going off, the sparks flying, barely concealed by the smoke - this is a fantastic shot! What perfect timing - you were well prepared for this.

You don't get to see this very often, good eye on this one Karen.

An amazing capture of the explosion timed perfectly. Bravo!

Looks about equal damage at both ends. Great capture.

Incredible capture Karen. This looks more than slightly dangerous!

Gosh, does he have any fingerprints left on his right hand :>) Safe to say you "shot" some action here, Karen.
Neal Nye01-Aug-2005 12:13
Is this what is called a flame thrower? Awesome shot.
Guest 01-Aug-2005 10:37
Great shot Karen. Apart from teh obvius perfect timing, the detail in the sparks at the trigger end are amazing. Nicely composed too.

Guest 01-Aug-2005 03:29
Perfect capture, Karen! Definitely something different. Love his hat too; looks like an early, colonial predecssor to the ten gallon cowboy hats ;) Very well done.
Timothy Guenther01-Aug-2005 03:18
Great shot! Was it for him too?

Terrific work. It really conveys the sense of excitement and the flurry of such an old gun. I really get a big bang out of this one.

You gotta go back and show him this picture. After seeing this he might not ever fire that thing again! LOL!

Ditto to the coastline's comment. Not that I would know of course but I am sure it is better this way. Nice shot here. Love the fireworks you captured. But where's the wheelbarrow?

"a lot of processing to do between yesterday and today" . . .yes, but it isn't it so much nicer than spending HOURS . . no DAYS . . in a darkroom =]
