BANG !!

STONELEIGH - FESTIVAL OF HISTORY 2004

Although this isn't the best shot I took of this battle, others have better composition for example, it IS my favourite. This is because I was hoping to have captured the exact moment of discharge on one shot, but I wasn't sure until I got home. I did have to take several bursts at 5fps to get the shot though and this is the only one that caught the blast.

I am starting to work through all the pics I took at the festival, but it will take some time. There were several battles from different periods of history, this being the Napoleonic wars. I aim to do a gallery of each battle eventually, starting with this one which I am uploading the first shots to this evening - Check out my 'Napoleonic Battle' gallery if you want to see more.

Comments are always welcome, thanks.

Napoleonic Battles are spectacular, even if the original has probabely not be a funny "game" when it happened once. I live in Brussels, 10 kms away from Waterloo ....
