FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday 14th August - Day 239

My ears will be clearing sometime soon!

The Parlimentarians fighting their corner at the "battle" of Hatherleigh Moor today. Civil War re-enactment society, the Sealed Knot, turned out in numbers to entertain the crowds.

Lots more action photos, and plenty of interesting faces, in the Battle of Hatherleigh Moor Gallery

Nikon D70
1/250s f/8.0 at 250.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Lee... this is so fantastic... the timing, the expression on that soldiers face and the composition. This is one of your best shots. I would love to have a shot like this in my portfolio. Congrats, my friend (GMV)

Vote...it's fantastic. Love the look on that guys face.
Guest 15-Aug-2005 08:33
wow great shot....historical. love the compo and smoke and fire!
Guest 15-Aug-2005 05:06
I think the guy with the great face is actually coughing and hacking from the smoke LOL!! OR, he wet himself when the guns fired coz they scared him!

Either way, this is AWESOME and you must be happy with such a great shot
Rochelle Weiss15-Aug-2005 03:32
Wonderful shot, Lee. Capturing the gentleman's expression and the firing of the gun, all enhanged by the smoke is a fine capture. Definitely voted.

Great shot with the smoke, muzzle flash and the expression on the gentlemen's face at the left is priceless. Really worth a thousand words. Great moment and a great job catching it.
Guest 14-Aug-2005 19:27
You really caught the action in this one. I love how you can see the expression on the faces, the muzzle flash and I can almost smell that smoke.
Coleen Perilloux Landry14-Aug-2005 19:13
This is great. I love all the colors and the action. I guess the guy on the left is saying "fire." And, they do make noise!
Mindy McNaugher14-Aug-2005 19:09
