Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Bullseye, Ace!

Jon Milan saw yesterday's nice shooting, and sent in the most appropriate response:

Badoom!
Brian,

You can check out the lead photo on my site -- the firing of a rebuilt Crimean War cannon.

MilanImages.com

The absolutely uncropped version is at MilanImages.com/Bullseye.html -- the only photoshop change is a mild "unsharp mask".

Shutter released at about 1/10th second after the massive "boom".

The particles you see flying are burnt toilet paper.

The shot's particularly impressive when enlarged to at least 3' by 4'

:-)

Jon


Awesome shot, Jon! A Crimean war cannon definitely beats a tear-gas grenade, any day!

I hope you don't mind if I post a thumbnail of your picture here—It's way too cool not to share.

For those of you who would like to own this impressive photo, you can buy a print here. Me? I think it's going to be the next addition to my office wall!

In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
