Number 6 Gun, Afternoon firing at History Alive
Saturday afternoon saw another firing of the 64lb Cannons at History Alive, Fort Lytton.
I perched myself fairly close to the action, stuffed my ears with the industrial earplugs I'd brought along just for that purpose and waited for the signal. It paid off.

Way to go Dave. I forgot it was on this weekend again :D Get any other great shots?

Nice work! I got a muzzle flash of the 6-pdr but missed out on the 64s.
Great shot David, it was nice to meet you and have the ability to chat about photography during the course of the day.
