nearly impossible to get the best moment even in burst mode, as its 1 fraction of a second when its like this, glad you got some good shots sarah, I sat next to this canon during the battle when it went off, with ear protectors in and outside the danger cone obviously, It knocked me back against the tree the shockwave was so strong. Its not used a lot due to the cost of firing and im told unlike the normal 3LB canons used a shotgun licence is not enough for this 6lb gun and lots of permits needed, 37 quid just gone up in smoke paid btw.
Hopefully next year you will get a full day and if I am around will arrange some sessions for you.

A great image, well captured, great timing.

Perfectly timed, Sarah! It's difficult enough to photograph these as, although you're expecting the loud bang, when it does you tend to jerk the camera and ruin the shot! 
This just has to merit my UA...

Very impressive shot, great timing full of action and you can almost hear the bang from here .
That has to be perfect timing, Sarah...I am tempted to give it the caption, "Honest, Sir, it just went off in my hand!"

Stunning capture.....to get the colour so intense in the smoke is a shot in a million ...... just to be an anorak what was the shutter speed?...
A brilliantly well timed shot Sarah. Superb.

Amazing to capture the moment of explosion, Sarah, but the imagery of the people at that moment is classic. A wonderful photo!!!!!!!
