Loading the cannon.
|
The bang was so loud it made me jump...
|
...and the first few shots were blurred...
|
..these guys don't put their fingers in their ears for nothing...
|
...in fact the MC advised the crowd to do the same...
|
...but I wanted to get some photo's of the action.
|
If you save this sequence of photo's and look at them in a slide show feal fast you'll get a good idea of what it was like (with out the big bang :-)
