Visited in St. Augustine on Friday and they were firing the cannon off. I had to feed the parking meter so I missed getting a better spot for the cannon firing. Was a little overcast this day but it was still a nice day. see the full size image on the link.

Nice. When I was there I didn.t have a tripod and tried to hand hold the camera while the cannon went off. I think I jumped about two feet. Obvoiusly the shot was trash. lol

I just put my camera on Machine Gun Mode and went spray and pray when they started to light the cannon.
