Annual event just north of Los Angeles. The last of three Battle reenactment was at night which made for dramatic cannon shots.
They call this "Great Ball of Fire"

For some reason, I wanted to stay away from monotone, I guess b/c it's done a lot. The shot does look good in monotone as well though. Gallery: http://tomyi.smugmug.com/

BIGH Senior Member 708 posts Joined Dec 2005 Location: Wisconsin USA More info | Nov 05, 2006 10:21 | #5 Lots of great pics in your gallery! I attended my first reenactment this past summer - LOTS of great photo ops. Good timing on the cannon "great balls of fire" shot. It's hard to figure out when they are going to fire. I prefer full color pics. Great for hanging on the wall. Did you have any problems avoiding modern things like power lines, cars, etc.? 7D, 40D, 20D, S5is, canon: 100-400LIS, 70-200 f2.8L, 18-55 EFS, 17-55 f2.8 IS EFS, 28-135 IS, 70-300 f4-5.6 IS, 50 f1.4, 85 f1.8, 135 f2.0; sigma: 24-70 EX DG macro; tokina: 10-17 fisheye; 580EX II, 430EX

But they are really big and people come from all over. It's funny, the Confederate Army is always bigger and better dressed and everyone wants to be on that side. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!
