Two friends of mine are photographers and wanted to try taking some pictures of my cannon firing.  Here are some of what they got.

Bottom photo is awesome!  2011 calendar!  Thanks for posting.  It's also my new desktop background, if you don't mind.

Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Great pictures.  What were you shooting cannon and ammo?  The trajectory of the vent sparks is very interesting.

I suspect Digital SLR with medium long lens on a tripod and long exposures.  Great work..

     Great photos, Spuddy, you have some talented friends.  I love those vent sparks!  I think I recognize the loader.  The next time you come out west, head for Montana with that Dominic Parrott and we will put you on the line next to RocklockI with his and we will see what you boys can do!!

With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets

Great shots!  I've always wanted to shoot some of mine, but it's hard to operate a camera while shooting a cannon!
