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.

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!!

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