Best demonstration of this type of 19th Century heavy artillery I can see. Only one showing the gun crew, period uniforms, size of the weapon, firing action and (if you look closely) the friction tube type fuze flying through the air. I am not convinced that the lighting is sufficient (even with tweaking) to get near FP but heaps of EV from a very lucky shot. I processed the file as best as I could to give max detail given that the uniforms are black and the helmets white - slight blown area on the gun barrel from bright sunlight.

Support though a version with more on the right to show all the smoke would be preferable. Time3000 (talk) 13:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
You take your lumps with situations like this - my plan was to capture the gun and gun crew....just very lucky that the gun firing and shutter closing coincided - Peripitus(Talk) 23:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
