Photo fun

I thought Id post these two pictures from Bovington (M5 Stuart) and Beltring (25PDR) of some fun with photography.

In the first picture, I'd seen the very same M5 Stuart run over the same bridge on the previous day, So I figured it would probably do the same again....so I poised with finger over camera button, relaxed as much as I could, and let the surprise of the explosion trigger my finger on high shutter speed way quicker than my reactions would have done so (I think!) ...anyway it seemed to work !!

In the second two pictures, I used the same theory as above when the battery of 25PDR fire at Beltring, and took the following action shot No.2 and then edited this morning (No.2a) in about 30mins to clean it up, and make it look like it might have done during the war..(ie no pesky spectators or V2 rocket!!)

Hope you enjoy
