Cannon, by Christopher Utano

I shot this image at a civil war reenactment. I waited for the right moment when the gun was fired to include the smoke in the scene. This gives the image a sense of action. I later converted to sepia to give it a feeling of realism. About 5 or 6 attempts were made before I captured this final image.
