Description
Camas Days Parade starts of with a big bang.
I was about 20 feet away from the muzzle when they set it off. I could feel my chest being compressed by the shockwave - exhilarating experience to put it mildly
as a side note, my ears rang for a little while after

but... you'd do it again - lol thanks for sharing man's fun with the big bang theory - lol
Cool shot, Mike!!
I thought it was rioters in Greece but see its not.
now that is how parades are best started!
Awesome capture!!
Wondering how it ends then. :) Looks like it was a fun time.
bet that felt strange mike, as other mike said, you would do it again. nice capture my friend.
If you zoom on this and look at the crowd you can see that many people have covered their ears and you can see the debris from the 'blast' you described. Great moment of time shot.
I have been to camas before myself, nice shot
Great action shot of the activities- thanks for sharing! :-)

Wonderful scene, great shot!
Fabulous capture Mike imagine being in an old sailing ship and cannons going off all around you down in the hold, your ears would ring..
Great candid capture. I like the reactions of the crowd, especially the older folks on the right and the little guy and his father(?)just behind the cannon.
Wow Mike, great timing to get that shot just at the right time to freeze frame the packing as it flys out the muzzle.
a trying experience no doubt
Great capture mike..look like fun..:)
Cool. My Fav!
cool shot!
Very cool capture and sharing of the experience.... How's the ears...
Great capture, looks like everyone was having great time.
when we moved to denia in 2006 it was fiesta time and one of the idiotic kids let a cracker loose right near biggy she was so frightened and still nowadays when cracker go loose she crawls under the sofa. the spaniards can only have fun when they have noise they cant even live without noise 60 percent of the people have ear and hearing damages. young babies sitting in the back of the cars with a couple 1000 watts loudspeakers next to them.if this is "normal"behavior then you tell me whats freaky and idiotic. well i try to stay away
Nothing like high explosives being set off around a crowd.
You have to learn to keep your mouth open around cannons!
Xcellent!!!!!!!!!
cool captured this Bang
What a bang indeed. Nice shot
Great photo Mike, it looks like a real fun time
Have Fun!
Nice picture!!
Almost in the line of fire too Mike, nice 'shot'.
