Human Cannonball

[ArchiTexas]

A few weeks ago the family and I went to the circus, and I captured the following shots, which I think are kind of neat.

1. Man climbs into cannon, big drum roll...

2. BOOM!

3. Look closely, the red blur in the upper right is the man that was just shot out of the cannon!

4. The blurred man is more noticeable in this shot. The blur is the distance he covered in 1/4 sec (my exposure time).

Unfortunately, I flubbed the shot of the man landing in the safety net. Still, I hope you enjoyed this sequence.

Hi Archi, I see the motion of the guy being blasted out of the canon :clap
Can't say it's something I'd like to try.

You did really well to capture these.
I like images #3 & #4 where you can see motion.

Thanks for sharing . :thumb ...... Skippy :D

Thanks Skippy. I shot these hand-held from my seat in burst mode.:D
