Hi Folks.
Some shots from the commemorative events in Normandy. These are 25 Pdr artillery pieces firing blank rounds. Real fun to capture, the unit officer says number one gun fire, the gun crew chief responds number one gun fire, I press and hold the shutter button on my 40D and lo and behold lots of shots of not much happening, but out of the hundred plus I took I did get some good shots, unfortunately they are all JPEG as was not at that time fully aware of the capability to improve shots in raw format.

Dad, Raymond, a Normandy Veteran talks to a reenactor recreating his wartime past.

Pretty smart bunch of chaps for reenactors, very nice people to actually talk to, they were really interested to listen to a veteran.

Edit. Yes I just saw the lump of crud on the sensor in some of the images.
Cheers, Graham.
