Summary
| Description |
Every day the gun is fired over Grand Harbour from Valetta and is watched by many visitors. Nikon D7100. Timing was the essence of the picture. I had the camera set to fast "motordrive" (7 fps) and tried to anticipate the moment of firing by carefully watching the gunner's movements. I ended up with about 8-10 frames and chose the best. I also used the fastest shutter speed as possible as I wanted to freeze the action. |
