I managed to put together a home made lightbox, and this is the first proper result I’ve had with it (it’s a composition, of course).
Close the tap.
I took this shot this past summer… it was my first time seeing the performance and it was incredible! / / The Signal Hill Tattoo is an internationally known award winning historical animation program. Each summer, audiences thrill to the echo of the cannon, mortars and musket fire combined with the stirring tunes of the Fife and Drum Band which beckons visitors to a bygone age of 19th Century British military might. Set atop famous Signal Hill, the Tattoo portrays the garrison life and duties of His Majesty’s Royal Newfoundland Regiment of Foot and the 27th Company-2nd Battalion-Royal Regiment of Artillery who endured the harsh conditions of the Newfoundland Station in the late 1790’s. / / Also in this series / The Little Drummer Boy / Toy Soldiers / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /
A collection of images taken during the Vietnam war (or American war if your vietnamese) from actual film footage. My uncle lost his life in vietnam, so i do not intend this to be seen as some derision or laughter of those troops and people—i only mean the utmost respect. Lest we forget.
This little cutie is seriously distrubed, with his ammo and stare he will kill all cuteness. Sorry, one of my darker pictures….but still cute!
Cause you can always use more!
Massive brute this! / Ted says:- Morris Commercial ‘Quad’ 4×4 Gun Tractor. Mark I or II. With Ammunition trailer (limber) which went behind the Tractor and the 25-pounder was hitched on behind that. 4cyl. engine of 70 b.h.p. (Pistons like dinner plates). 4-ton winch. Had one of these that I restored with a couple of other guys. But no extra bits though!!
This piece was part of a video collage created for Burning Man 2008, the “American Dream.” When asked to explore the “American Dream” visually, I immediately went to sources from my youth, growing up on a farm in Maine. Hand illustrated pin-up girls, old guns and ammo adverts, hunting and fishing magazines, WW2 propaganda, and the great outdoors… / Here are a few gems I found around the theme of guns. / C
The Pacific Coast was concerned that the Confederates, the breaking away side of America’s Civil War, would invade the Golden Gate. (By the way, the Golden Gate is the opening of the bay, not the name of the bridge. LOL!) How they thought it would happen remains a mystery but cannon were placed in three strategic locations – both sides of the bay and an island in the middle – because none of the cannon had the range to cover the area in the 1800’s. As soon as weaponry advanced enough to make these cannon too vulnerable to shipboard weapons, a monster bunker with fortified walls was build under the bridge on the San Francisco side. The walls were 7 feet thick and the cannon could easily cover the entire opening of the bay. Neither set of cannon were ever fired in a hostile action. PS Yes, this is not the original shot for this place but the new one is much better and shows both of the cannon mounts.
OK lack of technical description here! These trolly thingies were used to move the missles/shells about! I guess being 38.1cm guns, they were too big and heavy to carry!!! The tunnel ahead goes through to the machinery rooms and further stores etc. Access to the underneath of turntable of one of the guns is via this tunnel too! To the right is a building within the dugout courtyard about 15m below groundlevel. This appears to be further stores and some sort of accomodation. Between 1920 and 1930 the Spanish built many military coastal batteries, along the Costa Calida coastline, to protect mainly the natural harbour of the city of Cartagena which also has a naval base. The Bateria de Cenizas, is on one of the high hilltops to the North side of the city Cartagena, where there is a pair of very impressive British built Vickers and Armstrong 38.1 cm guns (in the style of the ‘Guns of Navarone’) which were used to protect the approches to Cartagena in more recent times. Built around 1930 these Baterias are now abandoned. The guns had a range of 20 miles and still remain in place today, and there is another pair on the south side of Cartagena at the Castillitos battery, at Cabo Tiñoso, near Puerto de Mazarron. Up in the open air, the mean and menacing guns point seaward and they would have been virtually impossible to spot from any distance, with their low profile and camouflage. This battery is not an official tourist site and is an hours walk from the nearest road. Some of the buildings are falling down, some are standing strong. Most of the old machinery is still housed underground in pitch black spooky musky rooms!

Six Hollow Point Bullets
25 PDR (lbs) tractor and ammo trailer. / The owner’s father had started rebuilding this from bits found in scrap yards years ago. I think he said the the barrel has been proof stamped or whatever has to be done so it can fire blanks! Ted, can you provide tech details and correct names please??
