Twilight Tattoo

Every summer the Army does their "Twilight Tattoo" the 3rd Infantry, Old Guard, performs. I went last night, very enjoyable. I wish I was in a better spot, when the Drill Team started performing I realized that I was not at a good angle. Plus some dillhole set up a video camera where he was in my line of fire for 50% of the shots.

Twilight Tattoo is an hour-long sunset military pageant that features Soldiers of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) troop units and ceremonial units – The Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps and The U.S. Army Drill Team; The U.S. Army Blues, vocalists from The United States Army Chorus and The U.S. Army Band Downrange.

Not only did you get the muzzle flash, you literally got the "flash in the pan" too.

This was between 730 and 830, with the sun coming off the Potomac River. With almost no clouds. I was nice.

^^I agree that's an awesome shot! Incredible shots Jupiter... What camera setup do you have, I'm in the market for an SLR and exploring all my options. Did you edit these before posting?

WOW... If this is what I have to look forward to when getting my new camera I seriously can't wait!

I shot these with a Canon 1Dmk3 with a 1.4 ext and my 70-200. Some PP (lightroom) was done but not much.
