Really interesting and amazing results - but a bit too technical I think!

I got lucky with a 35mm, Olympus I think, back in about 1986. I was watching a Sealed Knot battle, I couldn't take part as I was injured. Snapping away I got through about 3 rolls of film. Dashed off to Snappy Snaps for the 1 Hour developing service and took the pictures to the pub. People started going on about one particular picture as I had caught the flash from the touch hole and the muzzle of one of the cannons.
I then got asked for poster size copies, some had them framed and asked me to sign the back. Then the SK publicity officer asked if they could make it into a postcard. I was even asked if it could be used for a book cover. (Can't remember if it was used).
I can't find the negative so I scanned it from a postcard.

My son did not take the picture, but aquired it when serving in the Royal Navy against Iraq. I think the ship is from the Aussie navy.
