The amazing moment a shell is blasted from 5-inch warship cannon Mail Online.
It is thought the photographer managed to take the spectacular shot using an ultra-high ISO and shutter speed setting combined with a fast F2.8 lens.
The ship's 5-inch cannon is capable of firing up to 20 rounds a minute and was used to support the British-led assault on Al-Faw in Iraq in 2003.

Guardian Camera Club a resource for improving your photography
MCC members might be interested in the Guardian Camera Club. One of the good aspect are the assignments which serve to add focus and discipline to learning how to improve our photography.
"The Guardian Camera Club
Camera Club is a new page on the Guardian.co.uk website dedicated to still photography. This is the Flickr group for Camera Club.
The Guardian Camera Club page is the main place to find information concerning the Guardian Camera Club. Please check the page regularly if you are interested in participating. On this page you will be able to see:
a. Blogs (including tips and thoughts on monthly assignments).
b. Reviews of portfolios and assignments which have been submitted through flickr.
c. Audio slideshows and videos relating to monthly assignments.
d. Photography tips and camera reviews.
Upload your portfolios and one of the Guardian's picture editors will select the best to review. There are two categories you can get involved in:
Portfolios. These should be a maximum of 6 pictures and should be a representation of your work. A portfolio could showcase one subject or cover a variety of different pictures. However, as a set, they should hang together stylistically. Please mark your images with the same tag, for instance yournameportfolio (eg. johnsmithportfolio). This allows us to easily view your submission as a set.
Monthly assignments. The monthly assignment is an opportunity to create a fresh set of images which fulfil a specific brief therefore we won't consider any pictures which have been taken before the assignment was announced. A maximum of 6 pictures should be tagged, for instance, yournamenovemberassignment (eg. johnsmithnovemberassignment). Each month you have an opportunity to enter a photograph in a competition (the prize is a Nikon D5000). This competition ties in with the monthly assignment and your entry should be a single image from that set of pictures (and is therefore bound by the rules of the assignment). Due to the Nikon sponsorship each new assignment is announced on the 16th (or as near as possible to that date if it falls on a weekend).
This month's assignment is macro photography.

Surrey Life magazine have offered to run a feature in conjunction with the SPA exhibition and invite club members to send in their pictures
Surrey Life magazine have offered to run a feature in conjunction with the SPA exhibition and invite club members to send in their pictures for consideration.
I quote from an email received from Matthew Williams at Surrey Life :-
"We talked awhile back about putting together a feature on the members’ photos, to coincide with this exhibition and your anniversary. It would be a fantastic opportunity to plug the exhibition itself and the group as a whole.
I suggest the best way forward would be to keep things simple and what I would be hoping for from you is for members to send in their favourite pictures along with where they were taken, the name of the photographer and the town where the photographer lives (perhaps the name of the club they are attached to too if that differs).
SUBMISSIONS:- The best way for this to work would be for members to send their pictures to feedback@surreylife.co.uk along with the above information and for us then to choose the final selection to be printed from those received."
Surrey Life would particularly like images which illustrate Surrey in some way which might increase your chances of being included but I have explained that we are a pictorial and nature lot so anything will be considered.
I would suggest that, initially, you send Matthew suitable screen res images from which we will then select and request repro quality files.
Please see above re how to submit - DO NOT send them to the SPA !
