Gunfight
On Saturday of our workshop we had reenactors as models. I was able to get a few good portraits and then for our sunset shoot we had riders coming towards us and then after the sun was below the horizon the reenactors staged a gunfight. I shot with my Olympus OM1 that evening partially for the extra reach of the longer focal length lens but also for the gunfight. I wanted to get the blast from the muzzles. The pro capture feature on the OM1 would be a major help to achieve that. Pro capture buffers shots while the shutter is half pressed, then once the event happens, the shooter presses the shutter the rest of the way and you get 20 or so frames before the full press and like 15 shots after.
I was able to get the muzzle blast pretty consistently, but on this one shot both guns went off together. Now that's what I am talking about.
Olympus OM1, 1/1000 sec, f/5.6, iso 640, 56mm ( 112 mm 35 equivalent ) handheld.
