About new year time last year I was at my brother in laws and we did a spot of Clay Pigeon shooting. At the time I took this.

Well, since we spent Christmas at their house, it only seemed reasonable to go out and shoot some more. After all, you really need to keep on top of that Clay Pigeon population in case they… erm… they… OK. So after two days of feasting, pretty much any excuse to get outside works.

Continuing my current obsession with mono conversion. I’ll not get into how much tweaking the image got, but I’ll own up to moving the exploding clay a little (It was in the shot, just a little more to the right than I liked and I wanted to crop it a little).

there’s a photo essay competition coming up soon and I’m seriously considering using this image in it – I’ve abut 15 images of clay pigeon shooting from the last two outings.
