21-Gun Salute

The Marine Corps Rifle Team fire a 21-Gun Salute at the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial atop Mount Soledad in San Diego during the annual Memorial Day ceremony. As the team moved into position at the start of the ceremony I figured, I would get a cool close angle at the end when they normally do the salute. WRONG. They did it right at the beginning and I wasn’t where I was planning to be and pretty much had no choice but to shoot from where I was. It didn’t turn out exactly as I had planned, but maybe it’s where it was suppose to be all the time.
