296:365 Hobby
Today is the 128th anniversary of the Gunfight at the OK Corral (October 26, 1881). What better way to celebrate but with a reenactment at Booth Western Museum. Here Virgil Earp and Frank McLaury shoot at each other in the middle of the street. Earp was wounded, but Frank McLaury wounds were fatal. I choose hobby as the theme because being a reenactor is the hobby of these cowboys and because history is one of my hobbies. I drag my husband to all kinds of reenactments. Theme #149.

Very cool - I feel like I'm right in the middle of the gunfight!
I'm ducking behind the couch! So realistic, fabulous capture!
Great photo of two interesting holidays, Scares me that I knew of this fight before I even heard of Ned Kelly's shoot out with the Troopers at Glenrowan in Victoria, and it happened a year before the OK Coral Spat!

You said you like history.
Great action shot! I can almost small the gunpowder.
Great job on the composition and catching all of the action.
Another great shot of reenactors, Like Bobbie said you can smell the smoke.
What a fantastic photo! This is one I would hang on my wall - the point of view, the smokey haze, the crouched gunfighters and the colors - so wonderful!
