Photo of the Day: August 15, 2007

LaTur went down to the U.S. Army Band’s annual performance of Tchaikovsky’s "1812 Overture" at the Sylvan Theater and got this fantastic capture of The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Presidential Salute Battery's cannon salutes. Talk about great timing. Here's the EXIF.

While this shot definitely captures a unique DC event, photographically speaking it's a disaster. But hey, it was probably just a snapshot taken at the concert.
Nice pic.
Latur, dude!
DCist admins, please look at the IPs and tell us: Is it the same hater everyday?
Not today, Politburo, guest[1] appears to have said nice things about other photos. You can't please everyone.
Great pic!
It kind of reminds me of an old comic book.
i think it's pretty rad. reminds me of an old pic of the germans or something!!
This is just a hunch, but if Sommer picked better pictures, there'd probably be less "haters".
Just sayin', is all.
@8: I see.. will you be selecting an alternate POTD from the photo pool then?
