Extreme Muzzle Flash

This picture has not been edited or tampered with (besides bumping the contrast slightly.) I captured this image by placing the camera on a tripod and using the timer. When the flash went off it captured all of our bodies, the background and the guns, before the recoil sent us realing backwards. As soon as we saw the flash we all pulled the triggers at the same time. The long shutter speed then gave us time to react but created minimal blur because it was quite dark out. The muzzle flash was the only thing that then got exposed in the post-camera-flash dark. Without using this technique it would be nearly impossible to time a shot like this.
