I did not bring a digital camera, but I met a professional photographer at the event this morning who had a MONSTER camera......and he tells me that he will be posting HIS amazing images from this year's event in a few days, here:

Would love to have been there; I grew up around the coastal forts in Charleston Harbor ( some 5 or 6 or more batteries on Sullivan's Island); though none of the guns were still emplaced. I've been inside all of them at one time or another; all the way down through narrow winding tunnels to the main powder and ammo magazines.

An excellent read of the Corregidor artillery duels, where the big guns of these types were used in action..
