This is the amazing moment a shell is captured on camera as it is blasted from the 5-inch cannon of a warship.
A ball of white and black smoke erupts from the gun barrel as the shell races towards its target.
The incredible moment was captured by Andrew Dakin on board the HMAS Anzac as it took part in training exercises off the coast of eastern Australia.

Still a cool picture though - and getting the timing right is still a neat trick even if exposures, etc, allow for it.

Its the little details that escape most people.
Note the wake trails in the water created as the ship is pushed SIDEWAYS from the force exerted by the guns.
