Topic: POW Week 20 - Fire

Fire can be unique ... be it painted, drawn or something burning ... lets see what you can do.

A few guidelines:
1. Photo needs to go along with the subject in some way.
2. Use thumbnails for photos with any dimension larger than 450 px or over 40 kb.
3. Post as many as you want.
4. At the end of the week the person who chose the topic will pick someone to choose the next topic. This isn't a "winner," just someone who gets to suggest the next topic.
5. No critiques (unless requested) this is just to share our photos.
6. No sigs.

here is one to get it started.

What was that burning, Flea? It looks serious.

Up to just 2 weeks ago, I didn't haven much by way of fire. But I decided to take my camera to a beach party and they had a very nice fire going





It seemed a little strange using a flash for a picture of a fire on the first one but I like the way the flames still show up and you get the white and gray of the ash too.

I played around with a longer shutter speed on the other two.

. . : slicePuzzle

it was an abandoned house in a far rural area ... siloute in the photo is a volunteer firefighter ... there was a group of them that had to stand there and watch the place burn down because of no water left ...

yeah with fire you can get some interesting pics .. either with flash to show detail of what is burning and the smoke .. or no flash .. and longer shutter speed .. to get the flames dancing ... i have some more i will post throughout the week of other fire shots i have ... heh guess you could say it is the one thing that is most destructive that i have to photograph but it can make some of the nicest photos at the same time.

oh, if it matters this is what i use for the pics

Nikon D1 , 24-80 f 3.8 nikkor , 80-200 f2.8

--- A nice fireball here... Just a dusty image.

In the mean time, I will go and look for something to burn to see if I can get some better ones....

Hmmm.... Where is my cat anyway....

hehe .. cats don't burn well ... in my experience the wife normally puts the fire out before any good shots can be taken.

here is a few others i took the other night, kinda slow right now on fires...

so far there has been several nice ones posted ... fire is a subject that i guess is hard to photograph at times ..
