Here are a couple of pictures of the fire, this is about 7:00pm Cali time.

I am going back there tonight to take some pictures of the glowing at night, can anyone give me some tips on shooting at night to get the best shots?
This fire is only about 10% contained and has destoryed 5,200 arces so far.

Thanks for any tips in advanced.

Very cool shot. I like the cropped version much better. It makes the smoke look more intimidating and gets rid of the distracting shadow in the foreground.

Nice shot and crop. I'd like to see the night shots. I don't do much night shooting, but don't forget your tripod. :lol:

Nice shots.
I lived in LA for a while and saw some serious fires, just a little bit scary.
Good luck tonight.

Ok, I did not get close enough.
But I did get a chance to make this cool panoramic.

Ick. I don't like how the winds have changed the past couple days. The smoke has been blanketing the Santa Clara Valley.
