I saw that fire to I work just off of La Cadena Dr and if I would of had my Camera(In for Cleaning) I would have ran into you

Good shots I like how you focused on the men/women fighting to fire

Id like to know how you are editing these. Your first set was amazing, so is this one. I really love how the focus is on the firefighters, their colors are bright and vivid while the rest of the scene is darker and less important.

4th shot is very good. Nice work

Thanks guys, I really took a different approach on this fire. I was coming from Rancho Cucamonga so I was a little late so I missed a big chunck of the flames. As far as editing I was shooting all in raw, then took everything into Adobe CRW and played with the contrast and bumped the sat up a little bit. The second picture posted is a mini HDR, I made one copy drak and one light (in raw) so I wouldn't loose the detail in the sky but also still be able to read the engine company on the door. So I stacked the pictures in photoshop and erased the darker on where I wanted light and vis versa....hehe

posted 2 more pictures

Lovely series of shots, enjoyed going through them.

All great but that last shot is a real stunner! Was it taken with your 70-200 f2.8?

tahnks guys, all these were taken with my 100-400 IS excluding the second to last which was taken with my 20mm

Very good work! I really like #4, with the firemen amidst a swirling tempest. It clearly shows how they are dedicated to their job in spite of the uncertainty and danger. Thanks for sharing Mike.
