I did not "set" this one up. It is a rental the occupant is a single Mom with two kids all are well. The house next door was damaged but still occupied. Everyone got out before the fire was put out except the cat who may have used up a life but was rescued in the end. The photo was sold to the local daily paper where I am a stringer. Crisa i thought they could have moved the car as well. I had to pull over to let the fire truck pass and was shooting the scene before they were set up. The car was not on fire when I got there.
Tells a sad story. Makes me wonder how it started. There's a great triangle composition here (the smoke, the fire, the end of the house). Really balances out the frame.
I like this photo of a fire, but felt that since the challenge was about people, the firemen should have been the central focus with the fire in the background. I am drawn to the fire, and the firemen are just in the picture.
Good shot. Obviously, there wasn't a lot you could control (angle, distance, etc.) Hope no one was hurt. my only suggestion would be to crop off the building on the left, or make the fireman more of a focal point than the fire (but only since the challenge was people)
How awful! I hope no one was hurt! As this picture began to show up on my computer screen, I hoped it was a fake fire of some kind! I agree, those guys must be hot in those heavy suits. I hope it all ended okay.
Wow! I hope nobody got hurt. (You didn't "set this up", did you? just kidding) Sky is a overly bright, washed out. I would give you a higher "people" score, but they are wayyyy offfff centerrrr. Photo 8 Creativity 8 (opportunistic) People 8 total 8
Wow - did you set your garage on fire so you had a cool shot for dpchallenge - that's dedication! ;o) Kidding aside, I hope no one got hurt! I like the shot a lot, it is very well framed and executed. However, even though there are people in it, my eyes are not drawn to them, which I would've hoped to see for this challenge.
This is a powerful photo. It's unfortunate for someone, however. Being in the right place at the right time is nice for a photo like this and I certainly hope that this isn't your home...
omg, that's so intense. im sorry for that family. how did you get to be here? hope you didnt set teh fire to take the pic ; ) .. cant wait to hear the story.
wow, you must have been at the right place at the right time. Other than the interesting subject this is a well focused photo. I just wish there was more light.
Definitely not staged, hope that wasn't your house, but it looks like they have things under control. Nice shot, but I think it would be better if you had a closer zoom or crop of just the fireman. The car seems to be a bit more of the focus here
WOW ! Talk about catching a moment ! This looks like a photo right out of a newspaper. The only critique I would offer is some levels to bright up the shade and color a little caused by the trees.
