Now that the challenge is over, I wanted to say more about this photo. This was a bonfire for the school spirit (homecoming game). It was in a vacant lot, and I used the zoom to get it as close as I did. I could have come closer, but didn't want to intrude on the kids who were to the right of the fire.
It does look fierce, doesn't it? :) :) The burning wood was pallets piled and set on fire. I liked that it gave texture to the photo.
Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate the time you took to comment and give ideas to make a better shot.
A bon fire? intense it seems:) this would have worked for me a bunch more had you a person in front of the fire walking towards the camera..."from the gates of hell" you know? good capture of the flame though. good luck! 5
Very well done. Lovely contrast and colour. Sharpness is great for a fire shot. How did you get so close without melting your camera? You must be a firefighter. I can see this easily published for an article on forest fires...
I love this. The colors are so vivid. I love the skeletons of the boards left on the building. They look like they are just about to collapse. I can almost feel the heat from the flames. Excellent photo and a definate nightmare. 10
Very rich and crisp oranges and yellows there, highlighted well by the black background. I can almost feel the heat from here. I hope no one got hurt in that fire.
