This Car Fire shot is one of my favorites. I was using a shortish lens, though I dont remember which one. I had all my protective gear on and it was VERY hot. The fire is a running fuel fire, where a fuel mix is pumped out on a wet surface and then WOOMPH! The exercise is used to simulate a volitile liquids fire fight, say running fuel at a gas/petrol station. I love the colour and the flame detail in this shot. I also love the position that the car is in as it looks like its just about to lift off in the explosion, Hollywood style!
My other favorite photo is this one which was taken at a family gathering. I was intentionally trying out a high key type photo, over exposing the shot by metering the window first. I was really happy with the way this came out.
As mentioned, may be not my best but certainly my personal favorites for 2006.
Show us something that takes your breath away.
When we pulled the truck into this fire it was a full size fuel storage depot burning well and spreading fast. This was only an exercise but please believe me, when we got to the end of it I was puffing like a broken down train.
No rookies were cooked in the course of this exercise!
