senik said: Very well taken photographs. You got to feel for the unlucky sods who's place has burn down though
To ask the question which somebody asked earlier, was it just right time, right place for those shots or were you called to the scene to accompany the local Fire Department? Post incident, any idea what caused the blaze or is it depending investigation? [Edited 3/10/07 8:42am] In the news biz these guys are called "stringers" - they use police scanners to listen to whats going on & get there to get the shot...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

i wished i lived in a town like that... Small enough where you can park right in front of the post office. Leave your car door unlocked, (and running) run in, and maybe there will be one person in line but thats just because they are chatting with the clerk about each others kids and what after school activities they are in. Small enough that you can walk down any street at 1AM and not even have a thought of becoming a crime victim cross your mind. Small enough where the word rush hour means waiting for 5 cars at the stop sign at 3rd and main rather than the normal 1 or 2. But large enough to have a couple fast food joints, a great supermarket, second to none police and fire department, Hospital, Radio Shack and many other nationally known stores. It really is a great place. Thanks for your post to make me stop and remember how nice my town is. Doug Raflik | |

retina said: Well you would think there's tons of light (it sure looks like it to the naked eye), but I've lost count of the times I've tried and failed to get good shots with fire and/or a solitary source of artifical light. Correct. Our eyes are FAR more sensitive than a camera. Knowing your camera and what it is capable of doing helps in extreme conditions like this. As far as settings, I had the camera set at 800 ISO, f/2.8 and was only getting shutter speeds of 1/40th of a second. You need to be pretty calm and shake free at that speed. retina said: Always when I do that it gets grainy. Look at how black the sky is in the pictures above, mine would look grainy and greyish. Try this... Under expose the picture according to your light meter. This will need to be done on the manual settings. Heres why... If you tell the camera you want IT to expose the picture properly, it is going to see all the blackness and think you want to see whats there, causing it to strain to show it, leaving you with a grainy greyish area, not to mention the brighter parts of the picture will now be too bright. If you under expose it (meaning as far as the cameras light meter goes, it will be underexposed) you are fooling the camera into thinking the picture will be under exposed, but in reallity, you are not exposing for the WHOLE picture, rather just what is already lit up. So whats black stays black. I use this same techniuqe for concert photography to isolate the performer and not showing all the crap on stage with them. Doug | |

heartbeatocean said: I love how the stripes on the firepeople's jackets turn white in the second to the last two shots. This is caused by the flash. Im not sure why they are made like that. I would assume so a fallen fire fighter can be found easy and fast in a smoke filled room with a flashlight. | |

Doug Thanks for the info about the settings for the pictures on this thread, and for the other tips as well of course. Very nice of you to take the time to provide that. I guess I'll have to go out and purchase and learn how to use a light meter.  I know all this gadgetry is needed to get a good picture, but for someone who started out with photography not for the technical aspects but just for the excitement of capturing a spontaneous moment, it sort of takes the fun out of it. Hopefully I'll get it back when handling some of this stuff becomes more routine. | |

Doug You're reminding me of my film school education. We were taught to underexpose everything one stop as routine to get darker blacks and more saturation in the colors (working in 16mm film). Scary how much of this information I struggled so hard to learn is slipping out of my mind.  | |
