During the week, the local fire dept. conducted a controlled burn off in the reserve backing onto our property. Unfortunately I had to be at work the day they conducted the burn off :evil:

This is the aftermath (still smouldering in parts). I would hate to see what a real bush fire would do....

CC is welcome and appreciated...

Cheers

Mike

...I was only unhappy about missing out on some "action" shots. Mate, trust me, we have been here for 8 years and this is the 1st time its been done in that time,...in my view its a good thing.

..... would have been good to shot some action shots of the burn off, but the system does not let you know when. Much harder with a 9-5 type job....... try giving the local fire department a call and explain what you would like to do, and maybe 1 or 2 prints as a gift might help.......

Hi Mike,

I like the first one, nice dof. You may want to try a portrait of that stump to cut out some of the right hand side. I find that there is a bit too much distraction on the right.

Second one doesn't do much for me, nothing to hold my attention.

cheers,

André
