There was reports of a gas smell and blue smoke coming from this drain today and toowoomba main station pump 311A was turned out to investigate, I thought I'd do some investigating of my own and got this shot.

I guess I should tell you that ther was another firey infront of this guy but he was ruining the shot so I got cheeky and cloned him out, thanks for the comments.

This is a real winner Michael. Compositionally has agreat feel to it. The viewer is just dragged toward the subject. What set up here Michael?
cheers

Ummm by set up I presume you mean what photo gear I used.....

I just had My D200 and sb800 on the hotshoe and walked into the tunnel a bit and snapped off a shot and some post processing contrast curves and LAB B/W conversion, nothing too special really.

Fantastic shot Michael - I'm guessing there was no gas, seeing there is no protective gear?
Beautiful cloning job too by the way :)

Nah just a bit of smoke which made this image really really washed out but I fixed that with the curves. Still smelt horrible though I think it was spray paint stuff burning.

What a neat picture.
