We all seem to be getting fires tis year Big V.
Was this a planned frie or was it nature playing with matches?
I like the ominous glow in the first shot.

The latest fires in SA are alleged to be lit by an arsonist.

Stunning second shot, have you got a larger version?

How did you take the first, did you use flash?

I was going to ask about your point of reference, Greg, but then I remembered that you live in Melbourne.

Fantastic images Big V..I'm assuming the first was lit with your car headlights? Very effective.

One of the owners of the studio is at home defending his house from bushfires as I type. He phoned in this morning when the fire broke the containment line to let us know he wasn't likely to make it in to work today!

Here's hoping it's all good.

I was out from 7 at night till 3 in the morning watching this as I live just down the road..the first shot was lit by a car parked next to me and the driver put his parker lights on when he saw what I was doing.. They threw a lout of resources at this to try and get on top of it early - 500 firefighters in all. Here is just a small sample of the crew going in to do battle at around 2 in the morning.

and the after effect as the fire front has passed..

I've seen that and worse in Canberra 3 years ago.

Coming home: one side of the sky was black and I mean black. - So black it was darker than night. BLACK :shock:

- black

The other side was yellow and filled with smoke.
I have seen entire hills and ranges aglow and first the yellow, then pink and then the red sky and the ruby red glow of trees.
This is something you do not want to experience.

Great photos,
CD
