Wall of Fire (DPA)

Large Wall of fire blocks access to the rear of a new development

being built making firefighting very difficult. Nature vs

Man/Machine.

 

Why did this occur was simple, a new development was being built on

native forests leaving hundreds of acres of dry kindling surrounded

by new homes being constructed, between the drought,

Offroaders,Construction and other human traffic a collision course

toward disaster was inevetible. The fire was extinguished after

several days of hard work and work eventually moved on.

 

Lesson #1 from this shoot, always bring your camera at all times, I

missed the most dramatic events due to my stupidity but hopefully

this is good enough :)

A beautiful journalistic picture (the two doesn't necessarily comes togeter). Really erie too with the subjects bathed in that orange glow. I love the way it shows how tiny they are compared to the wrath of Nature.

I really like this photo. While its not a result of a technical virtuoso, it is a well done image with an interesting subject matter. the most important part of photography is being there.

Whoa! Inferno away! What a sight to see let alone shoot.
