very cool shots Kelly. I'd like to know what settings you used to capture the detail in what seems to be a difficult situation to shoot.
Thank you! These shots were taken with 3 different lenses with slightly different settings for each. The most detail (like in the top picture) came from my nikon 50mm lens. I shot most of those at ISO 400, f/4 or lower and a shutter speed of around 1/800. The tight detail shots were taken with my 70-200mm at f/2.8 around 1/160. The wide shots were taken with a 12-24mm at f/4 with varying shutter speeds depending on how dark the flames are.
nice stuff Kelly, it's cool they did it after dark, when I shot propane fire training here a couple months ago it was still light out, didn't look as dramatic.
Thanks Tommy! It was definitely a cool assignment. It was also misty and a little foggy out which added something to a few of the frames.
