Fire sparks imagination


Who knew a porpoise could be found in a furnace?

Laughing Dragon




I've been playing with fire again...

Or was it just me? Does that nott look like a dragon laying back, getting a good belly laugh? The eye does play tricks.


This was really a very bright natural gas flame from a furnace. The actual height is about eight feet. I got myself and the camera within 3 feet, so I could take advantage of the 1/6000 shutter speed my 40D offers. The thing is the detail a fast shutter gets out of flame. My apeture was 5.0 and ISO 200


I have hundreds of these shots from today.

Playing with fire and cameras





A photo contest deadline approaches. We'll see how these do... The top two were shot by Kevin with my 40D, the bottom two by my friend Betsy with her Canon Rebel. The rset can be found at http://picasaweb.google.com/danielgballard
