This afternoon a “human caused” fire in the mountains blew up into an 800-acre wildfire. Somebody’s in a bit of trouble.
Photos taken from my place just after sundown began to unveil the fires, but were nevertheless unimpressive shots.
This dark blue unrevealing photo provides some more info with a little bit of “fade correction” added…
But more impressive photos were to be had by hopping in the car, driving closer and waiting for the sky to darken.
Photos after the break…
The shot below is a dismally out of focus blowup of a telephoto shot… but terrible as it it, it shows a bit of the fire that suddenly flared up and looked a *lot* like a large solid rocket motor test firing.
The one below shows what can be achieved when you set the ISO *really* high.
