This shot was taken last year. We had a fire on Cove mountain, which is on the boundaries of the Great Smoky Mountains. The fire had burnt for a good 5days, winds were up to 50mph. On this particular night, as they were finally getting the fire contained, and we were having a lunar eclipse. / I took off over to that area , in hopes the eclipse would be over the fires, to my luck it was. / I stood in a field down below, winds high, pitch black, and Cold! getting shots of this historical event / I sent this shot to our local newspaper, they were going to run a story on it, and me. Of course I was so excited about this, told everyone!! Well it turned out the shot was too dark for print for a newspaper. I tried to get them to use some other shots I had done, but some unfortunately were alittle too blurry, and this was the shot they wanted to run on the paper. / To date it was one of the most crushing experiences of my life with my photography. I bashed myself for a long time for not “shooting it right” , racking my brain trying to figure out, what exactly i did wrong. Did I use the right SS, or should have used Apt mode..what? After checking my stats on the shot, I did shoot it correctly, it still didnt help soothe that deep wound within me. I mean I was probably the only photographer who captured history being made…twice…the lunar eclipse and the fire on the mountains. This shot would have been my big break for being noticed. The “lights” you see on this shot, are hot spots where the fires are. The fire had started on one mountain, due to some guy who burnt his trash, his fire got alittle out of control so the FD had to be called in. They didnt get all of it out, the fire was in the underbrush, a couple of days later we had winds clocked at 50mph come thru, this got the fire started up again and caused it to jump over to another mountain. On the top of that mountain some rental cabins burnt (which I was a ok with..they dont belong up there!) No one was hurt in this fire thank god, but I was hoping that this fire so close to my mountains was a sign..hey you are getting to close and stop the building. / What they have done a year later, was rebuild the cabins and shaved off more trees to protect them…really pisses me off everytime I drive by and see it.

/ This image was captured 6 days after the start of the LeHardy Fire in east Yellowstone National Park. The fire started on July 30, 2008 in a powerline corridor and is suspected to have been caused by the power lines. As of July 11th the fire perimeter was approximately 23 miles long with the fire consuming about 11,960 acres of forest lands. / This image is made up of 3 images stitched together using PanaView Image Maker and then processed in Photoshop. /

This was shot during the Zaca Fire that burned in the back country of Santa Barbara County during most of the summer of 2007. The smoke wasn’t good for the air quality, but it sure made for dramatic sunsets.

A fire burns in the leaves at night. Sparks fly into the air.

The purple version on one of my favorite images. This flame was captured at 1/8000th sec, utterly freezing the fluid movement of the licks and folds in this beautiful work of art.

Australian fire-performance champion Steve Kelly performs yet another breathtaking performance at the world famous Buddha Bar, Byron Bay. / Captured here on film at 1 sec exposure, the trail of flame creates a veritable vortex of energy around him as he conjures up maneuver after dangerous maneuver of flaming art.
