Ring of Smoke Photo

Photographer’s Note

Salt Lake City, Utah - Fire fighters, surrounded by a ring of smoke, put out a fire at an industrial complex.

Yeah, so watch out for fire men shooting water in your direction. Those spots you see on the pole are water drops on my lens..I got quite wet while shooting this.

Hey there - nice exposure work with this - whats your technique on the fireman? high pass and adding light to them? I love the ring, and how everything else is darker around them to make it stand out.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Matthew,

Very good angle capturing the subject against the wide sky. Nicely lit subject in well framed composition.

TFS and best regards.

hi, matthew! something quite engaging and movie like in this scene. the surrounding clutter obscures us a bit from the action (and the ring of smoke) though.

regards,

Really a good picture, i like how you handle contrasts there and how you manage light.
