A scene from Horse Creek Trail. The combination of smoke from the Norton Point Fire of 2011 and late-afternoon sun provided some dramatic lighting. What you see here, care for it or not, is what I got; there was no "post processing" to manipulate colors.
Absaroka Range, WY-- August 2011

Hasn't voted | Thanks, Anita. I have a bunch of wild-looking shots from this day and will get around to making an album eventually.

Voted 10/10 | Great colors! I didn't get close enough the following week on Cascade and Spar to get anything like this, but I was hoping you'd gotten some good images! I was right :) | | Posted Sep 30, 2011 3:31 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thanks! Here's a collection of what I think are the best of them: https://picasaweb.google.com/115489025119774210953/NotBurwell.
I'll eventually get most of them up here in a TR or album with the fire as the theme. | | Posted Sep 30, 2011 3:55 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Naturally, if there had been a cat or dog in

Hasn't voted | How about I photoshop both in, with a mushroom? That would get me Photo of the Decade, I think. | | Posted Oct 1, 2011 8:48 pm |
| gabr1 | Great light... | | 
Voted 10/10 | That is a really nice photo. Wonderful light, and the green of the tree makes really nice contrast with the orange of the sky... | | Posted Oct 1, 2011 8:50 am |

Voted 10/10 | That's a neat photo Bob. Wildfires aren't all bad from a photographer's perspective. | | Posted Oct 5, 2011 11:55 am |

Hasn't voted | Thanks, and you're absolutely correct. From a distance, of course... | | Posted Oct 5, 2011 10:36 pm |
| Kiefer Thomas | Agree... | | 
Voted 10/10 | with everyone else. Nice capture. Kinda in the right place, right time.
Did the fire concern you at all?

The fire was far enough away, as seen here, that I wasn't too concerned about the flames themselves, but as smoke settled into the valley around sunset, I started to worry about the lungs, as it was like being by a massive campfire. It lifted enough that night for me to stay out there in the car, windows up, and hike the next morning, but the inversion was coming back as I was leaving. | | Posted Oct 9, 2011 10:33 am |
