Fire in town

**dfinn** · 12-10-2007, 06:53 PM

At 1/2 time of the Patriots game my girlfriend came back from picking up pizza saying something about the middle of town burning up. Once the pizza was gone and it was a safe bet the Pats were going to win I headed over there with my camera.

wow, that's a pretty large fire. the photos are great. the last one is probably my favorite. the angle and the framing really work. I don't really know what else to say as far as constructive criticism goes because they're really nice.

thanks. the first 3 were taken from my buddies 2nd floor apartment directly across the street. last one was obviously taken from street level.

How are the people not blurry in t he 4th shot on a 13 second exposure? I wouldn't have guessed 13 sec on that.

**squirrelmurphy** · 12-11-2007, 08:33 AM

heh i was thinking the same thing. if you look at the bottom left side, you can see a 'ghost' where a guy's legs were in frame but he moved halfway through. neat

SM: if you use Firefox here's a really cool add-on exif viewer:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3905

All you have to do once it's instaled is right-click on an image and choose "View Image Exif Data" and it pops up in another window.
