Housefire Close to Home

a first responder stands in the middle of Railroad avenue as smoke and steam from an extinguished house fire at 1407 Railroad, reflects orange light from a parked fire truck.

The 35mm 1.8 worked out well here as did the second D500.  What a treat it is to have two cameras that can focus in the dark. Most of these were shot in manual mode as well.

 I learned a lot during football season, learned to trust the meter in my viewfinder too.  When I trust the view finder meter I don't have to waste as much time chimping to see my histogram.  There is very little time to capture flames, the fire department had this fire knocked down less that 15 seconds after they started to put water on it.

I don't know what if any of these will be printed.  I only released the orange fog photo on my social media account.

A fire inside of a house begins to spread through a window to the outside  as the fire department arrives
and shines a light on the fence at 7:26 on Tuesday evening.

A fire fighter's shadow is cast on a fence as another firefighter enters the house moments before hitting the fire with water for the first time, as the fire begins to  leave a window and spread to the ouside of the house.

With the fire mostly extuguished a firefighter disappears into a cloud of smoke
and steam as he enters the partially burned house.

A PUD worker on the scene  lowers himself back down to his truck over the heads of first responders after he has finished cutting power to the house.
