Lit by Fire

Day 280 of 365

"Lit by Fire"

 

Today's image is brought to you by fire. As we hear of friends in Northern California dealing with potentially losing their homes to the multitude of fires, I did not realize we had our own in Orange County. My niece brought my attention to the beautiful sunset tonight, and I realized it was too early for a sunset. I pointed out that those colors must be due to a fire. Sure enough, Anaheim Hills is ablaze. I digress. The moment I saw the orange light on her face, I ran to get my camera, and asked her to freeze. Using the same shutters employed in yesterday's image, I angled them so the ball of fire would be visible in our young model's eyes. I attempted to keep the colors true to what I witnessed at the moment of the capture. I believe we took five exposures, and this was number four. My sincere best wishes to all those coping with this new reality.
