In my back yard. I had no idea where this would fit in. If not here then please move it.
They finally lifted the burn ban here. We've been under a terrible drought (though not as bad as other parts of the state). I've been collecting pecan tree sheds for 3 years. I usually burn them in the winter but burn bans have been the norm so they have accumulated. I have a lot of big pecan trees in my yard so the wood pile was about 10' high and 10' in radius. It was initially a very hot fire. I tried a number of different shutter speeds / f stops. This one is at the high end

Great idea for changing the shutter speed Love the patterns Might try desaturating the yellow just a bit and might have gone for a higher ISO then increasing dof !! Really good and different !!!
Thanks Alfred. I've got a few shots with a 180mm macro lens mounted on a tripod in the .6s range. I really liked those but that was as close as I could or wanted to get :)
I agree with desaturating the yellows. There is something about the way I am post processing that is really boosting saturation in the JPG as compared to the TIF. I though that it might be a color profile issue but that's not it...
Thanks everyone. I can't help but wonder what shutter speed would stop the motion of the flames. I'm not sure when I'll get another chance to find out.
