hey there, this entry is in regards to the pictures of fire i have posted. two days ago a storm came in on the west coast reeking havoc, for we californians do not generally abide gloomy weather. i am an exception, i am thrilled to see the snow falling. anyway, the snow started to fall and the power went out, so naturally i lit some candles and started a fire. enthralled, as always, by the flame i started to take pictures. now, i do not consider myself a photographer, rather i am a shutterbug....someone who loves to take snapshots, but has no real training - a family trait. so armed with my cannon powershot i proceeded to snap away. more to the point, these pics have been run through photoshop only to adjust the curves and on a couple actually erase unwanted flame...so what you see is generally the raw photo. hope you enjoy.

by the way this is a series of 24 out of over 2100.

cheers.
