SoCal Fires... again :-(

You know something is not right when the light from the window get this - otherwise very pretty - golden honey color:



At least you can get some non-trivial sun shots:



Conejo Valley between Malibu and Moorpark fires.

This is a handheld 14 shots pano, stitched in PS CS3. Larger 600px tall onscreen version is here

And here's a Smoky Moon shot for you:

Always look for the silver lining!

The glow on your window is almost apocalyptic!

Now is the moon really beeing illuminated from below or is that your 580 EX strobe?

I used my 18,000,000 candlepower Cyclops, of course
And, btw, I sold my 580EX

Is that your spot?

Nik -

Is that your spot near Sunset Hills or mine off of Erbes? Looks like the Sapra/Grissom spot to me. Nice images.

I am itching to go do some reporting on the fires. There are some incredible human interest stories and potential images. Hoping to go tomorrow for a bit.

Kathy,
it was my old one (cul-de-sac) on Sunset Hills.

Nikolai, what roads give access for photography?

Do the police simply not let anyone in. We should be able to close?

In prior time I had no problem with the police, except when it was very dangerous and they didn't let anybody in at all. Yet in that case even 200mm was enough, and I had 400
