Yet another fire outside my window
>picture of a fire<
This is getting old. Though we might have gotten in frame the perp (one of them) getting nabbed by the cops.
This is fire number 12 or 13 by my count. And yes that was THAT CLOSE. No, that is not a zoom in with the lens. It was the kit lens before I switched to video.
Weirdest thing I have ever seen. Fire trucks are going through the easement, and damn it, there is a fire, and people at the Y continued their soccer game like nothing. Yes, I did film that, and pan to that. Weirdness.
No, local news did not want to buy it. They had too much video, and damn, a lot of people give them video for free. Would have given it away for free, just to crow that she was "published".
Actually, it just looks like a bon-fire. News outfits look for newsy photos.
It gets better.

2. Several, and the first fire of the day
was producing white smoke, which tells me incomplete combustion, likely an accelerant. Hell, this one took off like a torch, almost exploded. We watched it slowly take off and then, well what you see there.
New one for the resume'? Crack arson investigator?

4. And in the no shit moment of the night
what do you know? They are thought to be suspicious. Really?
At this moment I have to have a good sense of humor, at least the Arrundo has not caught. Now that stuff is nasty and burns hot and hard.
Would you like some dressing on that salad?

6. We are cool and collected on this
We do this professionally. <------- :lmao: :rotf:
But when you are toying with getting the fire gear on one hand, and grabbing important papers, computers, and birds on the other, it's too close.
I gotta stop. Laughing too damn hard. :rofl:

Is that what is considered a "good rig"?

Yes, that's it. :banghead:
Some kits aren't bad if you know how the use them. gNads, doesn't. :(
If I recall, she has an entry level Nikon with the entry kit lens.
It can do a good job, except it has a loose nut behind it.

8. On the tech side
the camera was on a tripod, and I took that photo with the remote. It worked. Trying to hold it, I have done it in the past, was not. So if you want to do some night photography, the remote does work like the old fashioned plunger.
I have no idea what the first bolded sentence means.
Based on the literacy shown with the first bolded sentence I'm wondering if in the second bolded sentence she means that she uses the remote to unclog her toilet.
Next thing you know the remote will be in the ceiling.

As a "correspondent" she doesn't do a very good job of describing what she is doing. I assume the first blooded sentence means she was holding the camera rather than using a tripod as you should while doing time lapsed night photography. The second bolded statement means she was using a cable plunger type trigger to activate the shutter.

The camera she uses, doesn't accept the old plunger type release.
It's all electronic. That's what makes it even funnier.
If my memory hasn't gone to pot, it's a Nikon 5100.

No, no, no.
White smoke means the new Pope has been elected.

A number that small is not that hard to remember if one is really counting. Which is it - 12, or 13? You really have no idea, do you, despite saying you have your count.
For you gNads, a more accurate accounting might well be "...some fires..." or "...another one of several..."

DLR--I wonder what she would have done in 1983, or 1993, or 100 others?
I did a nadin, and 100K acres wouldn't even crack the top 25 in CA history.
Then again, I was in Idaho in 1988 when the Yellowstone fire was going on. I remember waking up and dusting a 1/4 inch of ash off my truck. And I was in Idaho Falls--150 miles away from the fire.

You and I were on opposite sides of the fire. We flew five Hueys and two OH-58s up to Montana for C&C, medevac, transporting firefighters, and resupply.

Anyone else think Nads is a fire starter?

Yup, incomplete combustion and took off like a torch. Much like Niagara Falls is a trickle of water. :mental:

"Arrundo" ? Maybe she meant arroyo. There must be some distortion when nadin looks through the good rig.

Well, at least Nads covered all of the bases with this:

Which was it--did it "take off like a torch,' or did it 'slowly take off?' :???:
ETA: I know what the answer is . . .
POTATO.

As usual, she spelled it wrong. Arundo is any kind of tall cane like grass that grows in clump form.
My guess is something like this, that you see around CA.

Yes Dori, I have wondered about Nads fascination with fire and the wanting to be on the scene wearing her firefighter jacket and getting all smoked up as she photographed small fires but never went into the big ones to take pictures of those fighting the fires.
As a Photo Juno why is she not photo the real story, the photos of the men and woman fighting the fire.? The amount of man power and the responders who are on the scene ?
Is it possible she is known to the police and firefighters and not allowed on the scene as she most likely interfears with the operations ?

nads is hot...in comparison to absolute zero.

Hell, Nads will probably claim that she invented fire.
