Project52: Week Eleven - Fire

Another week where I didn't think I would get a photo, but opportunity came late Saturday night. It had been a crazy week, and, to top it off, it was my weekend on at work so I really had no time! However, it was the neighbour's birthday, and when I got there they had a fire going, plus they had a tree that was really nicely lit by the light on their shed. With all the people there I couldn't really take photos of the tree, so I took photos of the fire instead. Used my tripod of course, then in Lightroom increased the blacks to take out some odd bits and pieces, which also had the effect of making the colours a bit more extreme. It's the same thing I do on photos of fireworks and I think it worked really well. Perhaps not quite as impressive as a photo I've taken of embers at a bonfire, but still nice.
