Description
Stellenbosch mountain last night...I'm not going to answer every 2nd person's OMG WHO DIED questions. Nobody dead. A few buildings that burned down but nothing serious.
5D mk II
17-40mm
15s
F5.6
ISO800 exposure for the brightest part of the orange
ISO3200 for fg and stars
The noise is pretty damn unbelievable. In the shadows above the helipad it's quite bad but the oranges are damn smooth!

I love it how the focus at first goes to the "H" in front but then you see what's going on actually. Good work!

Haha, al die emos ... en indie mense en mense met hulle hoedjies (uugh). Whaddya mean jys skaam tussen emos?! They're the ones wat hulle polse afkou omdat hulle lewe 'n black abyss is en met niemand wil praat nie. Ons derde jaars (die SES van ons wat fotografie swot lol) het net een projek vir die hele jaar.. and I'm doing landscape stuff. Sal aan jou deur kom klop or something

Wow, amazing colors, great contrast.
Very intense shot too! Definitely gives it an 'awe' effect.

Wow, cool. Its different but really cool. I like that you can see the stars in the sky behind the flames and the contrast between the orange and blue. Personally I find the helipad a little distracting from the real beauty of this photo, the fire in the background. I think cropping the helipad out and making it a panorama might improve the composition.

Wow, nice picture!!
I think it's really amazing that you can still see so many stars so close to an inferno.

An amazing shot, especially considering the juxtaposition of the clear sky, the flames, and the lush grass. Beautiful!
