Hi all Bushfires are an unfortunate fact of life in much of southern Australia in summer and are causing havoc in many parts of Victoria as I write (25+ dead, over 100 homes destroyed). Then there are the ongoing floods in much of Queensland.....
Anyway, by coincidence I came across this image of one of the several fires in 1994 that destroyed property in parts of suburban Sydney. This one was in the Royal National Park about 40 km to the south of the centre of Sydney. I took the photo from my office building in Sydney's CBD. The original was on Kodak Ektar 100 (I really liked that film!) but the scan was pretty awful so I decided on a b&w conversion. I used Focus Magic to try to get some sharpness into the foreground buildings and then used mainly the red channel plus a bit of tonal adjustment here and there. http://www.blognow.com.au/PESO/125130/Where_There039s_Smoke.html Comments, as always, most welcome.
