Smoky Sunset Photograph

I’m currently sitting in a motel in Mackay, making the most of wireless broadband internet connection, powered by Universal Network Technologies.

On the way up last night Phil King and I drove through a few bush fires. I got the impression these were controlled fire breaks.

As we drove through the area, just west of Bundaberg, the sun was setting behind the gum trees, shining through the smoke.

I couldn’t resist winding the window down and taking a few shots. Here’s an edited version of one of the resulting photos. The exposure is set to negative 2, allowing me to take shots from the moving car (from the passenger seat) and get the silhouette effect.
