Right on with the Dragon. Outstanding creativity and timing. It was only there once and will never return. Well done.

Here's the proof, the best camera is the one you are holding at the time. Also think this is a special image, thanks for sharing it with us.

JanLiz there are already loads of cameras out there. Surely the advantage of a camera-phone is when there isn't a proper camera to hand to get the unexpected shot?

Love how the essence of a fire can look so remarkably close to a dragon... as a fellow cell phone clicker... kudos!!!

Behind The Lens

Location
I captured this in the Sugarcane fire across the road from my house, on the Northern Rivers, NSW Australia. It was a once in a million shot!
Time
Early evening
Lighting
Not really, the fire looked after me for that.
Equipment
Unfortunately, it was only taken on my iPhone!
Inspiration
I love capturing the cane fires. They always give me something different, and they are incredible to watch.
Editing
Nothing at all ????
In my camera bag
Canon 6d, tripod, 24-50mm lens, 75-300mm lens, and my iPhone with the canon app installed
Feedback
Capture what you can with whatever camera you have with you at the time, cause you never know what you may find. This pic really inspired me to capture a lot more of our beautiful region and surrounds.
