It would seem California is as bad as Australia with your bush fires. So much devastation too. Great photo, you have captured the scene so well.

Behind The Lens
Location
USA , Pacific Palisades, Ca. This photo is the first blaze of the Palisades Fire on October 21, 2019 . I took this photo at the fire line of the Palisades Fire at 800 Palisades Drive.Time
12:13 PMLighting
This photo was taken in strong light that was behind me and in front of the action. The importance of the strong light was the action was fast requiring a fast shutter but I wanted clarity so I had a 100 ISO . The distance was long so the bright light was essential to get this shot.Equipment
The photo was a hand held. Camera- Canon 7D Mark 2 Lens-SIGMA DG 150-500 MLInspiration
I was inspired by two subjects- the bravery of the helicopter fire fighting pilots and the effects that global warming has on the environment. I was inspired by the bravery of the helicopter pilot who controlled the fire and finally put out this blaze. Global warming needs awareness so we can change the futures of the planet .Editing
No post.In my camera bag
I try to pack light. I take one camera body- this time: Canon 7 D Mark2. The lens that I usually take is the Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS and one other lens depending on the shoot. This time I also took my Sigma DG 150-500 mm lens F5-6.3 AFFeedback
I recommend the photographer to stay calm, take your time, stay alert, take many shot , and chimping.
