Well sort of- I was at the intersection in front of the store when I saw huge plumes of black smoke rising out of the parking lot- at first I thought it was a car fire but it was the front of the store near the garden area. Here are a few shots all with D50 & 70-200/2.8vr

    WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!

    I just love this! My husband is a Federal Fire Fighter and I know that he would appreciate this thread! Are you going to print any and give them to the Fire House that responded? I bet they would like it a lot!
    I often go out and get lots of shots at the House and print and frame them! If the guys don't really care about it too much, the kids who go on field trips to visit the Local Hero's love seeing the "real action"!

    Great thread!!

    good idea-

    and probably a 'real good job' goes to the police and firefighters-

    Nice shots, great, tight cropping! They seem a tad underexposed? f8 and be there, anyway. Love the action!
