Your entry represents one of the major difficulties shooting the fire - it's very hard to capture during the day in the open..
Nikolai, how could I have captured the fire better? It was near sunset, and it was a fire in a beach fire pit. I saw my chance and snapped it. But, I'm not really sure if I could have captured the fire better. Advice? Critique with your keen technical eye?

Uhm, under the circumstances I doubt I, or anybody else, could.
I wasn't dissing your entry, I was pointing out the difficulties.
Setting sun is on par with typical bonfire flames, hence the fire tend to disappear...
The few things I can think of for this scenario are
a) set the shade for the sun
b) make sure the b/g is really dark (not light gray)

Thanks, Nikolai! I'm lapping up any critique like a starved puppy!

It's a nice shot, but it's also a major violation of the "freshness" rule, hence, alas, it does not count
Nice flame, thank you!
BTW, your next post (http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=598560&postcount=42) looks identical or nearly identical to your first one. Do you think you can remove it or replace with something more different yet still adequate? TIA

I just calibrated my display and it looks black to me ...
Edit: You were right, I uploaded the wrong version. Now it should be ok.

Well, I ran your image in PS, and your BG reads 25R-24G-26B, which is pretty far from 0-0-0 in my book
I guess you need to change your calibration device/procedure/software...

Yes I uploaded the wrong version of the pic. It should be fixed now. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for pointing me to it

Nice colors, thanks!
Where do you get to shoot the fireworks these days? Labor day is not here yet, and 4th of July has been long gone....
I'm living in Germany We have many regional and local events here in
the Cologne area which sometimes end with small and medium fireworks.
Last weekeend was such an opportunity at my girlfriends home town where
they celebrate their city each year with street performers, open air concerts,
grilled food and stands form the local bussinesses. And this firework.

Apartment Fire
When I first saw this assignment, I started thinking about what kind of artistic rendering I could accomplish, and how to get the most compelling image of fire. Well, as luck would have it (bad luck, that is) I had a situation thrust upon me this evening.
I was looking at photos on Dgrin when I heard an explosion out my window. As it turns out, the building next to me was on fire!!!
This is just one shot, so as not to clutter the assignment space, but if you would like to see the whole series, please visit my posting in the "Other Cool Shots" forum by using this link.
I'm still going to look for a creative way to shoot fire, but for the time being, here is an initial entry:
