Wow, these are awesome! You did a great job using the fireman and the firetruck for foreground objects. These are going to look gooooood full scale.

I'd enjoy seeing #6 larger if you get time to post it. That one is everything you want in a first class photograph.

Link to story? (Not sure if that's it, but i don't imagine there were too many 7 alarm fires last night)

Have you tried to submit any photos to local media?

Wow! Heard about this on the radio this morning, but this tells more of the story!

Hey guys thx for the feedback.....

@Joe - Hey many thanks man. Yeah, i run a 1280 x 1024 res, so these look tiny to me, im just always afraid of posting too big. I'd like to get home and do a little post to pull out some of the noise and then i'll post a bigger one of #6. Wasnt exactly what I was after but it took me about 12 shots just to get that one.

@box - Yes, thats the story..... I hadnt seen that. It was chaos down there last nite.
As for the local media - ive never really done that for a few reasons - one, i wouldnt even know where to start - two, im never confident enough to feel i would get something better than the media and three, i usually figure that most places have already gotten what they need by the time im able to get home.

Confident!?!?

Well, the Dallas Morning News didn't have anything that stunning on their website today. I'll bet someone here can tell you who to contact, but you'd wanna get on it right away.

Congratulation, saw this story on the morning news your photos are better then their footage.

Congrats! They obviously knew great images when they saw em...

Very good stuff. I am sorry to hear they found a body in there though.. That's too bad.

You guys all do great work...and your photography isn't bad either. :)
