I took this waaay back in 2006 or 2007 (at my parent's farm) with my old camera,
so I know it's not all that great...
but, we were driving by the fire & I just swung around & snapped...
I love how the trees in the background are blurred, but some leaves are in focus,
the wood piles are in focus, and the brush pile and fire is partially blurred & partially in focus...
it's a real action/motion shot!
And, the b&w version is much more detailed & dramatic!
I've tried to redo it & just can't get the same look.

I love this shot!! I really like the color one - just makes me wish I was there! I love being outside and that looks like an amazing place.
Good cameras REALLY do make a difference, don't they??? I never realized that until we got our Canons... Now I look back at some of my old photos and am shocked at the quality...
I do like your picture though.

I like the shot, looks great in B&W.
I really like this shot. Great for being a drive by shot!
it is a perfect 'life in the country' shot. :)
Love it. I can almost smell the smoke.
It's what the camera sees! I like it!!!
Both images strike me as very effective drive-by shots.
Each has their own strengths. You did a fine job with such an impromptu shot. Very well done.
Tricia, this is wonderful!
I especially love the black and white version.
Thank you so very much for sharing with us this week.

Really cool shot!
I actually smell the wood burning... a familiar scent of childhood.
Great shot.
I love this shot, but thats just me and black and white photos. It is really nice and like the composition of the overall image. Well done
Hi!! Such a pretty photo! I love the beautiful colors!!
Lovely, Tricia! The B&W is great, but right now, all that green looks really good to me. (Come on spring!)
These are great! Love the B&W!
Thank you for linking up with Wild & Wonderful Wednesday!
Wow - if that is a quick shot on the run! You have talent.
Your shot in black and white really shows the smoke off so well.........what an oportunity while driving by.
Very good photo.
I like both versions, maybe just a little more black and white :)
Regards and best wishes
The trees, with all the underbrush cleared out, look so pretty. Someone's been working hard on this land.
One of the great things about a DSLR is that you can capture moving objects much better than with a p&s...but I like this a lot - no need to apologize. And it's really never about the camera...it's the person behind the camera as you've proven over and over again!
I think I like the color shot better this time- all that pretty green...Of course I have spring on my mind!
