Fire Fire! by maggiemae

Fire Fire!

The weather gave us a taste of summer today and I sat on our steps and just embraced the sun and warmth.
The fire siren went and I heard the fire engines come closer and closer so quickly grabbed my camera.
Here I have cheated a bit as I wanted the fire engine to be blurred as it screamed past.
The focus was too good so I used Zoom blur to create the effect.

Three good things;
1. After all these photos of ‘toad in the hole’ i had to make it! Very successful particularly with the gravy!
2. A relaxed day
3. Connection with Andrea @andreajoy’ on FB! She is not in a position to post a photo every day but the 365 bond is still so strong and important!
Great capture

Good effect with the blurr - no flashing lights? A taste of summer sounds very nice indeed from over here!

@helenhall You are right - maybe I just got the shot in between the flashes!

Glad to know this truck was not on its way to your house! Nice post processing job on the "speed" factor.

Nicely done. If you didn't tell us about the blur effect, I might not have guessed.

That was a good idea to use the zoom to get the effect you wanted.

@mbrutus I have to be honest Mr M, or it is not genuine!

@granagringa A bit too easy, -but there is always the challenge to get it right!

Great use of the zoom effect. Hope the emergency wasn't too serious.

A well timed capture

The zoom blur's imparted the sense of urgency really well.

Had to come & see if there was a photo of the toad in the hole but you've eaten it!! So true about @andreajoy, she's not too good poor girl.

@happypat No, not eaten it all - in fact it lasted for three days!
