The Fire Department was called out last night to help with storm spotting. We watched for tornados for about an hour and a half. After an exciting night of storms and tornado warnings, we were in the clear. The storm split-up and moved to the south. This is a few frames from the tail end of the storm as it moves south.

I’ve been experimenting with different lighting schemes the past month or so. Back in April, I found some success using hand-held flashlights, multiple exposures, and compositing. A couple nights ago I went back to the fire house after dark, and took new shots of our Ladder truck and Rescue truck. This is a collage I put together of the two trucks. The flag and flames are stock images. The phoenix logo I designed a couple years ago. This piece will be used as part of a framed collage of portraits of all the firefighters’ on the department. This portion will be at the bottom of the frame, with 35 cut-out holes in rows above for each firefighter’s portrait.
This is a shot of Truck 7 at the Tea Volunteer Fire Department. The image is a composite of 9 separate shots. The only light used to light the truck in each shot was a hand-held flashlight. Interesting effect…
This is a detail view from one of the lockers at our fire department. Many of the fire fighters on our department have small personal mementos in their lockers that personalize their space, and let everyone know what they stand up for.
