Mt. Miguel Burning, San Diego Wildfires

    Newer Older

    I really didn't feel like sleeping the night I took this photo, wondering if my family might have to evacuate, when I saw on the Internet that Mount Miguel was burning. So at 1 am, I drove up Mount Helix, which is about a mile from my house and took three rolls of film of the fire on Mt. Miguel which was about three miles away. Taken with a Praktica MTL50 35 mm SLR, Fujifilm 200 DIN color film, 50 mm lens (not cropped), f1.8 with a 3 sec. exposure, developed at Costco, scanned by them. I didn't have a tripod, so I put the camera on a stone wall to take the shot. Those white spots in the upper left corner are stars.
