Thanks for the compliments guys.
The pics aren't tweaked in PS, not even auto levels.
The smoke in the sky makes it look just like the tobacco filters that SCC and other mags use to get those rich colors in the sky. I was pretty stoked to get a pic like that since I was really in love with the old sig pic with the white, orange, and purple sky that I had shot a few years ago. (pre-body & paint)
I will post up a full sized pic later for those who're interested.
Unfortunately with the fires over 200 people've lost there homes. It's really crazy, I am at least 20 miles from the nearest fire but it smells like smoke and it is snowing ash over probably a 40 mile radius.
I am going to head out to the Sport Compact Drag finals in Pomona where there is a fire probably 6 miles or less from the track. I hope that the smoke isn't too bad. It can difnitely irritate the throat and lungs even as far away as I am.
