Fire and Ice

Okay, so there is no fire, but there are firefighters! Close enough. I was out snapping pictures and I saw firetrucks out again and my kids wanted pictures with them. They turned out cute, but they aren't water. They asked me if I would be willing to take pictures of them practicing a rescue, of course I would!!! They were in the middle of the pond and the ice was about 9 inches thick. My kids loved watching it. I was wishing I had a better zoom, but I only have the kit lens. These are my favorites of the 100 or so I took.. I am loving my camera and I am not missing the lag of my old camera!! HHCC appreciated as always! Thanks for looking!

f14 1/200 ISO 400 The Chainsaw cutting through the ice, I love the spray. f14 1/500 ISO 400 Out of the ice, on his knees, I love the reflection on this one. f14 1/320 ISO 400 In the water doing the rescue.
f14 1/1000 ISO 400 Being pulled out and onto land.

These are great, I wish I could see more detail in their faces, do you have Adobe Lightroom? I know you can do a 'fill light' in PS but I'm not sure how, but you can do it in Lightroom. Email me if you want me to try one.

I look forward to looking at your new pictures every time I check out your blog. My husband wants us to do the challenge too. We'll probably just use it as a guide. I'm proud of you for working so hard at this. Although I don't think you'd consider it work!:)
