Impressive shot chuck. Maybe you should submit it to EPOD. We all may have more chances to get smoke covered shots that we'd like. Listening to the aircraft chatter at Tooele airport I noticed the air tankers appeared to have been taken off the Patch Spring fire and retargeted to other fires. I got confirmation of that today speaking with the reporter I took up yesterday. Apparently with nothing valuable out that way they're just letting the fire burn. Could be a while until it's out. patrick On 15 Aug 2013, at 20:19, Chuck Hards wrote:
Here's a frame grabbed from some video I shot this afternoon from my backyard. Hand-held and blown up quite a bit, so excuse the lack of crispness. Several sunspot groups are visible in the original video, and I was lucky enough to get a flock of birds fly through the frame.
