I love this firefighter shot. It was a tough assignment from Readers Digest to shoot a firefighters school. The same assignment went out across the country. I was told, 'we're short on flames so if you can get some good flame shots you could have a shot at the cover.' Of course the school is inside a big brick bldg where fires are started and students go in and put them out. Its as dark as night in there and you can't go in without full safety gear. I was able to have the instructor light a fire for me outside just as it was getting dark. I almost got no pictures at all but did manage to get this one and a few more. And yes I got the cover!
Used an innovatronix battery powered strobe with umbrella. Camera: canon 1Ds mark11 and 70-200mm zoom lens. The few good shots I did get took all of 5 or 10 minutes.
