Stuart Brereton Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Those of you who are in LA, I hope you're enjoying the beautiful orange light caused by the smoke from the sand fire in Santa Clarita. Obviously, I hope they get the fire under control quickly, and no-one is injured, but the warm, slightly diffuse sunlight is otherworldly right now.

Max Field Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Useless post without pictures dude ^_^ I actually just burned my own house down, the light effect is similar quality but I left my camera under a stack of pizza boxes in the basement so no thread for me.

Stuart Brereton Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Sadly, I didn't have my camera with me until now, and the smoke has gotten thick enough to block the sunlight almost entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Satsuki Murashige Posted July 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted July 24, 2016 I was just in town yesterday, you could see the flames from the 5 coming over the Grapevine. Where are you located Stuart? The smoke wasn't so bad in West Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm in Hollywood. There was this amazing orange sunlight throughout most of the day, but by the time I got home and got my camera, the smoke had thickened to the point where it blocked the sun, leaving just a kind of golden brown overcast feel.

David Hessel Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) @Macks Fiiod, really sorry to hear about you house, I hope recovering from it will be as smooth and painless as possible. Living in Colorado we get a lot of wildfires and even ones in California can blow their smoke all the way here. It is an interesting situation I have always wanted to shoot in. When the smoke is dispersed into a haze it produces orange sunlight with blue shadows, direct sunlight is also diffused and softened from the haze.

Ah. When I went out Saturday around noon I just thought that was normal LA smog... Macks, hope you're ok and have a place to stay! Wasn't sure if you were being serious, you were so deadpan.
