woodfire magic
Hi all,

I have some photos I wanted to share with you all from
a woodfire at Paul Hermans (Doyle, CA)that ended last
night. I went both Monday and Wednesday nights for a
bit. Last night we had the lunar eclipse coinciding
with the firing, and I believe I got some good shots.
Remarkably, the eclipse ended at the same time the
firing did.

Youll have to ask Paul if the eclipse was responsible
for a great firing after the opening on Sunday!

So enjoy,

Robin,
Way to go, neat shots under the conditions. I was hoping someone got a
few, so appropriately auspicious. We were clouded over so I stayed in
and wired pine cones. Rule of thumb, always keep a loaded camera near at
hand.
Stay in there!
