Description

This is a redone version of a photo I entered maybe a year ago. This scene was photographed outside a gallery of portraits of firefighters. A candlelight ceremony had just been held a block away near the rubble from a warehouse conflagration that snuffed out the lives of two firefighters. These are the children of the artist who painted the portraits.

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/20 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 4000, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
