Burnley Mill fire

There was a fire last night at Pentridge Mill Burnley, I happened to be at the Singing Ringing tree at the time taking photos and managed to get some long range shots of the blaze. I later followed the smoke to the mill which was surrounded by fire engines and decided to take a few more pictures. I have sent the following pictures to various newspapers and have had them displayed as part of the news feeds on the following sites:

Burnley Express

Burnley Citizen

This is Lancashire

Lancashire Evening Telegraph

I think a couple of the pictures will be featured in tomorrows Lancashire Evening Telegraph and some in Fridays Burnley Express. Not bad for a Monday night with the Camera! I took the long distance shots from Crown Point in Burnley using my Nikon 70-300mm VR lens with a 1.7x Kenko teleconverter giving me a 510mm lens which I had to manual focus, try holding that still at that range! the pictures aren’t my best but I’ll learn.
