Metro newspaper, 17 September 2012, featured a photograph by Chris Tangey of a fire tornado in Alice Springs, Australia. Impressed, because not only that I didn't know fire tornados existed (I'm 44! - how did this happen?) but the photograph is stunning. Lucky photographer being in the right place with camera in had (I would miss the moment checking settings...) but the image is perfectly composed with the vertical and horizontal lines along the rules of thirds, plus that bright orange accent against a neutral background of grey swirling dust in the wake of the tornado, and the yellow/green grass and scrub. And when you look closely again you see red/pink within the charcol grey dust - a really effective colour scheme. All the warm colours, red, orange and yellow are present, against the cool green and harsh grey. Fabulous! Wish I'd been there!
