Hi Walt,
Yeah back in those days some guys burned back grounds down so bad there 
wasn't anything to be seen but the so called "photo subject!"

And today guys get fired for slightly changing the colour of the sky at a 
fire.

I never got into that deep burning at any time as I tried to do it subtlyso 
it wasn't obvious, just enough to bring the main subject matter out.

if you could see it.... it was tooooooooo much!;-)
