    Guys, the photographer is Antonio Grambone and he does a lot of this type of photos. Here's a link to his gallery website.

    http://www.antoniogrambone.it/

    Heres the result of a google search for his stuff.

    I've lived most of my life in wildfire country, and he is the absolute BEST at capturing the tension of a hot drop.

    The guy is good, to say the least.

    The composition, the palette of colors, the precise moment chosen.

    Congratulazioni, signor Grambone! Non si dipinge si spara con la macchina fotografica!
    Torture numbers and they'll say anything.

    When I first saw it I thought that it was a fine art painting, talk about gobsmacked when I realised it was a photo! He has a big brass pair to get that close to the fireline too.
