High Park Fire Update- View from Storm Mtn

[Talus]

It looks like the High Park Fire has consumed both East and West White Pine Mountains. West Pine Mountain has a 4x4 trail to the summit- sadly it won't be what it once was. I shot this video of it last Sunday from the summit of Storm Mountain:

Later using Google Earth, I identified the video footage as crossing over West Pine Mountain to the west flank (NE of Pennock Pass).

10x zoom, no tripod - does that camera have image stabilization (optical or digital) on it? It was quite steady all considering but at times it had a slight sway.

This was shot hand-held with no tripod. YouTube now has image stabilization as an option- it works pretty well to eliminate the jitters!
