Firefighters

Hello,

this photo is completely different from what I usually do.
I work for the Fire Service and one night I had the opportunity to take a shot - no I am not a fireman.
The photo is not pin sharp because I wanted to catch the movement of the scene.

So what do you think about that?

    Good try, but I miss some sharpness..
    A photographer without a style, is like a pub without beer

    Yes , but with a title "Firefighters" I would have taught that they would have been the focus point.
    Of course you know better then all of us what the intend was. Did you point at the sparks ?

    I was at work so it was chaotic - to be honest it was so dark so the auto focus went for the sparks.

    My reaction is that you got it right (my "home forum is street/PJ) The sparks are the story. That is what wows me. And the slowing of the shutter speed deliberately is perfect for this scene. It conveys the intensity of the blaze on the left side and the motion of the firefighters.

    Love it! bowdown.gif
