G'day all I've had this idea in my noggin for a very long time and just last sunday I was able to put pen to paper so to speak and went up to kitchener street fire station in toowoomba and conducted the shoot, I'm a familiar face amoung the guys up there so cooperation wasn't any trouble. the guys were more then happy to have a bit of fun on a sunday morning. :-)

Hi Michael,

As said offline... great choice of shutter speed in the second frame...

I'm a big fan of this shot.. nicely done.

cheers

Great story telling in these 3 shots. #2 shows superb use of shutter speed. Tripod mounted? The last shot is a little too formal for me. I'd have liked to see something dropped in haste or the shoes more scattered, but that's only a minor issue

A complementary set of images Michael. Great story line. Perhaps as a small suggestion having the back end of the firetruck disappearing in a blur round the corner in the third shot may have added a little extra:)
cheers

Stubby yes all three shots were trpod mounted.

I would have like to get the truck disappearing around the corner but I couldn't get a decent shot in time.

and the boots were left how the guys took them off to put thier pants on for authenticity :P thanks for the comments though much appreciated.

Cool idea, and it works really well. Great story of our unsung heros.
