|
Apparatus not fully in frame.
Only use apron shots if the lighting is correct and you have
enough space. |
 |
|
Camera angle too sharp. |
 |
|
Equipment
raised/extended/activated. Ladders and light towers should not
be raised. Lights should be off. |
 |
|
Open compartments. All compartments should be
closed. Shoot on flat areas, avoid slopes. |
 |
|
Heavy shadows from tree. Target should be
closer to pump panel, and photographer should be further back. |
 |
|
Lack of any camera angle. Front of rig not
shown. |
 |
|
Do not try to take apparatus shots inside the
station. |
 |
|
Don't submit shots from parades. |
 |
|
Driver is in apparatus. Closed bay door would
yield a better shot. Avoid a background with colors that blend
with the apparatus. Contrast is best. |
 |
|
Pump panel side in dark shadows. |
 |
|
While this is a dramatic shot, the camera
position is too low for our purposes. |
 |
|
Working fires are not the best place for posed
apparatus shots. |
 |
|
Watch those backgrounds. Light poles,
signage and power
lines can wreck your composition. Watch those foregrounds too.
In a parking lot, avoid the painted lines if you can. A field
or concrete pad is preferred. |
