Photographing Fire Apparatus
By Dennis Maag Welcome to what we envision to be an ongoing feature with some pointers on how to photograph apparatus in a style that is similar to what you see on the pages of Fire Apparatus Journal. |
 |
| In the first column, we will basically review the submission guidelines that have been used since the magazine first was published in 1984. It covers a broad range of items which are discussed in general terms. Future columns will include detailed descriptions of specific aspects of apparatus photography that can assist you in replicating the images that you’ve seen in Fire Apparatus Journal. We’ll also cover items such as camera settings, information gathering and tricks of the trade that can make a good photo a great shot! And finally, we hope to also offer a forum where you will be able to submit photos to Fire Apparatus Journal photographers for comments about improving the image and the techniques you are employing when photographing apparatus. | |
FIRST DUE: Hawaii County Fire- Engine 19
First Due to a volcano!
| Volcano is not
only the name of the town that Hawaii County Engine 19 serves- there is an
actual active volcano just down the road from quarters!
Station 19, housing Engine and Medic 19, is located on Crater Rim Drive in Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park. Engine 19 is a 2006 Pierce Dash with a 1500 gpm pump and 1000-gallon tank. Station 19 responds to about 1,000 calls per year, more than half being medical responses. |
