51 Oct 25 Reply Good idea! I could have asked one of the fire fighters to pose with the gear, even if he/she was just standing next to it - or reaching for it, etc. Not a smiling snapshot, but a simulated action shot. Next time...

51 Oct 25 Reply That's exactly why this image works for me. I think it can create the opportunity to look at the equipment and the gear, and think about all the stories that might be involved.

And let's not forget the connection of September and FDNY.

51 Oct 25 Reply That's a fair question, and I don't have the answer. It might be solution for rapid deployment, but I don't know if it is standard procedure. At the next open house, I'll have to ask. The Fire Fighters are always very willing to talk about their work and equipment.

51 Oct 25 Reply I completely agree. I tried shooting from several different positions, but the stack of coveralls and boots was just too compact. It is even difficult to notice the toes of the boots without close inspection.

51 Oct 25 Reply The local Fire Authority holds regular open houses at the stations on a rotating basis. They maintain a very positive relationship with the community. They do great work.

51 Oct 25 Comment My experience is similar to yours. Several years ago, the crowds at the park became so unruly that it diminished what should have been a sober celebration of our independence.

51 Oct 25 Comment That's quite a vista. It must have been a thrilling drive. Beautiful location. Nice capture.

51 Oct 25 Comment Three macro shots from members this month. I don't dabble in macro, so I have limited knowledge about it. I think the original is fine, so I don't know if I would have filled the spaces between the petals, but that's a personal choice.

51 Oct 25 Comment That really is a significant crop. The image still looks sharp and without noise, too. The side view of the bee adds interest since the viewer can see more of what's happening. The flower vs bee colors are a good contrast. Nice capture. The only whine is that the bee's wings are out of focus, but the software made that decision for you.

51 Oct 25 Comment Great capture. I think the repositioned version is more effective. The light/shadow on the critter looks correct, so that works well. Good use of depth of field, too. I like that it seems to be looking at the camera. I found one of them on a wall last year, but my photos didn't look anywhere near as good as yours.
