At the far left on this picture is an ambulance (they are sharing garage with fire engines). Someone called them at time I was taking pictures and they are about going for action. You will see one person rushing to the ambulance at side of it.
I was planning this for a week in my head since I just happened to pass in front of this station after dark. The ambulance was called when I was shooting. Although it wasn't in my plan but give me a better shutter chance. - I hope that was not so serious business.
Ben, this is a perfectly framed and very good composition, a triptych which works very well. Your timing was great and the sense of drama is excellent because of the hurrying ambulance officer in the otherwise still scene. Although I like b & w images, in this case, my preference is actually for the color one - for some reason it seems more real to me in color.
I actually like both equally and yes colour one have more real life. I decided post B&W here, because it has more concentrate for photographic elements like composition, contrast and drama of the scene.

Works very well in B/W, Ben. Good shot either way.
ReplyDeletegreat tones...
ReplyDeletewonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I love the tones.
ReplyDeletegreat contrast ben!
ReplyDeleteGood exposure here - I like the lighting.
ReplyDeleteI get a real sense of a quite night at the station with color and contrast treatment, lots of atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteOh! This is cool, Ben! I like the three versions of firetrucks.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!

That's a great image. It seems to be still but it manages to convey the sense of urge and dynamic.
ReplyDeleteGood one! I prefer it in B&W by the way
Cheers, Lachezar.
