A rescue worker holds a little girl after she was passed through a line of firefighters. The actual fire shots of the apartment building were, of course, the main subject matter, but this particular "crowd shot" has always been my favorite.
This fire was jaw dropping...
I used a Rolleicord Vb with 75mm f/3.5 Schneider lens. The film was Tri-X pan ASA 400. The developer was D-76, and a yellow filter was used. The light meter was a Gossen Luna Pro.
I did not record the actual settings; I was all over the place and shot three rolls of film.

Nice capture....When everyone else is looking at the fire you are looking at the most important thing.

the facial expressions are fascinating. while it seems odd that the man on the left looks like he's amused, the grave expressions of the others are fitting. great capture.
