We're Always Looking For Your Photos...

Member,

"What’s the fun of a photo if you can’t share it?"

(View Our Photo Submission Guide For HOW to submit your photos)

At EMTBravo.com, we are always looking for the latest original photos to show our members. The photos on EMTBravo.com sent in by our members is one of the most important features that drives our site. We are always on the lookout for the best photos of the area's latest incidents,apparatus deliveries (Fire EMS AND PD), apparatus spy shots, unique happenings, etc. We're currently specifically interested in serious incidents, new deliveries, and spy shot photos from Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Southern Dutchess, Southern Orange, New York City, Bergen County NJ, Fairfield County CT, especially the Stamford metro area, and Los Angeles CA. We're also on the lookout for photos of any agency taking delivery of a Dodge Charger, Pierce Arrow Xt, or Mack Granite. Our site is visited by a large amount of your peers from the area...what do you want to show them?

You don't have to be a professional photographer or even a great one to submit, we just ask for a reasonable amount of quality shots to choose from that others would be interested in seeing. We ask that the photos submitted are at least 750x550 in size, in decent lighting and properly framed. When we decide and sort what photos we are going to post, we are thinking about what the general membership of EMTBravo would like to see.

One of the biggest complaints we hear is "Why weren't my photos posted?". We realize that some people get upset or are insulted that they don't see their photos posted. Their are several reasons for this. Often time, it's simply because we run out of time to post every single photo received. Many photos are queued or warehoused for future use. Mostly everyone who submits to EMTBravo has had their photos not posted at one time or the other. When you submit photos, they are all considered for posting and chosen from a large pool of submissions, and just by submitting does not automatically entitle you to the photos being posted on EMTBravo.com

Here are some reasons why photo's aren't posted:

-Poor quality photos (poor lighting, shot is cut off, random people in the shot, shot is blurry, shot is obstructed, etc)

-Apparatus inside a garage

-Nothing interesting going on in the incident photos (What do you want to see when looking at photos?)

-Incident photos don't show personnel working, or anything to learn from

-Photos don't reflect the emergency services as positive

-Emails don't include EMTBravo username for photo credit or permission to post

-Not enough photos to make an interesting layout (We are hoping to reintroduce in the near future our "Photo Feed" feature, which will allow us to show the single shots that we receive.

We know there are a ton of you with cameras that take great photos, but don't share with us....yet. So, if you have a set of photos that you want to share for us to consider posting, feel free to email them to EMTBravo@EMTBravo.com. Remember to include your EMTBravo username. All photos must be YOURS. Check out our Photo Submission Guide for further details: http://emtbravo.com/PSG.html. For tips on Fire & EMS photography, feel free to visit the Fire/EMS Photography interactive forum on EMTBravo.net.

Special thanks to ALL the EMTBravo.com submitting photographers for continuing to share their photos with all of us. It is much appreciated.

We're looking foward to seeing your photos!
