Rescue missions captured on camera


NEST photography course-426Northland’s dedicated air ambulance service, the Northland Emergency Services Trust (NEST), is adding another skillset to its team CV, thanks to Canon New Zealand’s offer to train the pilots and paramedics in the art of capturing high quality rescue footage.

This support includes the donation of two PowerShot SX610HS cameras, which will enable the pilots to record rescues more clearly, offer quality imagery to news agencies, and post photos to Facebook without having to be at a computer – valuable during NEST’s time sensitive operations.

Trust chief executive and pilot Peter Turnbull is enthusiastic about the possibilities for capturing rescue missions in the coming months, once the team has had a chance to take in the information at their personalised photography training session which was held at the helicopter base last week.

“This training will provide a complete overview of everything the team needs to know about the cameras, which will give us the ability to further document NEST’s involvement in the community whilst at the same time allowing us to release emergency services updates as soon as possible.”

Guiding the team through the cameras, the training provided a crash course in composition, shutter speed, aperture and ISO levels so the team will be able to capture press-ready rescue footage when attending a callout.

“We are grateful for the thoughtful donation from Canon and look forward to putting the training to good use. All donations are immensely appreciated as they help improve the level of service we offer our community.”

TRAINING: Photography is another skill NEST team members are learning thanks to cameras from Canon.
