2 Clips are First Responders

I was fighting with my conscience on shooting this footoage.  There was a traffic accident near my house that was drawing a crowd.  I mentioned to my wife that I had always thought that offering footage of emergency vehicles would be a good idea since the footage is used in PSAs and other well meaning media. My idea was to stop by fire halls or police stations and ask for close-ups of some of the vehicles, or ride-along on trainings, not poach real accidents.  I decided that if I shoot with a focus not so much on the detail, but the feel of the scene, I would be able to sleep at night.  This would make a great background for informational text in videos, or to set the mood for more serious projects.  I have included a clean shot, and well as one that is a little more "voyeuristic".

This was also the test run for my old 35mm MD mount lens using my new adapter for my T2i.  I think it looks pretty good!
