Lowlight: It was on a Sunday morning - the only day I get a lie - in.
Fill in: A dog saves life of a pensioner when she nearly gets run over by a 4x4.
I work for a chat mag, and normally the real life stories are pretty grim, but the occasional upbeat one reaches the pages. This one was about a doggie that broke the fall of his mistress as she crossed the zebra crossing outside her home and was nearly run over by a 4x4 driver that did not stop. Aaah! It was a huge slobbery thing (the dog, not the driver) getting it too look at camera took a little while but got there eventually.
The brief with these stories is to get every detail possible from the zebra crossing to the backbrace that the victim was encased in for 6 months to her daughter and son who arrived first at the scene of the crime. It's rather like a post forensic operation after the horse has bolted or a stills version of a crime watch reconstruction. Unfortunately the victim was not well enough to re-enact the crossing of the road for a snap...
The Zebra crossing
The family
The canine hero
The backbrace
Tech spec: I usually keep lighting to a minimum as room is usually limited. One speedlight with diffuser dome, wndow light to fill.
