Image 5-5. If a fall occurred in a stairway, a view from the top of the stairs looking down should be taken with a normal lens and fill flash.

Image 5-6. Other views taken with a wide angle lens may be useful to show the height of the stairs, but the perspective distortion can be disturbing.

Image 5-7. A wide establishing shot taken with a normal lens is needed for falls resulting from cracks in a sidewalk.

Image 5-8. The medium shot for a sidewalk fall, from a somewhat lower angle, should show all or most of the width of the sidewalk and the relative height of the crack. Fill flash is often needed to show everything clearly.

Other than on properties, falls can happen on sidewalks that are in need of repair. These sidewalks could be public or private, but the photographic documentation is the same for both. The wide establishing view down the sidewalk should be taken with your normal lens from the height of an average person, about 5.5 feet (image 5-7). If the problem area of the sidewalk is in shadow, use some flash fill that more closely approximates the way the human eye would respond.

A medium distance photo from a lower angle shows the extent of the problem across the sidewalk (image 5-8). This view is important to show whether the problem could be avoided, or whether it extended across the full width of the sidewalk. Flash fill should be used to fill in shadow areas.
