I hope this is a promo picture on a cold range, because I doubt those are air pistols like today, and that photographer is clearly ahead of the firing line
Or angles with zoom lens.
I'm not sure zoom lenses were a thing in 1912...
Maybe not zoom, but telephoto, yes. https://www.alamy.com/expedition-photographer-herbert-george-ponting-and-telephoto-camera-apparatus-antarctica-january-1912-image594717472.html
