RULES FOR COVERING ASSIGNMENTS
Although a newspaper photographer may be called upon to take any conceivable type of picture , a number of standard assignments occur so often that general rules can be given for their proper coverage .
CRIME . The actual scene of a crime is always important . If the police have taken charge , they may not permit photographs of the scene until they have completed their preliminary investigation , but you can take pictures of the house where the crime occurred . Pictures of the victim , the person who discovered the crime and those of suspects taken into custody by the police are always important .
In covering a holdup or robbery , take some pictures of clues found by the police and of people who were endangered . Get a general view of the scene of the crime so that a diagram can be made from it if the editor orders one .
FIRES . If possible , take your tripod with you when covering night fires . Some very good pictures have been made by the light of fires , but exposures are often too long for a hand - held camera .
A well composed action shot . Note that the stream of water is black just as are the figures of the firemen because of the backlighting . Compare this illustration with the one on page 28 in which the stream of water is lighted from the front . Courtesy of Chicago Today , Photo by Ed Wagner , Jr.
The most interesting fire pictures are those showing rescue work . Try to get as many of these as possible . However , such pictures are quite difficult to get because rescue work is usually completed by the time you arrive . If you are so fortunate as to reach a fire early enough to get in on the rescue scenes , concentrate on them first . The fire itself can be taken later . Usually the short wait will result in more spectacular pictures of the blaze .
Other newsworthy pictures are shots of people made homeless by the fire , and of firemen overcome by smoke or receiving emergency treatment for injuries . If the temperature is below freezing , try to get some pictures of firemen or fire equipment coated with ice to show the severity of the weather .
COURTS . Before covering a courtroom assignment , always check with an attendant to find out whether the judge will permit pictures . There is no set rule on this point - the individual judge makes his own rules , and they must be obeyed or the photographer may find himself held in contempt of court .
If the judge does not permit the taking of pictures in his courtroom , they must be taken outside when the principals leave . If the court has more than one exit , it may not be possible to cover them all . A standard method of handling this situation when a number of press photographers are covering the assignment is for them to agree to pool their pictures . Men are then assigned to cover each door . The resulting pictures can be used by all photographers who made up the pool . If there is no such arrangement and you are successful in getting a scoop , that picture is yours exclusively and no other photographer will expect you to share it .
WEDDINGS . Weddings are always news if they involve socially prominent people . As far as the photographer is concerned , practically all follow the same pattern and require the same pictures - the bride arriving for the ceremony , the young couple leaving the church , and a group of important guests . If you are permitted inside for the reception , you are free to make as many informal shots as you wish .
SPORTS . In taking pictures of sporting events , the most important consideration is that you be thoroughly familiar with the sport . Only by becoming so can you anticipate important action and take pictures with meaning .
Perfect Timing - on the part of the photographer as well as the boxer .

For the smaller sporting events , when you can safely get down along the sidelines , the press - type camera will generally be found best . For major sports , such as baseball or football , where you are normally stationed in the stands , a 35mm reflex with an assortment of long telephoto lenses is est . A waist level twin lens reflex type of camera in which the photographer buries his head in the focusing hood is a dangerous camera along the sidelines in a football game . When his head is buried in the hood , he is unaware of what is going on about him and so he can easily be hurt ..
The tensed muscles of an athlete caught in a moment . of extreme stress can produce some highly exciting pictures .

The exaggerated perspective of a low angle . shot at close - up often results in an unusual and very : interesting picture .

In sports , it is extremely important to follow the action and anticipate your pictures . In a race , for example , the most important shot is the finish . Station yourself in a good spot to get it in your camera finder , focus on the finish line , and be ready for the participants when they get there . All you have to do then is snap the picture .
In football , watch the offensive team since it institutes the plays and determines the action . Follow the ball at all times , and try to show it in every picture . The best shots are those with plenty of action showing players bunched around the ball .
The Tackle . To get good close - ups of this kind requires extremely long telephoto lenses - as well lots of luck . Courtesy of Chicago Today , Photo by Tony Berardi , Jr.
When you must take posed pictures of famous athletes , get some action into the pose whenever you can . Even a football star cannot make a good picture subject if he is stuck in front of your camera and mugged without any action at all . If he is a tackle , make at least one shot of him charging at the camera . Another very effective shot can be made of a ball carrier apparently stiff - arming an opponent just out of the camera view . To get the action in sharpest focus , make a mark on the ground where you want him to pivot as he comes charging toward the camera . Focus on the spot and snap him just as he reaches it .
Many athletes are expert at posing and know just what you want . You will . find them quite willing to cooperate to any reasonable degree . After all , every picture of them appearing in print is so much free publicity , and their status as athletes , as well as their income , is largely dependent upon the amount of publicity accorded them . To put it another way , when an athlete poses for you , he isn't doing you a favor . He is helping you , it is true , but you are helping him to an even greater degree .
