White Shot Is Only: In the shot put a heavy metal sphere is propelled from a circle seven feet in diameter; four feet of its circumference—in the forepart of the circle—contains a toeboard four inches high. In this event the shot is not allowed to pass behind or below the shoulder, so that technically it is "put" rather than "thrown." A 16-pound shot is used in major masculine competition, such as in the Olympic Games, national championships, and intercollegiate competition; the 12-pound shot is usually used by males in secondary schools, and the 8-pound shot is used in feminine competition, including the Olympic Games. In the games the shot put is also one of the 10 decathlon events for men. A put of over 65 feet has been made with the 16-pound shot, and a woman has exceeded 56 feet with the 8-pound shot.
Although the big money in calendars lies in color transparencies, calendar publishers offer a good market for black and white pictures, as well. Subject matter desired in black and white is the same as in color. Payment for a black and white shot is only about a tenth of the price for color, but that still is high enough to be profitable.
You'll want to make a number of grab shots just before the ceremony . . . bridegroom and best man at their posts, bride on the arm of her father, bride and her attendants as they start down the aisle and at least one long shot during the ceremony. This one shot might well be a long shot of the entire assembly, taken from the back of the church by time exposure, with the Camera on a tripod. |
