What kind of a picture makes news? Obviously a car crash, a ship on fire, a house! on fire, landslide damage, a typhoon at its height -the spectacular action shots that make you gasp.
THE LESS OBVIOUS
But then there are the less obvious but equally news-worthy photographs-an exciting finish at Huppy Valley, a hefty shot putter put- ting the shot, a flash finish in a 100-vards dash, a high diver doing a somersault, a Gurkhas' hill race, a low-flying jet zooming over spectators' heads at an air display, fishermen catching a shark or a Manta Ray, a spearfisherman at work underwater, snow on Lantao Peak, a regimental band trooping the colour... the field is wide
open.
But obviously pictures of formal ceremonics like the opening of a new school, laying of founda- tion stones, VIPs inspecting parades come into the "routine category" and cannot expect to qualify.
THREE POINTS
What the China Mail is looking for is the UN- USUAL, DRAMATIC SHOTS, FAST ACTION, -and these pictures need not be immediately topical though. these are obviously preferred.
If you have taken a good picture in previous years of say a fire, typhoon damage, a ship ablaze in Hongkong harbour these will qualify and he
