[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 18301, member: 1283"] Here's a tip I'll share (you may already know this), when shooting sports for publication, after you shoot a scoring play, interception, or any significant play, take a photo of the scoreboard. This will help place the image in context and aid the tag-line (caption) writer (this might even be you, the photographer). For example, a batter hits a homerun in the bottom of the 5th on a 3-2 count and you get a shot of the batter being congratulated at home plate by his teammates. By shooting an image of the scoreboard immediately after the homerun, as the editor is going through the images, he/she will have the info necessary to write an accurate caption. There may be times, especially at a small paper, when there is not a writer from your paper covering the event also, so the paper will depend upon you to provide notes for a writer to caption your images or write an accompanying story. Without the shot of the scoreboard, are you going to remember that the homerun was hit in the bottom of the 5th inning? It also is always a good idea to get a roster of the teams so that the players can be properly identified in a photo's caption. [/QUOTE]
