Has Shot And Makes: 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.
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.
This particular scheme, eliminating nearly all waste of time, was highly profitable but we tested another which makes it easier for the salesman to get orders, or easier for you to do the same thing. This therefore might be a better method for you if you feel you are weak at salesmanship but still plan to do the selling yourself. In this alternate plan, the customer is offered one 8 x 10 print for $1 and a choice from proofs for other pictures at the rate of $2 each. The buyer has no choice in the selection of the first print. The photographer selects one negative from the eleven which he has shot and makes the print. This demonstrates to the customer the quality he can expect when he orders from any of the other negatives.
