Default Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Photography

Best use of Photography I've seen in play (possibly also the only one) was in my old 3rd ed Cliffhangers campaign.
In Goslar, Germany in 1936 or so we were investigating a mystery concerning either a werewolf or a space-alien. Out tabloid journalist was about to develop important photos, assisted by the Texan stuntman- The latter wanted to help, using only (a none too good IQ-)default in order to have en excuse for putting points in the skill.
A Critical Failure was rolled, the GM ruled the Texan had put out his cigar using a container of flamable liquid. There was a 'slight' fire-mishap in the hotel room.
