&gt; However if you spend enough time looking at combat photos and videos, you get a good feel for what kind of situations are captured during combat<p>I strongly disagree with this armchair analysis, &#x27;gut feel&#x27; isn&#x27;t good enough! Some photos happen serendipitously (not sure if that&#x27;s the correct word for combat photographs). I&#x27;ll be damned if the Saigon Execution[1] or the burning monk[2] were staged - yet the framing and timing could not have been any better.<p>1. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;1.bp.blogspot.com&#x2F;-XwjZTVlnghk&#x2F;U3Jv5jqOpBI&#x2F;AAAAAAAAJFM&#x2F;Mf6WVCThdZM&#x2F;s1600&#x2F;Saigon+Execution+Murder+of+a+Vietcong+by+Saigon+Police+Chief,+1968.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;1.bp.blogspot.com&#x2F;-XwjZTVlnghk&#x2F;U3Jv5jqOpBI&#x2F;AAAAAAAAJF...</a><p>2. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;2.bp.blogspot.com&#x2F;-ul72G5EX-Pc&#x2F;VYjrTroozbI&#x2F;AAAAAAAAJ54&#x2F;b-fLE0bNd9Q&#x2F;s1600&#x2F;The%2Bburning%2Bmonk%252C%2B1963%2B%25281%2529.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;2.bp.blogspot.com&#x2F;-ul72G5EX-Pc&#x2F;VYjrTroozbI&#x2F;AAAAAAAAJ5...</a>
