Note
One -ing form does two jobs here. As a participle it builds the progressive (they were photoing the falls); as a gerund it names the activity itself (photoing street signs filled the week). The verb behind it is transitive, meaning to take a photograph of something, so both uses normally carry a direct object. The spelling simply adds -ing to the final o, with no hyphen and no doubled letter.
