The same old pictures year after yeer soon tend to start looking the same and after a while it gets difficult to separate your trips. With a little planning beforehand and a critical eye during your trip you too can soon be taking photos that not only are a little different, but help you -remember that excursion with more detail. Candid photos are great, andoften show the real nature of people; but that doesn't mean that every shot has to be candid. How often have you received.a roll of film from the processor only to find (hat most of the scenes are of people's backs doing something you can't see? If you're anything like me, it's more often than you care to admit. Never be afraid of setting someone up in a pose to take a representative picture. If for instance, you're on a fishing trip, and you've stopped for -a shore lunch, what about taking a close up of the guycooking a panful of walleye fillets. In a year or so, that plVo will be more representative of your trip than an unposed picture of 6 or 8 people standing around a fire looking at something you can't see. Or, instead of someone standing there grinning at the camera with a whole stringer of fish, how about a low angle snap of the same person cleaning them.• If you think about taking pictures before you go, you'll also find it easier to get good photos while you're on the trip. How are you going? If you go by boat, get a picture of it being loaded. If by car, why not snap a shot of everyone in front of it just before you take off. Twenty years Trom now you may look at it and say, "What an old clunker! I don't know how we ever made it." A group picture or two is always nice, but after that try to get people singly or in pairs. One of the most common faults is trying to get too much into one picture, with the result that -nothing shows up too well. Get in close and isolate the main feature for better results; taking two or three pictures if need be. To quote the words of a famous war photographer, "If your pictures aren't good enough, it's because you're not close enough." These tips won't make you a famous wildlife photographer, because for that you do need special equipment, but they may help you, take more interesting photos. One of the best ways to see how you are doing is to check the last roll of film you shot with a very_critical eye. Look for things you did wrong and remember them for the next time. If you keep at it, you'll wind up with an album that is a pleasure to look at and will tiring those old memories flooding back. + + + Fall is just around the corner, and nature is putting forth her bounty for us again. Chokecherries are ripening and elderberries and thimbleberries are in full swing. Rains and cool weather also mean mushrooms and that old favorite, "the puffball" should soon be making an appearance. The other .nice thing about the fall is that mosquitoes and blackflies disappear for another year. The bush becomes beautiful again and it is no longer a torment to stroll through the pines. It is also the time you will see the most wildlife. The young of the year that have survived are adults now and the rigours of winter have not yet thinned their ranks, so if you want• to enjoy nature at its best, plan a walk now.
