It doesn't take special equipment to make your
outdoor photos more interesting, but it does take
a little thought. 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.
