Clinton News-Record, 1985-12-18, Page 191 • Learn at home A couple off years ago, the Outdoor Writers of Canada held a convention in Fredericton, New Brunswick. While some of the conven- tion is basically just for fun and social in- teraction, there are also some high powered workshops involved as well. On this particular occasion, the main speaker was Lefty Kreh, one of the best out- door photographers in the US. Lefty has pro- bably sold more photos to outdoor magazines on a consistent ongoing basis then anyone I know, and he still is today. Lefty started. talking to a full house on Saturday morning and ran right through un- til lunch. I have to admit that it's one of the few times I've seen a speaker operate when he didn't have to compete with background conversations. He literally had everyone sit- ting on the edge of their seat. Not only that, but with a bit of coercion, he came back and gave us another three full hours that same afternoon. His subject was just the nuts and bolts methods to use in order to produce good saleable interesting pictures. I felt the infor- mation I picked up was more than worth the entire cost of the convention, and I only ab- sorbed a fraction of the tips he put across. I've always felt since then, that if he were speaking within striking distance, I would make a special effort to go see him again because I know it would be worthwhile. I'm happy to report, however, that just last weekend, I enjoyed another hour ses- sion with Lefty and found it just as infor- mative as the first time. Better yet, I did it in my own home and it cost less than it would have to drive to Toronto and back. L.L. Bean in Freeport, Maine has• just started up a video library and one of their first subjects is the Guide To Outdoor Photography featuring Lefty Kreh. They couldn't have made a better choice. This 55 minute video is a practical ap- proach to photography! which is bound to Naturally Speaking asmerereesegsvassewriesslitemesielbt help anyone from the rank amateur on up take better pictures. It's not a technical presentation, so if you want to get into lens aberrations or equipment lineups, you're bound to be disappointed. If, however, you simply want to take better pictures, then this is'a cheap way to learn how. Lefty touches on equipment and ac- cessories, film speeds, etc., but the real meat of the film centers on composition and lighting, the two most important points to consider when making photographs. The basic assumption is that you know how to use your camera. Lefty shows you how to use it with effect. It would be impossible for me to try to ex plain Lefty's techniques here, and even harder to explain them as well as he does. It suffices to say, that if you followed Lefty's suggestions to the letter you would be taking magazine quality photographs which you would be proud to show off to your friends. So how do you get ahold of this video? There's two ways. First, you can buy it directly from L.L. Bean for $79.95 US. It sounds expensive, but it's something you can refer back to time b- and time again, and if you get together with a few friends the price drops dramatically. But, there's another way which might work out just as well. If you write L.L.Bean, and include a money order for $79.95 US, tell them you wouldHlike to rent the tape. They'll send it out to you with a return envelope in- cluded. Then, you can have it for two weeks By Stave Cooke of viewing, return it to Bean's (it actually has to be returned within 30 days, but I'd allow one week each way for mailing) and they'll refund you $54.95 US. The actual cost for all the benefits is only $25 us. and believe me, the increase in the quality of your photos will more than make that pay. For complete information, contact L.L.
