Small object OK photogrciphy By HOLT CONFER There is probably no way you can get a better feel for your camera equip- ment and demonstrate to yourself other importance of proper lighting than by photographing small ob- jects found around the • house. The nice thing about all this is that you don't have to buy a whole lot of expen- sive equipment to get very acceptable results. You will, though, need to make a commitment that you won't hurry to get done, since you will have to in- vest some time getting or- ganized. Whether you realize it or not, you've just learned something that commer- cial photographers discov- er early in their careers - that the actual picture tak- ing itself takes virtually no time at all. The prepara- tion, on the other hand, can take hours or even days to complete. In fact, the preparation for still-life pictures is what clients pay for - the arrangement of the parts, the lighting, the effect that's created when every- thing is in place - is what separates one photogra- pher from another. But getting back to ba- sics - they pretty much have to go through >the same thought processes as you'll be doing. First off, after you've de- cided on what you want to photograph, you'll need to consider the background. Do you want to show the object in its usual environ- ment or do you want to show it in an artificially created situation? If you decide you want to use the artificial back- ground, then you'll need seamless background paper (an extra expense for the person who only does this sort of shooting occasionally), or you might Small details are what make your wedding day special! And the complete line of "Forever Yours" wedding stationery by International Artcraft is one of those details. Look through our catalogue and choose from dozens of invitations, reply cards and informals. As well, you may choose accessories such as personalized matches, serviettes and many other distinctive items. We offer a wide range of elegant type styles, including the popular "Wedding Script". To co-ordinate with the entire colour scheme of your wedding, choose from traditional white or ivory, or one of the many hues offered. Look through the catalogue today. 1 1 c -s\ 4ye 41,0 ‘4A find some material around the house that will work just as well. A favorite of mine is black velvet. There is nothing that absorbs light quite as well as black velvet - so if a full, deep black background would enhance your subject, try it: The next item up for consideration is the light- ing. Here you have several options. One, of course is to use professional -type light- ing equipment. But once again, when you.take that path, you're making an in- vestment that seems a bit foolish unless you're plan- ning to use the lights a great deal. As an alterna- tive, why move your object next to a window. Even though the day may be dreary, there will still be adequate light available for taking good shots of small objects. One bit of equipment that you will have to have is a tripod - but then, that should be part of every photographer's equipment anyway. Now that you have all the parts assembled, it's time to set up your shot. You've located a table next to a window, now getyour background fabric draped so that it covers the ex- tremes of your subject - it will need to extend a foot or so higher than your sub- ject, and extend about the same distance beyond the base of your subject. There is some advantage of beginning your still-life photographic career with small objects - a - fact - you've probably already discovered. Next, put your subject in place, but ask yourself, what might look good in the same picture. Perhaps there is a little something, such as a flower, that might just make your shot a bit more interesting. Then you'll need to move your subject about a bit to see how the light changes the "look" as, it falls from various directions. Perhaps you could help lighten some shadowed areas by using a simple re- flector (a piece of white cardboard would work just fine). Now you're ready to get your camera set up on a tripod and compose your - picture. When you've made all the necessary adjust- ments, checked your focus, made certain the shutter speed and exposure are correct, squeeze your cable release, and the whole thing will be over in about half a second. All over, that is, except the satisfaction of knowing you've made a serious at- tempt at creating a profes- sional image. ACP! SS 1.Fat: French 5. Trail 9. U.S. President 10. Mark; influence 18.
