Don't let crowds Interfere with your picture taking for there are too many
picture possibilities to overlook.
EVERY day we learn more about
amateur photbgraphers and, sur-
prising as it MAY seem, find that
many feel somewhat embarrassed
',king pictures in view of the public
eye. They shrink from the attention
they erroneously believe they at-
tract. Tc feel that way is really ab-
surd.
That type of self-consciousness
will be the cause of your missing
many Interesting pictures. You can
rest assured there is '10 thought of
ridicule on the part of those who
may be apparently watching you
Snap a picture. Nine chances out of
ten the spectator is envious and
Wishes he owned a camera or had
one with him.
There are times, however, when
YOU may want to conceal your cam-
era—and your actions—as much as
possible; not because of embarrass-
ment but for the sake of an unusual,
Yuman interest picture.
Everywhere you go in a city,
whether it is in the park where
babies are perambulated by their
nursemaids, or in the gloomy slums
where some immigrant inother
hangs out the family wash while
ragged little urchins play perilously
on upper balconies, you can find
dramatic, story -telling pictures. Aa
you walk through the streets and
parks there are countless opportuni-
ties for snapshots that are really
unusual, and such pictures breathe
new life into your snapshot album.
When you come upon a good pic-
ture possibility in the form of a per
hon or persona in action, that is the
time you want to conceal your came
era and intentions as much as pos'
sable, for to get the best results, your
su1ject should not be conscious of
your presence. On approaching such
subjects. it is best to set your focus-
ing scale at a distance from 'which
you believe you will get the best re-
sults. Judge your light and properly
set the diaphragm and shutter speed.
When you are "all set," approach
your prey quite nonchalantly and
when you reach the proper distance
to take the picture you are after,
shoot without further delay and your
unsuspecting victim will have un-
knowingly furnished you with good
snapshot material,
This kind of amateur photography
can be employed in so many places.
This is especially true in the sum.
mor, for if there is any place to get
informal, candid camera pictures, it
is on picuica at your local swimming
pool,or the favorite avorfte old awimmla'
hole, at the 'seashore or summer re'
sort.
And, speaking of summer resorts,
have you noticed the number of na
tlonally known people — stage and
screen stars, members of socially
prominent families, and even great
business leaders—who are pictured
in newspapers and magazines with
their cameras In action, It has really
become the smart thing to own and
use a camera,
So sally forth with your camera,
with all the abandon 01 a sailor
strolling with one of Ids many sweet•
cture!
