But making really fine amateur Pic- tures is an art, requiring thought and planning. The ,basic secret of all good pho- tography is to keep things simple. That is a law which applies to every form of creative art. In many ways it ie harder to achieve sim- plicity in photography, however, be- cause the temptation is to snap the shutter without proper cousldera- tton for background and compost - .tion. As a result, many amateur snapshots lack unity and organiza- tion. The Scene tends to be filled with so many irrelevant and unim- portant details that the main em- phasis is lost. • The informal portrait snapshot of the setter (above) le a beautiful ex- ample xample of how rewarding absolute simplicity can be. The amateur pho- tographer here used a perfectly plain dark background to set off the gorgeous warm hair of the dog's - face and nock. in all informal por- traits, si.uldlCIty of background is important, it is 011511 practiced to use the sky, or a plaits wall. Next best is soft foliage, so general in overall pattern as 10 avoid disturb- Ing horisorltal, Vortical, or diagonal lines, Composition hardly seems to on• for so sample 11 sIlbjoet as today's Il1lustration, and yet it plays a vital part. Notice how the photographer has distributed the 'breathing space around the head. If the marginal space had been less, the head would have seemed to "pop out" of the snapshot. If more marginal space were used, the dramatic force gained by emphasizing the head to the greatest possible extent would have been, lost. Careful cropping can often make a poor snapshot much better. The same law of simplicity, so obvious here, can be applied to any other photographic problem. In group pictures, for instance, you can achieve simplicity by unifying the group around one center of in- terest. Proper simplicity of setting or background 'will again make it easier to emphasize the figures. Eliminate unessential, distracting details, and tie everything into your central subject. Then you'll have a good picture, packed with dramatic emphasis. Even in landscape photography, the same principle holds good. Try to compose your snapshots in sim- ple areas of foreground, middle its. Unice, and far distance, Distribute shadow and sunlight eo they make a compositional pattern, And don't forget the advantages of a medium yellow filter for dramatic cloud ef- fects, Space does not permit tall dieops- sion now of scenic photography, but Yee can't go wrong if yon follow the bast° rule, "Keep 11 van ieGuiider * * * PEOPLE a * * * Mrs. II.
