Belie Homemakers! Kettles are

delectable preserves and piquant
pickles which add interest to and
enliven: the plainer meals new neces-
sary. A ereo'nful of pickle adds
flavour and appetite -appeal even to
a piece of lett-over meat.
We use two o•r the most colourful
vegetables for pickling — beets and
cucumbers. And here's a hint that

For better animal
pictures, photograph your pets at their oWn
eye -level.
PICTURING pets is something
that I think every photographer
enjoys. Try it, and I know you'll
find fun and interest in shooting
them—with a camera, of course.
Here's what I suggest. First,
work alone with the animal; or, if
not alone, with just one assistant
at the moat. When you attempt
picture , snaking with too many
people around it may prove dis-
tracting to your subject.
Next, you'll soon learn that it
will make things easier' for you if
you place the entreat its such a posi-
tion that he can't move about too
much. For instance, if puppies and
kittens are placed on top of a box or
stool which is high enough so they
ale reluctant to jump down, you'll
find it's not so hard to catch them
in a cute or interesting pose.
Point three, in the technique of
animal photography, is to do your
picture making at the subject's eye -
level — as in our illustration. Ani-
mals viewed from above, even from
our own eye -level, do not often
make pleasing pictures. Usually
they appear too foreshortened. They
normally look much more natural,
when photographed from a low
point of view.
Fourth, keep your backgrounds
simple. Our illustration probably
would have been unproved some-
what if the area behind the subject
wasn't cluttered up with branches.
Outdoors there's no better backdrop
than the sky. Use it often.
Finally, I'd suggest that you use
a fairly high shutter speed -11100
second or higher is advisable—to
stop any unexpected niovemont ori
the part of your subject. If yotir
camera hasn't that fast a shutter,
you'll' still be able to make first
rate animal pictures if you do
your snapshooting during your pet's
quieter moments. Why not got out
your camera and try it today?
