MAKING BETTER USE OF LIGHT
9t combination of back and top lighting is principally responsible for
the fine pictorial effect of this snapshot. Keep an eye on the direction of
the light, and you'll be able to produce equally effective results.
AMONG- the Credamental tools of
3- all photographers, light holds an
unequaled position. But most of us
crake the sun, and flash or flood
Vamps, almost for granted. We do
met stop to realize how much the
'direction of light means to a pic-
taire.
7t you watch carefully you'll see
that in most instances light strikes
Weir subjects from one of three
oearjor directions—front, side, or
back. Outdoors those forms of i1-
Semination are normally tempered
ibp a touch of top lighting, but each
st those types produces a definite
sfeet. Remember that, and you'll
cord that you can use light to con-
trol the quality and mood of your
snapshots.
Front, or flat lighting, which is
elle kind you get when the sun is
behind the camera, is, for instance,
rather routine and ordinary in ef-
deet. 0 does not reeult in too attrac•
'.hive black -mid -white prints, but it
x111 give you perfectly acceptable
eceord pictures, Pictor'ially the
light 10 too low in contrast to give
the most pleasing effect,
Side lighting Is probably much
better suited to general purpose
photography. It almost invariably
provides a pleasant balance of
highlights and shadows; it helps to
achieve a third dimensional effect
in your pictures; it emphasizes tex-
tures; - and it provides the 'basic
contrast necessary to brilliant pic-
tures. Use it often.
'The third division is back light-
ing—the kind that exists when the
sun is shining directly at the cam-
era, With backlighting you'll get
the type of effect found in our illus-
tration, but in this ease a reflector
was also 'used to brighten the side
oS the subject nearest the camera.'
It's just the thing too for making
outdoor silhouette, or semi - siI-
houette, pictures. It's good for land-
scape studies, And, if you use a re-
flector to brighten the shadow side
of your subjects, it's a highly ef-
fective lighting for portraiture.
There's lust one thing to watch out
for; don't let the •sun ehine direct-
ly into the camera lens, Use a lens
hood 'or shade your -camera with
your hand. -
Watch the light, and You'll be
able to see' Your picture quality
shove steadily Upwards.

Mis-Use of Cans
Brings Fines
In recent wealra a number of farm-
ers in various parts ee Ontario have
been prosecuted for using cream can
for other purposes than the delivery
of vull3k or cream to the owners of
the cans. This has become an of-
fence undee the War Measures Act,
and the magistrates of the provinces
live not hesitated to impose fines in
oases weaning before them.
At God:etch last week four fame
ens were fined $10 and costs each for
using cream cane to ship milk to a lo-
cal cheese factory. At Bellville - a
farmer Was fined $10 and costs for
patting gasol'in'e fin, a can, At Bramp-
ton recently two farmers were also i
covieteil of offemlce, aglainist the Act.
A cheese, factory is facing proseme
bion this weep at Listowel.
'Since it itis an offence 10 put any-
thing but milk or °ream into one of ! r
these cans, and also en offence to re-
tain one cf the cans he their possess -
torte all 'holders of slush cans not our-
rently in use should hand them to a
keel cream truck, and they will be
delivered to the 'owners.
Other' iso, prosecution is always a

EAT'S what everyone has to do these days
I'H—manufacturers, dealers and consumers.
Because of the reduction of materials available
for the manufacture of Duro Pumping Systems,
our many dealers have been requested to place the
few new Duro Pumps we can allot each one with
prospective purchasers whose war -time farm pro-
duction can be materially increased by having
running water.
These dealers, because we cannot supply as
many new. Duro Pumps as they can sell, will be
anxious to •keep every Duro Pump in their terri-
tory in good running order, so that it will give
maximum uninterrupted service.
The Duro dealer in your
vicinity will be glad to service
and replace 'worn parts in
your Duro Pump. Have it
checked now to insure a con-
' tinuation of the satisfactory
service to which you are ac-
customed.
The Duro Special shown
opposite pumps 250 gallons
per hour and has a 25 gaiter
galvanized tank.
