JUDGMENT IN EXPOSURE
With the generally dark tone of the suit, the dark background and the
lack of brilliant sunshine, this picture would require a slightly longer
than average exposure.
hand, are usually very light in color.
For instance a white sailboat with
clean white sails, or a pretty blonde
girl in a light dress, would both
qualify as truly "bright" subjects.
But surroundings must also be con-
sidered—so beach and snow scenes
are classed as bright subiects be-
cause they reflect so much sun-
light,
Finally, there are the "dark" sub-
jects --such as woodland scenes, and
pictures made of people while they
stand in the ehade of a house or
tree.
What it all comes down to is
this. There are three major types
of subject matter ... shaded (dark)
average . . . and bright. Give
shorter than normal exposure for
bright subjects; use normal ex-
posure in picturing average sub-
jects; and longer than normal ex-
posures for shaded subjects- -and
you'll be well on your 'way toward
improving the quality of your snap-
shots. 4o9 Jobe van Guilder
YEARS ago, when photography
was young, people began to look
for ways and means of taking the
guesswork out of exposure. Today
because of improved film latitude,
and handy inexpensive exposure
guides, that hope is almost a real-
ity; there is no longer any excuse
for improperly exposed pictures.
However, incorrect exposure is
still one of the most common faults
of amateur photographers, and the
main reason is that too many people
give the same exposure for every
snapshot—no matter what the sub-
ject. That 3s basically wrong, be-
cause really bright subjects need
less exposure than the average,
while shaded or dark aubjeots re-
quire more than average exposure.
The vast majority o4 subjects, of
course, come under the "average"
classification 'because they do not
contain a tremendous amount of
either very dark or very light col-
ors.

"It may interest Mr. Dewan to
