SUMMER picnics and outings are
fen—and the fun can last, if you
bring back a collection of snapshots
that really tells the story of the
day's activities.
Getting such snapshots isn't diffi-
cult when you keep your eyes open
for incidents and details that truly
explain the "what, where, and how"
of the picnic.
Don't bother with stiff, posed
group snapshots. Make "story" pic-
tures, Get a shot of someone coming
down the steps with a heavy picnic
hamper , .. putting it in the car . , ,
a picture through the windshield
showing the picnic grove as you ar-
rive. Snap a aeries of shots which
show the spreading of the cloth ...
the setting out of pickles, cake, and
sandwiches ... cutting the cake ...
"close-ups" of individuals munching
away . , . sports or games after lunch
, the girl friend getting her skirt
caught on a barbed-wire fence, If the
picnic lasts into the evening, take a
time exposure of the group gathered
around the campfire, singing or tell-
ing stories. They'll have to hold still
for this one, and the camera must be
firmly supported on a handy post or
table—but it's a worthwhile picture.
When you make a series of "story-
telling" snapshots along this line,
you have something that gives far
more satisfaction thin a few scat -
i
11
tared, random snapshots, And it's no
trouble, Most of the pictures you Can
capture when your subjects are "off-
guard"—not' even aware a picture
Is being taken. Other pictures may
require a little posing, but as long
as you make the picture show some
incident, something going on, it
won't have that stiff, "posey" look.
Try making a series of related,
estory-telling" snapshots on your
next picnic or holiday outing, You'll
quickly decide that's the way all
yotir pictures will be taken on such
occaeicn5 in the future.
