CREATING PICTURE CHANCES '
A "created" picture—the photographer spilled the milk, and the kitten did
•the rest. Develop natural situations to get more Interesting shots.
IT'S tun to look for picture oppor-
tunities — but it's more fun to
create them. And many of the finest
picture chances are created deliber-
ately by the photographer.
If you wait for things to arrange
themselves for a picture, you're just
trusting to luck, and you may have
a long wait. But 1f you take a few
steps to create a situation, you'll
find it easier to get just the picture
you want—when you want it.
For example, look at the picture
above. Is there any point in waiting
for such a situation to occur tater-
ally? Not a bit. It's much simpler to
spill the 'milk right where you want
it—place the kitten where you wish
—and shoot. A lcitten knows what to
do when he's face to face with mills.
There are many such occaslons
where a Little arrangement is a big
help. Use a bait to tempt a pet to the
best, spot for a picture. Give the
baby an amrtsing toy—or place an
automatic music -box beside him—
and he'll pose, completely unaware
of the camera. Provide some action
for en older child 10 carry out a
doll to dross, a book reread, a mode]
boat to work on. The action provides
n theme or story which improves the
picture,
In shooting outdoor scenes or
landscape pictures, try having a
friend stand in the foreground, look-
ing at the scone yoit plan to picture.
Such a figure adds foreground inter-
est, and directs attention to the
scene beyond. In picturing snow
scenes, tramp out a path leading into
the scene where it will help the core
position of the picture. Such devices
often add better pictorial quality
to your shots.
In taking action shots, don't trust
to chance. If possible, arrange 'with
your subject to have the desired ac-
tion take place at a chosen spot,
Then you eau focus in advance, and
be all ready to shoot, For example,
to get a good shot of a sled spill,
arrange for Johnny to dip his sled
over at a selected Spot neat the bot•
torn of the hill. This idea also works
for many other sports—summer and
winter.
Table -top photography is of
coarse outright creation—you build
the subject completely before shoot-
ing it. That's why "table -topping" is
so much fun—it allows plenty of
room forimagination and original.
