PICTURING CHILDREN ,
Try to make your pictures of children closeup—like this picture of our
young•bathing beauty.
•
CHILDREN are an inexhaustible
L•1 source of good pictures. There's
natural charm 'and appeal in any
.child—asleep or awake, active or
• quiet. And, if you use your camera.
wisely, you can get all this appeal
into your pictures.
What makes a good child picture?
`'Well, usually a top-notch child • pic-
tura tells •a story—it' deals with
.'some natural interest or activity of
the child. It is clear and sharp. The
background behind the subject does
not detract from the main subject.
And there isno waste space at the
top, bottom, or sides.
Consider, for example, the child
picture shown here. The stdry is un-
mistakable. You couldn't ask for a
better pose or expression. Thede-
tails are sharp and clear. The plain
background is ideal. And the sub-
ject'ells the picture area splendidly.
That point of filling the picture
area is where most amateur photog-
raphers Rall down when it comes to
making pictures of children. The
trouble is that they stand too far
back from their subject, and then
' when the snapshot is made' the child
appears only as :c small part of ,the
general picture. The remedy for the
situation is to move in closer to the
subject before the picture is made.
Don't crowd an action subject :too
closely, however, but give R enough
space to suit the action or move-
ment happening or about to happen.
Of course, there are splendid pic-
ture opportunities which must be
caught on the wing—when there's
no time to maneuver for distance'
or perfect viewpoint—and you must
get the shat without waiting. But
once you've made the picture, you'll,
tlnd that it can generally be lin-
proved by enlarging and cropping
—during which all unessential sur-
roundings can be eliminated.
Here's ane last • tip. When you
snap pictures of your child give him
or her -something to do. Tell little
Jill you'f•e going to take pictures
showing how she dresses a doll. Let
Jack show how he repairs his toy
wagon, or puts on his roller skates.
Then the storytelling qualities .of.
your picture will be ready and wait-
ing, and you can concentrate all of
your attention on composing the
shot and handling the other techni••
calitiea.

der those conditions we would do

Quite often when a letter got to its
destination the person to whom it
was sent could not afford to pay for
their letter and consequently missed
the message contained there in. It
is said that a girl used to write to
her brother: She wanted to know how
he was and he just put a mark on it
and sent it back. In that way she
knew that he was well:
Rowland Hill invented the postage
stamp and the present system of
sending letters was' introduced in
England in 1840. Stamps were first
used in Canada in 1851.
