ADVICE TO THE BEGINNER
82
To assure clear, sharp pictures like
simple essentials
WITH 7ITH several hundred thousand
V V men and women in the Service
there must be thousands of cameras
left at home these people and now
available to an equal ntnnber of rel-
atives -and friends who never before
have taken snapshots. For the bene-
fit of those to whom photography is
new, here are some essentials of
snapshooting that should help in
getting better snapshots to send to
those who are away drotn home.
The first of these essentials 'is a
practical knowledge of how your
camera works. That doesn't mean
that you !should understand the op-
tical theories on which your Iens is
built, or how the shutter is con-
structed—but you should know how.
to operate your camera efficiently.
Many photographic mistakes could
he avoided if beginners would take
the time to practice focusing, hold-
ing •their cameras straight and steady
When clicking the ehntter, and to
become familiar -with exposure cal-
culations. •
Focusing, 01 course, its tremen-
dously important—but easy to learn.
Some box cameras, for instance,
and outer inexpensive types, don't
require focusing because they have
what is known as universal focus.
That means that any subject which
is, eight or more feet from the lens
will be in focus. So if you want to
get a "close-up" of your subject you
should always check the camera -to -
subject distance carefully because
if you get closer than your dons
equipinent permits, you won't get
sharp, clear pictures.
But, perhaps you have one of the
more recent types of box cameras
this one you should know the first
of picture taking.
•whieb have what is known as
vlded focus,' That isthekind with
which, by flipping a little lever, you
can focus your camera for. picture
taking either at five -to -ten feet or
for objects ten feet and :beyond,
With that type of eminent, just as
with the more expensive ,cameras,.
all you need do 18 measure or judge
the distance of your subject from
the camera, and set the focusing
lever accordingly. '
Another photographic essential is
correct exposure. With inexpensive
box and folding cameras having only
one shutter speed, that is well taken
care of as long as you take snap -
shote outdoors In the sun. But with
cameras which have a number of
shutter speeds and lens apertures to
choose from it legood picture -taking
insurance to have an inexpensive
exposure guide for determining' cor-
rect exposure.
Finally, among the essentials of
photography come the so-called
"little" points which mean better
pictures. For -instance, don't. jab ab
the shutter' release lever or button
of your camera when you takepic-
tures. Hold your camera steady and
gently squeeze Or push- the shutter
release. Then, too, you must hold
your camera level. If you can'tget
all of your subject in your view-
finder without tilting, move back
farther.
So here are your "essentials":
Focal carefully on your subject, ex- •
pose correctly, and hold your camera
still and level when you make an
exposure. Do this and you are ron
the road tobetter pictures.
