The point of view helped make this an outstanding picture.
FR13Q1JENTLY, if we analyze a
picture we find that it appeals to
us primarily because it presents a
new, fresh aspect of some familiar
object or scene. , -
Sometimes this new aspect results
from a novel effect of lighting, which
reveals or calls to our attention de-
tails we had not before observed.
In other cases, a novel or unex-
pected viewpoint serves the same
purpose. We are accustomed to see-
ing things from a certain angle--
and
ngle—and if your point of view is re-
versed
commonest objects tend to assume
new interest.
Therefore, it's really worthwhile
for any ok for
n w g
and Interesting erests viewpoier to nts. The
photographer who made our illus-
tration of the week did just that.
Another photographer we know
made a very unusual picture not so
long ago by placing his camera on
the floor and malting the exposure
while a group of fellows bent over
ft in football huddle fashion: And
if be wants to make a different type
of group picture.
Although it may be great fun to
matte such pictures, never forget
that unusual viewpoints and novel
lightings do not automatically pro-
duce fine pictures. Indeed if used -
unwisely they inay accomplish the
exact opposite. Bach picture you at-
tempt should be analyzed individu-
ally. One subject may demand a
normal viewpoint and conventional
lighting. The next may call for a
point of view and lighting which are
distinctly out of the ordinary. And
each should' be treated in the man-
ner that presents it to the best ad-
vantage. it's the
But generally speaking,
venturesome photographer—the one
willing to try new viewpoints and
ideas—who really tnaltes progress
and eventually produces outstanding
pictures. So don't be satisfied with
the first acceptable picture you can
produce. Look your subject over
carefully, and perhaps you can find
•
a fresh viewpoint 'which will make
a better picture.
