SOFTEN THOSE SHADOWS!
R
No harsh shadows on the faces in this picture! The paper makes an excel-
lent reflector, allows subjects to face AWAY from the sun, not squint
INTO !t! Try it and see! ,
WHEN one advises, "Use a re-
flector to soften and lighten
shadows," most snapshooters think,
"Oh, that is too complicated - too
much' trouble."
.As a matter of fact, any white or
light-colored surface can serve as a
reflector, to make shadows soft and
fall of detail. For instance, look at a
Irian reading a newspaper.The news-
paper catches light and reflects it
into his -face - it is a very good
shadow illuminator.
'A white spring or summer dress
Catches light and reflects it to the
subject's face, and under her chin.
.A broad white hat brim catches,
light from the dress, and reflects
it to the subject's forehead.
A white building (see diagram)
can be used as a reflector to lighten
the shadow side of the person you
are picturing. A white picnic cloth,
spread in the sun, reflects enough
light to soften shadows in the faces
of all the group around it.
Whenever you are taking pictures
of people, especially in eunliglrt,
make sure that the shadows are
softened in some fashion. Black
shadows under the, subject's eye-
brows and nose ruin a picture. Use
any pont of reflecting surface - a
white cardboard, white cloth, news-
paper, the wall of a white house -
anything handy that will reflect
light. It takes only a moment to ar-
range subject or reflector properly
1 -and the pioture will be immensely
improved.

On his way home -it had just

over to the gate of the Candless Fur
niture Company to learn why a crowd
of workmen were gathered there.
Haranguing the crowd . he saw a
sharp featured man, with a kindly
eye. The man appeared to be hav-
ing little success ,in his oratory.
"Step forward, gentlemen -I want
you to witness closely that I actually
deposit the dollar bill" (he held it
up daintily for all to see) "in the
handkerchief; fold it so, and place
it just here."
The humorously featured pitchman
whom Sam liked instantly, cleared
his throat. "Now, gentlenl sn, this
box contains a remarkable substance
-a product so unique as to never
yet have been proved inefficatious
in the removal of any stain -any
stain, I . said, gentlemen, whether
that stain be on a person or apparel."
Sam liked the pitchman's command
of the King's English, and eased in
closer. But the crowd held back sus-
piciously. The demonstration of an
iodine stain being removed from a
cambric handkerchief seemed dest-
ined to prove unprofitable.
The pitchman's eyes were on Sam,
with his parcel of meat. Some flash
of understanding passed between
them. "Gentlemen," he urged, "Npt
a dollar do I ask you for this am-
azing stain remover that should be
on 'every kitchen shelf; no, nor even
seventy-five cents, not even fifty
cents, but -step a little closer,
gentlemen, don't be afraid; that's it;
right up close; -nor thirty-five cents

"How much," Sam asked. •
"Twenty-five cents; • the quarter

"I'll- take one," Sam said, extend-
ing a quarter.
