When the principallines of a subject are horizontal, don't forget to hold the camera hori- zontally.. Composition may be further improved by enlarging and trimming EgROM the standpoint of artistic composition the shape of a pic- ture makes a lot of difference. This statement may seem axiomatic but how often do we snapshooters give thought to it in using our cameras? We all know that most cameras are so constructed as to give us a choice between horizontal and ver- tical pictures, depending upon the position in which• we hold the cam- era, but in the business, of inking pictures there seems to be a,sort of psychology of laziness that makes us choose the way most convenient to our hands. With some cameras the vertical position 'seems easier, with others the horizontal, and to change to the other position scents to require an effort. '.Poo many .of us don't ..:make the effort, when we should. So; we go right on taking p•iclaares the easier way without bothering about the shape of them, when a lit- tle thought and little more than a twist of the wrist would make ale the difference between good and bad composition. Remember that the lines enclosing a picture are al- most as much a part of its composi- tion as the lines inside. Snapshot albums show all toe many pictures of vertical subjects, including persons in full length poses, with: a vast waste of margin, right and left, because they were taken with the camera in horizontal position. This is bad, because, for ane thing, the excess of margin di- minishes the importance of the sub- ject and for another, distracting ob- jects are usually present on one side or the other. That snapshot of Mother picking flowers in the gar- den is an excellent likeness, but why the corner of the garage on the left margin and clothes reel on the right? These ugly objects -would `. have been eliminated if the up -and - dawn view had been used. in the case of scenic pictures, a spreading landscape and such sub- jects as a dock of sheep or a herd of cattle almost always call for the horizontal position, but no less often does a picture. of a tree, a waterfall or a skyscraper demand the vertical. it is sintpy T snaking Imagine the waste of margin, ft this picture had been taken , with the camera horizontal. , wire that the lines which giver 'length to your subject parallel the., long edges of the flim, thus avoiding;;, an overbalance of margin above anr2o below or to the right and left, as the ease may be. So much for planning the shape of a picture before you take it, but r composition can be improved, in- deed often much improved, by shap- • ing the picture after you take it.,, There are two ways of doing it. You ,, may reduce the margins and, in. some cases, also cut out distracting;; objects by trimming the print; ori.. still more effectively, you may mask the negative so as to leave a se- lected portion and, from this Dor- tion, have an enlargement made, Thus, a vertical subject in a verti- cal panel that has cut out detail ora the sides becomes much more lin- pressive; its height and importance have been enhanced. Similarly, with a horizontal subject a horizontal panel will emphasize its "repose" ' . lines and accentuate its sweets. Most good pictorial work, such as finds a place in salons because of its artistic; excellence, is usually the combined result of choosing the • right camera position, masking the Mars and i., .::? ,r, , , t',,, print. nwr JOHN' VAIN (WILDER.
