This was not pl •tc prephed in the wilderness but on a table top in the
home of an amateur photographer. The "lake" is a ,mirror.
65 ALMOST every motion pic-
ture goer knows, 1:•e Hollywood
studios are contirieeny Doting us
these days with ceeaes photo-
graphed in miniature, such os a vii-
Iage street, a castle in Spain, a.
rural winter snow scene, a ship at
sea, an airplane wreck alai what not
else. So cleverly are these; miniature
"sets" designed and photographed
that in the picture their lack of re-
ality defies detection, aancd where we
are let in en the secret, we do not
mind at all. Indeed we admire the
achievement.
Have you ..ever tried creating
miniature scenes yourself and
photographing them with your
own .amore•? It's fun. Depending
upon your skill, artistic ability anti
the materials you employ, you may
construct acid photograph miniature
sets in your own home that will
rival the semblance' of reality
achieved .111 ,,Hollywood; or, if you
prefer, you May create scenes cif,
fantasy, comedy or burlesque to
compare with a "shot" in an animat-
ed cartoon..
For a "still" camera, this is really
nothing else than table -top photo;,
raphy, such as has long • been Tune -
flood by amateurs, but 'Which now
3s pliotograpbieally ranch easier for
the ancatettr than it.: used to be, he -
rause of the recent introduction for
horrie use of more'llower•ful heti ficial
lighting. At least, for table -top pho-
tegraplty you can very cheaply with
two or three of these brighter hoam
flood, light hull% rival the lighting
equipment of Iiollywood studios,
and, :what is more, do good work
with an inexpensive fisted -focus cam-
era, provided yon use a portrait et-
