Pictam made Waft aifl., and after 4pm., there. fore could be expected to he "out of balance," with colors inaccurate. It didn't take long, bowel/s er, for photographers to dis- cover that the "excessively warm" colors of pictures made at sunrise and sunset, while perhaps not accqrate, were still even more beautiful for viewers because they seemed to intensify the reds and yellows seen at this time of day. There are times when ac - cerate color is important if anyone can agree on what that means, since most of us see color slightly different. And it is here that "color temperature meters" and filters for bringing light reaching the film in balance with that film is necessary. But these are usually tools of the specialist with little or no practical value in photogra- phy for fun. So, photographers have discovered that even color behaves remarkably° well when the rules are broken. Blue flash bulbs and -or elec- tronic flash produce light that is dose enough to daylight that both inside and outside pictures may be taken by the same daylight transparency film.

Of course, if the camera is loaded with daylight color negative film the photogra- pher has an even better chance to produce ."natural" looking color — May even change a near muddy-leOldng autumn scene in which the reds are fading, into brilliant and attractive yellow leaves against a blue sky by doing his own color printing. While it is logical to use "tungsten" color film for such things as campfires and night street scenes photogra- phers have sometimes founds that such color pictures may actually be "too natural" and thus lessacceptable to view-' ers than pictures made with daylight film Le replace dreary night blues with, warm reds.
