PROPER EXPOSURE
Brilliantly lighted beach subjects, with no harsh shadows, take less
exposure. For thls, 1/25 at f,16 (or the large lens opening on a box camera).
If subject faces sun, or for a "long -shot" beach view, use f.22 or the small
lens opening on a box camera),
'e /eANY writers make a groat to-do
IVs about exposure, so that it seems
complicated. As a matter of fact, for
most ordinary subjects out of doors,
itis shnple.
Light in very early morning or
late afternoon is quite weak, but
from an hour or so after sunrise to
about an hour before sunset, it is
fairly constant in its intensity, Dur-
ing the middle daylight hours, cam-
era loaded with chrome typo or
"pan" type film, set your lens and
shutter as follows:
BRILLIANT DAY
Average subject, 1/25 second and
2.11 lens opening.
Open landscape, 1/25, 0.16.
Water or beach scenes, 1/26, 0,22.
CLOUDY BRIGHT DAY
Averago subject, 1/26, f,8,
Open landscape, 1/26, 1,11.
Water or beach scenes, 1/26, 1,16.
DULL DAY
ArteraR0 subioot, 1420, 2,0,0.
Open landscape, 1/25, 1,5.
Water or beach scones, 1/25, LS.
When you must use a high shutter
speed, use a larger lens opening. Re-
member that 1/25 second at f,11 is
the sante as 1/50 at 1.8, and about
the same as 1/100 at f,6,8 or 1/200
at 1,4,5.
Follow those exposures this spring
and summer, and Yctt won't go
wrong. If you use a box camera, take
snapshots on bright days only. On
a dull day, place the box camera on
a firm support and give 0 very short
time exposure (ono-lutlf to ono see.
oncl, or about as fast as you can
work the shutter when on "Tinge")

With any camera, when you are
taking pictures shortly after sunrise
or before sunset, you must use a
larger lens opening, 05 a slower
shutter speed. At. such times, light

the end of April almost 50 per cent
of the :intended acreage of spring
grains had 1beeu seeded in the
province, In the more southerly
counties, of course, the work was
much .more advanced than in East-
ern and Northern Ontario where
cpel'auions only got under way the
first of May. In southern Ontario
