SNAPSHOT GUIL
PICTURES EVERYBODY LIKES
The amateur who took this picture gave thought to It. Tho boys are hie
sons, but the appeal of the picture Is universal.
THE statisticians tell us that there
are now millions and millions of
camera owners—more than a mil-
lion right here in Canada alone --
but how many of them take pic-
tures that really qualify as pictures,
sneh as might be chosen to adorn the
walls of a home other than their
own, is a question.
Some judges of amateur snapshot
contests aver that scarcely one per.
son ie. a couple of thousand submits
pictures of genuine pictorial quality
or having the saving appeal of story-
telling human interest. Others say
that often moat of the pictures are
so good in these respects that they
have di lIcult7 in making decisions.
Perhaps the verdict depends as
much upon who the Judges are as
upon what the pictures are All of
them concede that from the stand-
point of photographic quality—cor-
rect exposure and proper focus—the
average of amateur photographs is
high. In that sense there is no doubt
that thousands of amateurs take
good pictures but with respect to
evoking general appeal, it must be
admitted that not all give evidence
of attention to artistic composition,
thought in the choice of subject, or
care for :the right moment to snap
the shutter. The result is pictures
+hat are commonplace in their appeal
to others, Usually such pictures are
personal to the picture taker, such
as a close-up of a beloved infant
with no qualities to distinguish it
from amoebas of a thousand other
babies.
'I'o win snapshot prizes, camera.
users need to take pains to plan
their pictures or at least exercise
judgment 10 seleettng a viewpoint
that will give the best composition.
Haphazard shooting rarely brings
really good pictures. Unless experi-
ence has proved it, amateur picture
takers should not assume that they
possess a natural picture sense.
They would do well to study exam-
ples of artistic photographs con•
starltly published in magazines,
newspapers and books, go to photo-
graphic exhibits, and learn what it
takes to make a good picture.
Can it be that the majority of
amateur picture takers are quite con-
tent with their pictures considering
the fun they get in, taking them and
their value as records of good times
or likenesses of relatives and
friends? Certainly many do get vast
enjoyment in carrying their snap-
shots around with them in wallets
and handbags and exhibiting them to
those in the circle of their acquaint-
ance. They think their pictures are
pretty good, and, as per8onal pic-
tures, they certainly are.
Whether or not a camera user is
interested in snapshot contests, he
turn get all the pleasure the painter
gets in his work to create pictures
that will be admired by everybody' if
he will venture beyond the field of
psrsonel interest and try to make
pictures of general appoal. This
