Greater appeal was obtained in this picture by using a hayrake wheel
as a frame for the. subject. Watch for similar properties to transform
your snapshots into good pictorial studies.
IND a natural frame for your pie-
r ture subjects, and, as a rule,
you'll get more appealing and 'in
teresting snapshots. This is especial-
ly true when shooting a. landscape,
but can be very effectively used
when snapping pictures of people.
A "frame" may be a doorway, all
arch, or a branch 02 a tree framing
one side' and top of a scenic view.
This adds depth or third dimension
to a picture, aids in "holding it to-
gether," and often permits blocking
out undesirable objects. Itcan also
be used .to concentrate attention on
a subject which, without a frame,
might appear "lost" or too small.
Consider the picture above. By em-
ploying the wheel of a hayrake as
a "frame," what might have been

young lady has been transformed
into a novel, effective picture. The
wheel is naturally large and accen-
tuated because it is nearer to the
camera than the subject. Wherever'
your eye strikes the photograph, it
is immediately carried to her face,
.either by the spokes of the wheel
or by the Steel tire. In addition to
lending a dramatic touch, the wheel
also provides a medium for holding
the picture together.
Note that both the wheel and ,the
girl are in sharp focus. 'This was
accomplished by using a small lens
opening to get as much depth of
field as possible. A medium yellow
'filter, commonly called a "K-2," was
slipped over the lens, to render •the
sky in a medium tone of gray,
thereby .separating the light tones
of the clothing from the back-
ground,
