Holland The scene of the World Boy Scout cTheSNAPS410T CUL THE COLLEGE TRACK MEET Dramatic' action -and pictorial "value were both captured in these smartly taken ama- teur snapshots,' For the pole vault 'picture a K-1 filter was used to accentuate the plc- toriai ,value of the clouds. .4.7."' a OR pictures of highly dramatic and pictorial interest take your camera to a collage or athletic club track meet this spring. Here is shown desperate competition in speed, skill, strength and endurance with breathtaking finishes in foot races and thrilling efforts in jump- ing, offering a wide choice of mate- rial. Also, there is displayed for your lens •the youthful human body in the perfection of its muscular develop- nient. Any kind of camera can be used for certain "shots" at the meet, but those with high speed shutters nat- urally are best for the real action. Irr any case, for the fast action shots, the camera should be loaded with supersensitive film; and the shutter set at a speed that will catch the particular action being taken. Then consider light conditions and set the diaphragm opening in the lens con- sistent with light and shutter speed. The moat thrilling pictures at a track meet are tate finish of the 100 yard dash and the last jump of the 220 yard hurdles where frequently the Position of the runners is only a difference of inches. Here are top speed and supreme effort. But first get a picture of the start of a race. Of course, you can't get both the start and finish of the sane race, but the start of one of the preliminary heats will do. Get in position beside the track for an angle shot showing the row of contestants as they crouch at the stark. See that you have them all in the picture. Then watch for the starter to raise his gun. Fire at the same instant he does and you should catch them just rising to leave the mark. This is a picture that can be snapped with an ordinary camera if you -are not too.. near. Then try for pictures at the finish line. At close range a fast shutter speed is necessary, else a flying leg or arm is likely to be blurred. With the ordinary camera, set the shutter at its greatest speed and the lens at its widest opening, then talco a position 10 to 16 yards diagonally in. front of the line, and, depend upon an eniargemeut from part of the negative to show the ac- tion to good advantage. The faster your shatter the closer you may get. Most any action of which the human body is capable can be stopped at 1/600 second from any angle but it is better for such a picture as this to shoot at an angle wide enough to cover alL the foremost runners, be- cause it makes a more dramatic pic- ture. Much action can be stopped at slower speeds, even 1/100 or 1/60 - second, if the angle is right and you are far enough away. ' In taking pictures of jumps, re- • member that there is always an in- stant of pause at the highest point of the jump. If you time the snap for this instant, you can usually "freeze" the action even without an ultra -fast shutter. Another striking picture is an angle shot upward of a pole vaulter just as he clears the bar. If there are clouds against which his body will be outlined, it is worth while to clap on a sky filter before you shoot. Ss JOHN VAN GIIILDDR " Somebody .
