ROCHESTER. DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE -p, Sunday, February 20, 1955 Staring-into-Camera Problem Easy to Solve show you variations on this light placement, and you'll find a new excitement in discovering new effects be just varying tones of black on black. Too, there is too much contrast between the windows and the shadowed areas, and an exposure long enough to show shadow detail will often give halation around the lights. The surest method is to quit a little early some afternoon and take the camera and its tripod to the favored spot just after the sun has gone down. With either black and white or color, make a scries of shots at different exposures.

The less exposure will yield the night pictures and more gives the dusk effect. You will probably have difficulty in deciding which you like best, but make the set and see how interesting they are. AMERA TIPS. A heavy cord or a chain fastened to the camera and held taut under your foot will help to steady the camera during exposures that may be longer than your usual safe limit. XHOSE TOO BIG FLAKES.

Several readers have been bothered by too-big snowflakes near the camera when shooting winter scenes while the storm was still on. The best answer is a slower shutter speed that does not "stop" the movement of the near-by flakes. If the original exposure was 1100 second at f5.6, for example, try working at l25th at f11, or if the other movement in the picture area permits, l10th at f16. In the longer interval, the flake will almost certainly move enough to disappear from the picture. Incidentally, this is a good spot to note that a filter will make no( difference in such a situation.

For all our regular black and white shooting, the filter helps only when blue sky shows in the picture area, and then it only darkens the blue areas either in the sky or sky-lit shadows. that will place it about 45 degrees above the model's face and at that same angle with the line from face to camera. It should be about five feet from the face. Then place the second lamp on the opposite side of the face-camera line and at about the level of the lens. It should be twice as far from the model as the high one.

From there it is just a matter of suggesting the pose you and the model like best and shooting when you like what you see. Using one No, 1 and one No. 2 flood with the larger in the high, modeling position lets you have each at the same distance for just about the same results. A little practice will quickly OW FOR THE SKYLINE. This time of year when sunset comes before most of us hard workers can leave our offices is the best time to make shots of the city skyline at night.

If we make them at dusk nowadays, the lights are still on and yet there is a touch of light in the sky which both shortens our exposures and gives a bit of detail all through the picture.

The smarter cameraman uses few lights and, incidently, gets better results. Aside from using sunlight, the easiest way to good portraits is both for a whole series of excit ing pictures and the addition may be of any of several kinds.

One goes high above the subject and at perhaps 45 degrees from the line from subject to camera. The other is on the other side of the camera, farther from the model, and lower than the first.

With a little playing with I'- i f. balance the relative distance of each from the model you have a fine lighting that fits practi cally any pose you and the model prefer. 5.

Then add one of the others when you feel you have exhausted the possibili ties in just the two about 20 years from now by best guesses. things, and the smart photographer keeps them going. We all know that the staring-lnto-theamera picture is a poor picture, and we also know that it is sometimes difficult to keep the models from being too interested in the camera. The answer is easy: Give the model something of great interest and then shoot while that interest registers on the face.

In this shot there is the kind of interest center that strikes everyone. It has the boy-and-his-dog theme plus that of the maternal instinct. It is th kind of picture that arranges itself with the minimum of help from the photographer though, having tried many of the kind, I realize that the word "minimum" varies considerably. But the two youngsters are keenly interested in the dog. They are both looking at the same place and everything in the picture holds together and points up the same idea.

It is the kind of picture that can be built around a younger baby, a doll, or almost anything that explains in itself why the two models care about it, and their intent pose both makes a good composition and produces a high audience reaction.
