Picture-taking today is easier than ever before with the widespread popularity of nonadjustable cameras, both regular and pocket size. But all cameras, from the simplest nonadjustable model! to the most sophisti- cated SLR with numerous cessories, need one addi- tional element essential to good photography. This is the accessory you supply yourself — your own crea- tive imagination. The camera itself sees no. difference between the little 3 girl just standing and the little girl peering charmingly through: a wrought iron fence: It simply photographs whatever it’ sees, without selectivity or discrimination. Where, and how and at what angle you aim it are - choices for you to make. An automatic camera will adjust to the lighting condi- tions, but the composition or content of the scone is up Par to you. It is not. enough, there- fore, to learn what your camera can do, necessary as this is. You must, in addi- tion, educate your. percep- + tion so that you can use your camera effectively. Begin ‘by looking around with awareness. Look at your everyday surroundings as though you were a visitor seeing them for the first time. Notice the details of your neighborhood. Observe.the changes that occur as the sun moves through the day. When are the shadows most interest- . ing? When does the angle of . light cast details into sharp relief? Learn to look at the whole scene, including the background. The camera Will see it, and record it, whether or not your eye sees beyond your subject. If the background is cluttered or distracting, change your angle until you see a back- ground to your liking. Expand your awareness beyond the sunny days. Fog, mist, rain can all be utilized to create mood pic- tures of great beauty. When outlines are softened and colors are muted, the result- ing photographs are, or can be, low-key works of art. With the new Kodacolor 400 film in any of the new Kodak Ektra cameras, you have a widened range of light level in which to work. There’s no need to stay outdoors, either. Put a bouquet of chrysanthemums in a sunny window and record their brilliance. Or, looking further, notice the unbelievable relaxation of the family “cat who has fallen asleep draped artist- ically over a chair, or the way ‘an.arrangement of roses gleaming silver bowl bright- ens a rainy afternoon.
