It is not at all suitable for active young people who work or play hard. I do not recommend it for any one under thirty.

nrHAS been said that IAN artistic
picture is an object beautifully
photographed" rather than "a
] beautiful object photographed.
That is essentially true. but regard
= less of the subject, the photographer
first must be able to see some beauty
in the object. Who but person with
such perception would think Of taking
a "worm's-eye" view of the bare limbs
of tree. with the pleasing and arts
tic result shown here2 This is beauti-
full object and it is beautifully photo
graphed too. Without the proper high
lighting and shadows resulting from
the position of the sun, the compost
ton and the filter-darkened sky. the
picture would lose much appeal.
For this snapshot the lens aperture
was set at f.8 and the shutter speed at
l/lOO of second. A light yellow filter
was used to darken the sky and bring
out tone qualities.
There is no rule for discovering
beauty nor for determining what IS
artistic. It's largely matter of ones
likes and dislikes. There are, however.
certain sound admonitions that must
be obeyed if you wish to make artistic
pictures.
First. provide every picture with
single, dominant idea. Exclude ele-
ments that distract attention from
the principal one.
Second. see that the setting IS IN
harmony with the principal subject.
Third, work for well-balanced COM
position in your view finder before
swapping the picture. Generally the
dominant subject should not be in the
center.
Fourth, study the light and shadow
area before taking the picture.
Fifth, allow ample exposure in order
to bring out desired details.
It's up to the snapshooter. If he
puts thought into his work, he can
get pictures that win admiration.
