Here is winter again and a world
mantled in white 1t is challenge that
must be accepted thoughtfully, for
winter photography is rather exacting.
Over-exposure burns up the delicate.
appealing texture of the snow, reduc-
ing it to blank white in the print Un-
der-exposure dulls the snow to a
muddy gray and again its character is
lost. In an open scene, with broad ex-
panses of snow in sunlight, it is seldom
possible to give more exposure than
1/5O second at + III with films of aver
age speed. As the sun declines, this
exposure can be increased to $50 at
T 8 and in late afternoon $50 or l. /25
at + 6.3 is practical.
A filter should be used on almost all
snow pictures, particularly if shadows
on the snow are important to the COM
position. These shadows tend to be
transparent and have faded look if
noflteris used. A yellow filter strength
ems them and an orange yellow or red
filter will give even more contrast
Snow pictures taken against the
light" often have extraordinary charm
- for example, woodland scenes,
where tall. straight tree trunks can
be made to throw long shadows to-
ward the camera. Pictures of ice
skaters, shot against the light, will
sometimes show not only the sill
houetted figures and their shadows.
but also reflected silhouettes. Good
skating pictures can also be snapped

full in form and foliage as the Virginia
cowslip, and once you have seen whole
meadows Capeted with this dainty
flower, you long to have all the splashes
of blue you can get in your garden.
In the Ohio Valley, where the alluvail
soil brings out the best in these Spring
flowers, you may see whole fields of
them.
Think of having such displays in
stead of the weeds we permit to take
possession of our roadsides, fields,
meadows and gardens!
At first the buds are of a deep
pinkLh hue, then purplish, finally
fading to light blue. They are about
l inch in length, with a funnel-like
form. They hang on slender stems
in snowy loose clusters, the main stem
of the plant being from l to 2 feet
high.
The entire leaves are quite large,
growing alternately along the stout
stem. The upper ones are seated on
the stem. In the beginning these
leaves are a deep dark purple, fading
TO bluish-gray. Both flower and leaves
blend in color harmony that is very
beautiful.
The seeds are interesting, too.
When they are ripe, they are very
wrinkled there are four little nuts.
Gather a few of these leathery-look-
ing little seed children, plant them
in some low, moist spot in your gar
den, and watch for their coming next
