spot uOQdy, ana you nave
not taken picture of those arches
yet?" demanded my companion i'm
patiently.
But" replied, this is the first
time that the light has been right to
get an effective picture Now we have
those long shadows"
AS photographer. l am only an
amateur, even though the number of
pictures l have taken during the last
seven years, would average in excess
of twenty day.
There is a joy in taking pictures
which is surpassed by few hobbies.
1t is creative. 1t provides record. If
lntelligently done, it is not expensive.
Since it is an individual art, there are
as many rules as there are photog-
raphers. Even the old fundamental
rule against shooting pictures into the
sun has been exploded. Some of the
most effective results l have ever had
or seen have been taken into the sun
- naturally, with the lens itself
shaded.
Making good pictures, however, is
like building skyscraper, or design
ing garden You must have a plan.
Do not just snap a picture. When you
have determined what you want, see
from what point it will be most appeal
ing. Try to ascertain where and when
the sun will give the most striking
effects.
Composition is important to the
great painter. the landscape architect
or the author of book. And it is the
most vital factor in good photography.
Do not attempt to take in the entire
landscape. Choose your focal point.
Make the details stand out. Get dis
tinct profiles. Watch for contrasts in
light and shade. Do not underestimate
the importance of background =
clouds, trees, spires. Try for simplicity.
Nature never overdoes.
Most successful pictures are made
from low position - on your knees.
or squatting on your heels. You are

then on a level with most of the
material IN your composition, and
frequently below your focal point.
This allows increased possibilities for
contrast. for sharp profles, for high
lights, for shadows.
The camera one uses is not too
important. A great national COM
petition year or so ago was won by a
snapshot from an ordinary box camera.
For the serious amateur a SIS lens is
amply satisfactory. The modern ex-
posure meter has eliminated all guess
work IN regard to lens stop and length
of exposure
For the balance, it is a matter of
experience - trial and error. Excel
lent photography can be assured by
keeping record of each exposure. AS
you compare various results, you will
determine how to get the most effec-
tive pictures.

is the result of study and trial during
two days. This particular picture was
taken on my knees from below the
statue at about two o'clock in the
afternoon. The sun was shining brightly
on the bronze, thus producing the
highlights. The lens was f3.5, opened
to i'll, for one-twenty-fifth of
second.
The Snopshoofss Asks:
Question: My negatives are mottled.
What is the cause? (C.H.D)
Answer: Notified negatives may
result if the paper backing of the film
takes up moisture and transmits it to
the film before development. This is
more likely to occur in tropical coun-
tries when the humidity is high. A
mottled effect may also result from in
sufficient agitation of the films in the
developer, or from the use of a devel-
oper containing considerable sediment.

Mr.. Chips Meets q Sinner

Il once explored some caves in Scot
land. 1t was easy enough. 1t was
Father who made all the fuss about it,"
"Oh?"
Just because the tide came up and
had to sit on ledge all night and
wait for it to 60 down again. But
didn't find any gems.
ANY gems? What do you mean?"
well, it said in the poem, you
know - Full many gem of purest
ray serene the dark unfathomed caves
of ocean bear But | didn't find
any,"
Toward d-September, as the be-
ginning of term at Brookfeld ap-
preached, Chips began to feel the
familiar willingness to be back at
work. His strenuous month of walking
and climbing had made him feel i'm
mensely fit for his years; even Rem
shaw's conversations couldn't spoil
such holiday, despite their tendency
to become less restrained and more
repetitive. They dealt largely with the
trials and tribulations of family and
business life; Renshaw had not been
happy man, nor - quite evidently -
had he possessed the knack of making
others happy. 1t seemed that he had
lost great deal of money owing to
the War. He couldn't forget it, and
Chips, for whom money meant little
and for whom the War (then in its
third year, was continuing night
mare, was scarcely interested to hear
in great detail how certain properties
of his in Germany had been con-
hscated. There never was anything
like it," said Renshaw, mournfully
philosophizing "And I'd put so much
into them. That's what the War
does"
Chips could have told him of other
and perhaps worse things that the War
did. but he refrained.
And it's nearly as bad over here,
Chipping, the way the export trades
going to pieces" Renshaw continued.
I'm in cotton, and know" And he
added, putting the direct question:
What are you in?"
I'm in clover" answered Chips,
almost to himself.
Renshaw looked puzzled. What's
that? - oh, I see i suppose you
mean you sold out in time and can sit
back on the profits? = Lucky fellow
Il wish had"
"Yes. l think I've been pretty
lucky" agreed Chips, leading the
conversation gently astray.
There came the last evening Both
Chips and the Renshaws were to leave
the following morning - in different
directions, Chips was not sorry to
realize. AS kindly gesture towards
someone whom he did not definitely
dislike, Though he was aware that
they had little in common), he agreed
to visit Renshaw's room after dinner
for final drink and chat. He did this
dutifully, listening in patience to the
mans renewed plants against the
state of trade and affairs in general.
