in the fact that it was all good, clean
fun to him.
Another point to keep in mind if
you attempt any shots of birds. snakes
or fish behind glass, is the reflection
problem. Most beginners, fascinated
by the exhibit, never see the glaring
reflections that the camera picks up.
So before making an exposure, look
carefully at the glass. not through it.
and you'll probably be surprised at the
reflections you see.
However, you'll find that there is
plenty of camera challenge" at the
ZOO, no matter what subject you
choose; and the problems involved
always add to the fun.

SHOOTING THEM
THROUGH BARS

photography. The best pictures of
confined animals give little or no in
dication that they are in cages or
pens, and it's right here that your in
genuity and patience can convert ZOO
work from matter-of-fact snapshoot-
ing to healthy sport. You've got to
select the proper viewpoint; you've
got to wait for the subject to get in
the right spot - and, believe me,
animals have their own ideas about
such things! In short, if you do decent
work, you've got zestful job cut
out for yourself, and it is anything
but child's play.
Amateurs frequently make one
mistake when they take these pic
lures. They forget that the shado,os
of bars cast across an animal by the
sun often print blacker than the ac-
tual bars themselves. You must watch
out for that
Another thing many snapshooters
forget is the fact that certain obstacles
like wire fences or screens can usually
be thrown so far out of focus that
they don't show in the picture. The
accompanying shot of the red fox, for
example, was made directly through
chicken-wire fence with a reflex cam
era that had lens on a long bed.
which made it impossible to push the
lens through an opening in the wire.
The fox was about fifteen feet back
from the fence, so the logical expe-
dent was to open up the lens as wide
as possible GAS in this case), press

In the British raid. which began

Informed sources said the British

at Ostend, Client. Brussels and
various points along the Belgian
coast. Details were lacking.
From the point of view of the

The threatening remarks of the

Bombs hit the Reichstag Parlia-

Arts and also damaged famous
Brandenburg Gate in Inter den

also that two hospitals were hit in
the center of the city. Authorities
said no military objective was dam
