One of the most beautiful things
to hear is the song of the canary
He is a happy, cheerful little crea-
ture. and you can spend many hours
watching the antics of his active
little body. Once you have gained
his trust. he will become very tame.
AS a pet, he requires little daily
care, the expense is slight, and you
will get loads of pleasure from him
The canary has an interesting
history. An Italian sea captain was
sailing for Italy with boatload OF
these birds captured on the Canary
Islands, where the canary origin
ated. AS he entered the Mediter-
ranean, a dreadful storm arose, and
his ship began to sink. The kindly
sailors, before abandoning the
wrecked ship. set the tiny songsters
free, and the canaries few to an
island near Italy. From here they
were introduced into Europe as
Gagged pets, and people in the dis
trict Of the Hartz Mountains began
breeding them. Then they were
brought to the United States.
A metal cage is most desirable
from the standpoint OF sanitation,
and should have in it three percheS
in natural perching order, one water
cup, one seed cup, one treat cup,
and a piece of cuttlebone attached
to one side of the cage in easy reach
of one of the perches.
Do not hang the cage in a draft,
and keep the canary where 1t is
light. Keep the cage very clean.

Camera Angles
Careful Approaches to Color Photography

desirable for color photography as
1t Is with monochrome although
many photographers have q mis-
taken idea to the contrary. On the
other hand, you should avoid max
ing color shots of areas containing
deep shadows. This advice Is par
ticularly true when taking portraits
in color. Be sure that there is
shadow side to the face, but be
equally sure that the shadow side
Is Illuminated to the point where
plenty of detail Is visible in the
shadows-more 50 than in black and
white photography. indoors you
can control your flll-in light to
handle this situation. Outside you
will need, in bright or harsh SUM-
light, a reflector or a daylight flash
bulb. The best color portraits made
outdoors can be taken when the
sun is diffused somewhat by clouds.
If you use an exposure meter from
the start you will very probably
have little trouble in making good
exposure. If you shoot by guess
work don't forget that your color
film is several times slower than
black and white. After a few trials
you will rapidly discover that many
of the shots that were possible with
the fast monochrome film are out
of reach of the color medium-par-
ticularly where action is involved
With landscapes and other scenic
or still life shots you can, of course,
place the camera on tripod and
give much longer exposure under
adverse lighting conditions. Under
exposure will give itself away when
the film is examined and, found to
be lacking in detail in the shadows
and having a darkish overall lack
luster appearance. If you should 60
overheard the other way in an effort
to compensate for the sioWness of
the film, oyerexposure will result in
a light overall cast with lack of
details in the high light areas.
Harmony Is Necessary.
Another great difference between
color and monochrome photography
lies in the necessity for having per-
feet harmony in your color shots.
In monochrome it did not make too
much difference what colors were
used in a picture because they were
rendered in varying tones OF black,
white and gray. But with color,
you must be exceedingly careful to
avoid a clash of colors. In por-
traiture this is must. Ifyour sub
ject is dressed in red it will be per-
fectly all right to use blue back
ground-but never the reverse Keep
in mind the desirability of using re-
ceding colors as backgrounds and
advancing colors for the subject OF
object to be pictured. Otherwise,
the background will overwhelln the
subject by the very intensity OF its
color Stick to the complementary
colors and you can't very well 60
wrong. Red and green, yellow and
violet, and blue and orange can
serve as a basis for many color ar
rangements for your shots. OF
course, when taking pictures of land
scapes you won't have to be con-
cerned about color schemes as ma
ture has already taken care of that
for you.
Under average conditions, the best
hours for shooting color out of
doors are between 10 am. and 8
in the afternoon. Earlier or later
will find too many shadow areas for
good color work. Exceptions to this
rule are the sunrise and sunset shots
that you can make If you use a tri-
pod and a fairly fast lens.

Canary Makes Interesting Pet
And REQUIRES Little Attention

canary seed daily, and see that his
cup is always full
1t is interesting to discover what
variety of food the canary likes
| to eat. A slice Of apple, water cress,
lettuce that is not too cold from the
ice box, a few kernels Of sweet corn,
boiled rice, and many other treats
are appreciated by him. Always see
that he has gravel in his cage, as
this acts on his food as our teeth
act on ours.
