Reflectors for Flash Bulbs
Designed for Varied Use
Tlash bulb refiectors, IKE cameras

Flash bulb reflectors, Ike cameras,
should b selected according to their
planned use. Tor instance, II q
reflector is more conical than spher-
ical In shape, 1t VIII concentrate
more light IN the middle position Of
the area to b covered. This type
Of reflector should b avoided by
the photographer who wishes to ap-
proximate floodlighting with his
flash gln.
The spherical reflector Is designed
to furnish the floodlight illumina-
ton that most photographers want.
To obtain the most effective results
the cameraman should consider sew
eral factors in the function Of the
reflector.
Since the direction Of the reflected
rays is determined by the position
Of the bulb in the reflector, the light
producing area of the bulb should
be centered with the parabolic
curve. This will direct the light
rays straight ahead.
Secondly, renectors are designed
to accommodate Hash bulbs Of GER
tain dimensions. II you use = Diff
ferent size the loss Of efficiency will
be in proportion to the ratio Of diff
ference.
Third, the eveness OF flash lighting
will depend on the distance Of the
flash bulb from the center Of the
reflector. As an example, should
you notice ''hot spot" on q fash
lighted negative, 1t is probably the
result Of the bulb being too far for

Girl Scouts Enjoy
Weekend Visit to
Camp lockwood
Prize Contribution
By Borburo McKenno, Ia
fairfax lNa.l HIGH School

What Girl Scout troop in OF
around Cabin John hasn't spent a
day or so at Camp lockwood? Given
to the Girl Scouts by wealthy
couple who saw the need for such
camp, this lovely mansion and
surrounding wooded acres Is a IA
vorite spot of Girl Scouts in Mary
land and Virginia.
! NY Senior Scout Troop 80 of An
nandale, Va, recently experienced
the thrill of camping there for q
week end. Besides our two chap
erons, there we're eight of us. Mother
Nature co-operated with us for q
perfect week end by making the
days cool and sunny.
We stayed in the manor house
or main part of the mansion. But
there is a wing called Carolyn
Cottage" which also is used. adj
rondack shacks" and tent sites are
used in the summer.
We took turns cooking the meals
and doing the tx. p" Aside from
burning several chocolate dishes, we
we're proud of most of our cooking
and it should prove to be Of value
when we become homemakers.
A hike to the Maryland side OF
Great Falls and exploring the paths
among the rocks and along the c. &
o. Canal were great fun. One small
snake added a spark of excitement
to our hike.
On Sunday morning we had a
quiet service in wildwood Chapel,
a beautiful little glen by a creek.
That afternoon we regretfully drove
out of the gate of Camp lockwood
and looked forward to another trip

Anacostia Student
Tells of Occupation
Life in Germany
Prize Contribution
By Joan Duke, IS
Anoeostio High School

Contrary to what some people In
our country think, there are many
Americans in the occupation Of Ger
many, teen-agers as well as adults.
These are the people who have
fathers or husbands in the armed
forces stationed in Germany. They
10 over as dependents, as my mother
and I did.
The first step in preparing to join
Father in Germany was the shots
We were required to take for the
prevention of disease. Then, after
We got our orders, we boarded a
ship. After hard voyage, we finally
arrived at Bremerhaven, Germany,
and. then Travelled by train to the
city where Dad was stationed. The
house assigned to him for the care
Of his family was German home
which had been taken over by the
Americans.
After getting settled, our next
worry was about satisfactory school
for me to attend. AS it turned. out,
I had to ride a bus 10 miles to a
high school, since there were only
fve for Americans in Germany. I
was relieved to learn there were some
other American students who had
to ride the same bus.
When I got to school I met the
teachers. They were all Americans,
except maybe the teachers Of Ger
man. I found them just like the
teachers at home, and the students
seemed friendly, which made me
really like it.
About the incest thing found
IN the European theater OF occupa-
hon was the tours on which saw
Europe. The most famous ones are
the Swiss-Rome tour, the Paris
London tour and the one to Czecho-
slovakia.
Over the week ends we visited
various cities in Germany and saw
some famous resorts. such as Gam
isch and Berchtesgarten. All in ALL
I came back with an understanding
Of the German people and knowl-
edge Of Europe, even though I did
get homesick.

Camera Angles
Photo by the Smithsonian.

it will be a good idea TO make q
few test prints to determine just
where 1t may be necessary to hold
back or print in certain areas.
As for subject matter, almost
anything ranging from an old fence,
rutty country road. the winding
bank Of an ice-bordered stream to
a pile of snow covered cans will
serve. Night scenes made by either
the light of the moon or by street
lamp can be particularly effective.
With the fast films Of today pic
lures Of night snow scenes can be
made in a very short time. A tripod
or firm rest for the camera Is
essential when making = time ex-
posure.
Look forward to the next snow.
And when it comes don't shudder

sun, is in the morning or late after
noon. During these hours the
necessary shadow detail can be
found. When the sun Is high an
overall glare will produce the un-
satisfactory results mentioned pre-
viously. Sunless days with their
weak, diffuse light also present the
problem OF blank highlights and
blank shadows in the vicinity of
dark objects-a poor combination at
best.
On dull days work for composition
of masses, soft tonal gradatlons and
the expression Of mood and mystery
that the haze and diffusion of the
day will suggest. Some fine low
key prints have turned up at the
salons as a result of the photog-
rapher making the best of what
otherwise might have been consid-
cred bad day for snow photog-
raphy.
Should you be attempting your
first snow pictures and you are un-
certain about the exposure, try sew
eral shots at varying exposures,
both greater and smaller than your
best estimate, and be sure to keep
track Of the exposure data on each.
This will insure one or two good
pictures and give you a basis for
better results next time. It is
definitely better to err on the side
Of underexposure. In snow photog-
raphy If you are in doubt. Always
keep in mind that overexposure of
snow will result in very fiat mega
tive that cannot be corrected in
or printing.
Equally important, the develop
ment and printing angles Of snow
photography need special attention.
In developing and printing your
film the greatest pains should be
taken to reproduce faithfully the
delicate halftones that should be
in the negative. Emulsion scratches
should be carefully avoided as these
will result in black lines across the
snow and, If you are not familiar
with retouching, will ruin the print.
It is suggested that the film be de-
veloped in fine grain solution as
the success of the picture will de-
pend in a large degree upon fine
detail and the absence of grain.
This advice holds particularly true
for those who use 35-mm. camera.
Since a good snow negative will
have such wide range of tones

When winter cold comes to the
Warrington area, the casual camera
fan may be inclined to turn his
attention to indoor pursuits. But
the real camera fiend and other
more rugged members Of the frat
ernity will be out in the snow and
ice with their shutters chattering
in cadence with their teeth. With
the coming snow, the old scenery in
the nearby park, the backyard fence
and the other common, every day
subjects all take on new and mys-
terious shapes. They are waiting to
provide some of the best and most
interesting subject matter Of the
year.
The key to successful snow photog-
raphy lies primarily in an under
standing Of the lighting principles
involved. They are different from
those encountered in every day
photography and their proper appli-
cation marks the difference between
success and failure at the moment
of exposure. The over-the-shoulder
lighting that works so well under
ordinary circumstances should be
avoided like the plague. This type
Of lighting in a snow scene will
result in q negative that is nat, with
an expanse Of monotonous white
and little or none Of the fine grada-
tions OF tone that are the making
Of snow pictures.
You should remember that the
absence of color in snow scenes
places the entire burden Of obtain
ing good rendition of the full range
Of half tones Of the scale upon the
photographer. The blacks and
whites are easy to get, but the del
icate shadows that will give your
negative just the right texture re-
quire careful consideration Of light
ing. nusa sft "Tt - Faars
Use Cross Lighting.
The desired effect is easily OBJ
tanned by shooting the scene with
the sun at either side Of the camera
or directly facing the lens. In this
way you will have a cross lighting or
a back lighting that will pick out
the fine texture of the snow. How
ever, care should be taken to pre-
vent any direct sun rays from
striking your lens. Use sun shade
If you have one or, If not, your hat
or some other object can be used
to shade the lens. Glare from ice
or snow may be controlled in the
same way.
It will also be found helpful to
use q medium yellow Alter. This,
while calling for a somewhat in
creased exposure, will reduce the
reflection of sun on snow and aid in
highlight rendition and, at the same
time, help in securing the proper
amount of detail in the shadows. II
YOU do not have a filter or If you
use q box camera, q piece Of yellow
cellophane will do the trick.
