with We1rd assortment OF gdugeCS.
Al Jungle of light stands, etc., may
have an adverse effect. 1t certain
ly affects most adults that way. So,
again, we urge using a camera
equipped with a flash-gun. 1t is a
simple arrangement without all the
frills and furbelows that seem to
be so necessary when using flood
equipment.
Since baby has a nice, round little
face you can even get by with only
one flash reflector. Added round
ness and depth can be secured If
you use a supplementary flash at
one side. If you have only the one
flash reflector place 1t at the camera
position, slightly above the baby so
as to light the top of the head and
hair. With two flashes you can
place the larger a bit to one side
at an angle higher than the head
and the other of more to the side
as a fill-in. Or you may use a
sheet or other piece of rejecting
material to substitute for the second
flash.
An assistant will prove invaluable
when you 60 to take baby's picture.
If you are using the press-type
Gamers and the baby Is In a fixed
position such as high chair you
should mount the camera on tri-
pod and secure a critical focus on
the ground glass. If you try to
guess at the footage you may be of
your estimate just enough to make
the image slightly fuzzy and this
condition will give you all kinds
of trouble If you want to enlarge
from the film.
+ Be Sure Camera Is Firmly Held.
Also be sure that the camera is
held tightly to the tripod so that
insertion of the film holders will not
move the position of the camera
even slightly. This is very impor-
tant because you will necessarily be
working fast and you won't have
time to check on the ground glass
before each exposure. The assistant
should have his pockets full of flash
bulbs and be ready, If necessary to
insert and remove the film holders.
pull and replace slides, etc., thus
leaving your full attention to the
job of taking the pictures and keep
ing the baby amused.
If you are using the reflex camera
you still will need the assistant to
replace flash bulbs and move the
Aim forward after each exposure,
If the camera is on the tripod.
If you are following the baby
around, letting him rove at will, you
will certainly need flash bulbs for
the operation. In this instance you
will have to refocus the camera con-
stantly as distances change from
camera to subject.
80 Minutes Is Enough.
Above all, be calm In your actions
as a baby will instantly sense any
nervousness on your part. AS in
surance it will be a good idea for
you to play with the baby for while
until he is thoroughly happy and
enjoying himself. Then get your
camera going and take your pictures
as fast as possible. A 30 minute
session is enough for the baby in
any one day and if you have to use
flashlights try to cut the time below
this estimate. If you don't get all
that you want in that time you can

Children are the worlds greatest
mimics so if you are not getting
expressions that you want, try max
ing faces at the youngster and he
will do the rest. But, since express
sions come and go almost instan-
taneously, you will have to be on
your toes and trip the shutter with
equal speed. Toys make good props
and keep the baby interested and
happy and will provide you with
pictures that are typical Of the
baby's activities. Don't forget the
shots of baby in the high chair with
his face literally smeared with food.
The only trouble with shooting
pictures of the baby is that you
don't know when to stop-it's
great indoor sport.
