This is absolutely untrue. Pictures
are judged strictly on their photo
graphic merits and tiny contact
print has just as much chance to
win as an 8x10 enlargement, if it
has what it takes to make a win
ming photograph. AS a matter of
fact the $40 winner of the first
week of the contest was one of
the smallest snapshots to be en-
tered. This was the picture en-
titled. so Tired" by Mrs. Mary
M. Mitchell of Mclean, Va.
On the whole, Washington S
camera fans are to be congratu-
lated for their superior brand of
photography. 1t is greatly i'm
proved over last year and the
judges are having a tough Job

est" or, in other words, there were
several pictures in one.
Often this condition can be
corrected while the picture is be-
ing enlarged. The extraneous de-
tails can simply be left out of the
shot entirely, but the best policy,
of course. is to leave this super
f1uous detail out of the picture in
the first place. Another picture
rejected by the judges for the
same general reason - too much
conflict with the center of interest
of the picture-failed because the
subjects blended with and became
lost against the background. 1t
showed a group of small boys at
the waterfront looking out across
the water. 1t was a fine picture
from the standpoint of idea and
technical excellence. but the OBJ
jects on the other side of the
water were of the same general
tone (photographically speaking)
that 1t was difficult usually to dis
entangle the subjects from the
background. A slightly different
camera angle would have cured
this defect.
Another entrant made an ap-
pealing composition of very
small and sad-looking puppy. for
lornly dropping against a formida-
BILE looking iron gate. Above the
gate and supposedly the cause of
the pups gloomy outlook on life
was a large sign with the legend
mo Dogs Allowed" But one thing
alone kept this entry out of the
prize money-the exposure. At
first glance this could not be criti-
cized for in fact, the entire range
of the gray scale from the whites
through the middle tones to black,
was perfectly rendered. But here
was an, instance where having the
overall exposure too perfect was a
mistake that spoiled the whole ef-
feet OF the picture. The little
dog was black and the background
directly behind him was rather
dark so that a good part of the
dogs head was lost. The photo
grapher should. in this case. have
exposed for the dog and let the
background take care of itself or,
as an alternative suggestion. the
dog could have been held back"
some during the printing of the
picture.
Avoid Harsh Lighting.
A few pictures missed because
of harsh. contrasty lighting. Hard
shadows appeared around the eyes
and nose areas or under hat brims
and could have been avoided by
either waiting for a better light
ing or posing the subject in the
shade
Faults in composition removed
another small group from the
running. Most of this is the re-
suit of the photographer being
unsure of the accuracy OF the
finder. Feet were cut off In one
or two prints and in others there
was too great or too small an area
of space at top, bottom or sides
of the shot.
Subject movement was the
cause of another class Of rejects.
This was almost exclusively
fault among pictures Of children.
A moving arm, hand or leg. or
even a wiggling finger was enough
to make blur. A faster exposure.
or more patience on the part OF
the photographer would have pre-
vented this. No cases OF camera
movement have cropped up so far.
This is as good an opportunity
as any to lay one rumor by the
one regarding print
size. A good many photographers
have heard that only the big
prints win the favor Of the judges.
