xide shots This vii be particular
ly true Of closeup work Al enc
time o. another al Of Us have
wondered how the Hollywood pro-
fessionai movie photographers
were able TO shoot outdoor scenes
in brilliant sunlight Of cowboys
In their wide hrimmeo hats with
out the Swallowed faces that
plague our own efforts.
The answer. OF course, Is ihA;
they use additional light This
may be supplied either by booster
lights when action Is restricted
70 O very limited area or renee-
tors. Since most amateurs can
not afford powerful booster lights.
professional type refectors must
be substituted Fortunately. any
one can make an excellent renec-
tor from common and inexpensive
materials.
Although exposures on black
and white Aims are greatly bene-
fitted by the use OF refectors. color
film rolls are almost dependent
on the reflector when II comes
to obtaining the best possible ex-
posure. After shooting our frst
roll Of color film We realize at
once how little latitude IL really
has. Monochrome Aim can handle
q certain amount Of harsh con-
TRASHY lighting. but II you expose
your color Aim for the shadows,
the high light areas viii be weak
and washed out In appearance:
while an exposure based on the
bright areas Of the scene viii
leave little detail In the shadow
portions. Therefore. to eQualtze
the exposure a bit. We must d.
rect an amount Of light into the
shadow areas with a reflector.
Securing Balanced Lighting.
Properly used. reflector will
balance your lighting Just as q
fill-in light will do so indoors
The one important rule to remem-
Der Is that>natural lighting effects
must be achieved. Indoor light
rays may come from almost any
direction and seem perfectly nor
NAL. This Is because We have be-
come accustomed TO finding
lamps, overhead lights. and all
other manner of lighting arrange
ments inside a house or once
building. But outdoors. except un-
der rare conditions. we have come
to expect the lighting to come
naturally. from the sun.
Accordingly then We must place
the reflector at q high angle
rather than down low on the
ground. This may be accom-
plished with the aid Of Q tripod
light stand or q tall assistant
The tripod Is best because 1t
doesn't become tired. Try hold
ing . large sheet OF plywood or
plasterboard overhead at arms
length for a few minutes and
you'll see what We mean.
The reflector should be placed
so as to face the sun. Then 1t
can be tilted one way or another
until the desired lighting effect
is reached. Don't place the
reflector ON the ground, or IN .
low position unless you are try
ing for special lighting effects.
BY using reflector you can
afford to ignore the position Of
the sun In relation to the SUBJ
