y Camera Angles ~
Open Flash Method of Picture Taking

on your testing light and place it
slightly above and to one side of
the subject. Move the light about
and closely observe its effect.
Normal portrait lighting should be
used with one side of the face
completely Illuminated and tri-
angular patch of light falling on
the far side. When you are Ger
tain that your reflector is in the
right position, use the cable release
and open the shutter. AS the
shutter clicks open. flash your light
and Immediately close the shutter.
If you need a flll-in to tighten the
shadows you can place q sheet of
white cardboard or a large photo
graphic blotter opposite the flash.
The light will bounce back from
this reflector and give you a well
balanced lighting. To avoid con-
fict from other light sources, it
will be advisable to leave only
enough light in the room to OBJ
serve the expressions of the sitter.
In any event do not have any
other light directly affecting the
subject matter unless it is to be
used deliberately.
Open flash is most effective
when used for photographing
table tops and other still life
scenes. Used we'll to one side the
light will cast strong shadows and
make the subject matter stand out
in relief. Pets and other animals
that might be frightened by flood
lights are easy subjects for the
open flash.
If you want to shoot excellent
interiors of your home this method
will appeal to you too. If one
flash will not give you the lighting
that is most effective shoot the
picture by the same method out
lined above with the light held at
one side of the room. Then take
your flash over to the other side
and repeat the exposure. To do
this, OF course, your camera must
be on a tripod or table.
Regardless of subject matter.
the open flash procedure will in
sure an exposure on each shot.
If you use the synchronizer this
method will come in very handy
on the day that your synchronizer
breaks down. And If you own a
camera that isn't equipped for a
flash gun, the open flash will be
the answer to your flash problems.

where he obtained the sailing ex-
perience he'll use when he and
his father 60 cruising on Chesa-
peake Bay this summer. That's
where he got his love Of horses,
too-in the West.
I'VE lived at Friday Harbor
Wash, and being on an island,
you've got to learn a bit Of boat
lore to get around" he said, ex-
planning that his family used
power boats for their errands and
did some sailing, too.
Then we had a ranch for a
while and also used to ride lot
with friends after work on a sum-
mer job. That's where I learned
to love horses"
That's the only trouble with
Washington" Kenny added
There are not enough horses and
there are no Western saddles at
ALL"
Then he added a plug for the
Northwest and a sincere one:
Every one who goes out Oregon
and Washington way either wants
to settle right down and live there
or come back often. It's won
derful place"
And what about the hamsters?
They belong to the whole family
and are the ships mascots. The
two tiny animals look like guinea
pigs but are smaller, cleaner and
cutter. They fit in double decker
box called the White House. Their
names are Harry and Bess.

Open flash photography is for
the cameraman who would get
the best results with his flash
shots. While open flash tech
nioue is not suitable for all kinds
of action shots, within its own
limits duration of the fiash) it
will yield superlative results in
both portraiture and other types
of photography. When using syn
chronized flash. there is always
tie possibility that the shutter
will not synchronize with the light
peak of the flash bulb. But with
an open flash exposure you get
top performance with each shot.
Operating technique is very
simple; you just open your shut
ter, flash the bulb, close the shut
ter and the jobs done. You can
use any camera on the market
and you don't need synchron-
ized flash gun, either. A battery
case or hand gun and reflector for
the flash bulb will do the trick.
You can use a synchronized gun
but not with the usual hookup to
the shutter. It should be used
like the homemade arrangement
suggested.
AS the exposure will be made
on the bulb setting of the shutter,
you should use tripod so that
you will have complete freedom of
movement with the light reflector.
Duration of the flash being 1-5Oth
Of a second, ordinary motion will
be stopped. This makes it pos
sible for you to shoot pictures Of
children, pets, ETC.. and to take
portraits without worrying too
much about subject movement.
Use Small Lens Stop.
Because you will utilize the full
amount of light given by the bulb
you will be able to stop down
your lens aperture and thereby
benefit by an increased depth OF
field plus the security of knowing
that you will get a sharp image.
even if the subject does move a
bit from the plane of critical
focus. And. above all, you won't
have that nagging worry that your
outfit is not properly synchronized.
In any discussion of the merits
of fash photography. some one is
sure to voice concern over light
control. The usual point is made
that the photographer can only
guess what effect the flash will
have-and for this reason many
camera fans are reluctant to take
a chance with any light other
than their photofood lamps.
1t is a simple matter to deter
mine exactly where the light from
the reflector will fall. One test is
to place an ordinary light bulb in
a reflector and hold it in the posi-
ton where you think the fash
should be placed. Then, after
studying the effect of the light
and making any necessary changes
of height or angle, the flash re-
flector is placed in its most effec-
tive position. We are assuming,

of course, that you will have your
flash reflector mounted on a light
stand.
Test With a Flashlight.
If you intend to hand-hold the
flash, you can work out different
arrangement by fastening the
flash reflector to a f1ashlight.
Point the flashlight at the subject
and notice the effect of its rays.
When you have the lighting you
want, shoot your picture and the
lighting will be to your satisfac-
ton. The problem of parallax in
this instance will be negligible if
the light is held several feet from
the subject.
In taking portraits by the open
flash method you will have great
advantage over the usual food
lights. A great many people can't
stand the glare from the floods
and squinty, unnatural expression
result in many cases. But with
open flash you can talk a subject
into a good expression. entirely
free from strain. For closeups a
flll-fn light can be omitted by US
ing a reflector opposite the flash.
First of all get all of your equip
ment assembled and ready to oper-
ate. Don't make the mistake of
seating your subject while you
fiddle around with the camera and
light. When all is in readiness.
place your subject in his position
and obtain a critical focus. Then
stop down the lens. The correct
stop will depend upon the distance
from the light to the subject and
the speed of the film. At short
distances you will have to stop the
lens all the way to avoid over
exposing. If you find that you are
getting an overexposure despite
this precaution you will have to
turn to a slower film.
Close Shutter at Once.
After a little practice you will be
able to judge accurately just what
lens stop is called for at each given
distance from a subject. At the
beginning it will be good idea to
keep notes on your exposures until
you have it down pat
At this point the shutter control
should be set on bulb. Then turn
