Camera Angles
Beach Provides Combinations for Pictures
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

There's still plenty of time to
take that vacation at the beach
where there is cool sea breeze to
help you forget hot weather
troubles. Might just as well take
that camera along for you'll find
innumerable opportunities for pic
lures that won't be repeated for
another year. Sea, sand and pretty
girls are a sound combination for
the photographer who wants to
shoot a few good pictures without
working too hard with a burden OF
gadgets and heavy equipment.
More pictures taken by amateurs
are ruined by poor backgrounds
than for any other one reason.
This Is not because Of any lack OF
appreciation on the part Of the
photographers of the finer points
of the art of picture taking, but
rather because they are too busy
concentrating on the subject. Then
after the picture is developed and
printed, there is the unhappy real
ization that branches of trees. ar
ticles of furniture and other odds
and ends seem to be sprouting all
over the picture.
At the beach you won't have to
worry too much about your back
grounds. They will be mostly plain
areas of sea and sand which will
focus attention on the subject
rather than detract from 1t. How
ever, even under favorable condi-
tions such as these you may seek
out (and find many unusual back
grounds that will add just chat
sufficient touch of atmosphere to
make your pictures success.
Look for Background.
AS such examples are piers that
jut out into the water. barnacle-
incrusted remains of old hulks and
spray-swept rock formations. OR
an old weather-beaten piling may
be just the thing to pose your
model on. You can take along your
own props such as beach ball, in
fating type water toys-or just an
ordinary everyday bath towel.
Make use of your imagination
when it comes to using these
props in your beach shots. Where
people are involved. you will us
ually either be shooting for posed
portraits of an informal nature or
for action pictures. Natures
props are best for lending an
authentic ring to your photo
graphs and the others will help
out on the action shots.
If you want an absolutely plain.
background shoot from very low
angle, silhouetting your subject
against the sky. Or, If you have
something to stand on reverse the
procedure and shoot from q very
high angle so that nothing but
sand will show around the sub
ject. However, there Is nothing
Objectionable about including
skyline in your photos If it is,
well placed.
Watch the Skyline.
Most shots at the beach will
have an unbroken backgr ound.
This condition does serve, on the
other hand, to place emphasis on
the skyline where water and sky
or water and sand meet. Try to
make sure that this skyline or
horizon line does not cut your
composition into two equal parts.
1t will be better from q pictorial
standpoint to keep the skyline in

Uncle Rays
Corner
BY Ramon Coffmon.

The roundness Of the earth
may be due to the spinning mo-
ton of the earth. with the action
of gravity on it before it became
as nearly solid as it is today.
Some astronomers have the the
ory that the earth is chunk OF
the sun which was flung out long
ago. If that is true, it probably
had a very rough shape when it
was new. With constant spin
ming, while in molten condition,
the higher parts would tend to
spread out, filling the lower levels.
If such an action had gone on
long enough, the earth would
have become a perfect sphere"
AS it was. it hardened on the sur
face, leaving a crust with some
high places, and some low.
May Be Pieces of Sun.
1t is possible that all the plan
cts were blown out of the sun by
explosions. In that case, certain
of the explosions must have been
more powerful than others.
Greater force was needed to send
Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune into
space than such planets as Venus
or Mercury.
All the planets revolve around
the sun, and all spin while they
reyolve. In one case. however.
the spinning has slowed down
very greatly. Mercury appears to
turn around only once while re-
volving around the sun. This
means constant daylight for side
of Mercury. and constant night
for the other side.
The earth is almost the same
size as the bright and beautiful
planet called Venus. Venus and
the earth have been called twin
sisters"
Some twins differ a bit in size,
and there is a difference in diam
eter of about 3 per cent in
the case Of the two planets. The
earth has a diameter of 1926
miles, while the diameter of Venus
is about 7'7oo miles.
Earth Has Larger Neighbors.
The earth is a great deal larger
than Mercury or Mars. and 1t is
believed to be larger than Pluto.
1t is much smaller than Jupiter,
Saturn. Uranus or Neptune.
The distance around the earth
at the equator is just under $4,000
miles. If an airplane made q con-
slant speed of $50 miles an hour
along the line of the equator. it
would need 100 hours to circle the
globe.
The earth is the same size as it
was in the time of.Magellan, but it
took Magellan's men three years to
sail around the globe. Now it can
be circled by fast airplane in
three or four days.
! The earth is slightly fattened at
the poles. The distance from the
North Pole to the South Pole is
about 26 miles less than the dis
tance through the earth at the
equator.
The area Of the earth's surface
Is about 1877 100000 square miles.

count for political attacks. Demo-
Gratis, with a few exceptions, have
been strangely silent. and politics
is a factor there. Business. like
wise. has been critical in public
statements and through repre-
sentatives who have appeared
before the Joint Economic Com
mittee in Congress.
The program does call to a de-
gree for q controlled economy in
some respects, much more than
any one would like in our country
NORMALLY, and much more GER
tainly than President Truman
himself, and his advisers. would
like. To attribute to him motives
ascribed in some extreme political
attacks Is not only unjust, but
somewhat silly. He Is not that
sort of person or President. He
has no power completes as far a.
anybody who knows him has
found out.
Must Look to Cause.
The big mistake is that the
criticism goes to effects rather
than causes. The real reason fol
controls, and it is very simple, Is
the huge military outlay which
REQUIRES q great quantity of all
sorts of production. This Is In
competition with tie requirement
for civilian goods. To meet both
demands as eqUtably as possible
it is essential to have controls to
provide fair distribution. Because
of the shortages that exist still in
some lines, which run up prices
under the old law of supply and
demand, it is also necessary to
have price controls.
An armed economy% as we
should have learned by our war
experience, can not be a free
economy. An armed economy
must, from It's very nature and its
very demands, be a controlled
economy. We are, in effect, liv-
ing IN a military state toda' II
permeates the fabric OF our Gov.
ernment, our economy, and oul
thinking.
On top of military requirements
are demands for the European
Recovery Program, which itself
means commodities of all sorts
from our supplies. The latter
however, could be filled without
too much strain If it were not fol
the extra $4,000, ,000, 900 for mill
