Camera Angles
Vacation Trip Camera Planning

Travel pictures pose no special
problem. The only difference be-
tween them and those you shoot
at home is the fact that you are
further away from your familiar
base Of operations. You can't trot
around the corner to your IA
vorite camera shop for help or
supplies, so we plan today to throw
out few hints that will help your
advance planning.
A list of the equipment and
supplies that you will take along
should be your first concern.
Don't overdo it and wind up with
an extra trunk loaded down with
items you will never use. But
don't overlook any essential part
of your working kit. Enough film
to last you until you can reach
a sure source of supply is as i'm
portant as the certainty that your
camera will work when you
need it.
Projection equipment; especially
if you are going abroad, should be
left at home. Power supplies in
foreign countries vary SO that
your slide or movie protector will
not always be workable. If you
feel that you must have access to
projection apparatus. you will do
better to rent 1t. This will be
easier to do than you may sup
pose. One of our larger manufac-
turers of photo equipment has
outlets in most foreign countries
that you will be able to visit
These stores. that carry our films
as we'll as other supplies and
equipment. are usually to be found
in the capital cities and other
tourist centers.
Film Supply Assured.
This fact will enable you tc
travel with the assurance Of get
ting film away from home pro-
vided you will pass through one
or more of these supply points
It may also save you explanations
to foreign customs officials who
have no objections to a reasonable
supply Of film, but who may ques-
ton the purpose of a large guam
tity. You will have no trouble
with the foreign customs people
If your film goes from country to
country as part Of your personal
luggage.
If your camera is Of foreign
manufacture you must be eSpe-
cially careful to establish proof
of ownership before starting off
on your trip. Otherwise you may

waste OF time, but we know OF O
good many occasions wnere
faulty shutter or some other sim
liar trouble resulted in a total
waste of film over an entire vaca-
tion trip.
Exposure Data Is the Same.
A surprising number Of camera
tourists come home with little to
show in the way of pictures and
complain that they didn't know
where to go for their pictures.
Local authorities are the best
sources for this kind of informa-
tion. They cannot only tell you
where and what to photograph.
but. more important. they will
help you out of trouble by point
ing out prohibited areas. such as
military installations. A good
tourist guide book will also be
helpful. particularly if you don't
speak the language of the country
you are visiting.
Too many people worry about
exposure the. minute they get
away from familiar territory.
Don't let it worry you for Sec
ond. The same sun shines on the
whole world wherever you may
be, at the same angles that you
have exposed under countless
number of times. and with the
same sky conditions. Therefore
shoot exactly as you normally
would. using your light meter "a
guide. I have heard 1t argued.
time and again, that a great vari-
ance exists between the intensity
of light in our region and that
of the tropics. AS a matter of
fact the light intensity varies very
little. Conditions may make 1t
seem otherwise, however. But
the truth of the matter is that
refecting characteristics of sand.
water, and, light colored buildings
make it appear that light is more
intense in tropical climates.
If you find this to be the case,
act accordingly and cut your ex-
posure according to an accurate
meter reading. Where there are
areas of strong sunlight and dark
patches of shadow the safest
method is to measure the bright
est and the darkest separately
and split the difference for the
exposure rather than to try an
over-alil reading which may be
overly influenced by the strong
lighted portion. Adequate COM
pensation of exposure should be
made when using a side or back
lighting or when exposing for q
dark or light colored object.
And, finally, be sure to make q
caption or notation about every
shot you take so that you will be
able to identify your pictures
later on. Movie fans can do this
easily by shooting road signs and
town names.

you return to this country. AS
you know there are large import
duties on cameras and photo
graphic paraphernalia. These do
not apply. of course, if the item is
taken out and then brought back
by the same person.
1t is therefore up to you to es-
tablish the necessary proof of
ownership. Your bill of sale, If
you still have it, will be satisfac-
tory. An insurance policy issued
for the equipment is equally &C.
ceptable. Lacking either of these,
you can prepare a statement list
ing serial numbers and have the
paper notarized and thus estab-
lish a record of the fact that you
had possession of the items in this

Color film will be the ideal me-

AS the result Of a suggestion to

Il think it would be nice If at

work stop and everyone would
pray for the boys overseas. God
will surely protect us all.

President Truman forwarded
Linda's letter to the Armed Forces
Chaplain's Board. The six men,
bers agreed that radio stations
in the Washington area and busi-
ness firms throughout the Nation
should be told of Linda's request.
Then Rear Admiral S. w. Sails
bury, board chairman and Navy
Chief of Chaplains, wrote Linda
and thanked her for her concern
for the servicemen.
"All of us wish to say that you
must be very kind and sweet
little girl to think of such help
for our men fighting overseas. It
is our prayer that Almighty God
will bless you and all your family
and will always keep you in His
loving care" ~.
