it also should be kept strictly in

Fast Lens Is Better.
The faster your lens the better
off you will be. for many shots
will have to be taken, if at all,
under adverse lighting conditions
which will demand exposures of
long duration for a slow lens. If
your lens is slow you can improve
your chances by using the fastest
film obtainable. Grainier mega

the ultraspeed films. but, as we

Camera Angles
Candid Camera Work Occupies Big Field
BY Alexander J. Wedderburn
curoter Of Photography
The Smithsonian insiifvsioc

II you are the Indifferent type
OF photographer who doesn't give
a hang about negative quality or
any Of the other finer points of
what is accepted today as pic
torial art-stick with us for a
while. We may have something
today that will interest you. For
the pictorial worker. our article
may suggest a welcome change of
pace. In short We will discuss
the type of genre study some
times referred to as candid pho
tography."
According to the dictionary, a
genre picture is study Of real
life. 1t will concern the life and
activities Of people. at home. at
work, and at play. This defini-
ton might we'll apply to almost
any snapshot you have taken
which involves the activities of
people. This does not include
posed pictures but rather those
taken of spontaneous and unre-
hearsed scenes.
But the special type of study
that We suggest you try is the
candid shot. stolen as it were. of
people during unguarded moments
when their thoughts are clearly
expressed by facial expressions.
We know of photographers who
have become so fascinated with
this form of photography that
they adopted it to the exclusion
of all other types, collecting hu-
man expressions with the camera
with the same avidity found in
another collector who hunts un-
ceasingly for q certain stamp.
Most Of us, at one time or an
other. have seen the candid pic
lures of humans and human emo
tions taken by the famous New
York photographer, Weegee. He
has worked all the angles, from
pathos to humor and, although
most Of his pictures are poor
things indeed from the stand
point of pure Photographic tech
nique. has produced a documen-
tary series second to none in the
portrayal of a certain form of
American life.
Need Lots Of Patience.
What Weegee, the little man
with the big cigar, has done you
can also do-though in perhaps
a more limited way. The world
is full of unsuspecting subjects.
All you need is a camera and lots
of patience. AS we have already
intimated you need not be a per-
fectionist since, in each case, you
will be capturing a mood rather
than q formal portrait which, in
all too many cases, does not re-
veal the true character Of the
subject.
Often the very drabness Of
poor lighting will serve to drama
tie an emotion or state of mind
that you are trying to portray.
The usual tenets regarding COM
position will. on many occasions.
have to be disregarded when YOU
have to fire" your camera in a
hurry to catch some fleeting mood
or expression. Keep this in mind
always because you will never
have much success at this kind
of picture taking if you insist on
having studio conditions to work
under.
Your equipment will be neces-
sarily simple. A camera, in most

a hurry while apparently engaged
in something quite different. This
may seem to be a remarkable feat.
but it can be done and Is done
every day.
The best approach is to carry
the camera suspended from the
neck by its carrying strap. II you
are wearing coat let 1t fall open
so that the camera Is partially
concealed. Know your field Of
view at different distances so that
you can point the lens In the
direction of the subject and make
an exposure without lifting the
camera to eye level and at the
same, time get the picture on the
film. This will take practice and
there will be disappoiptments be-
fore you can snatch a picture with
full confidence that have sue
ceeded each time.
Many Opportunities for Shots.
Catching people off-guard In
easier than you may think. II
you are q streetcar or bus rider
you will have untold opportuni-
ties for candid shots. II the
vehicle is crowded you will do
better to stand and watch your
subjects. With your camera hang
ing from your neck you will be
in an excellent position to take
your pictures in an unobtrusive
manner.
People riding on buses or street
cars have little to do but think.
Some thoughts are apparently
pleasant while others may run
the gamut of emotions. Your sub
jects. beng confined by the limita-
tions of space will be relatively
still, so. although the light may
not be the best. you run through
a roll of film during o trip to
the Office or back.
Pictures on the more sombre
side come dime a dozen in the
poorer districts of the city. Squa-
lor and poverty go hand In hand
and, while we are not merchants
in human misery. we can't help
pointing out that pictures Of the
seamy side Of life are all part OF
a collection of this kind. Human
misery shots have also done much.
when shown at meetings Of citi-
ems associations and to other ap-
propriate groups to alleviate the
conditions shown in the pictures.
The slums of one of the Nations
largest cities were cleaned up very
recently through the efforts OF
newspaper that ran a series Of
pictures Of the unfortunates, the
drunks, and the buns who slept
on Uttered sidewalks and
rat-infested alleys.
If you don't like this side Of
life. you can confine your camera
activities to the more pleasant
aspects OF human behavior, but
one way or the other. you will find
candid" photography one of. the
most fascinating sides Of a many
faceted hobby.

A new machine which may help
detect early cases of deadly coro-
nary heart disease is being demon
strated this week to Washington
doctors.
The apparatus is based on a
simple visual test. Its purpose is
to find subtle changes in the blood
system before definite symptoms
show up. Such changes appar-
emily occur in persons who have
q tendency to develop the disease.
The result of 10 years research
by Drs. A. c. Ivy and L. r. Krasno
OF the University of Illinois Med
ical School. the apparatus will be
demonstrated tonight to doctors
at Georgetown Hospital. 1t previ-
ously has been seen at Arlington
and Walter Reed Hospitals and the
Bethesda Naval Medical Center.
Evidence in Eyes.
DR.. Krasno, who gave a demon
stration before a distinguished
group of heart specialists at
Bethesda yesterday, explained
that blood vessels of the eyes give
q key to changes which appear to
precede high blood pressure OF
attacks of coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease is an
ailment in which the blood supply
in main vessels leading to the
heart is cut down.
The apparatus consists mainly
of light shining through open
ings in a. cylinder. When the
cylinder is revolving at high
rate Of speed, the light appears to
be constant. When the speed is
cut. the light flickers.
Looking first at the constant
stream of light, the patient is
asked to signal when he first sees
the flicker as the cylinder slows
down.
The patient then is given a
nitroglycerin tablet, which has
the effect of enlarging the blood
vessels. The test is then repeated.
Theory of the test, DR.. Krasno
explained, is that the patient with
tendency toward heart disease
will be slower to notice the flicker
than the normal person. When
the nitroglycerin enlarges the YES
eelS. however. the abnormal pa-
tient will see the flicker faster
because of more normal blood
flow to the eye vessels.
500 Patients Tested.
Conversely. he said. the normal
patient detects the flicker more
slowly after taking the nitro
glycerin. The reason, he said,
probably is that the vessel-en-
largement upsets the normal abil-
tty to see.

cial tackle for taking these fish.
Some lunkers are caught by COM
mercial fishermen all winter long,
weather permitting.
Stout rods. monel metal lines
with reels designed for them, leads
of from eight ounces to a pound
in weight and rather small, light
lures, such as the 30 and $40
Lusby with heads of various colors,
particularly all white, should do
the trick. In fact, we believe the
white hair streamers or those
made with maribou feathers for
fly fishing in a 80 size should be
even better. One has to troll very
slowly to entice the fish, which are
naturally sluggish at this time,
and it is difficult to keep ones
lure close to the bottom without
snagging sea grapes or dead grass
and still give it enough action to
attract the rockfish.
Some yellow perch and pickerel
may also be taken on live bait by
those hardy enough to brave the
elements in an open boat in tidal
creeks. and there are also white
perch to be had on blood worms,
as well as live bait. Frankly, how
ever, we'd rather sit it out in a
duck blind on the coolest day than
venture forth in a rowboat in the
kind of weather we've been having.
