For the last few months, the
thoughts of an aged scholar in
: Paris, France, have been turn
ing constantly to Chapel Hills
Orange Printshop, which is now
printing a book he began work
on in 1904. The man is Fernand
Baldensperger, an 80-year-old
retired professor, and the book
is 'The photography of Com
parative Literature"
my greatest hope is that our
work will appear in print while
/ am still alive" Mr.. Baden
sperger recently wrote Werner
P. Friedrich of the University's
department of comparative lit
erature, who has been helping
him with the book.
Mr.. Baldensperger has had a
long wait. His manuscript was
partially ready for publication
ten or twelve years ago, and
then his plans were crushed by
the fall Of France in 1910. Old
and unWell, he almost lost all
hope that he would live to see
the book published. Then in 1945
in New York he met and talked
with with Mr.. Mr. Frederick iiefi, who sw#lhle prem
ised to help him finish the manu-
script and get it published.
- Since then the old scholars
life has been one of waiting and
hoping that he would live to hold
in his hands a printed copy of
the work he began compiling SO
long ago. He won't have to wait
much longer, since it is expected
that the book will be finished
around March /.
Mr.. Baldensperger, a native
of Alsace-Lorraine, is one of the
last of the generation of French
scholars who established the
French School of Comparative
Literature in Paris in 1920. He
is a former faculty member of

Analysis by Harry B. Shaw of
the National Photographic So
ciety.
In making this photograph, Mr..
Mitchell used Voightlander

lens aperature at f.8. The ex-
posure of Is seconds was cal
culated by meter. The only source
Of illumination was summer day.
light streaming through the
windows on each side of the
chancel.
Considerable Judgment is nee
Iessary to successfully photograph
interiors, especially those of such
an imposing edifice as a cathe-
dral. Usually such a building is
dimly lighted through windows of
colored glass and the resulting
range of illumination is extreme
It is difficult to avoid over
exposure of window spaces, with
consequent halation and, at the
same time, to obtain sufficient
illumination of areas remote from
windows. unless artificial lighting
supplements daylight or entirely
replaces it.
In most cases it is not practicable
to place the camera far enough
from the object being photo
graphed and compromises must be
made. Wide angle lenses may be
used in restricted spaces, but such
lenses do not always yield q pleas
ing perspective. Furthermore. ow-
ing to the height Of the vaulted

tilt the camera upwards; this re-
suits in converging lines. This
condition can be partly corrected
by swinging the camera back into
vertical position.
The subject of this analysis is
the great organ of Washington
Cathedral-notable for its beauty
Of tone and design, rather than
for its size. Summer daylight
strongly illumines the triforium
OF organ pipes, which thus be-
come the rather too dominant
center Of interest.
Mr.. Mitchell has almost cor
rected the convergence of the
vertical lines of columns and pipes,
perhaps by the use of both swing
back and the fitting of the easel
of the enlarger. The focusing
was skilfully done, resulting in
pleasing texture and modelling of
the structure. There is some
halation in the windows and the
triforium of organ pipes might
advantageously have been printed
until perceptibly tinted or that
portion of the print might have
been toned down slightly with
one Of the available dyes. Pos.
sibly the use of a small flash lamr
would have improved the rendering
of detail in the lower portion Of
the picture. However, there /!
detail even in the darkest parts
On the whole. Mr.. Mitchell is tc
be congratulated on the production
Of an excellent picture of q difficult
subject.

trickery such as a distracting
noise or movement. He is far too
subtle an artist for that. Instead
Pops explains very carefully just
what the picture is intended to
portray. Each person is briefed
on his particular role. Whitesell
acts in the capacity Of director
and the exposure is not made un-
til the members of the group have
become so interested in the parts
that they individually portray
that the scene becomes as real
as though it had never been set
UP for posed shot.
Center of Interest Important.
Most group photographs at
tempted by amateurs are confined
to family groups and pictures of
friendly gatherings at meetings,
weddings. picnics, vacations, etc.
These pictures are usually pretty
horrible to behold. Invariably at
least one, and often more, of the
group will be staring, with self
concious rigidity, straight at the
camera. Otherwise some will be
looking in one direction while the
attention of others will be fixed
in quite another quarter. This
violates the very first rule of
group shots, that the attention of
all should be directed toward the
center Of interest of the scene,
Occasionally there will be excep-
tions to this rule but you will do
well If you, abide by 1t in most
instances.
If you are making a picture of
a bridal group which includes the
attendants. be sure that the at
tention of the others will be
focused on the bride and groom.
The bride and groom can, in turn,
be either lost In each other or
cutting the wedding cake, looking
at the gifts or something of a
similar nature. But be sure that
there is only one center of interest
in the picture. This can only be
accomplished by being sure that

Camera Angles
Tips on Making Group or Family Shots

Making good photographs Of a
group of persons is not the easiest
assignment for the amateur pho
tographer. Few professional cam
eramen succeed entirely in this
task. Most failures are the re-
suit of the inability of the pho
tographer to exercise full control
over the subjects but other fac
tors contribute as we shall see.
Most Photographic salons are
notable for their almost entire
lack OF examples Of group photog-
raphy. When a good group pic
ture does come along, it is almost
always sure of an acceptance.
But at the present time one man
seems to have q corner on the
market. This is Wood Pops)
Whitesell of New Orleans, La. I
talked to Pop Whitesell at the
recent P. S. A. convention and
viewed a large number of his
pictures. Without exception. they
were all of groups of people and
each picture was a masterpiece
of pictorial art.
The reason? The man simply
knows how to handle people.
Pops literally injects himself into
his group shots. Instead of stand
ing around fussing at his SUBJ
jects, he becomes an unobtruSive
part of each of his compositions.
AS one of the group he can talk
the individuals into the mood
of his theme and, after while
when they have forgotten that a
camera is lowering in the back
ground, he makes his exposure.
This is accomplished by means
of an extra long extension to his
shutter release.
I am not going to suggest that
you follow this procedure as a
rule, although 1t might work out
very well when you wish to make
a group study of your own family.
In many instances 1t would not be
practical for you to appear in
the picture. But there is no reason
why you can't use the Whitesell
technique Of making the sub
jects forget the camera long
enough for you to take an excel
lent group shot. He does not ac-
complish this with any ordinary
Evening star., 1950-11-19

all IN the group have fixed their
attention on this point.
Then there are the questions of
composition and lighting to be
taken into consideration. You
can't just tell your subjects to as
semble in corner of the room
and then snap the picture. A well
balanced grouping Is essential. AS
a general proposition it is best to
keep the group as compact as
possible. The farther the indi-
viduals are strung out the more
difficult you will find it to achieve
a nicely balanced lighting.
Groups in Semi circle.
Very large groups present more
OF a problem. If the weather per-
mits it is best to shoot large
groups such as wedding parties
out OF doors. An informal effect
is best if you can possibly arrange
1t that way. But there may be oc-
casions where you will have to
resort to more formal arrange
ment of the subjects. With large
number Of persons try to arrange
them, II possible, in a semi-circle
with the taller ones standing in
the rear Of a standing row of the
shorter members of the group.
Others seated in chairs will add
another row and still another row
can be added by seating a fourth
line on the ground. A semi
circular arrangement is more at
tractive than straight line and
should be used If practical.
Your family group pictures will
look natural enough if made In
the living room. A sofa or fire.
place provide two natural settings.
Try to get away from the stiff
unnatural pose where all are
staring at the camera. Instead
have them doing something. If
you are making a group of a
mother and two young children
you might have the mother read
ing from a book held in her lap
while the children's attention is
centered on her. Or a baby or
young child could be held by one
OF the parents while all in the
group are watching the young
ster-not the camera.
AS we have already mentioned
group lightings are somewhat of
a problem. If you are equipped
with only main and flll-in
lights, you will have to bring the
main light source closer to the
camera than you would If only
single subject were involved.
Otherwise deep black shadows on
the far side of the faces would
be impossible to overcome with
the single fill-in.
Your regular foodlamps will do
nicely for lighting if you have a
fast lens or If your subjects will
remain still long enough for you
to make a somewhat longer ex-
posure than you would give when
making a portrait Of one person.
Flash bulbs are harder to balance
unless you have used them before
but will make it easier for you
to stop motion with shorter ex-
posures.
When posing groups Of people
always be on the lookout for
awkwardly posed hands and feet.
And remember that the side of q
hand is more graceful in appear
ance than the back or palm. Turn
feet toward the camera rather
than at right angles and they will
be less prominent in the picture.
But the main thing is to get
them interested in something
other than the camera-then take
the picture.
