Camera Angles
Spectacular and Pictorial Shots at Horse Shows

when you develop the films. This
also applies to pictures of stand
ing horse. Never cut off the the
feet or part of the body Of the
horse with the single exception
where you make a closeup Of the
head.
No one Of my acquaintance
likes to see a horse fall or a rider
spilled, but these things often
happen and when they do an alert
Icameraman can often grab a spec
|tacular shot. Spills and falls
occur most often at the higher
Jumps and during the timber
races. If you are hopeful of
grabbing a shot of this kind your
best bet is to work inside the
ring, refocus for each Of the jumps
and be on your toes to trip the
shutter as the horse goes down or
the rider spills from the saddle.
Pictures like this are almost a
sure sale to any nearby newspaper
If you have taken down the name
of horse and rider. You can also
make money with your camera at
horse shows by taking pictures of
the winners in each event. If you
do be sure to get the names and
addresses of the riders and own
ers. It's a good idea to shoot one
picture of all the winners of a
class as they are lined up to re-
ceive ribbons-then later get each
of the winners of to one side and
make an individual shot Of each.
No matter how adventurous you
may be, never take the chance Of
getting in the way Of horses that
are negotiating a jump. No pic
ture in the world Is worth your
life or that Of the rider or horse.
Be as unobstrusive as possible. for
many horses will shy at the un-.
and tragedy may result.

Tips on Shooting Angles.
Here are a few tips that we
can pass on to you for taking
pictures of horses:
First, make sure that you will
get more than a passable negative
Use an exposure meter so that you
will at least be sure Of getting
something on you film. Then give
some thought to obtaining a salts
flying composition. An ordinary
Jump can be made to look spec
tacular on film if you crouch down
and shoot up at the jump from a
low angle. Don't shoot from the
side of the Jump. Rather. get
around to the front and shoot
from slight angle. This pro-
Icedure will also help you stop mo-
ton.
Also try to familiarize yourself
with what is considered good form
both In horse and rider. No one.
particularly an experienced horse
man, will appreciate a picture that
shows his horse standing with
dropping ears or head. If you are
unfamiliar with the points on
which horses are judged. ask one
of the old-timers who are sure to
be around the show ring.
The most graceful view Of a
jumping horse is when 1t is at
the point where the forelegs are
bent to clear the bars. That is
what you should be alert for and
trip your shutter at just that stage
Of the action. Keep your camera
far enough around to the front of
the Jump to keep the rails OF, side
wings Of the Jump from coming
between the camera and the horse.
Get All the Horse In.
Another bit of sound advice is
to get back far enough so that
you are sure to get the entire
horse and rider In your finder.
III you are too close the horses
head or feet may be cut of to
leave you feeling q bit foolish

The Monthly
Print Clinic
Analysis by Harry B. Shaw OF

Analysis by Harry B. Shaw OF
the society: Mr.. Eaton made the
exposure with q Burke James
camera equipped with q Heliar Is
en-. lens set at f:16 and focused at
about 100 feet. The day was bright
and clear despite towering cumulus
clouds. The negative was made on
Super Pan Press cut film and the
print on Indiatone paper. The
scene is on the Delaware River at
Philadelphia and depicts a Victory
Ship being nosed out from her
mooring into midstream.
This picture has dramatic quail
ties created by the suggestion OF
power applied by the tug to the
massive vessel and by the strongly
opposed contrasts Of light. which,
however, are not harsh. Every
portion Of the print is luminous
and the tones just fall within the
limits Of the Indiatone paper. in
dicating good judgment in the ex-
posture and development Of the
film. The direction of the sun
light is clearly indicated by the
crests of the cumulous clouds. This
is a good example Of back-lighting
and the point of view has been
well chosen to take advantage of
that type of lighting and to en-
nance the almost stereoscopic
quality Of the print.
The lens was focused on the
bow of the vessel and the aperture
was sufficient to render agreeably
the various planes Of the scenes
and to create atmospheric perspec-
tive. The bright but soft glow Of
the sky in the center background
Is effective in accentuating the
dark streamers Of smoke from tug
and vessel. Doubtless the luminous
quality Of the darkest tones will
be lost in q newspaper reproduce
ton and rendered as an opaque
black.
Although the horizon line al
most equally bisects the picture.
the high cranes. smokestacks and
Of smoke cause the
dominant objects to occupy APP
proximately two-thirds Of the
height Of the picture. The clear
stretch Of water in the foreground
adds to the spaciousness Of the
scene and Its tone balances the
picture.
