and is reflected from the subject
back toward the camera lens. The
light rejecting from the subject
passes through the lens and regis
tiers on the film. A white blouse
reflects great deal of light and
therefore registers strongly on the
film. A black skirt reflects little
or no light and makes correspond
ingly little impression on the film.
intermediate tones in the gray
scale reflect more light than black
and less than white, and affect
the film proportionately. At the
moment of exposure an invisible
image is formed on the film. To
make this image visable and us
able we subject the film to treat
'ment in a chemical bath which
removes that part of the SEN
sitized material which was not
acted upon by the reflected light,
This produces negative image
from which we make our positive
prints. In the negative, blacks
appear as white and whites as
black; hence the need for making
positive prints SO that the scene
or image will duplicate the orig
inal tones of the subject.
About Camera Movement.
@. What causes a multiple
image on a film that I know was
not double-exposed?
A. A multiple image would indi-
cate camera movement during the
exposure. To correct for this
place the camera on tripod OF
shorten the exposure so that a
slight camera movement will not
be recorded. If the picture is OF
IA person and there is a multiple
image of the individual while all
else in the scene remains sharp
the trouble is due to subject move
ment. In this case you should
speed up the exposure or make
sure your subject remains motion
less during the exposure.
@. Which is the best color film
for amateur use?
A. So far as we are concerned
this is a matter of personal taste.
AS matter of fact there is little
possibility that any of the color
films on the market will exactly
duplicate a scene in its natural
colors. Color films exaggerate,
despite all efforts of the manufac-
turers to date. This is due prob
ably more to the instability of
color dyes than any other cause,
Some of the fault, of course, lies
with the photographer who fails
to make the best exposure possible
We suggest that you try them all
and decide for yourself which film
pleases you the most in color rem
dition.

Hiking Increases
In Popularity at
Pocono Resorts

POCONO MOUNTAINS, Pa
Hiking-just plain, old-fashioned
walking in the woodS-haS gained
tremendous popularity the last few
years. More and more resorts in
the Pocono Mountains Of Penn
sylvania report the addition OF
hiking trips to their schedules OF
weekly activities.
Perhaps the most ambitious
challenge to mixers is the 1000
mile Appalachian Trail, which
cuts the heart of the Pocono re-
gion at Delaware Water Gap
Found in this area on the Kitta-
tinny Range of the Blue Ridge
Mountains, the trail may be
reached by climbing Tammany
Mountain in New Jersey or Mount
Minsi In Pennsylvania.
Tammany and Minsi form the
famous Delaware Water Gap and
rise to a height of l ,400 feet. In
addition to the Appalachian, there
are many other hiking trails in
the mountains.
Minisink Trail, for example, is
an old Leni-Lenape (Delaware)
Indian path and dates back tc
1700. Numerous relics - arrow
heads, pottery and the like--have
been found there. Most of the
MiniSink parallels the present site
Of Route 400 and is full of indian
lore and legend.
Other trails equally exciting are
planned and maintained by indi-
vidual resorts. Thousands oil
mountain paths dip and clint
Throughout the entire Poconc
plateau.

Camera Angles
Questions and Answers on Photography
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

Camera fans. like any other
group, occasionally run into prob
lens that require professional
help. They send in the questions
and we try to give them clear
answers. Today we come up with
a new crop of questions and an
swerS that have come in during
the past months.
Is an exposure meter absolute
ly necessary?
Although we have advocated
the use of an exposure meter for
determining exposures for good
many years in this column, it
cannot be fatty stated that the
meter is an absolute necessity.
Most film makers publish expo
sure guides which, if carefully
followed, will help you make sat
isfactory pictures without the use
of an exposure meter. Then,
there are a very few photograph
ers who seem to have the knack
of exposure perception and. who,
after a few months experience,
seem to be able to Judge their
exposure with uncanny accuracy.
These fortunate individuals are
in the minority, however. The
exposure guide. on the other
hand. is not infallible. AS its
name denotes it is only a guide.
It is up to the individual to in
terpret the data contained in the
guide and amend its instruc-
tons according to different light
ing conditions.
Some camera fans can do this
and make pretty good pictures
But there are numerous occasions
when a meter is a necessity. It is
often difficult to judge exposures
where great areas of white or
black exist together within the
picture composition. Extremes in
contrast make casual judgment
Iof exposures extremely risky Al
lI14OuSI4 C4IC WHO 1aOACuOC VI 11iA1lO
makes it possible to obtain a
disable negative even though the
Exposure be considerably off one
way or the other. it must be rec
Iognized that there is a perfect
exposure possible for each shot.
This should be the aim OF all
photographers. professional or
amateur. Therefore we continue
to urge a metered exposure for
each shot when possible.
@. How is the Photographic
image formed on the film?
A. The simplest way to answer
this question is to briefly describe
the process. Imagine that you
have your camera aimed at one of
your children who is to be the
subject of the picture. The light
from the sun, sky, or artificial
light source strikes the subject

@. How soon can I make pic
lures of my newborn baby?
A. During his first day Of life II
you wish (and the hospital au-
thorities permit. Since new
born baby keeps its eyes closed
most of the time we suggest the
use of the flash shot at this stage.
Short sessions under f1oodlamps
will do no harm. AS the baby
grows Older and begins to move
about, you will probably have to
|go back to the flash shots unless
you are adept at shooting in q
hurry when the youngster is still.
Children's Pictures.
@. Can you suggest a way to
keep children still long enough to
take picture with an ordinary
amateurs camera?
A. The best way to persuade
children to cooperate during q
picture taking session is to keep
them nterested-either in what
you are doing or in some game or
toy of their own. With older
Fchildren, the former method
works best. Give them a patient
explanation of what you are try
ing to accomplish and a small
bride will often do more than all
t the exhortation in the world.
With younger children, try to get
them interesed in some game or
toy and shoot as fast as you can
before interest waneS. Under no
circumstances allow yourself to
become excited or angry for these
feelings will be transmitted to
your young subjects and cause
you much grief. If none of this
works allow the children to 60
about the business of playing in
their own way. Then when they
have forgotten about you and the
camera, you can sneak a few shots
J., for pictures that will be more
natural than the posed ones.
@. How should picture be
lighted when color film is to be
used?
| A. Little differently than when
you are using black and white
film. The most important diff
ference is the desirability to keep
the shadows from being too deep.
But do not feel obliged to use a.
fiat lighting. Depth is just as
important in color photography as
it is in monochrome. When you
go after depth in black and white.
you use rather deep shadow
on one side of the face. When
shooting color use the same
shadow but apply more film
light so that the shadow will not
be deep and black. Stay away
from fiat lightings in any kind Of
photography for the best results.

Corner
On Coins
BY Ted Hummer

Nearly 1000 American coin COL
lectors will head for Phoenix, Ariz.
soon. The American NumismatiC
Associations annual convention
will be held in the Arizona capital
August $3.50. Joseph Moss. Phila-
delphia attorney, is unopposed In
the election for president.
While three business meetings
a banquet and officers sessions are
scheduled it's not for these that
most collectors travel to the an
nual meetings.
| These conventions are featured
by displays of the country's biggest
and finest coin collections. Gen.
orally, the bulk of the displays
come from the area where the
convention is held. It is not I'M
usual for the display to have a
value of 100000 to 81 million.
At these conventions, collectors
can see rarities on display. In
some instances, where only one to
four or five of a certain coin ex-
lists. such rarities show up at the
ANA meetings every few years.
While 80 or more of the Nation S
leading coil leaders will be at the
convention, most of them will take
along no stock for sale. They go
to buy.
Another outstanding convention
feature which attracts many is the
swapping. The swapping of coins
by collectors goes on from early
morning until late at night in cor
ners of the convention hotel. Coin
collectors are avid Swappers and
ardent sightseers. All collectors
ARE welcomed at the conventions.

Consolidation Is
Discussed at
Joint Meeting Here

A meeting Of the Production
and Marketing administration,
Soil Conservation district and
directors, Farmers Home ad-

to the supervision of permanent
type soil conservation practices.
Housing of the two agencies
under one roof is a future
move to be made.
The second phase of the
meeting was a review of the
proposed 1852 handbook and
recommendations were made in
regard to Improvement of the
specifications of several prac-
tices.
Directly following the session
was a meeting of the agricu1-
tural mobilization committee OF
Big Horn county, consisting OF
the PIMA committee, SCS work
unit conservationist, FILA rep
