tropics is part of the research

Adrian TerLouw, reading a

in moist tropical areas are the
result of high temperatures
and particularly the high rela-

and insects, and the personal

them.

three phases. The first in

A stamp in memory of Sena-

in aid of the crusade against
cancer may be authorized. The
suggestion first was put for
ward Immediately after the
death of the man known to
millions as "Mr. Republican,"
July 81, and public support for
the proposal has been develop
ing ever since.
Meanwhile, the American
Cancer Society, Inc. has been
asked to file a formal petition
with Postmaster General Ar
thur E. Summerfeld, and the
District Of Columbia branch of
the national organization un-
derstands that this is being
done.
Postal officials say that the
projected stamp will be given
consideration Immediately on
receipt of the American Can
Ger Society's letter. They re-

lectors and some non-collec-

Use RISING Front

When photographing build
1ngs there is always the prob
lem Of keeping vertical lines
straight. The more exactiIig
fan will use a camera with a
rising front to cope with this
problem, but most of us will
have to correct for converging
lines when we make the prints.
This is easily accomplished by
fitting the easel when making
an enlargement.
Lighting is most important
when taking pictures of build
unexpectedly the white ones.
With an overhead or front
lighting it is extremely difficult
to prevent light buildings from
recording on film as a dead
white mass. To prevent this,

day or in the late afternoon

ton to the drive to find a
practical cure for cancer and
in that respect would be a
monument to him and an i'm
portant agency of help to the

across the buildings at q slant.
There is usually q best time Of
day to photograph any subject
and this can be learned by
observing the buildings at diff
ferent hours.
If you prefer old-style archi-
lecture you can find it in
Georgetown where some Of the
Oldest houses in America still
stand. Or a short drive will.
take you to Mount Vernon,
Alexandria, or even to Anna
polls, where Colonial houses
are the rule rather than the
exception.
Landscape Scenes
Some photographers are par
tial to landscapes and scenes.
If these are your preference
you will find many pleasing
subjects in Rock Greek Park,
along the Potomac. or in the
vicinity Of the old 3. & o.
canal.
Great Falls is another IA
vorite spot for camera fans.
And so is the ZOO for those who
like pictures Of animals. In
fact, we could go on for hours
describing only q few Of the
countless places in and near
Washington where picture pos
sibilitieS abound.
We have mentioned the de-
STABILITY Of using a rising
sfront for pictures Of buildings
and the possible need for a
haze cutting filter. Addition
ally, let us suggest a wide
angle lens and another Of long
focal length for the best cam
era work.
The former will help when
you have an entire building
to get on Aim and not enough
room to back up for q normal
lens. The long focus lens will
bring closer those shots where
you can't get close enough to
the subject with your camera.
