Federation Polls Clubs
For Beautiful Stamps
PhiIoteIic News
By jones Waldo Fowcett

The National Federation Of
Stamp Clubs, under the leader
ship of Harry L. Lindquist, has
undertaken a national survey
Of the aesthetic aspect of phi
lately. It has polled all its con-.
stitutent societies in an effort
to discover which stamps are
regarded by collectors as BEAU
tiful stamps. Without attempt
ing to define beauty, it has
asked each individual club to
report the first, second and
third choices of its members.
A similar poll roughly 20
years ago indicated that the
Penny Black of Great Britain
was the worlds preference.
This brought out a reaffirma-
ton of traditional principles
of design and launched a
movement for better-printed
and more beautiful stamps
which eliminated in the Ma
tional Stamp Conference. held
here in Washington, June 81
and %. 1887.
But the good results Of the
agitation of that period grad
ually faded and especially in
recent months there has been
sharp criticism of United
States stamps as well as of
those of the British Common
wealth of Nations. The Com
mission of Fine Arts took not
ice of the adverse comment
and announced that it "is pre-
pared to give advice, If con-

Camera Angles

Making home movies is
really just a step beyond TAX
ing snapshots with a still
camera. You must consider
the elements Of exposure,
watch your lighting and COM
position and follow the rules
of pictorial story telling you
learned with your first still
camera, but essentially the
problem is the same.
AS a matter of fact amateur
cinematography may come
easier than taking stills be-
cause you don't have the same
problem of stopping motion.
Instead, you follow it.
Long experience is not re-
quirement in movie making.
You can pick up one OF to-
days movie cameras and go
to work with it with the same
confidence you would have
with still camera. The movie
camera made for amateur
use is no maze of intricate
gadgets but is just as easy to
work with as the box camera
many use to take snapshots.
AS with the still cameras you
will discover your movie cam
era has a finder, lens and a
release which operates the
shutter. On some the lens
is preset at a fixed focus and
all scenes taken up to within
six or eight feet will automati-
cally be in focus.
Many Lenses Avoiloble
Other movie cameras, like
their more expensive counter
parts in the field of still pho
tography, will have lenses that
may he focused according to
a focusing scale. Some will be
made so you can simulate fast
or slow motion on the screen.
Still others may have a lens
turret which is an arrange
ment permitting you to switch
from one lens to a choice OF
others for a quick change in
focal strength so long shots,
medium shots and cloSeups
can be made without moving
the camera from it's position.
The f1xed-focus camera is
more than adequate for the
average family home movie.
This is the machine that COM
pares to the box camera Of
still photography.
The more expensive ma
chimes with extra lenses. pro-
visions for making special eff
fects, ETC., are for the amateur
who will take a more serious
interest in cinematography.
They will be helpful to men,
bers of clubs whose occasional
productions" require the use
Of more versatile equipment.

Camera Angles
Writer Lists Suggestions
In Making Home Movies
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

When you go to buy a still
camera you are inevitably
faced with an array of camera
styles and sizes bewildering in
scope. In the movie end of the
business this doesn't happen.
for there are only three camera
sizes to consider-35 mm., 16
nm. and 8 nm. The 35-mm.
cameras, projectors and sup
plies are so expensive that we
need not consider them further
for they are made for the
professional only.
Both the 16-mm. and 8-mm.
equipment are considered
amateur in spite of the fact
that much 16-mm. Aim is
being shot these days for
television and training films.
There is quite a difference in
price between the two and
some difference in future costs.
The 16-mm. film is more ex-
penSive. In the last few years
8-mm. movie equipment has
been so greatly improved that
it is difficult to advise the
purchase of 16-mm. material
simply on a basis of the quality
OF the product produced by
the larger machine. The chief
claim to superiority by the
los is that the project screen
image is better where a large
picture is wanted. but improve
ments in projectors have put
the smaller 8-mm. product in
a most favorable position for
use by those who are satisfied
with better -than-average home
movie films.
Check Use First
If you are going to join a
movie club 1t is advisable to
find out whether the group is
using one or the other of the
amateur sizes before purchas-
ing your camera and projec-
tor. Some clubs, notably the
Washington Society of Cine
photographers, have both 8
and 16 nm. sections. Those
with an idea toward selling
an occasional film for TV
use should by all means stick
with the 16-mm. medium
which is used exclusively by
the stations.
Another factor to be con-
sidered when buying a movie
camera is whether to get the
model that loads with a roll
Of film or the magazine load
job. When you find yourself
in a situation where you are
filming continuous action that
can't be repeated (such as a
race) and you come to the end
of the film a quick switch Of
mag gAzines can make the diff
ference. To stop and thread a
Evening star., 1953-11-15

new roll of film through the
camera at a critical point in
uncontrolled action is to invite
disaster. The magazine cam
era is also welcome at a time
when you have load of black
and white film which he's cHnn
partially run through the
camera and for some ic"1 n
you wish to switch over to a
magazine of color film. Maga-
zines can be switched at will
without a loss of more than
a frame of film each time.
This can't be done with roll
cameras.
On the other side you will
find the more professional type
cameras equipped to take film
in rolls or spools. These are
in greater lengths than the
magazine cameras and are
better suited for planned cine
matography.
