Taking Summer Pictures
With and Without Sun
BY Alexander J. Wedderburr
curotor Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

For some time to come most
of the pictures we take will be
made out of doors either in
sunshine or, at any rate. by the
natural light of day. Whether
they turn out well or not de-
pends upon our understand
ing of how to utilize natural
light to the best advantage.
Let's take a look at some of
the things that cause outdoor
snapshots to be inferior and
see what can be done about
getting better pictures this
summer.
We can make good pictures
by natural light whether the
sun is shining or not. Many
feel if the sun is hidden by
the clouds there is no posi-
bility of making a good pic
ture However. the diffuse
light is easier for most of us
to control than the bright
light of the full sun. AS a
matter of fact there are a
number of factors about bright
sunshine that are undesir-
able.
Features Cost Shadows
Any one who has taken snap
shots around high noon is fa-
miliar with one of the most no.
ticeable features of strong sun
light. Facial grimaces caused
by the glare do the rest of the
damage with the result that
your. subjects are unf1atteringly
portrayed.
When there is an over
abundance of light we are apt
to stop down the lens to bring
the exposure within the lati-
tude of the. f1lm. This, Of
course. makes background de-
tail very sharp because Of the
added depth of field. Some
times this Is desirable but
seldom when we are concen-
trating on the picture Of a per-
son. Where a human or an
animal is the center Of interest
of a picture the less prominent
the background the better. A
busy" background full Of de-
tails that have no significance
in the picture Is apt to draw
attention from the subject.
Problem in Contrast
Excessive contrast is still an
other trouble we are apt to en-
counter when shooting in
bright sunlight. The objects
brilliantly lighted by the sun
will reflect a tremendous
amount Of light while other
parts Of the scene, being in
deep shade, will reflect very lit
tie. If the film is given a nor
NAL exposure, prints from the
negative will have little or no
detail in the shadows and over
exposed and fat looking high
light portions. Exposure for
shadowed areas Of the scene
will result in a burned-up print
In the highlightS. If we expose
for the highlights, the shadows
will be so underexposed as to
have no detail.
So far this may sound a bit
as though it were an indict-
ment of sunlight photography,
but we are simply trying to
point out what can happen II
we fail to heed facts about pic
ture-taking under strong SUM-
light conditions. For example,
we can dispose of the squint-
ing and strong facial shadows

PhiIoteIic News
Stamp Collectors Given New Status

Postmaster General Arthur
E. Summerfield has paid the
stamp collectors of the Nation
the compliment of setting up
new branch of the Post
Office Department in their
interest, and for their service.
AS announced in the Postal
Bulletin of May 81. order No.
$3.50, dated the previous day,
provides that "all functions
pertaining to the Philatelic
Agency, the philatelic exhibi-
ton room, and philatelic mat
ters, now assigned to the
division of stamps and phi
lately, Bureau of Finance, are
transferred to the division of
phllately, Bureau of Finance:
and all remaining functions of
the division of stamps and
philately are transferred to
the division Of postal funds,
Bureau Of Finance"
This means, in less formal
language, that the Post Office
Department, under Mr.. Sum-
merf1eld's management, has
granted stamp collecting de-
gree of recognition never be-
fore conceded.
1t signifies an official COM
prehension of philately COM
pletely novel and new, un-
matched in any other postal
system in the world. Begin
ming May 81, stamp collec-
tors have a status distinct from
that of other patrons of the
facilities of the United States
Post Office Department.
That the philatelic public
has earned such special con-
sideration is a matter of rec
ord. Collectors have paid un-
counted millions of dollars in
to the post Offices of the Ma
ton for stamps never used
for postal duty. The profit to
the Federal Government has
increased from year to year
ever since the Philatelic Agen-
cy was established in 1922, un-
der the direction of the late
Michael l.. Eidsness, jr., Su-
perintendent of Stamps from
1921 until 1888.
But financial considerations
are only a single aspect of the
philatelic side of the Post Of

Sions of the United States.
They speak for American civil
ization in all it's many phases.
The designs they bear repre-
sent the aspirations as we'll as
the history of the entire Amer
can community, without dis
tinction Of class or creed or
any other limitation.
Stamp collectors have been
volunteer distributors of the
propaganda" of ordered lib
erty and progress. They have
circulated the postal adhesives
of the United States through
out the earth. Coincidentally,
they have built up organized
educational agencies, like the
American Philatelic Congress
and the National Federation
of Stamp Clubs, to teach the
democratic republican philos-
ophy of self-rule of, by and
for the people. They have
created a vast literature to
spread this doctrine and have
co-operated with radio, tele-
vision. the theater and the
movies to the same end. The

are but two of many public
displays of stamps worthy of
the attention of thousands of
visitors annually.
All this Postmaster General
Summerfleld has accorded Of
f1ciai approval in the newly
formed Division of Philately.
He personally intends to take
part in ceremonies and other
affairs arranged by the divi-
sion. His immediate lieuten-
ants also will be active at first
day occasions and philatelic
conventions and exhibitions.
The new Division of Philate-
ly will include Everything re-
lating to stamps and stamp
collectors" It probably will be
headed by Robert E. Fellers. a
Post Office Department Off
cial who has been in the
postal service for Al years and
is well known among philatel-
lists from coast to coast. He
will work under the direction
of Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Albert j. Robertson, one
of Mr.. Summerfield's princl-
pal aides.

rative in homage to Gen. John

by turning the subjects back
to the sun while we face it
with our camera.
This won't work at noon
when the sun is directly over
head but is the answer when
the sun is climbing or descend
ing. Another popular miscon-
ception is that you can't shoot
into the sun. Naturally you
won't aim the lens directly
into the suns rays and you will
be careful to see that sunrays
or reflections do not strike the
lens. That's what your SUM-
shade is for. Your subject. with
back to sun. will relax his ex-
preston and you will notice
the absence of nose, eye and
chin shadows. With a much
softer light, your exposure will
be considerably slower and
when you open the lens, the
sharpness of details in the
background will lessen cor
respondingly.
II you wish to take advan-
tage of a side lighting have
your subject turn his head un-
til you have the effect you
seek. To guard against ex-
ceSSive contrast. a reflector
should be used to tighten the
side of the face not reached by
the sun. This needn't be an
expensive gadget but one that
you can rig up. A sheet of
white cardboard makes a fine
reflector. So does a sheet,
towel or pillow case. If the
cardboard is used one of the
stands for your studio lights
will make a handy holder. II
you don't have one of these,
have an assistant hold the re-
f1ector.
Some for Action Shots
What about action shots?
Just use the same tactics SO
far as is possible. If the sub
ject is under your control, such
as q shot of some one walking
or running. ask that he or she
keep the sun to the back. In
uncontrolled situations you
will just have to maneuver
your camera the best you can
under the circumstances.
In any event try to shoot all
your sunlit pictures within a
couple of hours of the time
the sun rises or the same pc
riod of time before it sets. And
always use an exposure meter
to help gauge the exposure.
If the subject is posed against
a sky background. be sure the
meter reading is not influenced
by the sun or sky light. Hold
it close enough to the subject
to exclude the background
light influence. Or take q
reading on your hand, using
the same lighting.
On days when the sun is
hidden by clouds you should
have no trouble making fine
snapshots, for the lighting will
be diffuse and soft and we'll
suited. Your exposures will be
longer than with the sun out
but don't let any one kid you
that you have to have the sun
to make good pictures out Of
doors. Just about any kind
Of light will do. So next time
1t is cloudy when you want to
take pictures you can be glad
about 1t. Chances are they'll
be better than ever.

Nellie Headed For
Oil Tank When
That Dam Broke

NORTH ToNAWANDA, N. ", Up
There's a saying when times get
rough and troubles pile up: run
for the hills, Nellie, the dam just
brokel"
Not so with our Nellie. She didn't
have any hills. But she had an oil
tank. And she sure had troubles.
Nellie is a canine mother. A
Brittany spaniel. She has four little
Brittany spaniels, real fine puppies.
The dam broke on Nellie Wednes-
day. Heavy rains sent water slosh-
ing into the basement nursery, a
foot deep in most places. But
around the oil tank there was only
a couple of inches.
Nellie sized up the situation, but
she didn't run. She took matters
all four of them--in her teeth and
piled them up on the oil tank.
Then Nellie sat down and howled
for help.
Mrs. Kenneth Werth, Nellie's
mistress, cane running. She gath
cred up the shivering brood, rushed
them to the kitchen and applied a
dish towel. NeIlie's family was do
ing very well today. Nary a sniffle.
