For closeups with such a
camera you will have to add
a supplementary lens to obtain
a sharp picture.
Where the entire image is
blurred the cause can be put
down to camera movement.
This can easily happen if you
are in a hurry. If you do not
have a tripod, camera clamp,
or other means of holding the
camera stationary. hold your
breath and use a squeezing
motion to release the shutter.
Bracing the camera against
your body will help. Never
make the mistake of punching
the shutter release.

for a few spoiled shots. Many

Camera Angles

What is your Photographic
batting average? Or, to be
more explicit. how many good
snapshots do you get from a
roll of film? If you discard
more than two prints from a
12-exposure roll it's high time
for some self-criticism, for even
two misses out of IL Is an eX-
tremely poor average consider
ing the fine films and cameras
we have.
Most all poor photographs
stem from haste or carelessness
hardly any can be blamed on
your camera, provided, of
course, your camera has had
good care.
Reasons for Poor Results
If your prints sometimes
have a pale, washed-out look
with excessive density and
little detail in the highlights.
you will know that you gave
much too much exposure to the
film. We say much too much"
because practically all modern
film materials have a wide
tolerance for even fairly wide
of f-the-mark guesses at ex-
poSure.
The common causes are:
Setting the shutter for too
long an exposure; opening the
lens diaphragm too wide for
the existing conditions; a
faster film than you are ac-
customed to using.
To prevent this, know the
speed of the film and make
proper adjustments of shutter
and lens opening, according to
the reading given by an ex-
posure meter. If you haven't
been using a meter, it should
be obvious that you have not
had enough experience to cal
culate an exposure on your
own.
When Picture Is Too Dark
But if the picture failures
are dark, and especially lack
ing in details in the shadow
areas, underexposure is indi-
Gated. Once more, the trouble
will have been due to an i'm
proper setting of shutter or of
aperture, or because you were
using a Aim slower than the
one YOU normally use.
Correct for this in the future
by using a light meter and
following it's directions.
In cases where there is
simply not enough light
available for a normal daylight
exposure, you can use a flash
lamp or floods to supply the
needed illumination.
When limoges Are Fuzzy
FuzzineSs or unsharpness oil
the picture image may result
from either of two causes. II
will surely happen if the
camera is out of focus. Where
a camera has a focusing
adjustment this can be pre-
vented by checking the image
in the finder for sharpness, OF
by measuring the distance
from camera to subject, if you
are unable to estimate foot
age accurately.
On box cameras which lacl
a focusing arrangement ar
out-of focus shot means thai
you were too close to the sub.
ject. Next time check you
camera manual to see how
close to the subject you car

Ten Of the Is times this hand
was played, North South ended
up In o spade contract, earn
ing q poor match point score.
Played at spades. obviously a
club and q diamond must be
lost, but with hearts as trumps.
IL tricks are In the bag. After
losing one club trick, North
ruffs the remaining club, draws
trumps and pitches his losing
diamond on South's fifth spade.
Surest method of reaching
the superior heart contract de-
rives from q series Of cue bids.
East (dealer) opens with one
club, South doubles for a take
out, holding the requisite high
card strength and preparedness
for any suit partner might bid.
West passes. North, uncertain
as to which Of his two major
suits will provide the better
landing spot, now cue bids two
clubs.
While a bid of opponents
suit usually designates first or
second round control of that
suit, in this case, where North
is not a passed hand, it is both
an asking bid and a telling bid.
It announces a game-going
hand, asks partner to name his
best suit, and tells him to keep
the bidding open until game is
reached.
When South responds two
spades, North must not be
blinded by his fine spade hold
ing and leap to game. He
should reason that partner
might hold five spades and four
hearts, in which case hearts
would be the preferred trump
suit. Had South held four
hearts and four spades. he
would properly have responded
with hearts first. If South held
five hearts and five spades. he
should preferably overcall first
with spades over East's club
bid, preparing to show hearts
later.
North's correct bid over two
spades then is three hearts.
serving the dual purpose Of
showing partner the ace of that
suit and testing partner on his
heart holding. South. cheer
fully raises to four hearts.
An aggressive slam bidder in
the North seat will now make
a further slam try, bidding five
diamonds, showing the ace.
This bid cannot be passed,
since hearts have been agreed
upon. South now bids six dia-
monds, again showing second
round control. North con-
tracts for six hearts, a lay
down.
