CAMERA ANGLES
BY ALEXANDER J.
WEDDERBURN

Inc Smithsonlan institution
Picturing a flower with a
camera is not unlike taking a
portrait Of a person.
In flower photography we
attempt to bring out the per-
sonality of the blossom as well
as obtain an attractive like
ness.
A true flower lover gets a
real thrill when he grows a
special blossom in his garden.
He will gain even greater en-
Joyment., from a permanent
record in a beautiful color
shot or a sparkling black-and-
white print.
At the same time, photo
graphs of either kind will en-
able the grower to judge the
pictorial effect of various
paintings and to study decora-
tive garden design, pattern,
and the rotation of flowers In
the garden.
Devices Aid Close
Flower photography pre-
sents no great problems es-
pecially if closeup attach
ments are used in conjunc-
ton with the normal lens in
taking close-upS. A number of
these devices, such as the
Kodak Portra Lens, are on the
market which permit a much
larger image than one can or
dinarily obtain.
The 35-mm. camera is popu-
lar in flower photography since
1t produces the familiar 2x2
color slides. Even with the
larger cameras it is sometimes
possible to employ an adapter
for 1876 or 1913 color film.
Otherwise if the camera takes
film in one of the popular $40,
100, 1877, GIG. l16 or 1923 sizes,
other color films can be used
to produce full color prints.
Even black-and-white pam
chromatic films will give excel
lent pictures. 1t is almost al
ways advisable to use tripod
when taking pictures of floral
subjects. This is especially i'm
portant when making ex-
posures at 1/25th second or
less. The tripod will help
maintain the exact compost
ton you want in any case.
AS in all photography, light
ing is very important for best

results. Side lighting m flower
photography is much better
when the sun is directly over
head. When the day is hazy or
when the sun is behind a cloud
you will get better results than
when in the glare of direct
sunlight. For the best flower
pictures, made by natural light,
do your camera work in the
early morning or late after
noon. A few dew-drops, real
or artificial, will add to the
illusion Of freshness.
Flowers turn toward the
sun. Therefore the camera
should be placed to show the
delicate shadows cast by parts
of the blossoms and by sur
rounding foliage. In color
photography. particularly, it
is important that these shad-
ows are not too dark. You
should, therefore. use some sort
Of reflector-a large sheet of
white paper will do-to cast
light into the shadow areas
and balance the color rendi-
ton.
Use Few Subject Blooms
An excellent rule for COM
position of flowers in photog-
raphy is not to include too
many blooms in one picture.
One or three blossoms in a
closeup render a more pleasing
effect than many blossoms.
Even numbers of flowers do not
lend themselves well to good
composition.
Some specialists concentrate
on single blossoms while 9TH
ers enjoy picturing small
groups Of flowers arrange
ments. An occasional picture
OF entire banks of flowers or
particularly attractive borders
or corners of a garden is in
order.
Whenever possible use an
absolutely plain background.
This can be accomplished by
arranging an artificial back
ground of smooth cloth of
some neutral tint. a cardboard
OF a window shade. Or you
can lower your camera angle
until the sky is the backdrop
for your flower picture.
