CAMERA ANGLES
By ALEX. J. WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography


The Smithsonian Institution
Jack Frost will be having
his innings for the next month
or 30. spinning magic webs Of
white that make fine subjects
for the camera. Snow, ice and
and frost patterns are so diff
ferent from the usual run of
Photographic subjects that
they merit special treatment.
Some fine winter morning
we will wake to find every
thing covered with q feathery
blanket Of snow and we will
be filled with an urge to take
pictures Of 1t.
II we stop long enough to
consider the cold, and slush
and the other attending dis
comforts Of q snow-blanketed
world. we may well turn back
to the fireside and a good
book.
There's still another cogent
reason for taking quick camera
action with new-fallen snow.
In the city particularly, 1t
doesn't take long for a Aim
Of SCOT to transform the sur
face Of the snow into a dingy,
dirty appearance that takes
away the snap and sparkle we
expect from snow scenes.
Up Before the Sun
Your best pictures will be
taken before the sun gets a
chance to get to work. Just
after snow has stopped falling
you will find 1t clinging like a
feathery film to every twig
and branch or other object.
Then 1t is at its pictorial best.
At little later the individual
crystals will begin to melt and
run together into a more solid
mass that is not nearly as at
tractive for the purposes Of
photography.
Since snow will present an
almost uniform white area
with only a few darks or
shadows. care must be taken
to prevent the negative from
being too fiat. Again. this is
another good reason for shoot
ing early while the sun is still
low in the sky. At this time.
and again in the late after
noon, you will find that the
low sun will cast interesting
shadow patterns across the
otherwise unbroken expanse of
white. Photographed with an
overhead sun snow scenes will
be a fiat and uninteresting
blob of white.
Considering that overexpo-
sure will block up highlight
areas. every effort should be
made to obtain an accurate
exposure. If any error should
be made it should be on the
side OF underexposure. Too
much under and the snow will
have a dirty. grimy appear
ance. To be sure of getting
what you want. try taking
three separate shots Of each
scene. One at what YOU be-
lieve to be the right exposure;
another at one stop above this:
and another at one stop below.
One of the three will almost
certainly present you with a
fine negative. full of crisp
and sparkling detail.
Frost Patterns
Should this turn out to be
one Of those snowless winters,
we can still turn the cold to
good use. If you will closely
observe the frost patterns that
form overnight on the window
panes you will find another ex-
cellent. winter subject for the
lens TO record.
Like snowflakes themselves,
frost patterns that form on
glass are myriad in form and

Regional Action

Harland Bartholomew, chairman Of the
National Capital Planning Commission,
warned officials recently that the entire
metro area must stop thinking of open
spaces in terms of esthetics, and start look
ing at them in terms of economics.
AS we pointed out earlier, however, the
insidious nature of the problem is that its
dangers do not become apparent until urban
growth has priced open spaces out of the
market. Within the next few years. for
example, sewer extensions already approved
in nearby Maryland will open up for inten-
sive development more than 10000 acres Of
rural landau acreage as big as the entire
District of Columbia. Increased land values
officials say. already are placing open spaces
in these areas out of reach.
The best way to begin earlier action for
the future, Mr.. Bartholomew believes, is to
develop regional plan which will show the
most likely open areas on which to center
attention. There are four other reasons
officials say open spaces should be consid-
cred on a regional basis They are:
. The possibilities of pooling resources to
develop large areas to serve as regional
parks for several jurisdictions.
. The necessity that areas with unique
natural assets-like land bordering the Poto-
mac River-be developed to benefit the
entire community.
. Exchange of information on new TECH
niques to acquire and preserve open spaces.
Joint action to explore possibilities of
increased Federal aid, through extensions
Of such legislation as the Capper- Cramton
Act
London, Ottawa and Stockholm are
among other capitals of the world which
have devoted tremendous attention to the
preservation of open space. All three have
reserved huge areas of open space to control
urban development. One of their main
reasons for doing so has been to prevent
excessive population from overburdening
municipal services like transportation sys-
TENS, and these moves have been extremely
effective.
The Washington metro has not vet
begun even to think of open spaces in terms
this drastic. The hopeful thing, however,
is that for the first time a tremendous
amount of talk has begun about the need
to act.
