CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. J. WEDDERBURN
curstor Of Photography

AdO OhAAeAAcchAah AhotthttoH
BY adding the illusion of
depth an otherwise nat, dull
snapshot can often be made
dramatic, even impressive.
This, Of course. has to be done
in the camera as the picture is
being made.
You can't shoot SD pictures
with the regular single-lens
camera, but there are some
simple techniques any picture
taker can use that will Great
an illusion Of depth or space
in an ordinary picture.
Your point of view often
makes the difference. Suppose,
for instance, you want to pic
ture a couple Of lads playing
catch with a baseball. For an
ordinary run-of -the-mill snap
shot you might stand between
the two so that one would be
on the left Of your viewfinder
and the other on the right.
Now. although this might be
considered as a good shot. there
would be nothing unusual or
exciting about the resulting
picture.
Now try the same scene from
a different angle. Stand with
in about 4 feet of one of the
boys so that his back and legs
fill up one margin. The other
lad will then become a rather
small figure quite a few feet
away. Such an exaggerated
difference between the size of
your two subjects makes a
radically different sort Of
picture. Certainly it will be
one that gives an immediate
definition Of space.
Light Adds Depth
Another way to inject depth
into your snapshots is to take
advantage Of lighting condi-
tions that lend themselves to
this kind Of photography.
Light can definitely give a
feeling Of depth and dimension
to any object If used properly.
For example. in making a
picture o. a building, don't do
1t during the middle of Of the
day when the sun is high
enough so that little or no
shadow is cast. Instead, make
your snapshots in the early
morning or late afternoon,
when one side Of the building
will be In deep shadow. Then.
II both a brilliant sun-lit side
is included and also a shad-
owed part Of the structure,
the stark. contrasting planes
viii also suggest great depth.
Intervening objects
Still another way to secure
that Illusion Of depth is to
make use Of objects that inter-
rupt q direct view and thereby
imply distance or space. For
instance. if you're picturing
. house framed by a back
ground Of trees shoot it from
across the lawn. Let a fence,
stone wall or line of trees cut
across the view horizontally,
between you and the house in
the distance. Such interrupt
ing forms may very we'll help
to indicate the space between
the camera and the house. In
more confined quarters other
objects Of smaller size, such as
furniture or the like can be
effectively used for the same
purpose.
Converging lines are always
effective when used IN a pic
ture to give it apparent depth.

His first great opportunity
came in 1925 when he was as
signed command of the Naval
Aviation unit of three am
phibian planes sent to the Arctic
with the Mcmillan expedition.
The purpose of this expedition
was to hunt for certain large
islands supposed to exist in un-
charted sections Of the northern
ocean.
Plans Polar Flight
Back in Washington Admiral
Byrd again was retired from the
together with Floyd Ben
nett. his pilot on the Arctic
flights. The two at once started
for a flight across
the North Pole.

over the pole. For this exploit
the future admiral received the
Congressional Medal Of Honor
and was given permanent rank
as a commander.
Hardly was Byrd back from
the pole than he was practically
forced by public opinion to at
tempt a New York-Paris fight,
for which a $4,000 prize had
been offered. He started prepa-
ration with the same type OF
tri-motored Fokker which had
carried him across the Arctic.
A series Of accidents, in one Of
which Bennett was seriously liz
jured, delayed the fight. Mean
while. both Charles Cindbergh
and Clarence Chamberlain made
successful flights to Paris.

break of World War I he was
transferred to Washington, but
soon talked his way out OF Q

his wings he began thinking OF
the possibility Of making a trans

Byrd Explorations Added

tools Of his trade-such the pioneered

unjust criticisms because of this
very lack of common ground be-
tween him and most of the rest
of mankind.
Constantly Looked Ahead
He never considered an end to
his career of adventure. No
sooner was the great Antarctic
of ls47 finished than
he was busy planning for an
other a year hence, a fight
straight across the Antarctic
continent from New Zealand to
Africa in a long range bomber.
1t is noteworthy that those
who knew Byrd best admired him
most and had the most conf
.dence in him. No man under his
direct command ever lost his life
on any Byrd expedition.
Considered Philosophy
Admiral Byrd was primarily a
mystic. His mysticism found ex-
Ipression in flight. He became a
great explorer.
In another age he might have
been a great philosopher, great
Ipoet-perhaps, think. a great
saint.
During what he describes as
I"those futile years" which fol-
lowed his graduation from An
Inapolis he fumbled for a field of
adventure in which he could
make for himself a distinguished
icareer-and he had about de-
cided to become a professional
philosopher. He even consulted,
and received announcement from
Alfred North Whitehead. the
British mathematical theorist,
perhaps the most brilliant and
original philosopher of his gener-
&
alton.
Chance turned Admiral Byrd
instead to aviation. He had been
attracted to philosophy, as he
was later attracted to explora-
ton. because it would take him
to places man never had been
before.
A Fitting Epitaph
can think of no better cpl
taph for him than the expression
which was forever on his tongue
during the l947 expedition: Be
yond the South Pole"
1t has been charged that Byrd
lived for glory. For five years
during World War II he was en-
gagged in the most perilous sort
of secret military mission of
which the public heard no word
at the time.
Byrd explored the Southeast
Pacific in an old gunboat, in
specting islands as possible sites
for airstrips. The result was a
new air route from the Panama
Canal area to Australia.
