BY A. J. WEDDERBURN
Curator OF Photography.
the Smithsonian Institution


Shortly after the an
nouncement, years ago, of
full-color movie film for
amateur movie cameras,
Photographic pundits, with
an eye more toward rigid
la aboratory specifications
than toward free and easy
field use, announced that no
color movies should be made
before 9 am. or after 4 pm.
The recorded colors were
too warm, they warned.
Things tended to appear a
bit on the red side not
at all the way they regis
tered when shot at or near
midday.
They we're right-in a way.
Things did indeed look a
little warm. Compilations
were ruddier. Shadows were
deeper. All colors were
richer. Scenics acquired
depth and perspective.
Color film. in fact, real
istically captured and added
beauty lent by the Slanting
rays Of a sun on its way up
or down the most attrac-
tive time of day to color film.
Midday Is Poorest
And these experts were also
right-in a way-when they
said that objects filmed early
or late in the day did not
look like those shot around
noon.
Praise be-for midday is
the poorest of all times to
make pictures. Any pictures.
With any film. For this is
the period of the day when,
in scenics, shadows are ali
buttoned up beneath trees
and buildings.
Everything looks fiat. And
this is the time when humans
acquire eye shadows which
give them an appearance best
described as two burnt holes
in blanket.
Exposure? No change
from par, until the sun really
approaches the horizon. Par,
Of course, is the old depend
able f/8 for average colored
subjects in direct sunlight.
For while the sun, filtering
through the ground haze that
gives it ruddiness, may not
be as strong as at midday.
1t is ricocheting more directly
of your targets and back into
your lens.
How Low Is Sun?
When still lower, the sun
becomes obviously DINNER, as
your eye can see. You allow
for it by opening up the lens
a little. Just how much de-
pends upon how low the sun
is-and a little experience,
as usual. is your best teacher.
When the sun is quite close
to the horizon, you will, of
course, no longer be able to
make movies by its light.
And the time has arrived for
the most colorful pictures of
all . movies of the sun. In
short-sunriSes or sunsets.
Normal exposure estimates,
for these subjects go out the
window. The range may vary
from say f/5.6 to wide open,
depending on the speed of
your film and the light.
If the suns up-bright. yet
partly hidden by clouds so
that you can look at it with
out eye strain, the chances
