Some Tips on Getting
Pictures of BOATING

changes caused by the boats
motion.
Boat movement also pre-.
sents somewhat of a hazard
so far as your camera and
equipment are concerned.
Don't forget that you might
have to make a quick grab
at something to keep your
own footing at a sudden or
unexpected roll Of the boat.
II your camera is not sus-
pended from your neck by its
carrying strap it can easily go
overheard. Other things, such
as lenses and accessories may
also get the deep six" If you
leave them lying around
loose. So keep all Of your
valuable equipment safe in q
carrying case or gadget bag
except while it is actually in
use.
When shooting pictures re-
member how the. background
will look. Unlike pictures
made ashore there will be no
trees, shrubs and the like
only large expanses Of sky
and water. So be sure to slip
a yellow or orange filter over
the lens If you are using
monochrome film. The filter
will pick up any cloud forma-
tons that are there and i'm
prove your pictures greatly
thereby.

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. ]. WEDDERBURN
Contributing Writer

Photography and boating
are a combination hard to
beat. Few subjects are as
pictorial as a boat, whether
it be under sail or power.
And, since boating is by far
and away the Nations most
popular family sport, it goes
without saying that pictures
Of boats and boating activi-
ties are being shot by the
thousands every day Of the
season.
If you own a boat, taking
pictures Of it-of the family
fishing from it or week.
ending on it will provide you
with not only lots Of fun
but also a fine record Of the
summers boating trips.
Even If you don't own a
boat you probably have a
friend who does. He will be
glad to have you take snap
shots Of his craft-especially
II you give him q duplicate
set Of prints.
Others will find pleasure
simply in a quiet camera trip
along some sleepy waterfront
swapping pictures Of the
sleek cruisers and sailing
boats at anchor or cruising
along within range Of the
camera lens.
Nearby RegattaS
And. If you like your ac-
ton fast and furious you can
have that, too. Just attend
some Of the regattas that are
coming up in the near future
on the Potomac or Chesa-
peake Bay areas.
Contrary to popular belief,
you won't have to have one
OF those ultra fast cameras to
do justice to boat photog-
raphy. Even the box camera
is capable Of making a set Of
good snapshots of boating &C
tivities-even of action, If you
use it properly.
For example. If you want
to shoot a picture of a passing
boat with your box camera
you can pan" the camera
in the direction that the sub
ject is moving. This will, Of
course, blur the background
but this will heighten the ef-
feet Of motion.
With speedier cameras you
can. If you wish, stop the
action dead and still have a
sharp background. Even with
these, we suggest that you
try a few shots at slow speed
and a panned-out background
for a different" type Of
picture.
Problem Of Motion
Once on board a boat you
will encounter a few problems
somewhat different from the
photography you are accus-
toned to on shore. Boat
motion is the big one.
AS your boat moves through
the water. particularly If the
water is rough, you will notice
that, through the viewfinder
of your camera, the horizon
will remain level only if your
camera is moved to compen-
safe for the pitch or roll of
the boat. Never try to shoot
pictures from q tripod from
your boat for this reason.
Hand-hold the camera and
keep your eye glued to the
finder while moving the cam
era to adjust to the horizon
