CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. ]. WEDDERBURN
contirbuting Writer


Our subject this week will
be reflectors. It will not be
long before droves Of camera
fans, released from the
clutch of the worst winter
in our memory, will be
shooting film in great guam
titles out Of doors.
Deep black shadows, par
ticularly in close-ups, are
responsible for uncounted
thousands Of sad snapshots
that were made by the light
Of the sun. Indoors, most
photographers have learned
that it is necessary to bal
ance their lights to get a
good picture. But once out
side many seem to believe
that only the sun Is needed
to produce q satisfactory
result. Such is not always
the case.
The best Of exposure
calculations cannot compen-
safe for an unbalanced d
lighting that will leave one
side Of the subjects face in
deep shadow so that much
detail is lost in the negative
and It's resulting print.
Poor Mans Method
In such q situation many
resort to the nashgun to
build up a balanced lighting
but the same result can be
obtained by the poor-man's
method of balancing a con-
TRASHY lighting with a simple,
easy-to-make reflector.
Properly used, q reflector
will balance your lighting
outdoors just as a fill-in
light will do the same Job
and without the continu-
ing expense.
Here's how to make one
at a very modest cost: You
should start off with a steet
Of plywood which should be
sawed down the center and
then rejoined with hinges.
This is done so that the
reflector can be transported
in a small space. If hinged
as suggested, you can fold
the reflector and carry 1t in
your car trunk or back seat.
Also use a hook-and-eye
latch to hold it together and
q handle for hand carrying.
The inner side Of the re-
flector can be covered with
silver or aluminium foil that
will produce a brilliant light
for filling in large areas.
Use an aluminium paint on
the outer side for soft light
ing effects for close-ups and
medium shots. Before apply
ing either foil or paint be
sure to coat the raw board
surface twice with shellac.
NaturaliSm Sought
One important rule to keep
in mind is that natural light
ing effects must be achieved.
Indoor light may come from
almost any direction and
still seem perfectly normal
because We have become &C
customed to lamps, overhead
fixtures and all other manner
Of lighting arrangements in
side.
But outdoors, except under
rare conditions, we have
come to expect the light to
come from the sun. Accord

Voted Best Design
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

The Japanese Treaty Cen

in q poll which drew 27,062
votes from collectors.
The pink and blue stamp

the Design Derby conducted

Its closest competitors were
the Pony Express stamp with
3,490 votes and the Olympics
issue with 3,224.
The Japan stamp design
was the work Of Miss Gyo
Fujikawa, an American artist
of Japanese parentage now
working as a free lance Illus
traitor in New York.
Worst design of the year,
in the opinion Of 28.1 per
cent Of the voters, was the
World Refugee Year issue, a
symbolic design in black
showing q refugee group in a
long, dark hallway leading to
an open doorway. Second
choice in the category was
the Boys Club stamp with
1876 per cent.

the reflector at a high anglss
rather than down low on

The reflector should be so
placed as to face the sun.

Soften Shadows
If your subject is wearing Fl

some light from your re-"

you have a round, wer-bal- .

However, don't use so much
reflected light that all the

so will only produce a flat

mended without reservation.

so perfectly it is awesome.
The record is labeled "Serata
Napoletana" and features
works of AlesSandro Scar
latti. Leo, Durante and Per-
goleSi in the concerto form.
Simply wonderful!
Lately the Philadelphia
Orchestra, which has re-
corded almost everything
possible it sometimes seems,
has been dabbling in strings.
And successfully, as two CO.
lumbia discs will prove. One
is titled, "Serenade for
Strings" and includes
Tchaikovsky's masterpiece
by that name, Borodin's
heavenly Nocturne from his
quartet. Vaughan Williams
Fantasia on GreensleeveS
and Barber'S Adagio for
Strings. A good one.
No. 3 will be welcomed by
all who remember our Isaac
Stern and Russia's David
Oistrakh teaming up in vi
valdi and Bach not long ago.
Now they are heard again in
four Vivaldi concertos with
the Philadelphians and Eu-
gene Ormandy. and it is

Comment from the CopifoI
RANDOM THOUGHTS ON THE AMERICAN SCENE

Seems to me we get some
funny ideas about fame here in
America. Someone gets to be
a sports champion and the first
thing we ask him is his advice
on political matters. It's the
same thing that makes Premier
khrushehev an authority on
dancing. They say he didn't like
the dancing in "Can-Can." Too
racy. Sat smiling while they
made one whole scene, though.
" y
If Fidel Castro thinks maybe
we're jerks, sometimes it seems
easy to agree. Here we are pay
ing more for Cuban sugar than
all the rest of the world, yet
Castro can thumb his nose at US
whenever he wants. But every
dictator has to have a scape-
goat, and Castro doesn't have
Batista any more - so it looks
like the United States is taking
Batista's place as whipping
boy. To get back to that sugar
- we pay Mr. Castro a price
that makes him many millions
a year more than we need to
pay him at the regular world
price. His attacks make a body
wonder how he'd react if we
paid just what Russia pays, for
instance - if the United States
was only paying just what it
had to pay for sugar?
AS far as most countries in
the world are concerned, we're
rich old Uncle Sam. Maybe they
even call us Uncle Sap behind
our backs. But it's interesting
to see how many countries want
us to invest in all kinds of bust
nesses there. They're all smil-
ing when they talk to us about
Investing. But all this smiling
gives us something to wonder
about - how long after Invest

raised its voice to huge Rus
STA? 1t makes you wonder what
would happen if some of our
smaller neighbors today, who
seem to be so anti-American,
were to do their complaining
about Russial Wonder if the
Premier would be as tolerant
about it as Ike is?
Way back in the Bolshevik
days, there was no question
about people in the Soviet be-
ing poor, and great many of
them hardly having enough to
eat. But it comes to light now,
in the newspapers, that from
the very first, the Russians
have kept millions of dollars
stashed all over the world,
simply for the purpose of con-
verting people in every walk of
life to the Soviet, Communist
idea. The working-propaganda
fund, they tell us, is bigger to-
day than it ever was. Just
makes you wonder how many
people in Communist-dominat-
ed countries are going around
poorly-clothed and ill-fed.
Came on a wonderful thing the
other day, how lots of compa-
MES in America are starting
programs, or already have
them, to teach their employees
about politics. Time was when
politics was a dirty word in
business, and the change is a
good one. Because today politics
touches our everyday lives all
the time. And the more we all
know about politics these days,
the better citizens we're bound
to become. And where better
to learn about politics than
among the people we work
with?
