Audubon Puintinq

This years American paint
ing commemorative will re-
produce one of John j. Audu-
bon's famous bird prints,
Columbia Jays" from the
elephant folio" Of Birds Of
America. Born in 1785 on a
plantation in what is now
Haiti, he was educated in
France and came to the
United States as a young
man.
When several business ven
lures failed Audubon made
a trip down the Ohio and
Mississippi to study and
draw birds at close range.
His work has been criticized
by artists as too photograph
ic and by ornithologists as
too impressionistic, but it
nevertheless stands pre-emi-
nent in its field. BY the time
OF his death at his New York
estate in 1851 he was gen.
orally recognized as Ameri-
cas- foremost naturalist.

are any indication.
Whatever the reason, the
number Of snapshots in the

CORY is smaller than usual
this year. The color contri-
buttons in this class are
especially conspicuous by
their small numbers.
This being so, snapshots
Of this class have a proper

Backyard cook-outs, fast
becoming a major American
pastime in the good old sum-
mettime, are times for relax
ing with friends and family
fun times with many a Won
derful picture-taking oppor-
tunity.
Color movies are particu-
larly good for recording cook
outs, since they tell In a
warm, natural and connected
way the full story of such
delightful occasions.
A perfect sequence Of movie
shooting offers itself, for ex-
ample, as the host fires up
the charcoal, refreshments
are served, friends and fam
lily gather about.
Closeup shots will add a
great deal to your lookout
story. The steak sizzling on
the Goals, a guest enjoying
the feast, baby's antics at
the picnic table-all add in
terest to the movie when
they're pictured close UP.
Roll Film in Shade
In loading your camera,
especially If it's the roll film
type, be sure to load in the
shade so that no bright light
can filter through to the
film. To be sure that the
colorS you shoot will look
natural and true, be sure
that you use the correct lens
opening for the light by
which you're shooting. On
sunny days-the kind most
conducive to cooking out
adjust the lens setting

- unless you're on the beach,
water Or snow, where the

smaller lens opening.
Hold your camera close to
your eye to see the entire
area of the viewfinder frame
so your subjects will not APP
pear too far away. To make
sure that the cameras spring

sure to wind the camera after

very slowly. holding your
camera steady. Those who
don't pan" carefully will
have some jerky, dull and
uninteresting movies to view
later on.
Make II a Story
Even in shooting slides or
snapshots with your still
camera, It's a good idea to
have your pictures tell a
story. Snap the party prep
arations, people arriving, eat
ing, drinking, the cooking
operations - even the clean
ing up afterwards.
If the party is being held
In the bright sunlight, therell
be no problem with lighting
for your still camera shots.
However, some of the people
enjoying your lookout are
bound to be in the shade at
least a part of the time. II
the subject is in open shade
with a wide angle of clear
sky overhead and in front
and you're using Kodachrome
film, daylight type, set the
shutter of your adjustable
camera at a speed Of 1925 or
1880 Of a second and the lens
opening at f/3.5.
On the other hand, If your
lookout party subjects are in
the bright sun, there are
problems that need solving,
too. Here's where some fill-in
flash will help you produce
some really outstanding pic
lures. Fill-in flash helps
avoid ugly frowns and
squints because the person
you're swapping doesn't have
to look into the sun. All the
colors, details and high
lights that would normally
be in the shade become crisp
and lively, standing out in
the light Of the blue flash
bulb.
Use Normal Exposure
Shooting with fill-in flash
simply requires that you set
the camera for normal SUM-
light exposure for the film
you're using. Put a blue bulb
in your flash holder. If you're
from 8 to Is feet from the
person you're swapping, shoot
the picture with the sun
shining on the subjects side
or back. If you get as close
as 6 or 8 feet away, place a
layer of clean, white hand
kerchief over the reflector to
cut down the amount of fill
in light. This helps to avoid
overexpoSure on the front of
the person you're picturing.
Whatever you do, have
enough film and bulbs on
hand-and be sure you have
your camera handy and
loaded.
The next time your bar
becue group gets together,
show the movies, slides and
snapshots. You may be sur
prised to see how much fun
you've saved for the second
time around. For an extra
touch, try offering your
friends a souvenir print of
the lookout party.

What, a Funny Stamp?
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

5eaA swamp huieOT
Stamp designing is a pretty
serious business.
Unless, Of course, the de-
signer happens to be Norman
Rockwell and the Postmaster
General is j. Edward Day.
This fall the Post Office
Department will issue a
stamp to commemorate the
centennial of city mail de-
livery. The design is going to
remind a lot Of people of an
old Saturday Evening Post
cover.
1t shows a mustachioed
letter carrier of the 1905,
protected by an umbrella and
bracketed by a grinning boy
and a nondescript dog, both
racing by him at full speed.
The humor is more likely
to evoke a smile than a belly
laugh, but the picture Is
funny. and that alone repre-
sents a revolution In stamp
design in the United States,
or almost anywhere else ex-
cept Tunisia. where Hatim
Elmekki and his disciples
have been using humor as a
design element for the last
five or six years.
The stamp isn't Rockwell's
first. AS a veteran designer
of Boy Scout calendars he
was asked to do the Boy
Scout Golden Jubilee COM
memorative of 1860. This
time the inspiration came
from a field in which he is
even better known-as the
creator of the wryly humor-
Gus covers of the Saturday
Evening Post showing ordi-
nary people in ordinary but
somewhat frustrating Situa-
tions.
Rockwell's completed art
work didn't show the boy and
dog which had been in his
earlier sketches. But postal
officials, who have to be
properly solemn about most
commemorative, decided
they couldn't be criticized too
much for laughing at them
selves. So back went the
sketch for the final humorous
touches.
The stamp will be printed
in red for the "City Mail
Delivery 1863-1963" and the
denomination, blue for the
United States" and gray
for vignette.
Free delivery of mail was
authorized by Congress in
legislation effective July /,
1868, for cities of more than
10000 population or with
postal revenue of more than
$4,000. The plan, developed
by Joseph William Briggs Of
Cleveland, was put into eff
feet gradually. BY the end
of the first year of carrier
operation, IS cities provided
such service, employing 685
carriers.

with a large red. white and
