All my life, I've admired the works of such painters as Renoir and Degas and Monet. I recently began experimenting with still lifes in photography, although I'm only an amateur. My question is, what type ol lighting do I need to create quality still life photos? Can I get by without spending a fortune on special equipment? Any advice you can give me will be much appreciated. A: About the best I can do for you in your efforts to hold costs down is to suggest three necessary items: a camera, some film, and Old Sol. I know that sounds facetious, but it's really not. If you think about it for a moment, some of the most highly regarded still lifes in all of photography have come to us from the early photographers, the pioneers in the art, who were equipped with nothing more. Admittedly, their cameras were sometimes fitted with swings and tilts for perspective control. Still, a creative creative mind, the right light, and an interesting subject teamed up to produce quality still lifes, even on primitive film. You're much better off than early practitioners of the art form, bv far. Ÿou hâve color or black-and-white film from which to choose. In high-light situations, you can select a slow, fine ■ grained film. And, while many professional industrial and commercial commercial photographers use bulky, sometimes complicated systems and arrangements of artificial' lighting to insure results, results, you can rely on whatever happens to be available. Photographing still lifes is one ol the best ways possible of sharpening your compositional skills while creating original, often poetic, touching photos. Still lifes are simply arrangements arrangements of inanimate objects. They can be totally candid, objects objects you happen to stumble across and wish to record on film, or manipulated. And the really nice thing is that you can search for still, lifes wherever you happen to go, from your own basement to secluded beaches. The nice thing.about photographing still lifes is that you have plenty of time to think about what you're doing. All too often, amateur photographers grow attuned to firing-off frame after frame of film, barely stopping to consider the consequences consequences of what they're doing. When you shoot a still life, you're practically forced to slow down, to look over all the elements in the scene, to consider lighting and shadows, form, movement, contrast, colors. And, if the light is okay but not marvelous, consider adding or subtracting whenever necessary. You can use a large sheet of posterboard to cast a shadow to lower the contrast in a scene -- or a reflective sheet or fill electronic flash to raise the contrast. Just be sure you take time to meter carefully and focus critically on the most important part of the scene. Often, it helps to use a small lens aperture to get good depth- of-field. So go to it, and have fun! Q: I have one ol those sonar-focusing instant-print cameras which I really enjoy, except for one thing. Whenever I try photographing the birds at the feeder outside my kitchen window, the shots come out blurry. What am I doing wrong? A: Oops! You didn't read the camera's instruction manual or you'd know that sonar doesn't penetrate glass and some other materials (like window screens, etc.). For a properly focused shot, either turn the sonar off and focus manually or open the window when using the sonar. But don't let the birds in, or you'll be faced with another problem altogether!

"We went to East and West Germany for three weeks. We have relatives over there," said Anita Miehe-Balling of Bowmanville. Bowmanville. "We liked the people. They were really friendly. We liked the history, the food, and the wine." The big choices for Bow- .manville vacationers are Expo or family-oriented ventures like camping and visiting relatives as near as Oshawa or as far as Europe. "We are going camping at Lake Rosseau near Minnett for five days," said Jerry Newell. "This is the second time we've been there. They have things like horseback riding, swimming, archery, ceramics, and leather craft.".-/-' "We are going for a week on our motorcycle," said Marcie Sully, "We will be going to Lake Placid, and then into the mountains near Vermont. We'll be coming back to our cottage after." "We are taking a 10 day vacation," vacation," said Florence Nadau. "We're heading down to Kingston. We'll probably go to the 1000 Islands, Islands, and places like that." Several people are not lucky enough to have a summer summer vacation for one reason or another, but Peggy Milli- ken did not consider it unlucky unlucky at all. "I'm not a summer traveller," traveller," said Peggy Milliken who works at the Strath Manor retirement home. "I had my vacation during the fall." Whether the slow start in the overseas tourism industry industry at the beginning of the summer months can be blamed on an increase in terrorism is not known. However the season, which began slowly, has again picked up speed and the number of bookings. are back to a normal level for this time of year. As it is, a lot of the Bowmanville Bowmanville residents are quite content-to spend their vacation at home or in a nearby area where they have nothing to think about. Here they will spend their time doing next to nothing while enjoying the time they have to relax in the rays of the sun. After all, isn't that what a vacation is supposed to be? Amended By-law Will Control Special Events by Rob Savage All good.things must come to an end, especially if they're good and loud. This was the message from the General Purpose Committee during last Monday's Monday's meeting. Councillors approved an amendment to a by-law which limits the amount of time private property owners can have to throw loud special events. If approved by town council, council, by-law 84-63 will be amended to say that any person who uses his private property for a fair, exhibition, exhibition, carnival, regatta, religious religious or musical festival, or recreational competition can have a total of seven day's worth of events, with no one event lasting more than three days. The by-law will also put an onus on property owners to give a warning of the event 30 days in advance to all neighbors within a 120 metre distance. The argument for tougher by-laws was presented to the committee by Ron Strike, a lawyer who opposed opposed the number of tractor pulling events which were going to be held by James Coombes. Mr. Strike actually wanted tougher limits than those approved by the committee. committee. He said people planning loud events should only have a maximum of three days for their activities. He said seven days allows a person to theoretically hold three events in one year. He said most neighbors neighbors would be opposed to this. "You can't turn this place into a Mosport," he said. Mr. Strike argued that people planning loud events "have to find some way to cope with the temporary temporary nature of the event." While the committee did not accept his proposed restriction restriction of three days for the events, they did agree that neighbors should be contacted and that no one event should be allowed to go for more than three days. And they also supported his argument that a distinction distinction should be made between between loud and quiet events, proposing that no restrictions be imposed on the number of quiet events which can be held in addition addition to the loud ones.

Gordon J. Ougli, Director, Public Works Department, Corporation of the Town of Newcastle. First date of publication July 16, 1986 by Rob Savage People buying new residential residential lots in Orono may soon be warned that their drinking water has dangerously dangerously high levels ofsodium. The first proposed warning warning was an amendment to a rezoning by-law which was approved during Monday's General Purpose Committee Committee meeting. During that meeting, it was argued that the high levels of sodium in the water might be a good reason to reject the by-law. Those seeking the by-law on behalf of the Estate of Mary Ethel Lycett wanted the land severed for two new additional lots. Some councillors debated debated whether it would be right to approve the construction construction of new residential homes in an area where it's known the water might be dangerous. But others felt it would be wrong to deny the application application to the owners of the estate estate when the sodium problem problem has existed for some time. Planning Director Terry Edwards said the existing information about the water provided no basis for denying the rezoning application. application. But he also admitted there could be legal ramifications ramifications if council approved development and the water is later found to be bad. The heart of the problem is that there is no set standard standard to judge levels of sodium. Engineers testing the area found the level of sodium in the water to be 10 times higher than the normally normally acceptable amount. But they could not say the amount was too much, since no maximum limits actually exist. The high levels could be dangerous to people with heart problems or high blood pressure, and some people in the area have already already been warned by doctors doctors not to drink the water. No official standards exist yet, although the Ministry" of the Environment Environment is looking into the problem. Mr. Edwards said the only safe way to judge the water is to put wells into the ground and test the water. The committee considered an amendment which would require the owners of the estate to put wells in before the application could be approved. But most councillors felt such an. amendment would be unfair) ' XV'~ : ' Councillor Krank Staple- ton said it would be wrong to ask thè people to dig two wells at $7000 each when wells have never been a requirement requirement in the past. He also said the amend ment would set a precedent that could cause trouble for council in the future. And Councillor Diane Ham re argued that even if wells were put in, there would still be no way of knowing if the water is safe to drink or not. "In whose opinion will lhatsodium level be acceptable?" acceptable?" she asked the committee. committee. Councillor Marie Hubbard Hubbard said the development shouldn't be used to set an example. "I just have a lot ofdifficulty with what we're doing here," she said. She told the committee that most of the wells have serviced the people in Orono for years in spite of the high levels of sodium. The proposed amendment amendment was lost, and the committee committee voted instead to include include a warning for prospective prospective buyers of the new lots that the sodium level is high. Planner May Present Plans To Courticeites by Rob Savage Residents in Courtice may soon be invited to a public forum to discuss some new roads and the development development of a park. Planning Director Terry Edwards was given, the go- ahead at last Monday's General General Purpose Committee meeting to send his proposals proposals to the region and the City of Oshawa for approval and then to bring his recommendations recommendations to council. Once council has been informed informed of the plans, Mr. Edwards Edwards would then hold a public hearing where Courtice Courtice residents could react to his ideas. The present plans involve the development of some collectors roads in the north end of Courtice and the creation of a continuous road in the south end which would act as the main road for the town. Mr. Edwards said the advantage advantage of the main road in the south end is that it would not disturb local residents. residents. He also plans to make a park out of the parkette at Townline Road and Hwy. 2 beside the Farewell Creek. Mr. Edwards had initially requested the committee give him the approval to set up a public hearing where he would present the criticisms criticisms and approvals he re- ceivéd from the region and Oshawa. But the committee decided he should report back to council first and an amendment for a special meeting' with council was added to his approved proposal. proposal. -k A>- \ / 11 "4 % : * X4r'*, ;/ T V >•" "v>r QAtee - QAMding Susan Anne Best and Ronald Gordon White were united in marriage by Reverend Robin Thomson on Saturday, June 7th, 1986 in Eldad United Church.
