v; The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, October 8,1986 3 Campbeüt! - TTagtioft bedding « F#CUS Recording Ùn-naturalness of Nature Think about her lor a minute. There she stands in all her resplendent, resplendent, natural, orderly glory. Not a hair out of place, not a color unco-or- dinated. She is storybook perfect. She is nature. II that's the way you think of the naturalness of things, I think you've been watching too many G-rated movies. Go outside and take a look around -- a good look. What you'll find is glory, alright. But there's nothing about it that's "naturally orderly" or co-ordinated. In fact, at times, nature can be downright chaotic, even ugly... at least in the ^.conventional sense of the words. _ Thank" goodness, too. For if naiure were nothing but purple mountains, mountains, majesty and fruited plains, we'd soon be bored to the point of signing into ihe Funny Farm. There isn't much in nature, according to my observations, that is truly predictable, orderly, and co-ordinated. Surely, those things make for "nice" photos. But "nice" isn't "great," and it's time everyone who ever pointed a camera began to realize that., One of the true joys of naiure lies in her diversity. When disharmony and grotesqueness can be accepted for their own peculiar form of "beauty," then we're onto something. Photographing natural subjects offers a challenge unlike any other. Finding suitable photographic - subjects -- even in the chaos and "un-naturalness" of nature -- is where the challenge ends and the rewards begin. You can'do it by- , training yourself to see creativply^lo-dacover visually editingTgrms ' and elements that less castdBgjte ireA'mçs. >-T: There are no hard-and-lasJ, J rulpp.,tgJoltgw. Some p»plb; might * argue that there aren't evem'any guidelines. In a way.rfmat's true. $_ Each subject- photographed^eqüItèï'S^'ique and create irfterpre-.y talion and approach. Shooting thé moss on a rock with a nomral lens under fiat, straight-on lighting, forexample, will give you a photograph of moss-on a rock, Shoolirig.that very same subject with a ; macro lens under strongly directional sidelighting mby.well give you a mysterious, mysterious, exciting, thought-provoking abstractionist rendering of the ' subject. Similarly, photographing a few scruffy blades of grass poking lheir way out of a sandy beach can be a boring shot, indeed, when taken from standing height with the sun directly overhead, But get down on'yourbelly to capture the shot half an hour before sunset, and- you'll find a whole new world is the result. That, in a nutshell, is what creative natural photography is all about -- recording on film the most-interesting and provocative rendering of a very natural subject... making it appear, in short, un-natural. That, in turn,- stifs the imagination to look for another scene within tlie scene. Is jt really moss on a rock... or a virgin forest shot from 5,000 feet? Is it really grass in the sand ... or a Calder sculpture set. against the white concrete of some city mall? As photographer, you become the recorder of life around you. As creative photographer, you become as much an artist as any painter or sculptor. You can be selective about the natural forms you choose to put on film by being selective about the way you choose to record therp. You can exaggerate an abstract image by using a telephoto lens'; you can isolate a very small part of the image from the whole with a macro lens; you can distort the image with a super-wide-angle legs or fisheye. And that is only the beginning. ' " Here are some other means of creatively recording nature beyond mere change of lens. 1. ) Camera Angle. Look carefully before yob shoot. A direct overhead overhead shot lends an entirely different feel to a scene than a low-angle shot.. 2. ) Angle of Light. Remember that straight-on light has tendency to flatten out an image, decreasing shadows and highlights and rendering rendering most elements in Ihe scene equally. Strong angled light -- called sidelighting--emphasizes shadows and highlights and creates much more depth in the scene, often leading lo fantasy-like recordings that leave the imagination reeling. 3. ) Soft Focus. This is accomplished by using a specially constructed constructed solt-focus Ions or filter or by placing a clear filter smeared with a'translucenl substance (like petroleum jelly) over the camera 1 lens. You can also experiment with shooting through plexiglass, soda- bottle (bottoms, nylon stockings stretched tautly across the lens, etc. The rqsull is an abstract, ethereal image. 4. ) Selective Focus This Is done by focusing on only that part of tire scene you wish to be In sharp locus and then using a wide enough lens aperture to throw the rest of Ihe scene out of focus, thus drawing emphasis lo the strongest part of the scene. There are countless oilier ways of taking the naturalness of nature and rendering it un-natural, of emphasizing Ihe extremities around us, the diversity and disorder. Indeed, some very famous photographers photographers have spent lifetimes doing just that -- people like Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, for example. In Ihe end, ynu may rlnclrio the effort of being a creative photographer photographer Isn't worth the results. On the other hand, you'll never know unless you try. W fi /« Ugly can be beautiful, too, as this photo of a dead fish attests.

Morgantaler and Scott have been killing children regularly under the eyes of Queen's Park. It is true that the Liberals inherited this problem, but like their predecessors they have buried their heads in the sand. Before he took office, Peterson promised to close this baby slaughter house, but then again it is not easy to always do right when you're kissing the N.D.P. to stay in office. Does anyone really , know or care how many children's lives have been snuffed out while Peterson's government pussy-foots to the N.D.P. drums. WhenJJhfi crovyn requestqd.a "•stay oi^chargès^.ançLî' "tjïe release?' 'of" tbeee-,, three murderers , without bail*, it , made itself- look like a fool, Secondly, it has set a new precedence in dealing with . child killers. For . if Morgantaler and friends get preferred treatment then all child killers should be handled with kid gloves. In fact every child killer in Ontario jails should now be able to , truthfully say he got a bum- rap, in the light of what the government has done for Morgantaler and cronies. The "time has come for the public to demand justice, for after all the only difference between, the killers of Toronto's shoeshine boy (a few years back) and these three is that the latter carry the title doctor. The crime is the same. The results and intent are the same. The punishment is different only because Peterson's government fails to metor out justice. In the name of fairness, in the name of justice and personal rights, if Morgantaler and his fellow killers go free, it is time to release all child killers. For the Liberals are saying, "children don't count anymore. It is a crime to be a child. We must protect those who kill them."
