The snapshot at the left, taken with a folding camera at f8 and 1/25th of a second, Is nroperly exposed. The one on the right simulates the effect of under-ex- Albert Blatch and{. posure from two small a stop opening or too fast a shutter speed. A LETTER received the other day opened my eyes and made me realize that sometimes we take too much for granted A reader of this column wrote in saying she enjoyed the Snapshot Guild immensely and would be so happy when winter was over aiid spring arrived so that she could take some good pictures again, Here [I 'have been taking it for granted that everybody knew that with present day finé film it is pos- sible to take good pictures the year 'round--winter included. Well, if Mrs. thought she would have to wait 'til spring to take pic- tures doubtless there are hundreds mere-of the same belief. Belleve {it or not, picture taking ~ In the winter is just as easy as in summer, opportunities as numerous and scenes just as beautiful. There Is one {important thing, however, to keep in mind when tak- ing pictures in the winter--WATCH YOUR EXPOSURE! Many seem to think that because snow is white, exposures should be much shorter than in summer. This would be true if there were nothing but snow in the picture and if the light were as strong in the winter as in the sum- mer. Neither condition exists, how- ever. Trees, houses, buildings, ani. mals, etc., retain their usual color, 80 exposures must be timed accord- ingly. The old rule--expose for the shadows and let the highlights take care of themselves,--is still worth following. Although objects are brightened somewhat by greater re- flection from the snow, this is fre- quently fully offset by the lesser intensity of the sunlight in the winter, Where snow {8 not smudged by goot it remaing a glorious mantle of white, clothing familiar scenes In new guises and lending a peculiar charm to trivial objects that fail to attract attention at other seasons. With photography as the medium of expression, winter scenes are more truthfully rendered in black and white than summer scenes. Color is absent for the most part in the former and the monochrome print conforms very closely to the predominating whites, grays and blacks of Mother Nature's winter dress. Here 18 a suggestion that will help you get better results, that {s, if you follow it. When taking a picture make a note' of the "stop" you used, that is--the first or sec- ond, or third opening, if you have a box camera, or, If you have a fold- ing camera note f.8, f.11, f.16 and 80 on, or just 4, 8, 16; and with, a folding camera also make note of the speed of the shutter, that is, 1/26th of a second, 1/60th or whatever it may have been. When prints are re- turned you can say to yourself-- "This one is awfully light and does not show up as I expected. Let's see now--I took this picture at noon at 1/50th of a second and had the dia- phragm set at £.11. A little too fast to get the proper exposure under the hazy Winter sky on that day. The next time under the same condi- tions, I'll either set the diaphragm pointer at £.8 to let In more light or else leave the diaphragm opening at £.11 and set the shutter speed at 1/25th of a second so as to give the picture a longer exposure." It's really valuable Information to have and will help improve the quality of your pictures. It might be a good idea to cut out the pictures printed above and keep them for future - reference. They will help you in judging your own pictures if you are not quite sure just what is Wong with your prints So--don't let dintor stop you. There are countless pictures to he taken and by giving a little thought to liszitt conditions plus a little ex- perimenting you'll get good pic- tures Go ahead and shoot.
