Page 8, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, CHRISTMAS EXTRA, December, 1 Take better holiday photos A star @ Batteries -- Make sure they are fresh, say the experts at Canon U.S.A. These are the technicians who will work with the professionals at the Olym- pic Games and they speak "y from experience. © Film -- If there's left- over film in your camera, have. it processed: now. Start fresh for the holidays. Describe the kind of shoot- ing you'll be doing to your photo dealer and ask him to suggest the best film. The new super-fast films are great for subdued in- door lighting but they can result in overexposure when used out-of-doors, especially with a flash. It's clients, customers and friends like you who @ Loading -- Check to see if the film is advancing properly. How depends on your camera. With most single-lens reflex cameras see if the film rewind knob rotates. If it doesn't, you'll be shooting a roll of 'blanks. @ Flash -- Most auto- _matic cameras warn you when flash is advisable be- cause of low-light condi- tions. Heed the warning. The penalty can be fuzzy pictures with an orange cast. The Canon experts stress that pictures taken outside of a flash's range will be underexposed -- dark. have been the foundation of our success. A a am | as an | MM ie Vay LAW OFFICE OF EDWIN W. PAGET ® Focus -- If you have an automatic focus camera such as the new Sure Shot, there's no need to worry. But if your camera requires focusing, do it quickly and leave it set at that point. If you fiddle with the focus, everything starts to look sharp. @ Composition -- Study the viewfinder for a second or two before snapping your picture. Check the background. Is there something back there that will appear to be growing out of your subject's head? Squeeze; don't push:. © Contrast -- Watch out for scenes in which part of your subject is brightly il- luminated with the rest in deep shadow. Today's mir- acle films won't be able to bridge the gap if it's too great. Even illumination is best. @ Action -- Too slow a shutter speed and a moving subject will be blurred. If your camera does not have a shutter speed adjustment and the light is low, use flash. It's also easier to freeze action that's coming at you rather than crossing your field of view.. @ Blinkers -- One way to get shots of people -with their eyes open is to ask them to close their eyes and then open them. Shoot then. Or you can cheat a little. Say you'll count to three. Shoot on the count of two. Asking your sub- ject to say 'echeese"' sounds corny, but it works. t gees 8 DS ep hs e xs >: oa 5 in Travel ==: Rest and = Sears Te Ok: a > 5 MY x Y: LL] ¢ as fk > £ 6 86-100 "" Yom ff ' j ENT . i.

We thank you for your co-operation during our busy season. BARB, JO-ANNE, ARLENE, COLEEN & NORMA -- ©) Fnly Night Joyfully we celebrate this holy holiday in the true spirit of love, and good will. To all our many friends go our wish for a happy, healthy Christmas. * appeared For centuries, the image of the star of Bethlehem has captured the imagination of believers and_ scientists aliké at Christmas. The Scriptures do not give many details about the star. Matthew's gospel tells us only that the Wise Men came from the Orient, say- ing, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen His star in the East and are come to wor- ship Him."' Still, there are many theories regarding the star, some based on faith alone, others based on astronomi- cal explanations. One scientific theory is that the star may. have been a supernova, a star that suddenly explodes into brilliance. Because the supernova is quite rare, it would have been regarded as a sign of supernatural significance in the time of Jesus. And, since the su- pernova remains brilliant for many months, such an occurrence would allow the Magi sufficient time to travel in search of the Infant. Still another scientific theory is that the star was not actually a star, but a grouping of bright planets. Another theory is that the star was really a comet. According to researchers, one comet appeared for around 70 days in the spring of 5 B.C. The Wise Men that Mat- thew describes were pro- bably astronomers, say some researchers. Other historians claim that the Wise Men were actually kings: Melchior, King of Arabia; Gaspar, King of Tarsus; and Balthasar, King of Ethiopia. Matthew does not specify that there were three Magi. Our tradition celebrates three Wise Men, but Orien- tal Christians had a tradi- tion of twelve. Whether the star of Beth- lehem was actually a star, a comet or a conjunction of planets, and whether the vi- sitors from the East were astrologers or kings, the symbolism of the Magi following that light to the Infant Jesus is summed up by an expression so popular at Christmas time: "Today, wise men still seek Him."'
