This week, I should like to continue with a discussion of further recommendations dealing with certain barriers that may inhibit progress in this area and action to be taken that could possibly overcome such obstacles. The Committee recognizes that there may be barriers which make good, long-term decisions difficult to resolve. To this point in time, Ontario Hydro has considered movement movement towards conservation as risky, seeing it as less important important in the marketplace. As well, its key. decisions are made before government input.

In the opinion of the Committee, this public corporation, corporation, however, remains the best institution to deal with this matter as it has the necessary necessary resources and tools, and is spread throughout the province. The intervention of government government will be necessary to overcome some of these barriers. The Ontario government government should outline a social, environmental and political framework by which Ontario Hydro can govern itself. The Ministry of Energy should assess provincial action in the setting of high standards for appliances and buildings and should also place more of an emphasis on anticipating future demand and alternative alternative resources. As well, the Power Corporation Act should be amended in order that options can be implemented to encourage conservation. Many benefits can be derived from a program of conservation, such as: a more reliable, diverse system; increased flexibility; including short lead times to implement or stop a project; greater control, reducing uncertainty; creating higher standards of living as energy costs are reduced; reducing or preventing pollution. The benefits of conservation should be spread among the province, and Ontario Hydro is not to use what is called a . "no-losers" test, which would involve rate increases to compensate compensate for the reduced revenue collected due to conservation. conservation. A series of recommendations recommendations deal with the increased accountability of Ontario Hydro to the government government and the public. Proposals include: bi-annual public reviews conducted by the Ontario Energy Board; draft plans and documents to be submitted to the Ontario Energy Board to be published 60 days before the hearing, and publicized results of the DSOS 60 days after the final report is submitted; recommendations recommendations to be sent to Cabinet; such accountability to be required by law; Ontario Energy Board Act to be amended to allow this board to regulate electricity rates. Open sessions would be conducted conducted before the planning issues were finalized to ensure full participation by all interested parties, The final recommendations discuss the fate of the Select Committee on Energy, which put forward the above recommendations, recommendations, It was felt that it Phillips of Bowmanville, Kim Osinga of Bowmanville (sister of the bride), Paula Salvador of Oshawa and Adrianna Vizza of Oshawa.

Set Your Camera On "Auto" Alter nearly seven years of writing this column, I guess I qualify as something of the granddad of photographic scribbling. A young granddad, to be sure. But, nonetheless... Still, though I sometimes think I've done it all, covered just about everything there is to be covered in photography, there's always something newwaiting just around the bend. The other day, while researching an article on collecting antique cars, I had the opportunity to photograph a 1937 Rolls Royce in showroom-mint condition. I pulled out my camera, camera, checked flash, drive, and film, and raised the finder to my eye. It wasn't until then that I realized I'd never in my life photographed an antique car before. At least, not in a serious attempt to produce a quality illustration. Worse, still, I soon deduced that the more I looked tor the best way to shoot, the more I realized I didn't have the foggiest notion of what would work and what wouldn't. Finally, after getting the owner's permission lo return for a photo session another day, I slipped the camera back into my bag and slunk, tail dragging sullenly behind me,' out the door. Alter searching through my library for some words of enlightenment, enlightenment, alter perusing countless back issues of various photo magazines, after calling around to bookstores and public public libraries, I became suspicious. "I think," thought I, "there is a definite lack of material written on photographing automobiles." automobiles." I know what's going through your mind. That's what I thought, too, until I actually confronted the task of getting a good car shot. What's the problem? Point the camera at the thing and shoot. Well, you can do that, but you'll end up with a photo that looks as it you pointed the camera and shot. No, lo someone who cares about such things, an au- ' tomobile is a work of art, no less than a Weston photograph or a Van Gogh painting. Whether it's a $400,000 Shelby Cobra Coupe or a $150 Chevy Belair, there's a right way and a wrong way of immortalizing it on film. Several days of trial and error followed by careful scrutiny of the results have led me to some conclusions. Carefully examine the car you're going to photograph and analyze its strong points. What, visually, is its strength? With an old Cadillac, possibly the tail fins. With an Edsel or a Studebaker, its griilwork. With a Porsche 911, its overall slope- back profile or tail-light configuration. With a Lincoln Continental, Continental, its massive expanse of hood. Next, think about the best way to capture that strong point on film. Remember, a car is a large subject, fully three dimensional. dimensional. Yet, you have to capture the essence of the beast on two-dimensional film. Once you've decided on what you hope to convey with your shot, you must select a point of view--or camera angle- and a lens to help you convey it. A straight-on view of a classic Rolls shot with a fisheye lens from just a foot or so away will give you a distorted and very eye-catching view of the remarkable chrome and glasswork, all assembled by hand. If you have several different lenses in your arsenal, don't be afraid to try them all, moving toward and away from your subject until you're comfortable with what shows through the finder. Setting is important, too. If you photograph the car with a wide-angle lens, you're likely to end up grabbing plenty of background and middle ground along with the car. That's no problem if the subject is parked in a scenic location, but it could produce deadly boring results if the car is curbed in front of the house or sticking oui of the garage. Perhaps the best view of the car would be while in motion, either coming towards or moving away from the camera. If so, enlist someone to drive the machine while you position yourself accordingly. Make sure you trust the driver explicitly, however, and that your life insurance, policy is paid up, just in case ... Finally, don't overlook the possibility of using a special-effects special-effects tiller. A starburst or a multiple-image filter might well make the difference between a classic photo and a ho-hum shot. For just a few dollars' inveslment, you could end up with a cameraful of future memories.
