Presentation Made to Hampton United Church fouikL-iiiJi On Sunday morning at Hampton United Church, a unique presentation and dedication took place in loving mémory of the Virtue family in the form of a donation to the church by Mrs. Edith Slemon of Niagara Falls. Taking part in the ceremony were Ellen Pokorski and Erin Johnson who presented flowers to Mrs. Slemon seated at front holding a FOCUS Long Telephotos Are Simply "Super" "Success," I once overheard a professional industrial photographer photographer tell a friend, "is measured in milimelers. The more telephoto lenses a photographer has in his case, the greater his success." I never for an instant failed to consider the fact that anyone with so blatantly'shallow a definition of the word, "success," might, indeed, indeed, be a boring failure, On the other hand, there's a modicum of sense to what the fellow had to say. ■ How many "unsuccessful" photographers whose cases are filled with 400, 600, and 1,000 mm lenses do you know? Can you name even one with a Leica R-4 SRL around his neck? If so, and if that camera is sporting a 400 mm Telyl-R lens, the optics, alone, set him back over $3,000. How about an "unsuccessful" Nikon owner with a 2,000 mm Reflex Nikkor IC lens, suggested list, $6,247? Or a "flop" of a guy shooting a Contax RTS equipped with a 1,000 mm Mirotar light-enhancing lens at the grandaddy-of- 'em-all price of slightly more than $24,000? Don't talk to me about success. All these guys are doing something ■ right. r i ■ " Admittedly, these super-priced super-teles are the lop of the heap where manulacturer's suggested list is concerned. Run down to your favorite photo shop and price any number of other super-telephoto lenses--those lenses in the 400 mm-and-up category--and you're likely to be pleasantly surprised at the, shall we say, non-pulse-stop- ping prices. By and large, most super-teles run somewhere in the vicinity of a dollar a milimeler... more for heavily advertised and touted "prestige" "prestige" brand lenses (which may, by the way, have undergone extensive extensive research and development and incorporate several high-tech- features); less tor those you never hear about until your photo store owner runs a midnight special. For example, consider Vivitar's very respectable 400 mm 1/5.6 with a suggested list of $400.95; Soligor's 500 mm C/D Macro Mirror 1/8 listing for $529; Canon's 1,200 mm FL f/11 for $1,325; and Minolta's 500 mm RF f/8 for $534.50. The poinl is, if you own a camera and are serious about your photography, you can probably find a super-tele to lit it at a price that won't leave you breathless ... or at least won't necessitate taking out a second mortgage on the house. But do you want one? Do you need one? And, once you get one, will you be happy using it and will it help you produce better photographic photographic images? The answers to these questions are 1.) Probably; 2.) Probably not; 3.) Possibly; and 4.) Possibly not. II that sounds vague, you'll understand why in a minute. First, consider this: The super-telephoto lens is not an optic you lake along casually because you may have an opportunity to use it. The narrow angle ol the view and great magnification of this lens -- particularly in the 800-1.200 mm range -- restricts its effectiveness and. except in a lew cases, renders it relatively useless. That doesn't mean it has no use. On the contrary, it is extremely well suited tor sports and nature photography, as well as for photojournalism photojournalism where tough going may make shooting Irom a distance the only way to get the shot. No super-telephoto lens is easy to use, however. Although the newer computer-designed models are lighter and smaller than you might expect, none are "point-and-shool." That means, in order to gel the sharpest, least distorted images possible, you'll need to use a sturdy tripod, monopod, or other means ol firm support. Alter shooting, the shutter must be cocked extremely carefully to prevent the slightest jolt Irom moving Iho camera and upsetting your framing. For this reason, most pros use motor drive units or power winders whenever possible for transporting lilm and cable relasos lor triggering the shutters. Focusing with a super-tele is no picnic, either. Because of the extremely shallow depth-of-field with a super-long lens, critical locus-. ing is mandatory. II you're oil even a hair, you may end up with almosl-bul-not-quite sharp photos. And that defeats the whole purpose purpose ol using a super-tele -- getting superior-quality shots. Also, because ol their relatively "slow" characteristics -- meaning their wildest available apertures are much smaller than those on shorter lenses--many photographers end up using their super-teles at maximum aperture in order to squeeze Iho highest possible action- stopping shutter speed Irom their cameras Even with Iho lastesl lilm practical, it's laic, indeed, to find an occasion when you can shoot a 500 mm Ions at 1/16. So considering their prices and limitations, do you really want to buy a super-telephoto lens lor your camera? That depends. These, more than any other optics, aro the lenses photojournalists use in the recording ol history. They have been to war. to ghetto riots, and to record-breaking events and have brought Iho stories back to us. They have produced most ol Iho photos that bccamo the covers ol tiro world's lending spoils, news, and nature magazines. They are Iho lenses ol choice at all Olympics games. It lhal hasn't swayed you. you really don't want one alter all. Is a long telephoto Ions Iho answer to your photographic problems?

Planning Amateur Art Show PHOTO FINISHING 31 KING ST. W. UOWMANVILLE G23-25G8 by Tammy Hill Ontario Hydro's Darlington Darlington Generating Station, is holding its first amateur art show and sale on Saturday, Saturday, September 20 and Sunday, Sunday, September 21. Sue Stickley, Information Officer at Darlington, came up with the idea of holding . an art show following the 1985 all Ontario Hydro Head Office showing. Planning Planning and organization for the art show was arranged by Sue Stickley with help from Tony Clayton, painting general foreman, and Anil Gupta, from operations. "The show is strictly to let people know what kind of hidden talents lie within the Hydro workers and allow employees with a talent talent the chance to "come out of the basement" and,show their hobbies or interests," said Mr. Clayton. The'show is virtually all amateur Artists Artists with an invitation of "come one come all." By holding the art show the organizers hope to encourage encourage employees to get involved. To date there have been 25 - 30 responses made to the notices posted throughout the generating station. The categories which will be eligible for showing are: drawing and sketching; painting (all media); photography; photography; and "unrelated", which includes sculpting, wall hangings, macramé, and wood carving. The categories have been left fairly wide in the hopes of not shutting out anyone wishing to participate. This will not be conducted conducted as a juried show, it is strictly for show and sale, depending on the wishes of the individual artist Mr. Clayton just recently began showing his art work. Two of his paintings were entered into the Head Office Office show and one received Letter to The Editor Dear Editor: The obvious bias of the Canadian Statesman to the Progressive Conserative Party continues to rear its ugly head The August 23/ 1986 paper gave front page coverage (with pictures) to the newly elected offices for Durham East P.C. riding Association.

There are other examples, however, these two should suffice suffice to prove my point, In closing, will you be fair In the next Provincial election? If Sam Cureatz is in your paper holding a fish or cutting ribbon, will you give us Liberals equal coverage?

It must bo fun each week, checking the paper to see If we have balanced the coverage ■ all three parties. Unfortunately, wo don't have time for such luxuries, an honourable mention award. Art is strictly a hobby for Mr. Clayton. He has never sold any of his work and at present he has no desire to do so. "Right now I draw for my own personal personal satisfaction," said Mr. Clayton, "I enjoy it." His present interests lie in life drawing and water colour painting. Mr. Clayton previously belonged to the Kincardine Visual Arts Centre a few years ago and just joined the Oshawa Art Association on Sunday evening. "I have to keep involved to keep up my enthusiasm," said Mr. Clayton, "I want to get better better and it's good to see what other people are doing." He hasn't been doing very- much work lately, but Mr. Clayton hopes to get started again;' 1 With' the winter month's ahéad he'WillTikely begin a lot'df work since this' time of year is when he does his most drawing. Mr. Clayton plans to show several of his works at the show on the weekend and looks forward to seeing the work of fellow employees.
