BROCK & SON RED & WHITE STORE CAMERA A few Inexpensive photofiood lampa are all you need for Indoor plotures - at night. Diagram (right) shows proper placing of lamps for plcture (left). Diaphragm opening, f 6.8; shutter speed 1/26 of a second. LTHOUGH you may not be one of those lovers of the great out- doors and prefer the warmth of the old fireplace or furnace these cold, damp wintry evenings, there is no reason why you should not enjoy your camera, for it is always ready for action in or outdoors--an all- weather friend. Time passes quickly and before we realize where the days and weeks have gone the air begins to get a little balmy and we are thinking of in the finder and the camera is set, place an ordinary floor lamp, with the shade tilted upward, at position "A" as close to the subject as pos- sible but out of the range of your finder. Lamp "A" should have sock- ets for thrée photofiood lamps. Two will do 1f you can have the lamp within three or four feet of your sub- ject. (The light intensity increases as you place the lights closer to the subject and decreases when farther away.) Two photofiood lamps should be placed in lamp "B."" Where shades on home lamps cannot be tipped for directing light on the subject, re- move the shade. In such cases, some sort of reflector back of the lamps will throw more light forward. A white cardboard, a piliow case, or even & bright dishpan held directly behind the lights will help. Set the diaphragm at 1.6.3, If your camera is equipped with a selt-timer, set the shutter speed at 1/25th of a second, turn on your photoflood lamps, take your position in the group and--click--it has made a snapshot at night for you. If you have a box camera you had better use a photoflash lamp (not to be confused with photoflood lamps). Here's what you do. Place the floor lamp slightly back of and a little to the right or left of the camera. Re- move the shade and screw the photo- flash lamp into one of the sockets-- and be sure the current is "oft." As- suming you have located the group, or subject, in the finder, open the shutter as you would for a time ex- posure and {mmediately turn on the ant drives in the car after dinner, The next three months, however, are ideal for snapshots at night in the house and if you have not al. ready experlenced the pleasure of this fascinating pastime you have certainly missed a lot of fun and failed to "follow through" on your amateur photographic knowledge. The 'hey-hey-hi-de-ho" days of youth are the ones we always re- member and as snapshots at night are so easy to take why not start in right now and make picture records of the many happy winter evenings at home, All you need are three or four photofiood lamps for brilliant illumination and a camera with an 1.6.8 lens, or faster. Photoflood lamps cost only twenty-five cents each and ~ as they are good for two hours of picture taking, the cost per picture is negligible. For the best results you should use the modern super gensitive panchromatic fllm, It 1s available in all standard sizes. Let's suppose that Mary and you are entertaining Betty and Jack and everybody is as happy as the four some ahove seem to be. Let's make pn snapshot at night of your party. ~The diagram indicates the relative placing of the subject, lights and camera for this particular group. For a different setting you can place the lamps accordingly. = = After you have located the group of the lamp close the shutter at once. Simple enough, isn't it? The possibilities for indoor picture taking are endless and you are miss. ing a lot of fun--and fascinating pie- tures--until you try fit. JOHN VAN GUILDER.
