Page Eight PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 18th, 1935. ne CJ-SNAPSKOT CU SPRING LIGHTNING Lightning and méonlight plctures are unusual and fascinating and you can take them with any kind of a camera. PRIL showers not only bring May flowers but night-time electrical storms as well. And there's your chance for sensational light- ning pictures. With the dark, clouded skies the sliarp ribbons of lightning spread in fantastic, fascinating flashes and when caught by the camera, the re- sulting picture is really something to talk about and adds variety and interest to. your snapshot album. There is no trick involved in tak- ing lightning pictures. In fact, it's quite simple. If it is raining during the time the lightning is weaving its webs of flashes across the sky, and you don't want to get wet, take your pictures from the inside through an open window, Place the camera on a tripod or something solid at the open window and point it in the di- rection of the. last few flushes. Set your shutter at "time", using the largest diaphragm opening or "stop." You may close the shutter after the first flash or leave it open for the registering of several flashes, Of course, if vou leave the shutter open for many flashes, you will get a fan- tastic conglomeration of ribbons of does not register satisfactorily is sheet lightning. It merely uni- formly illuminates a broad expanse of sky. With this kind of lightning, however, interesting silhouettes of trees and buildings can be secured. And while discussing Dame Na- ture's "lighting plant", pictures by moonlight should not be overlooked. Moonlight will serve to make pic- tures just as sunlight does, but as it is a great many times weaker than sunlight, exposures must be in-. creased considerably. Perhaps the simplest way to calculate a moon- light exposure is to give 25 minutes for each 1/100 second exposure that would be given the same scene by sunlight. For example, the. exposure in bright sunlight for a landscape with a dark-toned object in the immediate foreground, would be 1/25 of a sec: ond with stop 7.11 or U.S.8. Then the exposure by the light of a full moon would be 100 minutes with the same stop. This could be cut down to 50 minutes with stop 7.8 or U.S.4 For a landscape without a dark toned object in the immediate fore ground about 25 minutes with f:.8 o1 U.S.4 -would be ample, and for dis: light but not a true picture of a sin- tant landscapes the exposure can br gie flash.

Williams Commis- sioner of Provincial Police, in his an- nual report submitted to the Ontario Legislature. : Reporting that moto) fatalities in- creased from 127 in 1933 to 1563 in 1934, the Commissioner comments that "so many of the deaths and maimings could be prevented if drivers would only use ordinary care and cau- tion, being sure that at all times and under all conditions, they have their automobiles under complete control." "The Inspector in charge of the motorcycle patrol reports that Section 23 of the Highway Traffic Act has be- come increasingly difficult to enforce, due to the apparent general belief that the speed limit varies according to the particular point of the highway, and that such speed limit is left to the judgment of the individual driver as traffic conditions permit, also that the general impression appears to be that once the driver is free of cities and towns, the mechanical capacity of the automobile he is driving is the limit." tts lf PP ~The ""Star's" Job Depart- ment is well equipped, let us quote prices on your next t-of-the-prdinary pictures JOHN VAN 131 EPSOM The Churches on this circuit are planning to make next Sunday, Easter Day, memorable in every respect. Bethesda choir is putting on special music and everything possible is be- ing done to make the seryice attractive in every way. They hold their Sun- day School at 10.30 a.m. and Church at 11.30 a.m. The Utica Church are also hoping for a good musical programme and all the songsters of the community have received a hearty invitation to meet in the basement of the Church next Fri- day night at 8 o'clock. There is some- thing awe-inspiring to worship in a little country church, especially when all nature around is bursting out into song, everything is singing of the handiwork of the Creator; then why should man be silent? CT Our leader at Bethesda Young People's Society, on Wednesday of this week was Lloyd Ashenhurst, Our society, whose President is Miss Mild- red Croxall, is so well equipped mus- ically that most of the young people in the community are usually on hana for a real good time when their ser- vices are held. The Trustees of the Community Hall decided to put a new ceiling in the Hall, which was completed last week, and opened by a progressive euchre party. on Thursday night. The work was all done by free labor and the Trustees are very greatful to one and all who helped in any way.
