This la g "golden *a®" 'or the camera fan. ® ONCE there wis ft time when; to 'get your picture taken, you had to sit still for ten minutes In brilliant sunshine, with your face powdered white as snow so it would reflect more light. Ten minutes-- think of it And then compare this ordeal with today, when snapshots can be taken In a mere fraction of a second--either in the daytime or at night--and with the most Inexpensive cameras. Yes, photography has certainly made tremendous strides. Today, with modern high speed films, you and other camera fans can take pictures practically anywhere at any time. With Inexpensive photo bulbs, you can get splendid snapshots at night even if you nave just a box camera. And if your camera has a fast lens, you don't even need the extra lights in many cases. For example, if your lens is as fast as f/3.5, you can take snapshots of many (well lighted) night sports events -- wrestling, boxing events, baseball or softball games, ice skaters under a spotlight, and similar subjects. Not time exposures, but snapshots. You can snap pictures of actors on a theater stage, and pictures of the crcwdB out front under the bright marquee. And -there's no special technique to it-- you Just load the camera with high speed film, open up the lens to the largest opening, set the shutter at say 1/25 second, and shoot With such possibilities as tha|f"r it's no wonder that more and moiSf * camera tans are taking up the fine? * cameras with faster lenses. B#> cause, of course, a fast-lens camera • can also be used for all other kinds ot snapshots. If the light is bright and clear--sunshine, or photo lights --you Just close the lens down to a smaller opening. Or, If you'n§ shooting a fast-action subject, yogi Just set the shutter tor more spee^S Either way. the fast-lens camen| helps yon get what you want At home, too, a fine camera glv«H you many snapshots that yojtcouldnt get with a slow-lens can# era. I have at hand a little car& board exposure guide which teUp the exposures for ordinary home lighting. It cost a dime. And believe it or not, with an f/3.5 lens yoft can take snapshots at 1/25 seconA on high speed film with three o^ ; dinary 100-watt bulbs, placed thref| feet from the subject Those arif ; bare bulbs; if you used reflector* " ~ with them, f/4.5. would do.
