Sr. Public School News ^ ft ice - 9a k Redding On Saturday, May 10th, 1986, at 4 p.m. in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Bowmanville, the Reverend Father Wayne McCarthy united in marriage, Caroline Elizabeth P.

Qi'i have a problem 1 1 hope you can help me with. I have a small store and periodically set up special window displays. The problem comes in when I try to photograph the displays from outside. Sometimes the displays come out perfectly, but other times, a reflection spoils the results. I need the photos so I know from year to year how the displays were done in the past. What am I doing wrong, and how can I correct the problem? A: Light glare and reflections are a serious prôblem for photographers working around glass, water, snow, ice -- any. reflective surface. Before you can eliminate the problem, you should understand it. Reflections are images in smooth, shiny surfaces. Unwanted Unwanted reflections are often , outside the camera's field of view, but they show up in the scene because the shiny surface is within the camera's field of view. Glare is the spreading of light around à bright light source or around the reflection of a light source. Glare interferes with vision because of bright light bouncing around within the eye. It can also interfere with the photographed image because of light bouncing around in the camera... as well as irradiation and halation in the film. • With that in mind, there are a couple things you can do to minimize or eliminate reflections and glare. First, change the camera angle so that the reflection or the glare does not enter the lens. This is the simplest solution for a photographer shooting shooting a scene in which there is a reflective surface which might reflect his own image back to the camera. It's also a good solution for avoiding "hot spots" when using electronic flash in a scene where there's a polished background. Second, place the camera lens flush against the glass or plastic surface you're shooting through in order to photograph what's on the other side. Third, spray the reflective surface of the object with a dulling spray (available at art and hobby stores), which deposits a thin coat of wax-on a shiny surface, thus eliminating specular or mirror-like reflections by diffusing the light. The spray may be wiped off when' no longer' needed.' Fourth, diffuse the light by reflecting it from a white, dull surface rather than aiming the source directly at the subject. This is a good means of eliminating flash "hot spot" from a person's eyeglasses--something you might get when shooting shooting direct flash. By bouncing the light off a dull white card, for example, you'll soften the source, creating a reflection-free, more natural-looking shot. Fifth, use a polarizing filter. Rotate the filter until the glare or reflection is minimized or eliminated. If you're using a single lens reflex camera, you'll be able to see the results as you peer thiuugli the finder If you use any other type camera, hold the filter up to your eye, rotating it until the reflection is eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level. Then place the filter over the camera's lens in that same orientation. If necessary, necessary, you can pul a small pencil mark on the top of the filter when it's in the proper position, then be sure the mark is on . top when the filter goes on the lens. Q: Is there an electronic flash unit I can use with my old Kodak 35 mm Signet camera? It takes excellent photographs and is a keepsake. A: I commend you for keeping in use a valuable old camera. While I'm not personally familiar with whether or not the Signet accepts electronic flash, I can tell you how to know. If your Signet -- or any camera, for that matter -- is fitted with a small circular recepticle marked "X," you can plug any electronic flash unit into it and get perfectly synched photos. If not, I'm afraid you'll have to do without electronic flash. PHOTOGRAPHY CUSTOM FRAMING 's PH °ro z 1 HOUR EXI 3 RESS PHOTO FINISHING 31 KING ST. W. UOWMANVILLE 623-2568 aNGE : Bowmanville.
