September is fair time and I'll wager that mighty few of you have _ever given any 'thought _ this angle of snapshooting, Right? Hon- estly the county fair offers more pos- sibilities for snapshooting than space will permit telling about. Can't you see the barkérs in front of the side- * show extolling in husky, loud voices the merits of their shows? There's the side-show band with its battered instruments letting forth loud blasts of discordant music; the not so clean looking venders of dolls, trick gad- i-gets, balloons and various other ~ things of questionable value; every one of them a subject for good human interest pictures. ; .. But let's look toward the more serious side of the fair~the exhibits, for instance. By making intelligent 'use of your camera you can take home with you not only pictures of 'general interest but-if you are par- ticularly interested in farm products you can snap record pictures that may. later prove Invaluable. There 18 the judging of cattle, sheep, horses and hogs, for instance. If the judging is done in an openair ring you can snap the picture of the winner of the 'blue ribbon with any camera--hox type or folding. In taking such 'plotures, or any picture, as far as that is concerned, Loft-- "The Country Falr or bust" Right -- Even the 'sideshow offers snapshooting opportunities, the first thing you see. If the animal being-judged has any unusual mark- ings manage to get to a place near - the ring where these markings show up the best in your finder, Try too to avoid unattractive backgrounds such as telephone poles, wires or sheds. Among the innumerable picture possibilities at the fair you will sure- ly want to take some action pictures and a fair isn't complete without the thrill of horse racing whether they feature the veteran driver proudly seated in his sulky or the young, dare-devil jockey. Snap a pleture of the start of the race as the drivers or jockeys maneu- ver their horses to the barrier or starting post and by all means take your. position at the turn of the track as the horses dash' perilously around the curve and into the "home stretch", ; Remember this, however. If you do not have a camera with a very fast shutter, say one that wil operate at 1/600 of a second or faster, don't - try to snap a rapidly moving object as it Whizzes directly acrosathe lens of the camera or direct line df vision, Yotur chance of getting a good, sharp picture are much greater if you catch your subject at an angle of about 45 degrees. It's always better to play safe than to take a chance and perhaps get a blurred picture. Load your camera with film today and be réady for. that eventful day. when you are "off to the fair", JOHN VAN GUILDER. - don't just look-n thé finder and snap - Miss R.
