------ ett or en PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 28, 1995 - 15 -1t-yoursel iS mas decorations get you in the mood For family holiday fun, here's an easy recipe to make old-fashioned tree ornaments at home that everyone will treasure. 2 cups all-purpose flour (not self-rising) 1 cup Morton® Salt 1 cup water Food color, optional Combine flour and salt in a large, flat-bottomed bowl. Mix well. Form into a ball by mixing in a little water at a time. If you want colored ornaments, add food color to the dough. Be sure to knead 7- 10 minutes, until the dough has a smooth, firm consistency. Add a little Here are some pointers for holiday photos Your holiday season may be closer to picture perfect if you heed these hints on taking great pho- tos youll enjoy throughout the new year to come: e Keep your camera loaded and by your side. Most pictures are missed because the photographer had to load film or just wasn't ready. An extra set of batteries will also prove useful. e Include family or friends when shooting the Christmas tree or dinner table. Pictures take on a new significance when they have subjects you can identify with and enjoy remembering. e Avoid the "red-eye" phenomenon. Red-eye occurs when the bright light of the flash enters the subject's pupil, bounces off of the eye's retina and reflects back into the cam- era lens. Babies, people with light eyes, pets and "holiday revelers" (alcohol decreases the pupil's reac- tion to a flash) are most susceptible to red-eye. Increasing the available light will help contract the pupils of your subjects' eyes, which makes it hard- er for the flash's light to enter, or it may eliminate the need for a flash alto- gether. Another option is to use a faster-speed film, such as ISO 400 or higher Some easy-to-use, techno- logically advanced cameras can help due to a red-eye reduction strobe pre-flash. e Take advantage of the flash. Many cameras today offer fill-in flash to reduce or eliminate unwanted shadows or night-scene flash which automatically signals the camera to select a slow shutter speed which will preserve background ele- ments in a nighttime pho- to. Night-scene flash is per- fect for capturing the kids in front of the Christmas tree or a dramatic city skyline. * Enjoy advances in photography. Cameras off- er a wealth of innovative features such as built-in zoom and auto-everything ease that put otherwise- difficult shots into the range of even an amateur. more water if necessary. Now you're ready to make a bell, a star, a Christmas tree or Santa. Just roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut ornament shapes out of the dough using cookie cutters. Make a small hole at the top of the ornament for thread to hang the finished product.
