SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 6 -WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7.1978 Instant photos bring you immediate gratification Ah, the Great Outdoors! Whether you're vacationing at a desert retreat in Arizo­ na s " Red Rock" country or in the mountains of Ap- palachia or the Northwest, you'll find plenty of picture- taking opportunities awaiting you. You can capture all of the o u t d o o r s i g h t s i n a n instant -- a Kodak instant camera, that is. For example, with instant color prints that develop outside of a camera in minutes, you can almost immediately enjoy a scene of your daughter shopping around a native Indian mar­ ket or trying to barter with a real mountain fur trader. Instant cameras are just right for developing various photo series of events that become chapters in your outdoor vacation story. Series of photos One segment of the tale might include the fallowing series of photos: your son gathering wood for the eve­ ning fire; Dad trying to get it lighted; Mom cooking hot dogs and beans; your daugh­ ter cleaning up afterwards; the whole family relaxing and toasting marshmallows; and finally. Dad dousing the fire before retiring for the eve­ ning. Here are some basic tips for snapping top-quality in­ stant pictures: • Move in as close to your subject as your camera model permits (with a Kodak Ek4 or EK6 instant camera, you can get within three- and-a-half feet) for photos of your family and friends. • Remove any cluttering background by shooting from a different angle or position. Distracting settings may draw attention away from tyour main subject. • Place the center of inter­ est slightly off-center for a composition that avoids the static, "head-on" look. • Use foreground framing Let The Sun Cut Your FUel Bills Solar energy is an economical source for heating water, today The Solarcraft, sun-powered water heating system from State is here now It will operate in this climate even on cloudy or overcast days (At those times a conventional stand by electric heating element takes over) Solarcraft can pay for itself Make this simple comparison. lHJ Standard 40 gallon electric water heater Purchase Price $135.00 Family of 4 uses 70 gallons of hot water a day or 25,550 gallons a year That requires 5060 KW a year for heating Based on KWHR rate of 5 cents.

RTE. 120, McHENRY 344-1180 by aiming through a distinc­ tive desert rock formation or cactus, or perhaps a blossom­ ing branch in the mountains, for a picture of a friend or loved one that has an added touch of nature's beauty. Shoot liberally • Shoot liberally at all scenes that arouse your interests and emotions. Those are the views that'll bring your trip back to life long after you've returned home. Remember to bring along plenty of extra film so you can use your camera as an explorer's tool, especially if you are visiting a place for the first time. Use flash • Use flash after sundown or when the action moves in­ side your camper or tent to take pictures of subjects from four to 10 feet away. In group scenes, try to keep everyone at about the same distance from the flash for an even ex­ posure. •Take title shots--scenes of signposts, trail markers, r o a d m a p s o r n a t u r a l landmarks--to help identify where you've been. The silver jewelry of Arizona is famed for its beauty. Your daughter will cherish her jewelry and the pictures of the pur­ chase for many years. When you record the scene in instant pictures, the jewelry seller can have a print, too. Success: only a sneeze away! Sometimes success is only a sneeze away! Such was the case for Melville R. Bissell. In the 1870's Bissell and his wife Anna ran a crockery and glassware shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Their merchandise was delivered in crates and barrels packed with loose straw. Mr. Bissell developed an uncomfortable allergy to straw dust, and promptly de­ cided to remedy the situation by inventing a machine •' iul would effectively sweep r.p the irritating dust from the floor. This idea soon developed into a carpet sweeper for home use. The famous Bis­ sell Carpet Company was born--and that's nothing to sneeze at!
