& July 25, 1937 THIS WEEK AVE you ever taken pictures at night of your friends grouped around a campfire? The chances are that be- fore the end of the vacation season you will be numbered among those attending a beach party, clambake, corn roast, or perhaps you will be going on a camping trip; any of which occasions are ‘‘naturals’ for campfire pictures. Taking pictures around the camp- fire at night is really a lot of fun and you can get unusual and fascinating shots. Ever since the introduction of the electric photoflash bulb, interest in night photography has increased surprisingly; yet many amateur snap- shooters do not realize-how easy it is to take flash shots. The photoflash bulb can be screwed into a special holder resembling an ordinary hand-flashlight tube, or into a regular light socket if it is available. The No. 2 size should be used for For Snapshooters group pictures. The flash is set off by pressing the flash button or by turn- ing on the light current, as the case may be. It gives an intense light with- out any noise or smoke. To take a picture of a group around a campfire, have the party get as close to the fire as comfort will permit. Have those seated at the farthest points from the fire hold pocket flash- lights or matches, so that you will be sure that everyone is included in the picture as you look through the finder. The fire should not be too bright, nor should it be allowed to die down to embers when you make the picture. Place the camera where smoke from the fire will not blow towards the lens or between it and the subjects. To avoid any movement of the camera it should be placed on a tripod or a solid support of some kind. When you are sure you have it placed so that your entire group is in the finder, set the lens aperture at f.8 or U. S. 4 and the Here's Why: Happy gestures play a big part in happy marriage by IRA S. WILE, M.D. NEw YORK newspaper re- cently presented the follow- ing in its “‘Public Notices" column: “My wife Tesse not having left my bed and board after six years, I am cheerfully responsible for all debts incurred by her.” When an alert city editor, informed of this unusual notice, sent a reporter to interview the man who put it in, the contented husband said in effect: *“‘I inserted it as a compliment to my wife — a graceful gesture, an orchid, a bouquet. There are many successful marriages, but the public is told only of the unsuccessful ones. I thought it was about time to reverse that rule.” We predict for the author of this notice many times six years of married happiness. He knows the value of thoughtfulness and graceful surprise in bringing joy to the marriage relation; also the binding quality of generous good humor in the routine of daily living. It may not be news to announce that a couple is happily married, but it is pleasant for a wife to know that a man is willing to tell the world about it while she still lives. A wise man once stated that he be- lieved in “taffy” during life rather than “‘epitaphy”’ at its end. Stranger than Man by CARL KULBERG THE cow fish is a strange specimen His body is encased in a hard shell; his fins, eyes and mouth alone are movable. Horns project from his head. * Ld * A MONKEY has a better balanced brain than any man. The brain sec- tions of a monkey are the same on both sides of his head, while man’s sections are differently proportioned. * * * lN‘ro Silver Springs, an underwater wonderland of gardens at Ocala, Fla., gush 801,000,000 gallons of crystal- clear water a day — enough to supply the daily requirements of New York or 30 cities the size of Jacksonville. * * - Tue soft-shell, or leatherback, turtle, who has sharp jaws and is dangerous, is areal “‘rubber-neck.”’ He can stretch his almost a foot. AN aLBiNO gar, differing from his fellows in that they are all gray fish, has lived in the Miami aquarium since 1929. His body is light yellow and he has pink eyes. He is probably the only one in captivity. * * - THE sacred cattle of Ruanda, Belgian Congo, have giant lyre-shaped horns with a spread of six feet. With pomp and ceremony they are brought before the king annually — a strange collec- tion of “‘lyres.” * * * AN ALLIGATOR runs away from man and will not attack unless annoyed, but a crocodile will not hesitate to go for you. Alligators have rounded snouts while those of crocodiles are sharply pointed — just in case you have to make a quick decision some- time while in their company. shutter for a ‘‘time’” exposure. You are now ready to shoot, as far as the camera is concerned. Taking your position behind the camera, hold the photoflash rather high, to the side and on a line with, or even slightly back of the camera, so that it will not flare in the lens. Now, open the shutter, set off the flash bulb and then be sure to close the shutter immediately. If you have a box type camera, go right ahead in the same way, using the largest lens opening. Questions From Snapshooters Question: Do films and mnegatives discolor with age? If so, is there any way to prevent it? (S. D.) Answer: Negatives or prints should not discolor with age if they are prop- erly fixed and properly washed and are stored where they will not come in contact with certain gases. Negatives should be washed for one half hour in running water or in six changes of water for five minutes each. Prints should be washed for one hour in running water or in twelve changes of water for five minutes eath. Negatives should be fixed for twice as long as it takes to clear them of the white, milky appearance, and prints should be fixed for about 15 minutes in a fresh acid fixing bath. Both nega- tives and prints should be agitated in the fixing bath to insure an even ac- tion. After fixation, the negatives and prints should be washed as explained.
