on the opposite side from the sun, figuring ahead where the sun will be ajter the plane takes off.
The windows in modern airliners, if they are clean, will give the camerist no trouble. But be sure they are clean! When I take an airline trip. I make it a point before we take off to tip the porter to wash my window for me. If, as sometimees
happens on even the best airlines, the engine on your side is throwing oil, another quarter spent the same way at each stopping point will do your pictures a world of good.
For the rest, follow the dictates of your exposure meter, directed at the ground, use a “G” filter and Agfa Supreme — and you'll have some aerial shots of which anyone might be proud!
Our illustrations
When a newspaperman turns to photography as a hobby, almost anything can happen. The article on Page 21 tells what happened when one news hawk — Lyle Abbott , of the Los Angeles Evening Herald-Express — combined the hobbies of astronomy and photography. Our frontispiece, “Pathway to the Stars,” shows another facet of Abbott's photographic enthusiasm. The picture, he tells us, was made on Agfa Superpan Press, through a K-3 filter, exposed 1 /200th second at /: 32.
The camerawork of Franklin S. Allen (another newspaperman) , whose aerial pictures of Southern California are seen on pages f6, f7, f8 and 19, is too familiar to our readers to require any introduction. Besides, Allen, in his article, tells how and why he made those pictures much better than we could.
\ es, the Bob Levy who made the delightful picture of the boy blowing soap-bubbles, which we reproduce on page f 3, is the second generation of the cafe Levys now serving the third generation of Levy , Senior's customers. After seeing what Bob can do with a Leica and Agfa Supreme, we’d say
he is almost as good at picture-making as his chef is at making Bouillabaisse —and that, gentlemen, is praise!
When you've said Elmer Dyer, you've said aerial cinematography. The pictures which illustrate his article, which begins on page 5, may help the three or four of our readers who don't knowr Elmer to understand what we mean by that.
The picture of the Griffith Observatory on page 21 is no glass shot, so Len Galezio, A.S.C., assures us. It is a bona fide moonlight scene photographed on Agfa Ultra Speed Pan.
Morgan Salon.
Three years ago, Gilbert and Nina Morgan, of the Morgan Camera Shop. held the first Morgan Camera Shop Salon. Today the third edition of this salon, grown to international proportions, is on display throughout the month of June. Its worth seeing.
While Southern California camerists predominate, there are entries from every part of the U. S., from British Columbia, and even from Alaska. We are rather proud to note that 50 of the 77 exhibitors used Agfa films for one or more of their entries.
