Canada, 156 King Street West And in Thirty Foreign Cities All Around the World smaller aperture. If in doubt as to whether to use f:8 or f:ll, one should use f :11. Where the light is soft and diffused, overexposure is less likely to occur. In soft lights one should not hesitate to open up sufficiently. One should study light conditions carefully and the results he gets from judging them. After all there is really no substitute for good judgment. Stereoscopic effects or third dimensional pictures may occasionally be obtained from aboard ship. These should be tried for when conditions are favorable as the stereoscopic effect lifts a picture out of the commonplace into the unusual. The view should have objects in foreground, middle distance and background. A position high enough to look somewhat down on rather than directly at the picture is desirable. The ship should be moving slowly and steadily as when going into or out from the dock. The camera should be held rigid. Resting it against some part of the ship's structure is recommended. One should let the scene float past the lens with the motion of the ship. DON'T PANORAM! If light conditions happen to be favorable and your film properly exposed, you will probably be surprised and greatly pleased when you see such an exposure projected. Sunsets at sea are good subjects if one is fond of them. Clouds at or near the horizon as the sun in sinking are desirable. With the sun partly obscured, but shining brightly behind a cloud, the effect is often charming. A series of short shots of about a foot in length taken one minute apart will give the effect of the sun sinking into the ocean. The camera must be held rigid in one spot all the time. With partly obscured sun the aperture should be set at f:16 and shot taken directly at the sun using no light filter. When no clouds are at the horizon and the sun commences to dip into the water, aperture should be set at f:ll and 2 x light filter used and shot taken directly at the sun. For moonlight path effects on the sea one should use f :16 and 2 x light filter after five o'clock. Before five o'clock f :16 and 4 x light filter should be used. A sailing vessel in the foreground crossing this path of light adds charm. When made by a movie camera, a pictorial record of a cruise around the world, if properly filmed, carefully edited, and well titled, is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It repays many times all the trouble and expense necessary to produce it. ii Produce Professional Color Effects In Home Movies [ttach a KOLORAY to your 16 m/m projector and show your pictures in shades of amber, blue, green and red.
