A WELL-LIT portrait of a child may be a pretty picture, but posed studies do not carry indi¬ vidual interest and portray the character of a child so completely as a snapshot taken during moments of happiness. Few environments offer such scope and opportunities for successful child snapshots as those presented during a holiday by the sea.
Free from restrictions and the burden of clothes, a holiday at the sea to most children means a gorgeous period when they can play in the water and enjoy7 the nearest approach to complete freedom that they will probably find in life.
There is no need for the photographer to worrv about the expression, or the pose, both will come naturally and pictures present themselves at every turn. Reflections in the wet sands, small figures lying at the water’s edge and waiting for the waves to break round them, and the look of absolute glee when the anticipated drenching takes place, all make attractive pictures.
If all the conditions are n^t just right for the snap the first time, there is no need to hum7, all sense of boredom is forgotten and few children will mind lying there in¬ definitely, each wave being a novelty in itself.
General brightness and re¬ flected light eliminate the bug¬ bear of under-exposure, and rapid shutter speeds can be a Mermaid.

it is a much easier matter to obtain striking pictures in shadow by exposing against the light, and providing an effi¬ cient hood or shade obscures direct sun¬ light from the lens of the camera, it is possible to throw up the figure with bright outlines caused by back lighting, and still obtain sufficient detail in the shadows to record the features.
Naturally, this method of lighting must be used with discretion, but it obviates any possibility of very heavy shadows on parts of the face caused by the nose or chin, which are so familiar to most of us in our holiday snaps. Also
