position is very good, but the camera could have been placed several feet nearer the main object, which is the man.
You will notice that the same amount of space has been trimmed on all four sides, the result being a better picture Here he would not have needed to even change the lens, simply moved a few feet closer into the picture.
Our best example is Scene 40, page 40. Here the photographer has allowed his two figures to get too far away from tin1 camera, and his camera has been pointed much too far to the left. The picture is improved greatly by tin1 line A and should remain that size but for one thing. Line .4 brings tin1 figures too close to the center of the picture, therefore we cut again at line B. likewise you will notice that there was too much uninteresting foreground and too much blank sky. This picture shows not only poor composition but poor camera placement, and also a choice of the wrong lens.
Several of the amateur cameras carry more than one lens and the amateur should learn that these extra lenses are there for a purpose. The two-inch lens makes a picture nearest to what the eye sees but many times the camera can not be placed close enough to the subject to give the results and here is where the three-inch lens conies into use. At many places of interest it is impossible to get the camera far enough away from the subject to secure good composition and in a case of this kind you must resort to a lens of shorter focal length. An example of this type of location is Yosemite Valley in California. The gigantic cliffs are so enormous that one is hemmed in by a great wall and without the shorter focal length lens it is impossible to get far enough back to bring out the beauties of some of the finest subjects found there. It is then that you use the l1/^ inch lens or if you have it available, the 25 millimeter.
Many of the points which were covered in the chapter on pictorial composition have a direct bearing on this subject of camera placement, but once you have learned the rudiments of pictorial composition, the proper camera position and the correct choice of lens will become second nature.
