We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
The action photograph of Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin, Scene 50, page 44, demonstrates many things quite forcibly. First: there is a good cross light; then there is an easily discernible focal point of interest right where Charlie's glove is in contact with Doug's tummy. It is impossible for the eye to stray away and out of this picture. Another point is that all of the group are looking at the point of action, heightening the interest in it. The expressions of the principals intensify the spirit of action, and their arms and postures heighten it as well. Charlie's left arm, swung back, anticipates still more action, for you feel that having landed his body -raising blow with his right, he is just about to let Doug have it with the other one.
You will find some of your best action pictures in the ordinary run of vacation time doings and outdoor sports. Great pictures will result from catching the action of a fisherman landing his catch, the spirit of the hunting dog, in momentarily arrested action when he points tin1 game, lending the necessary appeal to this kind of a seem1; the natural movements of spirited horses and riders in a polo game, or even the quieter forms of sport such as Uncle Bill and the firemen pitching horseshoes in the side yard. And, by the way, when you are taking that picture of Dad landing the mountain trout, or even just photographing the mountain stream, shoot upstream and not down, thus shoAving the power of the water by having the stream approach the camera.
In recording sporting events your action will all be supplied for you. All you have to do is to pick your angle's and exposures. In nature you can take advantage4 of movements of clouds and the changing patterns of sunsets. About the only difficulty in supplying action will be encountered in shooting (lie family groups, people whose natural inclination is to just pose for the1 camera and a little self consciously hesitate to do anything. They will usually ask you, "What do you want me lo do?" when they realize it is a movie. One answer to the question is, kk\\ Mat you would be doing if the camera was not there."
