For hundreds of years, some of the best cloth in the world has been produced in the West of England. This film presents a picture of the beautiful Stroud valleys, which form a peaceful background to the hum of machinery as yards and yards of fine West of England cloth come off the looms. This cloth is unlike any produced anywhere else, for it is the result of skill that has slowly perfected itself through the inherited traditions of fifty generations. No matter what else has changed, in the West of England, the native skill remains, and the family names of the workers — Dyer, Weaver, Walker, Fuller — show the heritage of their crafts. In this film, the color-camera has captured the mellow tones of the deep, green valleys, and contrasted them with the rich hues of the lustrous cloth which is produced by the valley weavers.

WINTER • Continued from Page 413 angle lens is a handy item to enable you to include more of that close-up action that makes outdoor sports, like skiing, so spectacular. Naturally, you should use lens hoods to avoid fogging the film from foreground reflections. It is important to remember that in scenes where snow predominates, the proper exposure would be no more than half the normal exposure in the same general lighting with snow absent. The great reflecting quality of the snow accounts for this great difference. If you want snow to look real in your pictures, you should arrange vour lighting so that the sunshine runs across your scene, producing interesting shadows. There is nothing more dull and hard on the eyes than strong flat lighting on a snowscape. If you are working in black-andwhite you will find that there are certain photographic hazards in the blue shadows on the snow. Since black and white film is particularly sensitive to blue light there is danger of overexposing the shadows. Using a yellow filter, like the Wratten K-2 will absorb most of the blues and help render the shadows a correct tone. There are endless compositional possibilities in snow pictures. If the light and shadow arrangements don't please vou, it is easy to "make tracks" or stage your action on fresh snow so as to get just the right artistic effects to please you. 428
