International photographer (Jan-Dec 1935)

August, 1935 The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER Twenty-seven A DAY AT HOME WITH (Continued across the way and a trigger finger on the cable release. When the victim pauses for a breath, get that picture! This requires some patience and practice, but sometimes it actually brings surprising results. It is really great sport to photograph members of the family and friends at home. Furthermore, home is a very good place to become acquainted with the various phases of photography. If we first learn some miniature camera technique at home, we will be sure of ourselves when we have occasion to photograph away from home, for we may well encounter similar conditions. The other morning I found myself looking forward to a full, free day at home. After breakfast, I took my camera in hand and said, "Leica you and I are going to stay at home today. We're going to fish in our home pond, and we may get some interesting bites . . . Anyway, we shall see what happens." "What shall we try first? Ah, my sister is probably sleeping the sleep of a half-dead person. Shall we immortalize her morning slumbers?" Leica assented with a one-second click at f :3.5. The only light for the picture entered through two windows whose shades were half-drawn. Leica and I then tiptoed out of her room and down MY MINIATURE CAMERA from Page 5) stairs. Out-of-doors the sun was shining, and we were tempted. We tried several views of the house ; the one showing the doorway was given one one-hundredth of a i.econd at f:6.3. Then we visited the chickens, doves, and pheasants. We coaxed the Japanese Silkie chickens into posing for their portraits. Using f :4.5 at one-fortieth of a second, I snapped them in their pen. The flowers in the garden were very attractive. I told Leica to be patient a moment while I gathered a few for the house. The flower arrangement was photographed with the help of two reflectors (sheets) and a 60 watt lamp in the reflector. Exposure time was one-fifth of a second at f :6.3. Before we had finished with the flowers, there came my sister tripping down the stairs. We found her a few minutes later enjoying the morning paper with her solitary and late breakfast. "Now we have a model," I joyfully shouted. And so we caught Miss Margot again, this time with the aid of one Photoflood in a reflector at a considerable distance plus the light from two windows. I used f :4.5 at half a second. After Margot had finished her breakfast, I tried some interiors. The view through the arch into the dining room was lighted by one Photoflood in a reflector which was waved around during the four second exposure at f :9 THE WESTERBERC CINEMATOCRAPHERS BOOK OF TABLES (Nos. 1 and 4, published in July, are reprinted because of typographical errors.)
