Photographs by Frank E. Gunnell. FACL
FILM SUPPLIES for a summer's shooting should be kept in a sturdy cardboard carton and stored for protection deep in your automobile trunk.
THE AUTO TRUNK, urges the author, is the only wholly safe place to carry and store your precious photographic equipment when not in actual use.
pensive rolls of film; preferably, also, the camera would have a turret head on which two or more lenses can be mounted at the same time. With that facility, a wider selection of telephoto lenses is also desirable, as well as a few filters. The latter, of -course, will depend on the kind of film being used: haze, color correction and possibly polaroid filters for color film, with yellow and red filters for black and white. The motion picture camera should have its own case, which will house not only the camera, but all extra lenses and accessories in convenient compartments, plus space for an extra roll of film or two.
ADVICE ON FILM STORAGE
A serious problem on the long trip is the storage of the large film supply one must carry. Admittedly, it would be better to buy film as needed along the way; but inasmuch as that is not always possible, due to film shortages that develop particularly in the vacation season, the only way to guarantee an ample supply of film is to take it along.
As film must be kept away from excessive heat, the bulk of your film supply should be packed carefully in heavy cartons and then stored in the automobile trunk. Placed on the floor of the trunk under other not too heavy
luggage, the film will be in the safest and coolest place possible until it is put to use. After exposure all film should be mailed for processing as soon as conveniently possible. A film changing bag might well be packed with the film supply. It will be repeatedly helpful in loading and unloading your camera where shade is hard to find.
EQUIPMENT IN TRUNK
The automobile trunk is also the best possible place for carrying your camera cases, tripod, etc., until they are actually being used. Carried inside the car, the cameras would be subjected to three dangers — dust and dirt, excessive heat and theft. One has only to recall how hot the interior of a car gets when it has been closed, locked and left in the sun awhile, to realize why neither cameras nor film should be kept there.
This is also the reason why the glove compartment of the car is not a good place to carry the photometer, even though this may seem convenient. Even while riding, the glove compartment gets excessively hot for either a photometer, film or camera; all three are better off inside a camera case and elsewhere in the car. The danger of theft of camera equipment also is a real one and another reason why the car trunk is a [Continued on page 237]

CACHING YOUR CAMERA on the shelf behind the rear seat is handy, but exposes it to the dangers of dust, heat and possible theft. Not recommended.
STORING YOUR METER in the car's glove compartment is also a normal move, but warned against by author. Excess heat is hard on a photocell..
