There will be information on camera handling and controls, which films are the best for which situations, how to get the best exposure using correct camera and lighting techniques, composition and technical excellence. excel-lence. This series will be instructional instruction-al in nature, so for maximum benefit I would suggest practicing practic-ing the techniques taught here. Feel free to bring your images in for critique. I'm not quite as harsh as Simon but I will help any way I can to make you a better photographer. During this instructional series se-ries please use the coupon in the services directory of this paper to save a little money on your processing. You will receive professional pro-fessional quality finishing and professional instruction and save money all at the same time. Let's start with camera handling. han-dling. On the surface this might seem too elementary for you but of all the poor images we see most have technical problems associated as-sociated with how the camera was handled and set. Proper handling can make the difference differ-ence between getting the shot you want and missing it all together. to-gether. It can make the difference differ-ence in sharpness, exposure and compositioa The greatest picture pic-ture moment in the world can be lost if you are fumbling with the camera, if the exposure is set wrong, if the focus is off or if you jiggle the camera as you press the button. When handling your camera becomes second nature, the results are consistently consis-tently better pictures. The first thing to consider is the camera lens. Make sure the lens is clean. Taking a picture through a dirty lens is like looking look-ing through a dirty window. The picture will be soft and hazy. To clean the lens, first carefully blow away any dirt or dust being be-ing careful not to spit on the lens. After removing the loose dirt, breath onto the lens to form a mist and carefully wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For those of you serious about lens cleaning clean-ing a good kit should include canned air (or use filtered, compressed com-pressed air), lens cleaning fluid, lens tissues, a lens pen and a mi- L Salad Bar 10.99 99 r."

Never use solvents, soaps or detergents de-tergents or chemically treated cloths intended for eyeglasses. Now let's look at loading and unloading film. Those of you with digital cameras can skip this part and return next week. Always load and unload your camera in subdued light, especially espe-cially with high-speed films. If you can't find any shade close by, position yourself between the sun and the camera when loading and unloading the film. This will prevent light from striking the film causing orange or white streaks in your image. Carefully read your camera's loading instructions. With 35mm film the film slot must face the film take-up spool of the camera and the light colored side of the film, the emulsion side, must face into the camera body. Be sure to wind the film with the correct rotation of the take-up spool and make sure the film perforations engage the sprocket sprock-et teeth. After closing the camera cam-era back, make sure the film is automatically advanced to the first frame or manually advance it three frames. 35mm film comes in exposure lengths of 12, 24, 27 and 36. After shooting all your allowed al-lowed frames stop. DO NOT ADVANCE AD-VANCE THE FILM PAST ITS INTENDED LENGTH. Most cameras will allow you to or will automatically advance the film until it pulls tight on the cassette spool. If you advance beyond the exposure count listed on the film cassette you will almost always lose the last frame you shoot and sometimes the film can become completely detached from the cassette. The film is intentionally left longer by the manufacturer to accommodate processing needs. We need the leader and tail for clips and splicing. You will not save any money by trying to sneak more out of the film than it's intended for. If you need another an-other shot, load another roll of film. If you have an automatically automatical-ly rewinding camera, shoot the last intended frame number and if it doesn't rewind, stop and press the manual rewind button. Your instructions will show you where the button is. When unloading the film, first make sure it has been rewound. re-wound. If you're not sure press the rewind button or turn the rewind knob until it turns freely. If you open the camera back without the film rewound, it will be completely exposed to the light and will be ruined. Good luck with your shooting this week.
