It all began with our fireside shots using flood bulbs tucked back la the fireplace to simulate firelight From these fireplace shots they were good ones, too we proceeded to candlelight and lamplight For the shots by candlelight we used real candles. Some were In branched rnndslabra which are very attrac tive In pictures and for one series, we arranged a birthday partr with a oaks and small candles. It waan't anybody's birthday, really but a caks had Just been baked for Sun day, and ws managed to borrow It Of eourse, candlelight is rather eak so we ased high sped film and time exposures. By bsviog several caadlss, and placing the subjects quite sear them (but not too cloae for safety) ws were able to f make exposures of to one second at tS.l. That would be two to four seconds with a box camera and, don't forget, high speed film. Daytime film is much slower by the yellow candlelight. Ws used two lamps In our lamplight pictures. One was a kerosene lamp, with an Interrstlng oM- - WI t -- - Hlah speed film sndles not toe fsr from tha aubject lens set st i' and c one-hastcond time exposure got this perfectly.

With that one, we got good results at tha same exposures used for candlelight. The other lamp had a chimney and base, like the oil typea, but waa wired for an electric bulb. When Ann held the j lamp, ahe shielded the bulb with ' her hand and we concealed the electric cord, too so ths results , were quite realistic. Exposures were shorter for our electric lamp but the time will a- t7 tiepeno on wi waiiage 01 iwju bulb, and its distance from tha subfl Ject That's the point to keep In mind when you try these special shots. The nearer the subject, the stronger the light It works the sams way when you se photo bulbs. Candles one foot from a subject are four times as efficient as they would he when two feet front the subject I'm sore youll want to try some of these shots. The nice point about them is that you can have the lamp or candles right In the picture. Sometimes, possibly, yos might get a reflection spot or "flare spot" on the film but ws didn't An. anyway, the shots are so interesting! they're well worth that slight risk.' John van Guilder |
