May - Don't rest cameras at night , i ; r. c&i4 J Night is no time to put the camera away. With a camera capable of time exposures (a shutter that can be held open for any length of timet, a tripod, cable release and fast film photographers can dig into a fascinating world. Paint on filial, capturing bursts of fireworks, rainbows of downtown neon, brightly lit fountains or traffic zooming along an interstate looking like beams The possibilities are endless. A sturdy tripod is a must since exposures are long and the slightest vibration will blur the picture. The cable release attaches to the cameras shutter button and helps eliminate camera motion. A flashlight is also handy for reading dials and seeing wristwatches. A light meter is useless at night so exposures are determined largely by trial and error. For a starting point consult the dial under existing light photography in the Kodak Master Photoguide. If you dont have this information packed book get one. You'll never regret it. If you still dont have the book and are ready to try night photography tonight here are some starting points: At an aperture of f a well-li- t scene should be given about a exposure when using 400 asa film.

Ever look at a friends vacation pictures and wondered why he or she only vacations durng the day? The best time to shoot city street scenes at night is just after a ram storm while the streets are still wet. While you are waiting for the rain to stop shoot the lightning if there is any If the storm is a thunderstorm, shoot the lightning while you are waiting for the rain to pass. Fireworks are one of the simplest subjects to record on film at night and good results can be produced from the first roll of film. Set up the camera and triiod. attach the cable release, focus the lens on infinity. and set the aperture at 'sot1, il (experiment with both and others' and do any other fidgeting that must lie done before the sun sets The shutter speed dial should be set on T (time' or R (bulb). When the first firework begins to fly skyward open up the shutter and leave it open for several bursts. After several rounds have been fired close the shutter, advance the film and begin all over again Now is also a good time to Sporting Goods have some good equipment you no longer I' bag. In extreme cold the camera should be kept inside the coat when not in use. Keep it clean. Don't drop it, jostle or bang it. Ry taking just a few precautions and a little care a camera can last a lifetime. When not being used keep it in a carrying case or gadget bag. This will protect the camera from unavoidable jolts. Extremes of heat can affect the cement holding the lens elements in place and also spoil the film, especially when the film is color. Never carry or leave the camera laying around with the lens cap off and the lens focused on infinity.

All the photographer must worry about is keeping the camera from being Make camera your best friend Many photographers expect their camera to be like a best friend ready to perform at anytime of the day and year. Yet, they treat their cameras like worst enemies. Cameras get locked in trunks and glove compartments, dunked in water and exposed to rain. Its cursed for not working properly and scolded for not shootfng sharp pictures. The truth is, if a camera is going to work right it must be shown some tender loving care and understanding. Dont keep it in a glove compartment or expose it to prolonged extremes of heat and cold. It is true, extremes often provide good picture-takin- g material, but the camera should be protected. When shooting in the rain all the photographer needs is a small plastic the lens until the next round is fired. Experiment with both color and black and white film.

Dont ever take a camera apart or lubricate it yourself. Leave this task for the professfonals and be content with keeping it free of dust and small pieces of film. Dont aim the camera into the sun when the built in light meter is on. The meter will become fatigued and give improper readings. If this happens the meter must be rested.
