BETTER CHANCE OF OUTDOOR PICTURES IN WINTERTIME


by Howard S. Cotton (Photographic Information Council)


TF you arc one of those amateur photographers who believes -*■ that outdoor portraiture comes to an abrupt end with the putting back of the clocks which heralds wintertime, think again. For the chances of success in this field of photography are considerably higher than during the summer months.


There may not at first seem to be much logic in this, but the fact remains that taking pictures of people outdoors is easier


in winter than in summer. Photography, by definition,

Junior and Senior scouts entered various competitions, gaining successes in ambulance work, and winning the recent North East Lan­ cashire Senior scout competition. During the year camps had been held in the Ribble Valley, in Kent, in Ireland, and at the home of scouting Gilwell Park, near London. The school guides, with an


the sheer intensity of the sun by using a slow and therefore less sensitive film, and by stopping dov.n the aperture or using a faster shutter speed—or both. But this does not help to reduce the ratio between the highlights and the shadow areas. All too often, the shadows thrown by the summer stm are a dense black and anything but flatter­ ing. and some films are just not able to cope with the extremes. This applies particularly to colour emulsions, where in strong sunlight it is virtually impos­ sible to expose correctly for the highlights and still obtain detail in the shadow areas; without, that is. resorting to special filling-in devices.

In summer Ribblesdale guides gained the trophy for first place in the Clitheroe and District Patrol Competition, and two guides were chosen to attend a course at Waddow Hall for patrol leaders from all parts of the country.


GOOD CAUSES


Miss Smith reported, had been many and various throughout the course of the year. As a result of the harvest festival service many sick and elderly people had received gifts of fruit, flowers and other pro­ duce. Several boys and girls had also visited old people from time to time, to do errands and odd jobs for them, or just to sit and chat with them. Financial con­ tributions had been made dur­ ing tlie year to the blind and other good causes. A badminton club had been

advantage to taking portraits in I winter, though a more subtle one. In summer, the photo­ grapher often has to use a small aperture to cut down the amount of light entering the camera, and selecting an “f” value of 11 or even 16 invariably produces a good depth of field. In other words, the zone of apparent sharpness takes care of any error in focusing, and renders features both nearer the camera than the model, and further away from it. sharply in focus.

As a general rale, home insulation should pay for itself within four years; thereafter you begin to pocket the fuel dividend. In the meantime you will have

insulation pays big dividends. For instance, the heat loss through an outer wall can be reduced by ten per cent by past­ ing polystyrene sheeting on the inside—the sheeting, which costs just under threepence a square foot, should be protected with lining paper and painted, or covered with wallpaper. The worst single-thief in a room — the flue of an open fire—can be checked by an adjustable throat restrictor costing under £5 to buy and install. The simplest of all insulation — weather - strip and draught-exoluder on door


and window frames — probably saves enough warmth to pay for itself every week. The question is not whether you can afford to insulate but whether you can


afford not to.

Most policies require the house­ holder to pay the first £15 of any building claim resulting from storm, tempest or flood or from burst pipes. If you want to be covered for- this £15 too, it is possible, for an extra premium. Householders’ insurance policies do not cover damage to the structure of buildings caused by frost nor dilapidation caused by the passing years or insufficient maintenance.

If you arc fully protected by your own care and fully insured too the hazards of winter need cause you little concern.
