I CAMERAS BY THE SEA
jjppr . Jp
Enlarged from portion of negative taken with a folding camera giving post
card size pictures. Exposure 1/100 second at f.ll on supersensitive film.
COMES the time every year when
many of us make for the sea
shore for cool breezes, swimming,
sailing, motorboating, fishing, and
the many other pleasures that go
with a sojourn by the sea.
Any one can enjoy this fun with
out a camera, but verily to go to the
seashore and return without having
made a picture-story of your visit
seems as useless as trying to write a
book about it with water for Ink.
When you have finished, your mem
ory may retain some of it for a time,
hut eventually you remember little
else than the fact that yon went
there. Years later you will say, “Yes,
I had a good time that summer,” but
what did you do, whom were you
with, what did you see? Bet a mil
lion that with nothing in your snap
shot album to show for it, you will
remember scarcely anything of the
details of that good time, and re
gretfully wish you could.
Another reason for taking your
camera to the seashore is that where
the sea is, with Its bright reflecting
waters, you have exceptional
chances for making fine pictures.

Usually by the sea even on cloudy
days you have more light to work
with than inland. The extra light
gives you opportunity to “stop
down” (use a smaller lens opening)
and thereby obtain sharp, clear-cut
details.
Also there is no better place for
interesting action pictures than a
summer seaside resort, considering
the many varieties of speed and
motion that are in evidence —from
sea snails to sea planes, not forget,
ting the high diving sea nymphs.
In fact, except for the beach.ltself
and the hotels, cottages and
wharves, everything seems to be in
motion. Os course, if you want close
ups of fast action yon should be
equipped with a fast camera, but
don’t forget that splendid work with
many seaside scenes is done with an
Inexpensive fixed focus camera. If it
is rapid motion such as an approach
ing motorboat, shoot from an angle
at a distance of 75 to 100 feet and
usually you get It without blur. Then
have an enlargement made when
you get home.
