It is the unusual that attracts at tention but It is necessary to use your eyes and a little Imagination and ingenuity to ferret out the ex ceptional and get pictures that show individuality. ■ When making mirror pictures and focusing for reflected images only, it is necessary to add the distance from the mirror to the subject, to the distance from the mirror to the lens of the camera and then set the focus accordingly. - If it is desired to include the sub ject In the picture with the reflected Image the focus should be set for the distance from the mirror to the lens. The smaller the lens opening the greater the depth of field and the sharper will be both images. Os course, the nearer the subject is to the mirror the less is required in the matter of "depth”. Let us suppose that sister Mary is two feet and the camera six feet from the mirror. If you want to in clude sister, as well as her reflected image, in the picture, set the focus at six feet. If you want only the re flected image in the picture, you set the focus at eight feet. A photoflash lamp simplifies your exposure prob lem and permits a small enough lens opening to gain a sufficient range of sharpness. - After locating your subject in the finder and s etting tilt- focus of vour; csnicr.. at tiie proper distance, set! the shutter for “time”, place a I I'liotofia.-di bulb in an orriituuy iiou. , lamp within reaching from i the camera, til .;- .-i:.ui-_ ..iv . upward ar.d t-> v a ! the r ' ■ . 1:| ?-a cannot tilt the -•'•■ •. v m >ve it.j from ti .• lamp.
