A Flash in the Night Pays Off
USING your camera and flash
attachment outdoors at night
may not pay off in a fashion quite
cb amntic as the picture above
did for the young lady who took
but it is sure to pay eff in
interesting pictures.
There is an unusual story be
hind the picture we’ve chosen to
illustrate today’s column. It was
made by an 11-year-old girl, using
a box camera, and with it she won
the SI,OOO Grand Prize in the ani
mals and pets class of the 1953
Newspaper National Snapshot
Awards.
Patricia Delaney, of Schenec
tady, New York, was at a camp
in the Adirondacks last summer
when one evening she-spied the

so I ran in to get my camera and
snapped them,” Patricia explained
when interviewed after winning
the prize.

R
A
STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKERS
Remove Cellophane Wrapping
If you have new lampshades
wrapped in cellophane, be sure
to remove the wrapping. Cello
phane has a tendency to shrink
with heat from the light bulb
and warp the shade as well as
creating almost permanent dirt
streaks on the lampshade. The
cellophane cover also reduces the
amount of light.
To quickly remove wrapping,
clip through cellophane at a
horizontal level. It can then
easily and quickly be lifted off
from the top and from the
bottom.
Raisin Nut Sauce
Combine 1% cups sugar with
3/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon
white com syrup, and cook over
I was delighted to run into this
picture and the story with it be
cause I don’t know of any better
way to convince ycu that flash
snapshooting outdoors at night is
easy.
Outdoor activities at night
such as skating or tobogganing
parties in northern climes, the
beach parties in the balmy south
land—offer excellent picture
taking opportunities.
There is no difference between
taking flash pictures indoors and
taking them outdoors at night.
The same thing is important to
remember—distance. The light of
the flash falls off rapidly. These
small bulbs are powerful, but ob
viously cannot light a large area.
So watch your distance. Figure it
correctly by following the instruc
tions packed with your film or the
chart on the flashbulb carton.
They’ll give you the right answer
for the type of film and bull
are using. —John Van G •*’ *
