Are You A Camera Fan
With A Yeu for Seascapes ?
Some Practical Do’s And Donjt’s
New York—Are you one of the
millions of camera fans who will
shoot for Marine effects this
summer?
If so, you’ll find some of your
most exciting picture subjects
both on and below the water. In
the current (June) issue of Pop
ular Photography magazine, there
are a number of excellent do’s and
don’ts covering both phases of
marine photography.
For better boat photos and sea
scapes, the magazine advises:
1. Use a yellow (K-2) filter at
all times with black-and-white
film. It will darken the sky, add
contrast to sails and clouds, and
protect ycur lens from salt spray.
2. Use a fast shutter speed—
1/250 if possible.
3. Don’t get the wake of your
own boat into the picture. It
doesn’t help the composition to
have a nondescript white area in
one coiner.
4. Try to keep the horizon lime
level when shooting.
5. The horizon line should be
about one-third of the distance
from the bottom ef the viewfinder.
Your picture will probably turn
out better if you shoot it from a
low angle so that the horizon
divides the boat below the deck
and not above it.
6. Don’t lgt salt water or spray
get all over your camera. When
this happens, wipe the camera and
lens immediately. It’s a good idea
to keep the camera in a sealed
plastic bag when not in use. This
will protect it from the damp, cor
rosive salt air.

Underwater photography is be
coming increasingly popular with
photographers, both amateur and
professional. The cost of entering
this wonderful new world has gone
down considerably in recent
months with the introduction of
good inexpensive cameras retail
ing for as little as $20.
You don’t need atn aqua-lung
either, since any reasonably fair
swimmer will feel at home with a
mask, snorkel tube and foot fins.
These can be purchased for about
$12.
Popular Photography offers
these practical tips on underwater
picture-taking:
1. You can use color as well as
black-and-white. Try Super Ansco
chrome with an ASA rating of 100
in depths to ten feet. From ten to
twenty feet, increase the rating to
200. Black-and-white with equiva
lent ratings will, of course, also
do the job.
2. Remember that there is image
distortion in water. Objects are
magnified about 25 per cent, for
on thing, and distances are trickey.
But you don’t have to compensate

Only Ford let* you choose from a stool-top

maker . . . could offer you two different
kinds eonvedibles. There’s the fabric
top ’^Fagd ...^upwer and the steel-top Ford
Sky liner. They’re both styled and powered
in the T^indo^ird tradition.
Nowhere eke con you Rnd so much con
vertible for ee little money. Take the Ford
Sunliner for example. A comparison of
manufacturers’ suggested retail delivered
prices shows it’s America's lowest-priced
convertible. As for the Skyliner, it's the
world’s only 2-in-l fine car ... a snug
steel-top and a breezy convertible. Just
touch a button. The all-steel top vanishes
into the rear deck . . . and you’re sitting
pretty in the smartest convertible ever.
So if yoo'ro the Mm-worshiping typo, better
see your Ford Dealer and get all the rea
sons why Ford outsells its nearest com
petitor in convertibles by a whopping
2-to-l margin!
