N each issue of the "News" twelve shots are repro- duced from the many film clippings (not less than four inchesI in length, please), full-length scenes, and com- plete reels sent in by movie makers. For each shot selected, two Etchcraft Junior enlargements will be pre- pared and mailed to the winners. The original movie film is not in any way harmed or cut. All film is returned. Unsuccessful contestants receive friendly, constructive criticism. From now on, too, we expect to reproduce "Good Shots" as enlarged by you with the Kodak 16 mm. . Why not send in your good shots? Pack them carefully and address them to Editor, Cine-Kodak News, Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N. Y. To avoid possible customs delays or complications, Canadian contestants will please direct their entries to Canadian Kodak Com- pany, Ltd., Toronto-together with a note stating that the film is submitted for the Cine-Kodak News "Good Shots" contest.

First column, top to bottom Any self-respecting exposure meter would have told Mr. Robert C. Bach of Colum- bus, Ohio, that there was not enough light for good results when he made this 8 mm. black-and-white silhouette sunset scene-yet underexposure oftentimes makes a "Good Shots" winner. The most telling shots are almost invariably close-ups. The beaming baby is from the 8 mm. black-and-white reels of Mr. Robert C. Shoemaker of Cincinnati, Ohio. To Lt. C. R. Low of Kelly Field, Texas, goes credit for the dramatic 8 mm. black- and-white shot of the sleek aviation training ship. Credit for an assist goes to a red filter-important to all black-and-white shots of, or from, the sky. Another good camera angle-and a lovely shot. This yellow-filtered scene of Dottie Lou was filmed with 16 mm. "Pan" by her justly proud father, Mr. Wilson G. Tyler of Binningham, Alabama. There is more comedy in five minutes at a zoo than almost any place you can mention. Dr. Albert N. Mueller of Rock Island, Illinois, made the 16 mm. black-and- white penguin shot at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium. Every month more and more cinamateurs are discovering the virtues of sky a s a background, whether their film is black-and-white or Kodachrome. Mr. Hugh R. Gray of San Diego, California, red-filtered this "Pan" shot of the cross on Mt. Helix.

Second column, top to bottom You probably like the shot of the diver as well as any on this page. But the re would have been nothing to this scene had Mr. Nelson Robinson of Chicago, Ill., failed to use a red filter to "hold hack" the sky and "snap out" the clouds. A screen-filling picture is our ne::d enlargement made from the 16 mm. Koda- chrome reels of Mr. W. A. Kimball of White Plains, N.Y., who, as is true of most travelers, prefers Kodachrome for his movie of the tropics. Fixed-focus cameras will make close-ups, too--a fact well known to Dr. Kenneth P. Wheeler of Brattleboro, Vt. A 75-cent portrait attachment on his Cine-Kodak Eight, Model 25, produced the lovely close-up of the boy and the skis. Other movie makers can duplicate the depth-giving of the Niagara shot filmed in 16 mm. Kodachrome by Mrs. Stuart G. Bowren of Fulton, N.Y. But they can never make quite the same picture-for the bridge you see here was carried away by the ice floe just a year ago. Close-ups for Kodachrome-and with a blue sky background! Mr. M. Ray hack of Garfield, New Jersey, found just the right angle for his 16 mm. Kodachrome shot of the trumpeter. Another 16 mm. Kodachrome shot, and far better than a "We're Off!" title, is the close-up of the ship's siren by Dr. H. J. Davis of Topeka, Kansas. 5 Filter No. 2, slip it over the lens, and then follow the standard outdoor expo- sure guide for regular "Pan." Per- haps many readers will recall the N.
