K 0 D A K Page 5 Cameras Click and Capture Clouds Fall's Bright Blue Weather And Cloud-Decked Skies Offer Many A Pleasing Picture Possibility

CLOUDS I N THE SKY? Of course ! Once you've become really conscious of their picture value, you'll never like "bald" skies again. Clouds are magic transformers; and well-chosen, com- plementary formations are often the real secret of appealing shots. If the clouds are distinct, they'll register on most films, we know, but filters help a lot. Let's look at a few samples - and see what we can see. Is the first picture, right, just a group of weeds? That's all. But a li ttle breeze bends the heavy heads; movement and direction are repeated and emphasized by the diagonal line of clouds in the background; and an otherwise commonplace shot becomes a thing of beauty. (A color fil ter held back the strongest rays from the sky, giving the clouds chance to register on the film in pleasing contrast. Sec KoDAK, May, 1941.) In the far right we see a good ex- ample of cumulus or "woolpack" clouds, with their domelike summits and rather flat bases. These are the story-telling formations in which we delight to build our castles in air. Notice how the cloud masses repeat that of the tree, and how the sharp contrast in tone values adds em- phasis. (Super-XX Film, 1/ 50 second, at f /8, with a red filter.) Snapped on Super-XX Film, 1/ 50 second, at f / 11 , with a "G" filter, the man in a boat is another good example of repetition of shape with contrast of size. Notice how clouds complement the range of hills. Have you ever considered adding a few "sky pictures". to your album- fo r variety, and for the sheer beauty of the pictures themselves? The dramatic sky pictured next was caught on Panchromatic Film. An "A" fil ter helped, as well as the fact that the clouds themselves shielded the lens from the sun's direct rays.

TINY PoRTUGAL, clinging to the west- ern shores of the Iberian Peninsula, had become the foremost nation of 15th Century Europe. Great wealth and power she owed to an intrepid band of navigators- Diogo Cam, Bartolomeu Dias, Vasco da Gama, and others- who had sailed their tiny ships farther and farther into un- charted seas until they reached the fabulous Indies.
