Instantaneousor Snap Shot Exposures
fn making instantaleous or snap shot exposurcs use the
largest diaphragrn stop. Snapshots are usuallv nade while
holding the camera in the harrcl, the light shouicl therefore
be bright sunshine. On blight clays snap-shots can be mat'le
at any time during the clay from three hours after suirrise
to three hours before sulset. Earlier or later than this, short
time exposures should be given. It is a goocl rule ner-er to
photograph directly toward the sun, the best position being
to have the light shining from behind the operator or over
either shoulder anci clirectly on the object to be photographed,
If the direct rays of the sun strike the lens cluring the ex-
posure the picture rvill be blurred. Do not trv to photograph
moving objects at a shortcr c'listance
thal 15 feet distant
from the camera. It is aclvisableto endear.orto catch them
at an angle either coming toward or goilg from the camera,
as goocl results will rrot be obtairred if taken .n4renthe ob-
ject is directly opliosite. If photographing tall buildings at
close range it is necessarv to secure a position as near ,as
possible opposite the center of the builcling, for if the camera
is tilted uprvarci, the lines in the picture r-ill be fountl to
converge because of the fact that the top of the builtling
is of a much greater clistance frorn the ca-era thair the bot--
1o*. This same rule applies .n,hen
photographirg small ob-
jccts such as a ilog; in this case
the c,amera
should be lorverecl
t,o the.center of the object to be taken, thus avoiding any

Whgn reatly for making the exposure holc1 the camera in
both hanils and as near levet as plssible so that the picture
n'ill be in true perspectir-e. Locate the ob.iect in the- fintier
by looking squa.rely into it, nraking sure- that all of the
object rn'hich you desire to photograph falls within the
limits of the fincler. When all is i-l ieadiness release the
