rage IOC EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Sunday, Jan. 13, 1963 Camera Sharp SKutterbugs Take Clear Photos By IRVING DESFOR Of the Associated Press A reader asks: "How can I get sharp transparencies, good enough for reproduction? I'd like to sell some of my pic tures." , f It's a good subject for dis cussion so let's look into it. To get a sharp picture: 1. There must be NO cam era movement. It takes a con scious effort to hold the cam era still whereas people usual ly jab at the button or lever in a motion that may jar the camera at the same time. When properly done, the camera is held firmly against the face (with an cyclevcl camera) or against the chest (with a reflex camera) and the release button is gently squeezed. Many people can hold a camera and shoot at l25th of a second and get a sharp pic ture. Others require l50th ' or 1lonth to be sure of sharp ness. The faster you shoot, the more likely you are to stop camera motion. ' To eliminate camera move ment completely, there's noth ing like a firm tripod and a cable release. Unfortunately, tripods arc something of a nui sance and most camera fans refuse to bother with them. Then again, some tripods can be pretty shaky when ex tended on flimsy legs, espe cially when a wind is blowing. The point is, anyone going to the trouble of using a tripod should get one that is solid and steady. , 2. Sharpness also depends on the angle of subject ac tion, the type of subject ac tion and the camera shutter speed. It makes a difference if you're trying to get a sharp picture of a jet plane, a rail road train, an automobile, a bicyclist, a person walking or a child' crawling. And it makes a difference whether they are coming towards you or going past and how far away they are. It is easier to stop motion when an object or person comes toward the camera and when it is further away. Mo tion is harder to slop the closer it is to the camera and when it passes in front, from one side to the other. For instance, if you were alongside railroad tracks, you could get a sharp picture of an approaching head-on train at l100th second if it were some distance away or at l200th if it were closer. How ever, it would probably still : be blurred at ll.OOOth of a second if shot broadside as it sped by. For sharper pictures of ac tion, therefore, select a cam era angle so that the action comes toward the camera and is not too close. Visit Out '. . .

Us L Moss ti.J i; y: mm'- I; s I1 H' v 1 .J reporter We've always been proud of carrying Eliz abeth Arden prepara tions but this reporter was never quite so im pressed with the Queen of Cosmetics until a chance stay in the St. Francis Hotel last week found her a fellow guest. The vibrantly youthful originator of rare and wonderful preparations for beauty was making a two-day San Francisco stay be tween a business trip to Los Angeles and a holi day at her Arizona beauty retreat, "The Main Chance." Everything is lavish about her, and the aura of success gives a love ly glow. Her clothes, her jewels, her air of worldliness enhance her reputation as a suc cessful business woman as well as a woman of charm. Carrying out the im age is her salon, only two blocks from the St. Francis. Set back from the street by a small formal garden court, every accoutrement and accessory is the epitome of elegance. Stepping in the door, a wonderful fragrance en velops the visitor and, since Miss Arden has added fashions to her business, a discreet showing of gowns in creases and heightens the picture of a woman of fashion. Outside, at the curb, a French- speaking chauffeur, waited be side a Rolls Royce be longing to a customer having the "treat ments." The bright sun light shining through Union Square lent an almost authentic Paris ian mood. The San Francisco sa lon is only one of many and right now the Lon don salon is basking in glory since it is permit ted to bear the sign, "By appointment to Her Majesty, the Queen Mother." Other honors continue to arrive for Miss Ar den. On Jan. 31 the Uni versity of Syracuse will give her an honorary degree, while gleaming on the jacket of her black ottoman suit, was the red ribbon of the French Order of Chev alier de la Legion d' Honneur. Her current enthusi ' asm is her 12th century castle in Ireland and the strain of Irish-American horses she is breeding there. Being an Irish landowner re sulted in getting her beauty preparations ac cepted in the Shannon Airport free port shop, a difficult feat. Her own beauty se crets? Exercise and more exercise! Miss Ar den takes time every single morning, despite a hectic schedule that would kill most women, to perform a regular ex ercise routine. For hand and arm exercises she favors the hard rubber grippers found in golf shops. She squeezes these gadgets with cir cular and stretching arm motions regularly. Secondly, she stresses the importance of face massage, using a kneading technique. Making fists of her hands, she works them around the chin line in a "home" version of the professional facial. And what's new? The movie, "Lawrence of Arabia" has inspired a sunset - hued lipstick which has been named "Sheik" and will be very big this spring. Paler spring tones will have the names "Pink Amethyst" and "Pink Amethyst Overtone." Expected soon in our store is her newest preparation, "F a . n t Blush." It's a founda tion lotion which will give a glowing look, radiantly youthlul.
