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.

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.
