WHEN YOU TAKE PICTURES at the beach be sure and
guard against overexposure. The combination of sand
and water reflects a greater amount of light than norm
ally. Get in close and have your subjects doing something
not just posing "at attention."
Getting The Most
Out Of Your 35
Millimeter Camera
By JERRY FIELD,
Back at the start of this series
of columns I confessed that our
family made movies as well as
stills. Which is why, for our still
pictures, we use a 35mm camera'.
Both tvpes of cameras accept
long rolls of low-cost film. With
them both reloading's a some
times thing. You can get 40 to
50 shots on a roll of movie turn
with a little forethought and most
films for a 35mm camera are sup
plied in both 20-and 36-exposure
lengths. Both types of cameras
also have fast-seeing lenses that
ask few favors of hem or subject
Both have lenses assuring unusual
depth of field . . . just about
everything's sharp from way-up
close to way-out-yonder. Both, too,
are great at infighting. With them
vou can really get those best of all
shots closeups. And both produce
small color transparencies you can
show big and brilliant as all get
out on a living-room screen which
ii, my book is the only way to
fully enjoy color pictures
The one thing that a movie
camera will do that a 35mm cam
era will not is to record motion
as motion. But the quick-shooting
"35." unlike movie cameras
and most still cameras, will com
pletcly stop action thanks to shut
ters that can shoot at nunaremns
of a second
There's another parallel. The
color-transparency outputs of both
a movie camera and a 35mm cam
era are best enioved. not as in
dividual pictures, but as part of
a picture sequence ... a pic
ture story. You shoot the same
with them!
Pick your picture subject, and
let s see how it works
A shore picnic? All right what's
the storv?
Chances are it starts at home
as you load the car for the trip
to the beach or lake. Here you noi
only want to tell who is going
along, but also what. So you
snueeze off a couple of shots
one showing your group, and the
other, made much closer, of t he
picnic hamper and other gear be
ing loaded into the car.
Then how did you go . . .'by
what route? A shot of your car
passing an easily read highway
sign provides the answer and you
might want to purposely use a slow
shutter sDeed here so as to blur
the car to indicate pace, while
getting the sign sharp as can be.
Then where did you go? An
other sign should provide the title
shot giving this information. And
now you're there with everyone
busy spreading robes, or sctung
up beach umbrellas, or blowing

up tire tubes or filling sandbuckets
at the water's edge. You don't
lave to holt them verbally! Just
set your 35mm camera to shoot
fast and you II stop them photo
graphically. You shoot, first, from
well back to introduce the set
ting . . . then up closer and clos
er to highlight the different bits
if action. There s lots of turn in
your camera and this is what it
is for. It a swimmer tests the wa
ter with her toe before arching off
& springboard, you can both focus
way in to point up the first shot,
and then fast-shutter the dive for
full detail. When the picnic lunch
is spread you won't make but one
or two get-it-all-in shots, but ram
er move in for closeups of a brief
struggle with a jar top . . . hot
dogs sizzling over the fire .
the colorful salad being stirred
the dessert being served. That's
the way you saw it. And. with
"35. that s the way you can
shoot and show it. And, if the not
idoy ends around a campfire, or
before a sunset, your camera s
got the lens speed to capture it
for a fitting finale.
Filming such as this takes fast
shooting . . . certain snooting
Which is exactly what a 35mm
camera is designed to do!
You can see what you're getting
vith a "35." and know you're
sharp-sighted on it, because most
of them have built-in rangefinders
which, when quickly focused to the
eve. also focus the lens for you
You can change shutter speeds
so's to get plow or fast- action
without a care for exposure ad
iustment. because many 35 s
have interlocking lens-and-shutler
controls which, when one is
changed, changes the other auto
maticaily to compensate so your
exposure remains constant lor
whatever light you re shooting un
der. You can shoot fast, without
even taking the camera away from
your eye to see whether you've
advanced the film, because almost
all "3.Vs" have double-exposure
prevention you can't take one
picture on lop oi anouier uuiess
you intentionally set the camera
in do it. And most. also, have a
single integrated film-advance,
shutter-cocking, and film-counter
control. One swift motion and youi
know you're all set for the next
shot!
Yup the 3"mm camera, .and
the crisp color slides it makes, can
really bring home the essence and
the full flavor of every picture op
portunity. That's why I like them.
That's why. once you've tried
them, you'U like 'em too sure as

THERE ARE LOTS OF GLOOMY DEPTHS for small fry to
peer into, all well protected against accidental falls, in
the Lava Beds National Monument south of Klamath Falls.

Better Management On SmaS
Forest Properties Sought
'Public meetings will be- held
this fall for all persons interested
in getting better management on
small forest properties." This an
nouncement was issued jointly by
L T. Webster, state supervisor
of Natural Resources for Washing
ton, Dwight L'. Phipps, state fores
ter for Oregon, and . J. Herbert
Stone, regional forester of the U.S.
Forest Service. Meetings will be
jointly sponsored by the Forest
Service and the stales. A state
wide meeting for Washington is
scheduled for November 3 in Olym
pia and a similar meeting for
Oregon will be held in Salem on
November 6.
An important key to the store
house of timber products so nec
essary to the economic future of
the Northwest is held by B3.000
owners of small forest properties
in Washington and Oregon," said
these foresters in a recent meeting
at Portland. "About half of the pri
vate commercial forest land in the
two states is in small private
holdings of less than 5,000 acres.
These holdings account for 22 per
cent of the total commercial forest
land, and they embrace an area of
about 10 million acres. Some of the
most productive and accessible for
est land in the Northwest is in
this class of ownership. If popu
lation continues to increase at
the predicted rate, there will be
nearly twice the present demand
for wood products by the year
20O0. And if the Northwest is to
meet its share of this future de
mand. productivity of these small
woodlands must be increased
they added.

survey and study, made by the
Forest Service in collaboration
with state foresters, other public
agencies, forest industries, and
several private organizations,
showed that the future need for
wood will soar to new heights if
America's growing population is to
maintain its present standard of
living. This study, recently released
as a Forest Service publication.
Timber Resources for America s
Future." states that by the year
2000 jusf 42 years away and less
than the me span of a tree this
country will have 100 million more
people than it has today. The study
also revealed that forest lands in
the small ownership category in
Washington and Oregon are only
52 per cent as productive as they
should be.
'Much progress has been made
in the management of forest lands
owned by the public and by in
dustry," continued Webster, Phipps
and Stone, but the timber-growing
potential of lands in all owner
ships is needed to meet future
demands. If the small woodland
properties meet their full poten
tial the farmers and other owners
will benefit, as well as the entire
nation.
"The meetings scheduled for
November will explore whether
(he framework of existing pro
grams is adequate, whether they
need to be modified, whether new
approaches are needed, and how
responsibuties can best be shared
There has been substantial prog
ress in tree planting, forest-fire
control, and scientific management
during recent years. But faster
progress is needed."

Largest Geode
On Tree Farm
One of the largest geodes ever
discovered in Oregon exists on a
Tree Farm near Kosler. The ge
ode is a nodule of stone. Small ones
the size of a tennis ball are fairly
common, but this one is big enough
to hold a man!
The curiosity is situated in a
well-managed stand of carefully
thinned second-growth timber be
ing cared for by the tree farmer
under sustained-yield principles to
produce repeated timber crops.
Trees, he says, are the only crop
nature intended for this steep,
rocky land.

Horological expert Alvin J. Lantz
is giving clockwatchers here a
rough time. Lantz has rigged up a
unique clock. It keeps perfect time
except that it runs backward. In
scribed on the clock are the words:
"Backward, turn backward, Oh
Time in your flight." The quota
