Snapshooter! Spring Has Come! J The family news photographer records the start of the spring baseball practice of a great team. The speed (7) ball was “caught” at 1/2SO second at f. 6.5.

NOW comes the time of year when according to the poets, “Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil,” when “The joyous book of Spring lies open, writ in blossoms,” when “Spring is In the world and all things are made new.” In the Spring, according to the meteorologists, the sky grows brighter, the sun stronger. According to the psychologists, the human urge for action also waxes stronger, and, according to the astrologers, Spring is an auspicious season. Add these all up and the answer is that it is a grand time for picture taking. Beauty, light, action and omens of good luck —all fresh and new—what more promising conditions can an amateur photographer ask for? So, if that camera has been hibernating in the closet all winter, get it out, dust it off, clean the lens, load up and start shooting. With even half an eye at what you are shooting at, you are bound to get pictures that will bring you lasting satisfaction. Pretty backgrounds of flowers and foliage are waiting.

The season for hikes and auto excursions has begun with opportunities for beautiful scenic pictures of nature in her new dress; also for picnics which simply compel the presence of a camera; also for parades—ta-ra-ra! Have you a good picture of a drum major in your album yet? And once more along comes the circus where, “under the big top,” with extra fast film and an ultra fast ! lens, you may capture thrilling snapshots of that young man on the flying trapeze, not to mention revealing close-ups of the bearded lady and. as the circus press-agent would say, perfectly paralyzing portraits of the ponderous pachyderms.
