USE TRIANGLE LIGHTING FOR HOLIDAY PICTURES EEHRNHMb* Sh» fIK A iOwWI < 118 AWffIHMESI EaWHNBmEaU -j® •SF t 3f>H

Don’t risk disappointments on your important holiday pictures by using a hit-and-miss- picture taking method. Instead, take advantage of the new carefully worked out formula for Triangle Lighting developed recently by General Electric photographic experts. According to General Electric’s photographic specialist, pictures as outstanding as the one shown above are possible for even a beginner with a box camera when he uses Triangle Lighting. There’s nothing complicated about this new technique. All you need in addition to a solid support for your camera, are several Reflector Floodlights and Spotlights which have built-in reflectors, and some clamp-on holders for them Setting up your pictures is easy, especially if you have one of the General Electric Triangle Lighting Folders which illustrates basic diagrams for Triangle Lighting so be sure to get one from your dealer when you stop for film. Here are a few tips you will want to follow for your Christmas pictures. Place the subject near a non-distracting background. Set your camera on a solid support (a tripod or table) and place a Reflector Floodlamp at or near the camera lens. Then, measure the distance from

FOR DAD Ofe The old joke about Dad “monopolizing" Junior's train is ceasing ,to be a joke, according to some toy_ producers, who contend that this year there will be toys for adults under some Christmas trees. Mr. Jay V. Zimmerman, president of the largest hand puppet makers in the world, recently told toy buyers and salesmen that “toys made specifically for adults to play with will eventually exceed the present popularity of children’s toys." This may sound a little unbelievable and optimistic (for the toy industry), but Mr. Zimmerman says the theory is neither radical or new. “For centuries,” he says, “man has been playing with his children's toys under th? guise it was for Junior’s sake, but that's a lot of toywash. They enjoy playing with their kid's toys, but they’re too ashamed to admit it" Right or wrong, several major toy companies are producing specific adult toys this year. We’ll just have to wait and see how many Dads receive some of them as presents from Santa.

the tamp to the subject. Now, measure an equal distance at right angles to the camera and mark the spot with a handkerchief or coin. Place a second reflector Floodlight halfway along a line from the marker spot and the lamp at the camera. (This second light may be placed somewhat higher than the lamp at the camera.) Keep in mind that the first and second lamps should always be on the opposite sides of the camera whether the triangle is set up on the right or left of the camera. , For background light (to make the tree and youngsters stand out sharply as illustrated in the picture above) a third Reflector Floodlight was placed behind the tree, diagonally opposite the second lamp and an equal distance from the subject. Notice how this variation gives the picture depth and sparkle and a more realistic effect. Exposure time should be based upon the lamp at the camera. For simple folding or box cameras be sure to use fast film with an exposture time of one-half to one and a half seconds. Additional variations of the Triangle Lighting formula are pictured in the Triangle Lighting Folder available at all photographic stores.

(jreefiny (?arjs man Greeting cards are an English contribution to the Christmas observance. This-simple-idee of Wishing your friends a Merry Christmas was originated in 1846 by Henry Cole, a middle class Englishman and the idea brought Cole great honor as well as knighthood. Cole’s original cards depicted a Victorian family gathered at the festive board and he had a thousand of them struck off by lithograph. Although the cards met with Immediate popularity and brought fame to Sir Henry Cole, it was two decades before Christmas cards were sold generally. Today the demand for cards Is so great that many companies spend the full year designing and producing only Christmas greetings. While today’s mass-produced cards are quite superior to the original cards produced by Henry Cole, neither time nor poets have been able to improve on the classical message the Englishman penned to the first Christmas greeting cards: “A Merry Chfrstmas and a Happy New Yeaj- to you."
