of these guns. The advantage of the small bulbs to the amateur is that 12 or more can be carried in the same space required for two or three of the larger sizes. At the Republican State Convention last week, both professional and amateurs were using quite a few of the midget bulbs.
NOW'S TIME TO PLAN 500-MILE PHOTOS
If you're taking your camera to the 500-mile race, don’t wait until you get there to decide what you want. Now’s the time to plan for your shots. Just before starting time, work yourself along the fence either in front of the grandstand or in the infield so you can shoot the lineup. Then plant yourself on the inside of a curve in order to get bunches of the cars before they break into

necessity for tricks has been elimnated by the dev elopment of a variety of synchronized flashguns, adaptable to candid and standard popular cameras. Cost varies with these guns. One of those which is proving its popularity has a aouble- -acting socket. The batteries are incased in the reflector. This gun can be attached to any camera which has a tripod socket and is synchronized if the shutter clicks. The price is well down in the “teens.” Several other adequate flashguns can be purchased under $10. An inexpensive “peanut” flashbulb Rdapter can be purchased for any

500-Mile Race
After a winter of dark days and unfavorable lighting conditions, the Memorial Day Race comes to Indianapolis camera fans as an eightcourse dinner to a starving man. Perhaps Thursday will be the one day in the year in which miniature, box and gadget camera bugs will be overwhelmed with a variety of subjects, each with its own problems in speed, lighting and suitable background. Many amateurs will find that their cameras are not able to stop action on a track filled with cars traveling at two miles a minute. However, “panning” the camera will give, in most instances, a negative in which the cars are not blurred and the element of speed is captured. In “panning,” (the name comes from the word panorama)

should aim your lens at the moving object (in this case a race car) while it still is some distance from you. The camera should be loaded with fast film, the lens opened wide and the shutter set at its fastest speed. As the car approaches you, follow it with your lens, swinging, or “panning” your camera in a smooth, jerkless movement. While your camera still is making its swing and while the car is approaching you at an angle, click the shutter. It might be a good idea to try a few practice “pans” before you actually snap the shutter to perfect the swing movement. Remember to follow through, even after clicking, just like a golf player's follow through. If you shoot while the car is ap-

proaching you at an angle, your film will show less car movement than if you try to shoot it as it is passing you. A slight car movement will not make much difference in contact prints, but it will be magnified in proportion in enlargements. The human eye accepts displacement of 1/100th of an inch as sharp. But if an enlargement five times the original negative is to be made, the displacement, or movement, will be five times as great in the print. An accredited chart used by many amateurs on moving objects may ke of some help on Memorial Day. Objects traveling 60 miles an nour move 1056 inches per second; at 75 miles an hour, 1320 inches per second; at 100 miles per hour, 1764 inches per second, and at 150 miles an hour, 2640 inches per second. Flying birds are rated at moving 3540 inches per second, but we have not figured out what that is in m. Pp. h When “panning” your camera remember the background will be slightly blurred which instead of hurting the quality of the final print gives to it the feeling of speed so necessary in achieving good racing shots. Candid shots of facial expressions are often achieved through patience and stealth. This will not be necessary at a race where 95,000 persons are lost in the excitement of one of America’s fastest and most dangerous sports. The grandstands, pagoda and mass shots are still popular with the professional and amateur photographers on race day. The chances for portraits, character shots and a lens full of humor are endless. » 2 » Nine of 10 amateurs are trotting around today with a camera that needs cleaning.

Well here’s a sample of what you can get by the simple “panning” of your camera. Chet Miller, making a comeback at the Speedway this year after his injuries in the Roberts- Swauceh heh year, was hitting 130 oh the Saighavay when this picture was shot.
FAIR TO SERVE AS FANS’ MECCA
Most Exhibits Welcome Camera Amateurs, Expert Aid Is Available.
The New York World's Fair is expected to become a mecca for camera fans again this summer. Last year bamboo canes, comfortable shoes and cameras of all sizes and makes were the order of the day. Favorite shots were those of composition. The extremely well-lighted Czechoslovakia Building with its array of deeptoned glassware again will offer a chance for “almost” salon prints. Cameras were welcomed at all except the Swedish exhibit last year. Furniture and tableware design thiefs were responsible for the Swedish ban, it was explained. The Fair is dotted with camera stalls at which any type of film can be purchased at everyday prices. Expert advice is available at the stalls on the type of film needed. Nearly four million persons visited the Eastman Kodak Building at the World's Fair last year, thus placing this exhibit among the first in total attendance. However, local fans need not depend entirely on the Speedway and Fair for camera subjects this summer, The miles of available picnic ground along Fall Creek east of the city opens a new outlet to weekend vacationists. Picnics still present one of the best opportunities for candid shots which furnish a winter's supply of chuckles. It is no longer necessary for the amateur to close his camera when the sun retires for the day. For picnics an old but ever successful trick in bonfire pictures still is being used. To capture all of the appeal of one or more persons seated around a bonfire is fairly simple. ‘Flashlight powder, disappearing fast in this day of rapid gadget improvement, can be fastened on a stick and shoved into the fire at the proper moment by one of the subjects. The resulting print will surprise the doubtful with its fine study of shadow and silhouette. A more modern method is to hide a hand flashgun behind a rock with one of your subjects to operate it. He can lean over with a frying pan in his hand so he will look innocent. Get set, yell “ready,” push the cable release at the shout of “Shoot, Bill,” and open up. Close at once, when flash goes off. Repeat the shot, because Susie
went running for the woods. Maybe you stopped the motion, but you aren't sure.

As soon as you get along there, open your camera, set the distance and exposure for about the center of the track and carry your camera open. Keep cool and “pan” your camera with the action.
