Photography—
WHAT T0 GET? IT DEPENDS ON
* THE RECIPIENT
There Are Many Things. to Be Considered in Getting Camera,
“What shall I buy for a beginner in photography?” That's always a tough one to answer in 25 words or less hecause “beginners” come in assorted flavors. The genus beginner may be & young man who just eats up
chemistry, physics, optics and ma-|"
chinery. Or again he may be a kid of the awkward age with a’ knack for breaking everything. * Or he may be an old gentleman Who wants a nice hobby but whose eyes aren't what what they once were. He'll have quite a time reading those pesky little numbers. Or she may be a lady with youngsters she’d like to photograph but with no enthusiasm at all about this talk on “shoot at 1-50th with a
"medium yellow filter.”
Large Film Costs More
If your beginner is rather busy,
or doesn’t like to fuss, or has very little room for processing and enlarging, then it may be that a camera with a film no smaller than 214x3% (preferably a little larger) will be just the outfit. Then the contact prints will be large enough to please him without having ‘to enlarge them. ~ But the larger the film the more ft costs because to learn photography you've got to shoot lots and lots of pictures. Shoofing scads of pictures is much easier on the bankroll if you use small film. One of the best cameras so well adapted to plentiful shooting by a novice is the Brownie reflex for just a few shekels. It uses very small film, makes negatives 1% inches square on size 127 or “vestpocket” film.
- “Has Good-Sized Image
This little camera has a goodsized image in the finder, much bigger and brighter than the find-
“er of an ordinary box camera. Yet
it’s as simple as the good old ‘box; no focusing, no setting of shutter
or diaphragm—just aim and fire
away. However, you'll never learn much photography from one of these ready-to-shoot machines. Which is probably just as well, “ Anyone who really is bitten by the photography bug soon progresses beyond this type even though he may always be grateful to the small reflex for teaching him composition and picture sense while freeing his mind from technique right at his nervous; fumbling start. Furthermore, some people are naturally allergic to inexpensive articles. These people just have to have a really fine camera right at ‘the start. $4 »
Club News
There are so many speeialists in the Bell Telephone Camera Club they've had to juggle meeting nights around so everyene can take & crack at his particular forte without. getting in the hair of the rest of the gang. : Henceforth the movie school is scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month; the regular meeting is lined up for the second Tuesday; the fourth Tuesday is reserved for the movie meeting.
While the special nights are be-| " ing moved into a set pattern the - next movie school session will be

. Incidentally, of the 26 prints the local Bell outfit sent to the Tenph Annual Bell System Salon in New York, nine were chosen to be hung. Cqnsidéring .that 13 clubs over the nation submitted 477 prints, the selection of nine from here gives the Indianapolis group quite a batting
~ average.
Some of these 26 prints were taken from the local club’s fourth annual fall salon which turned the lobby of the New York St. building into a print gallery last month. These prints were judged by Robert Young, Mofrow J. Allen and Ralph A. Fenimore, who came up with this list of winners: First: “Dizzy Heights,” by J. W. Sears; second, “Thru the Archway,” by J. G. Harden; third, “Summer Clouds” by C. E. Brown; honorable mention, “Boats and Shadows,” by 1.) H. Ridgway; “Mission Doorway.” by M. J. Luichinger, and “Ho Hum,” by Mr. Ridgway.
