WELCOME TO THE 32ND ANNUAL MERMAID FESTIVAL! ... Stop By t See Us! South WMV, J1» m-4WI soft WATER SERVICE Ot .lt> H PHOTO-FORUM ■MM CMKI MMM / By \] PZ MM Ernie Feller TSSITS WHY MORE THAN ONE? Let's review briefly lost week's Photo-Forum. We were discussing exposure bracketing. We agreed that under unusual lighting conditions, bracketing is a good idea. Then, I concluded by questioning the value of bracketing under normal conditions. I must admit, however, that I often take more than one picture of the same subject. No, I don't bracket. I simply take more than one shot. I'll tell you why. The best quality and lowest cost duplicate that you can get is the one that you take originally. Think about that for a moment. If you ore photographing a relatively important subject, (whether it be a person, place or thing) and you think that you might need a duplicate someday, shoot it now. Jt's cheaper and the quality is usually better. This is especially true of slides. But, even on color prints, the cost of reprints is a bit higher than the originals. Duplicates of your most important slides filed away in a safe place is cheap insurance against something happening to the ones you show. So, if you think you may need duplicates, shoot them originally. If you're looking for a place that offers quality photofinishing, give Geskefl Camera Mart a try. We re located at lltS. Mata.
