Beautiful Color: Panchromatic films enable you to get beautiful color black-and-white results with ordinary Camera equipment, and often without color filters. This does not mean that filters have no use in this work, but it does mean that in many cases a Filter is not needed. In others the use of a Filter adds just enough more color correction to give you tone brightnesses in the black-and-white print that are comparable to those registered by the eye. While these "pan" films are best for black-and-white flower pictures because of their sensitivity to all colors, good results can also be obtained with Kodak Verichrome Film and the proper filter, such as the Kodak Color Filter or the K2 Filter. For information on these, see the preceding chapter.
They'll buy both black-and-white and color pictures, but the big payoff is for color transparencies. One hundred dollars a shot is not the top. Color transparencies should be at least 4x5, and should be offered in both horizontal and vertical compositions. For further details on selling pictures for calendar illustrations, see Chapter.
If you could find a model farm in your community, owned by a highly progressive farmer who has a good looking wife and a beautiful color daughter in her teens and a small boy—of course this would be too much, but let's dream a while—if you could find just such a setup, you would have discovered just about the perfect Happy Hunting Ground for pictures.
tricky that they can't send out just any apprentice to do the job. Second, the best time to shoot displays is at night, when the big photo company has to pay both the cameraman and his assistant overtime rates. Third, the job often calls for only one shot. Fourth, the order often calls for only one or two prints.
Whistler and Mary Cassatt used water color as well as other media, but they had more influence on European painting than on American. Sargent, a master portraitist in oils, turned to water color to escape the boredom of his success in the other medium. His beautiful color, facile water colors of European scenes provided a model of technical excellence. Thomas Eakins (1844—1916) was more interested in reality of expression than in any particular means to produce this end. His water colors are in solid, clear colors of tempera. |
