Greatly Color: IN BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY as practiced today, no accessories are more widely used than color filters. Easily attached in front of your Camera lens, they are capable both of giving your pictures more accurate tone values and of adding greatly color to their effectiveness and charm. Color filters will serve you well in taking landscapes and other pictures, especially if you understand what they do and how they do it. This chapter covers not only these important devices but also other lens attachments which you will find equally interesting.
The living room is the area of the house for relaxing in, enjoying leisure activities, getting together with the family, and entertaining. And so the ideal color scheme should reflect all the moods and atmospheres required of this multipurpose space. Personal tastes vary greatly color, but one approach would be to decorate a busy living room with plain, pastel walls or small-patterned wallpaper. In a sparsely furnished room, splash out with bold, contrasting colors and patterns to enliven the Decoration and perhaps create two or more color zones.
There is no monotony in rural subjects, either, and you may use anything from a view Camera to 35mm equipment to photograph people, farming methods, buildings, machinery, livestock and landscapes. Stick to the modern—not "tobacco roads."$4.00—less whatever professional discount you can wangle. Prints at these prices, mind you, are not the finest possible. A really fine print will cost about ten times the above amounts, or perhaps even more.
If you haven't 35mm equipment, you might work with Kodacolor, a negative-color film which is available in nearly all the roll-film sizes. Kodacolor film is relatively expensive—it costs nearly $2 a roll—but it has a greater film speed than the transparency color films, more latitude in exposure, and the prints which can be ordered are cheaper. A 3 x 5 color print from Kodacolor costs 32 cents, 5 x 7 is $1.50 and 8 x 10 is $3.50. Prints are made only by Eastman Kodak Co., ordered through your photo supply dealer, and the quality has been greatly color improved in recent years. |
