Shadows Fall Toward: The Lighting of scenics is equal in importance to the arrangement of objects. It is the variation in the lights and shadows that gives the picture depth and rounclness, making the subject stand out from its surroundings. Usually the shadows should be transparent, to a degree, and full of detail. This quality is obtained by full exposure.
If you are a beginner, and are making exposures in sunlight, have the sun behind you but a little to one side. If the illumination comes from directly back of the camera, the shadows are more or less lost, giving a flat appearance. Try some shots early in the morning or late in the afternoon. These times of day present opportunities for splendid pictorial studies because of the slanting shadows.
Attractive shots may also be made from a position where the shadows fall toward your Camera rather than away from it. In backlighted work of this kind, be sure that no sun rays strike into the Camera lens. The Kodak Lens Hood, previously mentioned, provides a reliable safeguard when the sun's rays are from the side, but you'll need extra precautions when you aim more closely into the light. Shield the lens with a hand or hat, held just beyond the camera's angle of view. In such work, give a bit more exposure than would be needed if the sun were directly on the front of the subject.
The large-flowered clematis are divided into several groups according to their parentage. These groups are Florida, flowering mainly in early and mid-summer; Jackmanii, flowering mainly in late summer and early fall; Lanuginosa, flowering at different times between mid-summer and the early fall; Patens, flowering mainly in early to mid-summer; Texensis, flowering mainly from late summer to mid-fall and Viticella, also flowering mainly from late summer to mid-fall. |
