TAKING BETTER PICTURES
A slight amount of extra thought and effort on
your part can often turn an ordinarylooking
photograph into a stunningly-attractive one. While
there are so many factors concerning this that
probably thousands of books have been written on
the subject, here are some basic picture taking tips
that will help you take better pictures starting
with your very first roll of film ...

ove in close to your subject. A tremendous
advantage of your Cosmorex single-lens-reflex
camera is the ability it gives you to shoot at close
distances, simply and precisely. Wherever
possible, use this extended focusing range of your
camera by moving in as close as possible to your
subject, thus eliminating extraneous foreground
and background material and concentrating the
viewer's interest on the subject.
C
hoose backgrounds carefully. A photograph of a
person standing in front of a building is seldom as
attractive as a photograph of the same person,
kneeling in front of a nearby tree or bush. Choose
surroundings and backgrounds which complement
your subject, yet do not take the viewer's interest
away from it. If an attractive, or inconspicuous
background is not handy, expose at the widest
possible lens opening (ideally, at f/2); usually this
will throw the background out of focus, and make
your subject stand out clearly.
D
on't be afraid to experiment. For example, a
silhouette of a person watching a sunset can be
much more attractive than an ordinary photograph
of the same scene. You can obtain a "silhouette"
effect easily by shooting at a lens opening two or th
