Indoor- Outdoor Shots: Still better for indoor- outdoor shotsoutdoor shots are flashbulbs, alŽthough they are more expensive and more tricky to use than floods. One thing to avoid is having the flash-lit interior as bright as or brighter than the exterior. To look natural, the sunlit parts of your picture must be definitely lighter. Flash has special value when you include figures in your interior shots. Architectural pictures traditionally are entirely empty of life, probably because of the long time exposures ordinarŽily used by the photographers.
Newspaper techniques with a flash-equipped press Camera are best for outdoor activities, while a smaller camera, 2/4 x 2M or 35mm, with its shorter focal length lens and greater depth of field at wide lens openings will be better for indoor work. For best sales, turn out prints rapidlv before interest wanes, get club secretaries and popular students to be your agents on a commission basis.
Stock Shots The real money-in-the-bank asset of many phoŽtographers is their file of stock shots. This can be based on a specialty (some can come up with an excellent picture of any flower ever grown in their section of the United States, for example), or it can include many appealing subjects such as this salable shot of a child. Never miss out on taking interestŽing pictures as you see them, and keep your print file growing.See Also Other Outdoor Furniture:GOING GREEN: Eco-friendly style is gaining in popularity, but it's not always easy to find. Here in the Valley it can be had at Modern other outdoor furniture, based in Van Nuys. Their furniture has a sleek aesthetic with clean, simple lines. And one key material they use is Ipe, a sustainably harvested wood that's three times as dense as teak. "It's one of the best woods you can use to make other outdoor furniture furniture," says company vice president Brett Himmel. "Our furniture is designed for heavy commercial use. A 20-mile-per-hour gust of wind won't blow your chair into the neighbor's yard."
"We sell more double lounges than single," says Brendan Barry, owner of Barong Furniture and accessories in West Hollywood, whose other outdoor furniture furniture offerings are primarily teak and iron. What does this say about the L.A. lifestyle? "Let's just say people like to cuddle," he says with a laugh.
