Entering the world of outdoor Lighting is a bit like buying stereo dfiipment or becoming involved with cameras. Once you start there isnoway out. You will find the simplest of systems consisting of just »ire, transformer, and plainly styled fixtures, to the most complex aid sophisticated equipment on the market, which has remote con-uoltimers that allow you to play a symphony with the lights.See Also His Outdoor Portraits:There is a type of portrait photography, and one which makes a wonderful specialty for those who have the flair to practice it impressively, which requires no studio lights at all and, indeed, not even a studio. This specialty is the pro¬duction of outdoor portraits or character studies.
There is little competition in this specialty, and those who do compete are, in the main, artists who charge fabulous prices for their work. You should go along with them in this pricing policy. You owe it to your fellow photographers, as well as to yourself, not to break down the price structure in this field where it has been held so faithfully by others. I know of one photographer who asks and gets $125 per print for his outdoor portraits. Another, who works with a Con-tax and an 85 millimeter lens, charges $150 per sitting.
On The Other Hand See Other Outdoor Ornaments:ONCE YOU have decided on the framework of your garden, add the decorative details such as arches and arbors, patio furniture, statues and other outdoor ornaments. Resist the temptation to have too many things, otherwise your garden will look fussy and cluttered. Whatever Ornaments you are using, they should be placed so as to appear the inevitable outcome of the garden design, rather than just an afterthought.
The use of metals in the interior Decoration of both England and America has followed similar lines. In the 17th century most of the hard¬ware in both countries was made in wrought iron, although in England far more thought was put upon design than in America, where the village blacksmith usually made a latch, bolt, or hinge with utility as the only consideration. Fireplace accessories were also made of iron, although in the more elaborate homes in England brass Ornaments often enriched the baser metal. During the 18th century both brass and iron were used for hardware and irons and firetools, and far greater elaboration was given to ornamental details. The 18th century was also the great period of silver tableware and Ornaments in both countries, and France exported shelf clocks and Ornaments in ormolu that were designed especially to appeal to the English and American public.
