In taking outdoor' pictures of people, are you careful to get the "feel of the season" into each pic. ture, by proper selection of background and surroundings?
An outdoor picture without such "feel" is like a stage without scenery—or, worse, with the wrong scenery. For instance, some of us will take an early summer shot of a child in the yard, with the garage or back steps as a background—when the child could just have been pictured kneeling beside a row of jonquils, bending over and sniffing one. In the latter case, how much more pleasing, and meaningful, the picture would' be!
In your spring pictures, why not associate people with blossoms and the flowers? In summer pictures, emphasize the deep blue of the sky and white masses of cloud by using a colour filter on the lens. In autumn, let your pictures show the withering leaves and brown fields with gray skies or billowy clouds hovering over, as backgrounds for your pictures. And in winter, make full use of the snow, and bare Coats of arms designed in recent rs have included a sausage on a gridiron, a telescope, a safety lamp and a radiometer. Why not a railway engine?
