A Flash of Light in the Night-and You've Got a Picture

Try taking your camera outdoors at night during the holiday season. Of course, we don't mean that you should do it just at Christmastime, but we feel sure that if you try it, you'll make it a year around custom. The flash attachment on your camera and the lamp it holds is the key to your success and the ease of your picture-taking. Use your camera and flash for outdoor pictures just as you do indoors. This is just about the easiest kind of picture taking we know. There are so many things that enter into other situations that you don't have to consider. There's no worry about the direction of the sun, or squinting subjects. Furthermore, you've got a wonderful, ready-made dark background, an ideal setting for picturing your favorite people. Flash outdoors at night isn't just for black-and-white pictures. With color film in your camera, whether you're making color slides or snapshots, you have a chance for some really striking pictures that will bring you many compliments. It's all so easy-and you get such good results. So, when you go caroling, when the family starts off on a round of calls to deliver gifts, or whatever takes you out into the night-take your camera. You'll have some fine shots to lend variety to your picture story of Christmas in your family.
