"Oh, Margaret · cried her aunt next morning,

The most unfort unate thing was not very serious. One
of the flats in the block opposite had been rented by
the wealthy Wilcox family. That Margaret's aunt, Mrs
Munt should be the first to discover the 'misfortune'
was not surprising. The flats interested her greatly and
she watched their every change most carefully. She
claimed, of course, to hate them - they made the
neighbourhood look too modern; they blocked out the
sun; they attracted the wrong type of person. But in
truth, Mrs Munt found her visits to her nieces twice as
in teresting since Wickham Flats had been built.
Indeed, so fascinated with these flats was she, that
aher just two days with her nieces she knew more
about them than almost anyone else in the
neighbourhood.
Margaret listened to her aunt politely. However, she
could not agree with her that the Wilcoxes arrival
would throw a cloud over her sister Helen's life.
"Helen won't be affected," Margaret explained "She
has plenty of other things to think about. Besides, she
got off to a bad start with the Wilcoxes and she'll want
nothing to do with them, just like us."

Wildlife Photography: Pointers for Beginners
Th ere is probably no more cha llenging subject for
photog raph ers than wildlife. Animals are usually unpredictable
and ca n sometimes be dangerous. However, the challenge of
wildlife photography is precisely what makes it so rewarding .
The best wildl ife images create a powerful emotional
connection between the viewer and the animal. But success
requires planning, timing, an d technique. Here are a few tips
for getting started .
To produce winning wildlife photographs you need to know
you r subject inside-o ut. Efl D It may not be obvious, but
unless you understand the animal 's behaviour and lifestyle, you
really don't have a hope of getting the perfect shot.
When photographing most creatures, it is generally better
to shoot at the eye level of the subject. mo But
wildlife portraits gain life by making a connection between th e
viewer and the animal , and, as with humans, the window to
that connection is the eye. Also, always ensure the eyes are in
focus. If the eyes aren't sharp in the primary subject of you r
photograph, most times, the photograph just won 't work.
It is a good idea when starting out to practise taking wildlife
images at places where animals are used to seeing humans.
mo Th is way, you can experiment with lighting and
composition without wasting ti me seeking out a subject.
