Using 70-mm. Hasselblad still cameras, 16-mm. Maurer movie cameras and roll after roll of color and black-and-white film the Apollo astronauts literally photographed everything within sight: Gumdrop, Spider, the third-stage S-4B rocket, themselves, and the curved expanse of earth below. During the somewhat more relaxed final half of their mission, they also tried out a variety of filters and specialized film to shoot infrared, green-light and other pictures that should teach scientists more about the earth and its resources...
Moldy Chestnuts. What is expected of John Adams, intellectual Brahmin of Boston? Adams (William Daniels) must be thin lipped, disdainful, fanatical, puritanical, rapier tongued, and cordially disliked for rubbing his lazy-brained colleagues the wrong way with his indefatigable insistence on freedom. The audience may color him blueblood and relish his thwarted Harvardian desire to correct Jefferson's English from "inalienable" to "unalienable." And how is Ben Franklin (Howard Da Silva) portrayed? Foxy good sense, a plaguy gout, a dash of smarmy lechery and a few jokes about electricity-that is all one needs for Franklin. And that...

The floor, whose dullest color is a flaming chartreuse, said "festival" right off. Near a balcony projects a lovely pole, with feathers atop, that the actors use for quick descents. The rest is a complicated arrangement of stairs and levels over which the cast runs riot...
...addition to the spectacular rendezvous and spacewalk shots they took early in the flight (see color pictures), the astronauts conducted photographic experiments designed for the study of earth resources. With four electrically synchronized cameras, they shot pictures of selected areas in the Southwest U.S., Puerto Rico, Mexico and Brazil. Using different filters and film sensitive to a variety of wave lengths of light, the cameras actually saw more of the earth than meets...
...instinctive color sense that went beyond mere representation. Grandma Moses invariably painted skies the way they looked-blue, grey or indeterminate shades in between. Blair boldly painted his skies whatever color seemed appropriate. He recognized, for instance, that a blue sky above Wichita, 1923 would be totally inconsonant with the painting's overall tonality, and that it would destroy the closed ambience of Virginia City, Nevada, 1878. So he painted one an arbitrary red, the other a brooding yellow...
