Early-dawn Feature at www.japanese-home-gardens.com

Au Pere Tranquille, called by wags "Calm Papa," is at 16 rue Pierre-l Lescot, beside the Great Market. It starts to open at midnight (as I once] learned by going there at 11:30 P.M. to find it tomb-silent) and servejl till dawn or after. Onion soup, after a big night, is an early-dawn feature.!

In the evening hours at an anchorage, don't disturb your neighbors on other boats. Sound travels exceptionally well across water and many cruising boaters turn in early for dawn departures. Keep voices down and play radios only at low levels. If you should be one of the early departees, leave with an absolute minimum of noise. Be a good neighbor in other ways, too. Don't ever throw trash and garbage overboard. Secure flapping halyards; they can be a most annoying source of noise for some distance. When coming into or leaving an anchorage area, do so at a dead slow speed to keep your wake and wash at an absolute minimum.

That's one reason why the feature photography field remains comparatively uncrowded, despite its obvious advantages over spot news coverage. It's easier for the cameraman to come up to the standards of news photography than to those of feature photography. There are many photographers perfectly capable of doing features, and who would like to do them, who never get into the field for the simple reason that they don't ever see the opportunities all around them for feature pictures. They lack the knack, something akin to the "nose for news" mentioned in the previous chapter, to recognize feature picture material.
