detail in highlights and shadows — and is anti-halation
backed.
The negatives prove it — they are crisply detailed
and full of that rich luminous quality that you need
for your finest pictorial work.

“ The A.P.” Prize Prints.
The annual Exhibition of Prize¬
winning Prints from “The A.P.”
Competitions will be opened this
week at the house of the Royal
Photographic Society, 35, Russell
Square, W.C., and remain open until
the end of the month. As in pre¬
vious years, a selection of those
awarded Hon. Mention in the Com¬
petitions will also be on view, and
the annual award for the best print
for the, year will also be made. This
will be announced in “The A.P.”
next week. In the meantime readers
should note that the exhibition is
open daily (Sundays excepted) and
admission is free.
The ’Nineties by Gaslight.
Mr. Paul Martin, whose comments
appeared in our Jubilee Number, was
one of the earliest users of the hand
camera — the specimen he used in
those days was about as large as an
attache case, and made an embarras¬
sing noise on exposure. Neverthe¬
less, with this apparatus he got very
many street scenes in the ’nineties,
which, shown now as lantern slides
in the carbon process, are of extra¬
ordinary interest as displaying the
difference in habits and fashions
over the space of forty years. As
far back as 1896, too, he was getting
photographs of London by night, and

exhibiting them in the R.P.S., where
they created great excitement. One
of them, by the way, showed the
illuminated front of the Alhambra
in Leicester Square, with the an¬
nouncement that the “ animat o-
graph ” was to be seen for the first
time, but at the Empire, at the same
time, this novelty was described
as “ Lumiere’s Cinematograph.”
Twenty minutes’ exposure at least,
was usual in those days for London
night scenes.
Another Photographic Centenary
Just a century ago on June 26th,
Walter Bentley Woodbury, the in¬
ventor of “ Woodbury type,” was
born at Manchester. When he was
about fifteen Woodbury, who wcs
destined for an engineering career,
entered a Manchester patent office,
but three years later he sailed for
the Australian goldfields, and in the
course of a varied career became
cook, driver, labourer, builder, and
paper-hanger, and finally an em¬
ployee in the Melbourne water¬
works. At Melbourne, Woodbury
took up in earnest the study of
photography, specialising in the
collodion process, which Archer had
invented just before Woodbury left
England. With a partner, Wood¬
bury left for Java, and from Batavia
sent home a fine collection of tropical
views in this process, which Negretti
and Zambra published. In 1863
Woodbury returned to England,
settling in Birmingham and con¬
tinuing his photographic researches.
During 1864 he experimented with
carbon printing, and discovered a
new method of photographic en¬
graving, which was called the Wood¬
bury type. In the following year
he presented to the Photographic
Society some wonderful work done
by this method. The process (by

which a photographic image in
relief in bichromated gelatine was
caused by enormous pressure to
indent a sheet of lead, forming a
permanent negative) was patented
in July, 1866, and the invention
came into general use in England
and America. Before his death
(which occurred in 18S5 as the
result of an overdose of laudanum)
Woodbury took out over twenty
patents for photo-mechanical print¬
ing processes, and for apparatus.
In 1885 a fund had been started to
enable him to develop his “ stan-
notype ” process.
Among the Head-Hunters.
The recent Oxford University
expedition to Borneo, which went
out at a cost of £2,500 to make a
detailed survey of Central Sarawak,
and especially to discover the unique
flora and fauna of the Borneo
mountains, brought back six hun¬
dred good photographic negatives.
The official photographer of the
expedition used two cameras — a
quarter-plate and a 2|X3| in. —
with backed panchromatic plates.
Two other members of the party
had roll-film cameras. Developing
was done on the spot. Drying was
July 4th, 1934
found to be a difficulty, many
negatives being injured by dust and
foreign matter in the air, and the
films had to be hung (securely
fixed against the wind) for twenty-
four hours in the roof rafters of the
camp. In the open, f/i6 was formd
best ; mountain views on clear days
required second at f/ii, with
heavy filter, and on misty days one
to two seconds at f/i6 ; and in the
rain-forest six to ten seconds at f/22.
The work was carried out amid
such distractions as leech-bites, a
plague of sandflies, and an occasional
contact with snakes.
The A mateur Photographer” EXPOSURE TABLE—JULY
EVERY MONTH a brief exposure table will be provided for the assistance of our readers in their practical work. A glance at
the current approximate exposures as here given will serve as a reliable guide for most purposes. The subjects will be varied to
suit the time of year. The following exposures will serve as a working guide for any fine day during the month, between the
hours of 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, with the sun shining, but not necessarily on the subject. Stop used, f/8. The
exposure should be doubled if the sun is obscured or if stop f/ii is used. For f/i6 give four times the exposure. For f/5.6
give half. From 8 to 10 a.m. or from 2 to 4 p.m., double these exposures. From 6 to 8 a.m. or from 4 to 6 p.m., treble them.
From 5 to 6 a.m. or from 6 to 8 p.m., about four times these exposures will be required.
N.B, — The times given above are by ** sun time,*’ The exposures, therefore, which are laid down as suitable for z to ^ p.m., for instance, will be those to be given between
3 and 5 p,m. by the clock, during “ summer time.”

HOLIDAY OUTFIT
-WHAT TO TAKE
The photographic side of a summer holiday is so important that
the matter should be considered in good time. The amateur is
given some hints in the following article upon this topical subject.
IT may be thought that the
amateur photographer’s holiday
preparations are confined to
taking a camera and a supply of
sensitive materials. If the camera
owner belongs to the class of “ snap-
shotter ” who patronises dhe D.
and P. establishments, there is little
more to be done, although there is
a lot to be said, by way of persuading
him to do his own D. and P. work.
For the serious photographer,
however, there are several points
which should have consideration
well before the departure, whate.ver
form the holiday is to take.
A New Camera.
There are some amateurs who
treat themselves to a new camera
upon the eve of a holiday. What¬
ever delights this may offer it is a
plan not to be recommended. It is
suggested that a better method is to
get the camera well before, in order
that it may be tried out, and what
is more important, that the photo¬
grapher may be familiar with his
instrument. Cameras differ from
each other, and the best results will
be secured after a little experience
with a particular camera has been
obtained.
In the case of a new camera there
may be some adjustment needed,
for it does not follow that although
a camera may be new that it is in
perfect order. In ninety-nine cases
out of the hundred it will be in
faultless condition, but we have
known of cases where good cameras
sent from the makers’ hands in
perfect order have developed slight
faults while in transit, or even in
stock, which were only revealed
when the exposures made with them
were developed. Remote though
these possibilities may be, they
should not be ignored altogether.
The photographer who has appa¬
ratus of heavy type may decide to
take another camera on holiday.
For snapshot work, and even sub¬
jects of greater importance, a 4x3 cm.
film camera fitted with a lens of
f/4-5 will be productive of a high
average of successful negatives, and
such a camera can be forgotten until
wanted.
If a camera that has had constant
use is to be taken on holiday it
should be carefully examined. The
interior should be free from dust,
the glasses of the lens clean, and the
shutter should be tested to work
properly. Attention to these sim¬
ple details may save a breakdown or
bad negatives of subjects which
cannot be replaced.
Accessories.
In addition to the camera the
photographer with a variety of
apparatus will also have to decide
what to take in the matter of
accessories. This will, to a great
extent, depend upon the character
of the holiday, the places visited,
and the work which it is contem¬
plated will be done. The various
accessories should have considera¬
tion, and a list made up well in
advance, so that nothing likely to
be wanted will be omitted from the
packing at the time of departure,
which it is very easy to do.
In addition to the camera the
photographer may decide to take a
tripod. If colour-sensitive materials
are used a colour filter should be in¬
cluded. A portrait attachment or
supplementary lens may be useful
for close-up pictures of interesting
details. The exposure meter must
be included; it is very important
when working away from home, or
with unfamiliar subjects, to get the
exposures right, and it is very easy
for a photographer of some experi¬
ence to be deceived.
It is a good plan to write out a
list of aU the things that the photo¬
grapher decides to take, so that it
may be checked at the last moment.
If the photographer is interested
in special subjects he will naturally
want to take the apparatus most
suitable for them. In any case it
is better to anticipate requirements,
except when the luggage has to be
reduced to the minimum, rather
than to risk photographic activities
being limited by lack of the necessary
equipment.
If there is any doubt as to the
possibilities of the district to be
visited, and he intends to take one
camera only, it is a good plan to
leave another outfit packed up,
ready for posting, at home, or in
the hands of friends, to be sent on
if required. A new district may
suggest possibilities, and the worker
may feel that he may like to try liis
hand at new subjects, for which his
simple camera, intended for holiday
records, is not ’well fitted.
In General.
Sensitive materials can be ob¬
tained in all large centres, so that it
is not worth while to take them. If
the photographer uses plates of a
size or grade not in common demand,
and the holiday is not being spent
in a large town, it will be wise to
take a supply. Roll films and other
sensitive materials that are sold as
a side-line by small local general
stores are not to be recommended, as
the purchaser has no guarantee that
they have been kept under suitable
conditions.
Developing and printing should
be left until the return home, al¬
though if the photographer feels that
he would like to be sure that
all is well with his exposures, and
that his apparatus is in good order,
it is a good thing to have a spool
of film or a few plates of less impor¬
tant subjects developed by a local
professional.

CORREX TANK
for securing berfect negatives
By JOY WHITE.
The production of negatives free ;
from spots and other blemislies
is a matter of importance to
every user of a miniature camera.
Even vrith correctly exposed and de¬
veloped films the presence of mechanical
defects ruins the results when enlarge¬
ments are made.
The solution to the problem is to do
your own developing. With a Correx
tank, which is obtainable from most
dealers, miniature films can be developed
I. The Correx outfit and spool of film.
but there are several other excellent
fine-grain developers available.
Tap the tank on the table smartly, to
bring to the surface any air-bubbles
that may be clinging to the film and
may cause spots on the negative.
Rock the tank during the whole of the
development, or turn the knob that fits
2. Putting the filvn with the apron
on to the holder.
Now wind up the film and “ apron ”
on to the holder. Do this by turning
the latter and gently guiding both to¬
gether with the hand to see that they
do not twist. When this is done, put
the holder into the tank and replace
the lid securely. The remainder of the
operations can then be conducted in
daylight.
Pour the developing solution into the
tank through a funnel. The developer
must be of the “ fine-grain ” variety
if really good results are wanted. Perutz
fine-grain developer is vyry suitable.
5. Pouring solution into the tank.
on the top of the “ Correx ” tank ; this
revolves the holder and film inside.
If Perutz developer is used, dekelop^
ment will be complete in ten minutes
at 65 degrees Fahr. Times for other
developers are supplied with them.
After that time pour the developer
back into the bottle, place the tank under
a tap and fill with water, shake it well
and empty it. Then pour in through
the funnel a fresh solution of acid
fixing bath. Rock again for ten min¬
utes ; the film will then be fi.xed and
the tank can be opened. Wash the film
in the tank (still on the spool) ; six
changes of water of five minutes each
is the least that will do.
When it is washed, remove from the
tank and hang up to dry with " bull¬
dog ” clips, one at the bottom to prevent
curling in drying, and swab each side of
the negative with a wad of cotton-wool.
3. Winding the film and apron on
to the holder.
with the greatest ease, and free from
defects, even at the first attempt.
The only time when a dark-room is
required is while the film — after re¬
moval from the camera, is being trans¬
ferred to the spool in the tank. To
prevent any possibility of fogging, this
should be done in total darkness, and is
an operation that is not really difficult.
If there is any doubt, practise in daylight
with an already developed film ; this
will show how easy it is.
First of all, the spool or film holder
should be removed from the tank and
the celluloid band or “ apron ” un¬
rolled from it. Put the tank on one side
with the lid where they can be easily
found in the dark. Take the end of the
film and slip it under the metal clip of
the central stem of the holder (the
celluloid band or apron has already been
fixed to this point), so the film comes
between the band and the metal fasten¬
ing.
4. Putting the holder with film into
the tank.

ON the COURTS
WITH A
Miniature Camera
By DAPHNE BURTON.
The modern miniature camera, giv¬
ing shutter speeds up to i /500th
sec., is an ideal little instrument
for securing action photographs on the
tennis courts. The subject is not too
easy, however, especially if the camera
is a new acquisition, but provided the
exposures are made in bright sunlight,
and the fastest films are used, the shutter
can be driven at its highest speed and
good results assured.
Care must be taken in focussing
beforehand to deal witli figures at a
certain distance only, and then confine
one’s attention to that distance. The
focus can be altered for other phases of
the game which are repeated in the
same positions. The direct-vision finder
should, of course, be used.
The beginner at this class of photo¬
graphy should confine his efforts to
individual players. A good position is
level with the net, where players both
sides can be stalked front view.
One of the easiest actions to take is
that of ■' serving,” as the average
player has his left shoulder foremost
for a fore-hand drive and his right for
a back-hand drive.
Volleying requires greater skill on
the photographer’s part. The best plan
is to focus the camera on to a section of
the court and then to watch that
portion through the finder until a

plaj-er strikes a becoming attitude in
that particular area. Do not photo¬
graph ugly attitudes or mannerisms.
It is not fair to the players, and produces
a most uninteresting picture.
Take great care not to jerk the camera
in releasing the shutter. This is very
likely to happen when first attempting
high-speed work with a small camera.
The best results are obtained when
movements are anticipated, as there is
always an imperceptible interval between
the sight of an action and the apparently
instantaneous pressure of the trigger.
If the photographer feels nervous
about starting with an important match
let him try his hand at club or tennis
party play, where the speed of action
is nothing like so great.
Whatever work he is attempting
he should take the greatest care not
to interfere with the players in any
way. I have seen important points lost
in match and tournament play when a
photographer who has re¬
ceived permission to come
to the edge of the court
during play has suddenly
moved, or in some way dis¬
tracted the players’ atten¬
tion momentarily.
I want to show even the
utmost novices at speed
work that passable results
are possible even at a first
■ attempt, so I am illus¬
trating this article with
the first tennis snapshots
secured with a new small
camera, and enlarged.
In this particular in¬
stance it was impossible
to study background, and
the photographs had to
be taken through wire
netting into the sun, but,
in spite of these dis¬
advantages, they make
very interesting records
of the experimental order.

player performs the same move¬
ments every time ; by careful
observation the exposure can be
made at exactly the correct
moment. Remember, though,
that a left-handed player’s action
is entirely reversed, and will
need to be photographed from
the opposite side of the court
to that used for right-handed
pictures.

torialist. Villages are not so scarce
as the average town-dweller thinks,
and there are few areas in England
that could be truthfully termed
destitute of them. There must be
some thousands scattered about the
country quite unknown to the
traveller along the main roads, and
their isolation is probably the cause
of their not being better known.
The reason for their isolation
lies in the fact that the roads have
left them. In the olden times Avhen
the villages sprang up according to
the needs of the land they were
connected by tracks; but with the
growth of the towns straighter con¬
nections between two towns were
made, with the result that a village
out of this path was avoided al¬
together, with the exception of a
connection by a second-class road.
By F. READ.
an artistic heritage and a beautiful relic of the past,
and one of the most fascinating, interesting, and
profitable branches of photography is in searching
them out from the oblivion that the towns have cast
them into. With a camera and a good supply of
ammunition (either plates or films) there are few more
enjoyable pastimes on a summer’s day than, having
planned out an itinerary of some ten to fifteen miles
in the country, exploring these delightful oases of
the green fields.
There are several aspects of village hunting to be
considered as far as the results are concerned. First
and foremost they represent a vast field for the pic-
Desertdd.
There is an irresistible charm about the English
village. Nestling in the folds of the country¬
side stand manv a hamlet, often not more
than a mere cluster of
cottages, sheltering under the bene¬
ficent eye of the church and enshroud¬
ed in a quiet, peaceful seclusion far
removed from the bustle and turmoil
of the city.
But the day of the villages is past.
Years ago they were the backbone
of the nation, and though now the
towns have drawn all their life and
vitality away there seems to be left
in ev'erj" one the calm dignity of age
and recognition of their former im¬
portance. The thatched cottages
sit along the unpaved road in the
blissful consciousness of days that
are gone and a seeming knowledge
that they have had their share in
the destiny of the world, for from
their low-pitched ceilings and nursed
behind their half-timbered walls
fared forth many a man in search of
a larger life.
To-day the village comes to us as Sunshine and Shadoiv.

HUNTING
With a Camera
The second aspect of village hunt¬
ing is in securing a record of English
domestic architecture that is rapidly
disappearing. Some are apt to call
the pictures the worker obtains of
the cottages “ pretty-pretty,” but
there can be no question that such a
worker will secure in the pursuit of
his quarry a wonderful collection of
prints that will increase in historic
value every year.
The present generation is happily
aware of its responsibility with regard
A Cottage Home for two.
Gilbert White's House, Gelborne
to these adornments of the countryside of which they
almost seem a part, and many of the larger ones have
been bought and reconditioned as modern dwellings.
But such a procedure cannot appeal quite
so much to the photographer as when a
genuinely old cottage is surveyed without
any improvements whatsoever. Certainly
the spending of large sums of money on the
restoration of an old building is preferable to
the erection of a modern villa in its place,
but we are at the moment only concerned
with true record photography.
So in the pictorial and record aspects
there are two good reasons for this type of
photography, and a third is the occasional
glimpse one gets of a life wholly different
from the townsman’s existence. This has
nothing to do with photography, so is really
out of place here, but the side-lights the
writer has secured in the course of his own
ramblings add a string of delightful memories
to his cottage pictures.
Technical needs for the average cottage photography
do not differ from those recommended for any other
landscape subject. Pan. plates or films, a moderate
filter to retain the whitewashed cottage walls a lighter
tint than the sky, a tripod and any type of camera,
preferably of the focussing type, are the only essentials.
While the work is easy it can be attended with a spice
of luck if pictures are to be secured.
If there is one point more than another that requires
special attention it is the lighting of the subject selected.
Sunlight is generally a valuable aid, but even when it is
present there is often only one particular time during
the day — and perhaps a very brief time — when it makes
the most of any given building. A glance at any one of
the illustrations will show the value of sunlight and
its resulting cast shadows.
Something to be avoided is the inclusion of any figure
or “ accessory ” out of harmony with the rural character
of the subject. Any jarring note is fatal.

CARS on the ROAD
By ARTHUR GAUNT.
" t I >HE growth of motoring has greatly reduced the pleasure
I of rural photography,” a clubman told me recently.
" Every country lane is defiled by these vehicles — they
intrude into the subject on numerous occasions. Set out to
obtain a picture of a picturesque village, an old hall, or a church,
and you can almost rely upon finding a car within range of
your camera. Motoring has certainly introduced a new difficulty
into amateur photography.”
Those remarks were true to a considerable degree, of course,
but there are compensations for the difficulties that have arisen
in certain phases of outdoor camera work. The popularity of
motoring has widened photographic scope by introducing a new
field for specialisation.
If you desire a new and novel kind of camera work, try photo¬
graphing cars on the road. I mean the photographing of other
people’s cars as they pass along the lanes, often (as the camera
clubman said) " intruding ” into pleasant scenes. The very
intrusion, however, makes the photographs saleable. You will
probably find a market for at least a sufficient proportion of your
work to pay for the materials, and the hobby is fascinating.
It would be unwise to say that any camera is suitable. A
Rounding the Bend.
photographer who tried to use
a simple box instrument would
find himself greatly handicapped,
although a few satisfactory re¬
sults might be obtained. Never¬
theless, a high-speed camera, of the
pattern required for fast sport
photography, is not essential.
The illustrations accompanying
this article were obtained with a
comparatively inexpensive folding
camera. The lens Stop was f/5.5,
and the maximum shutter speed
was I /100th sec. The sensitive
material in each case was Veri-
chrome film. A camera with a
smaller lens might therefore be
pressed into service, if faster films
or plates were used.
As nearly all the cars will be
photographed as they approach
the camera, and not as they pass
in front, the exposures need rarely

be shorter than i/iboth sec., unless the vehicle is travelling
really rapidly.
It is an advantage that the best work is not to be done upon
the main roads, where cars attain high speed, but in the winding
and tree-lined country lanes, where drivers must proceed
cautiously. A tripod may be used, and the work can be
undertaken leisurely.
The subject should first be chosen for its attractiveness
without a car, and the camera 'jthen rigged up at the
spot from which a true picture ; is obtainable. When the
subject has been satisfactorily composed, the arrival of a
car may be awaited, and
the shutter gently released
when a vehicle reaches the
spot at which it is desired.
Few lanes are in these days
without a car for more than
a few minutes together.
In using a camera with
a shutter that cannot work
quickly, good results can
be encouraged by confining
the photography to points
near the summit of hills
or bends in the lanes.
The reduced speed at which
motorists approach these
points renders a quick
e.xposure still less neces¬
sary.
Several openings offer
themselves for these photo¬
graphs. The manufacturers

models. The main essentials are to show the car clearly
(so clearly that the make can be easily identified), and to have
the vehicle in attractive surroundings. In addition to pleasant
country settings, the car may be shown in front of castles, old
halls, and similarly interesting places.
Although photographs of recent models are the ones that
sell most readily, there is also a market for photographs of
very old vehicles that are still in daily use. The need to show
such cars actually on the road will be fairly obvious.
The magazines should be carefully considered as potential
markets, too. The ordinary (non-motoring) periodicals and
monthlies, as well as the publications of definite motoring
interest, such as the Austin Magazine, should not be overlooked.
hi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
a 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
Provided the photographs show something of (say) historic
interest, as well as the car, they are often acceptable. The
non-motoring magazines may have published in the past
photographs showing the same place, but new prints showing
a car are considered carefully. One editor told me that the
inclusion of a modern car imparts an up-to-date touch to the
subjects, a touch which is lacking in the older photographs.
With these several markets in view, a profitable afternoon
may periodically be spent in photographing attractive and
interesting places near home, ensuring that each negative
will include a car. And this pecuniary aspect of car photo¬
graphy is additional to the fascination of mastering a phase of
camera work which is both novel and modern.
pAKING and Photography
By AN ARGUMENT THAT STARTED WITH THE BEGINNING
SIGURD MOIR. Qp PICTORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND IS STILL RAGING.
The fact that photographic " fak¬
ing ” is condemned by one
faction of successful workers,
and upheld by an equally clever rival
fraternity, is in itself sufficient to indi¬
cate that there is something to be
said both for and against the practice.
Speaking without any bias, we
might say that the exhibition results
show that faking certainly has its
advantages. And we may further
attempt to justify its use by reminding
ourselves that stratagem and artifice
are resorted to in most hobbies,
without, however, creating such diver¬
gence of opinion as that which exists
around their adoption in our own
fascinating art.
Members of the “ purist ” faction
condemn faking because they them¬
selves indulge in no artificial contri¬
vances beyond the very few which
they consider to be legitimate. More¬
over, whilst some “ straight ” workers
declare that faking is in no way of
advantage, most of them are content
to attack the practice on aesthetic
grounds alone.
Simpler Devices.
Now, since both factions are in
agreement as to the validity of the
simpler devices, we may assume that
up to a certain point artificial treat¬
ment is generally endorsed. It is only
when this point is passed that the
photographic purist begins to exist.
Amongst the simpler devices re¬
ferred to, we may include everything
connected with Composition, selection
and the exposure.. How faking can
intrude into any of these operations
may at first appear difficult ; yet,
when we realise that merely by the use
of a light filter we can bring distant
objects as clearly into view as those
occupying the immediate foreground,
the whole thing becomes patently
clear. Even more glaring is the
example of juggling with the ex¬
posure — a trick that few purists
would consider beneath or even be¬
yond them.
Another simple device consists of
using our friends as figures in land¬
scape and other views. And al¬
though the ultra-purist will emphatic¬
ally repudiate any suggestion of
faking in this, we can only say that —
so far as the actual result is concerned
• — there is hardly any difference
between the device referred to and
that more daring one of inserting
the figure after the negative has
been made.
Avoidable Faking.
Now, .faking in its more advanced
forms is not easy, and there is little
point in doing the work when it can
be avoided. Amongst these more
advanced forms we must, of course,
include ordinary retouching with the
knife and pencil — an operation that
can be reduced and even eliminated by
the use of panchromatic materials.
Carelessness, too, especially in con¬
nection with the making of the nega¬
tive, can be responsible for much after-
treatment. Only by studying the
pictorial values of the lighting, back¬
ground, unity, perspective and a host
of other details can much arduous
correction be ar-oided.
Above everything, we should never
forget that seldom can any amount
of careful faking render a picture quite
so charmingly as “ straight ” methods
— whe7t they are available and properly
applied.
Further Hints.
When it is found impossible to
avoid the necessity for subsequent
retouching, steps should be taken to
keep the required after-treatment
down to a minimum. Nor should any
attempt be made to fake a picture
that is obviously of no value — unless,
indeed, it is desired to secure some
practice in the art.
A negative or print, to be worth
consideration, should possess certain
essentials. For instance, the nucleus
of a picture should be there, and
this should appear undestroyed in the
finished work. If, for any reason,
this nucleus be absent, or at fault
to such an extent that the after-
treatment will be apparent, the work
is best abandoned. Scratches and
pinholes do not, of course, fall within
the scope of this article, yet their
presence can affect the treatment.
Every attempt at faking must be
made with the object of producing a
positive improvement in the picture.
It is far better, for example, to leave
alone a “ bald-headed ” sky than to
print-in a heterogeneous cloud study
lighted, say, from the opposite side to
its dependent landscape.
Conclusions.
Faking, then, should be an instru¬
ment for good in our hobby. If,
instead of relying upon faking as a
grand remedy for carelessness, our
advancing workers were content to
perfect their technique and to accept
the broader views of pictorial arrange¬
ment there would be fewer deserters
from our ranks. Most of these workers
are seriously interested in photo¬
graphy ; hence, to restrict their hobby
to a haphazard routine — with a knife
and a box of leads at the end of it —
is merely to invite this lapsing of
interest.
We need not be purists to press
for a variation of this condition, for
by the adoption of these principles
alone can faking cease to be abused.
And with the cessation of abuse,
novice and intermediate worker alike
will embrace the devices with • the
greatest confidence.

HOLIDAY PHOTOGRAPHS.
NOTES L NOTIONS
the
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
To give myself an opportunity of
offering a few more hints
about holiday photographs I
am going to refer to a flying visit to
a little Cambridgeshire village. I
was there for less than two whole
days, and secured a dozen subjects,
although the weather was not by any
means favourable for what I wanted.
Fig. I.
In a way, the photographs I took
are not of the usual holiday type at
all ; but I want to suggest that even
on a single off - day we may find
something worth recording. Some of
my subjects were to illustrate the
decay and ruin of many of our English
farms — hardly cheerful enough a theme
to associate with holidays.
The point I wish to emphasise
most just now is the strong advisa¬
bility of having a tripod available.
It is a curious thing how reluctant
some photographers are to follow
this advice. I was using a 3^X2^
camera, and a tripod quite adequate
for my purpose was one of the brass
telescopic kind, compact but strong.
It is a mistake to get one of these of
inferior quality ; it is sure to be
unreliable in several ways, and a good
one is not only more satisfactory, but
more economical in the
long run.
With the camera on
such a tripod I do not
consider it safe to fire
the shutter by hand.
Movement is almost in¬
evitable. I always use
an antinous (wire) re¬
lease, and do not put
my hand on the camera
at all. I have seen
some small cameras
fitted with a wire re¬
lease about two inches
long. This is a mistake.
In such a short length
the cable is not suffi¬
ciently flexible, and tak¬
ing hold of it will almost
certainly move the
whole camera. I like
a cable six or even
eight inches long, as this can be kept
slack, and the shutter operated with¬
out any risk of movement.
One of the subjects I was after was
a comer of a mill, so old that the
original building was working when
Doomsday Book was compiled. I
once saw this corner
when it was draped and
festooned with cobwebs
in which flour dust had
settled, but when I visit¬
ed it this time it had
been swept and gar¬
nished. However, it was
quaint and interesting,
and the sun was shining
in for the time. I put
the camera on its tripod,
arranged the subject
with a frame finder,
focussed by scale, and
gave an automatic ex¬
posure of one second at
f/ii. A photographic
companion was sur¬
prised at the shortness
of the exposure ; but I
was using a fast film, and regarded
the interior as a light one. The result
is shown on one of the art pages.
To an old cart-shed outside the
mill I gave an identical exposure.
Fig. 2.
This is Fig. i. The sun had ceased to
shine, but pretty good diffused light
was coming in through the open ends,
and gaps in the roof and sides. Al¬
though it was more of an outside
subject than the first there were
heavy shadows under the roof, and
Fig- 3-

Fig. 4.
these had to' be allowed for. It was
one of those subjects for which I like
full exposure and shortened develop¬
ment.
Fig. 2, a simple subject, was taken
under mild evening sunlight, and here
I needed no tripod, but just gave a
hand exposure of i/25th of a second
at f/8. Simple as this subject is there
is some value in it. Those of us
who have artist friends know how
glad they are of the exact details of
such a useful landscape accessory.
This type of cart is many generations
old ; but not far from where it was
taken there is an ancient smithy where
the younger generation were making
more modern carts with rubber-tyred
wheels of the lorry type. Even the
old farm cart is passing.
So, I fear, are many of the old
thatched cottages like that seen in
Fig. 3. " Slum ” dwellings are to be
abolished. In the
little village of which
I am speaking some
are being pulled
down, and replaced
by modern mansions
of which Fig. 4 shows
a fair sample. It is
a repulsive brick box,
with a slate lid, and
the happy owner can
stand at his front
door and put his
hand in the roof
gutter. There is the
' ' rustic ” fence,
though. Personally
I prefer the simple
old fence of Fig. 3.
I wanted the Fig. 3 subject for a
lantern slide to show the light on the
garden vegetation. Here I had to stop
down to f/i6, and used a four-times
filter, and once again I resorted to the
tripod and the useful one-second
exposure. Incidentally, I foolishly
used a lens hood, which, with the
small stop, cut off a good deal of the
subject ; so there will be no lantern
slide after all.
The brick monstrosity was given a
hand exposure, as I had no bomb with
me. I could also have taken Fig. 5
without the tripod, but here I used
it for another reason which is not so
well known as it deserves to be.
I wanted this subject brightly
lighted, but the sunshine was inter¬
mittent, and only broke through for
a moment or two at long intervals.
So I put the camera on the tripod,
focussed, adjusted the stop, and set
Fig- 5-
the shutter. Then I waited. As soon
as there was the expectancy of a gleam
of sun I took hold of the release and
stood by. This enabled me to fire the
shutter at just the right moment.
I have often adopted this course, and
have, thereby, secured subjects which
I should have lost if I had had to
raise and sight the camera. Moreover,
one’s whole attention can be given
to the subject, and not part of it to
the camera. In ever so many ways a
tripod is a boon. W. L. F. W.

point in my photographic career. I began to study the
varied effects of lighting from different angles.
“ After gaining some useful knowledge in this way I
decided next to study development. Space does not
permit of my going into full details, but I must state that
in negative-making I use 10 per cent pyro developer.
After much careful study and experiments, aided by hints
given me by an old friend and master in the graphic art,
I discovered that I was able to control development with
some degree of effectiveness. This is done by varying the
quantities of pyro, alkali and restrainer according to the
type of subject, lighting and exposure. It is generally
understood that the negative is only a means to an end ;
but I am afraid many of our photographers are apt to treat
negativ^e-making too lightly, and depend
largely on retouching and ‘ dodging.’
" Before I make an exposure I carefully
examine the shape, colour and texture of
the articles that are to form my still-life
group. This is arranged, and my camera
.set up. Having satisfied myself that the
viewpoint and focus are satisfactory, I
pay attention to the lighting. By the time
these preliminaries are completed I have
in mind the kind of positive I require. But
before I can get that positive a negative has
to be made which is capable of producing it.
‘‘ Having decided upon the type of
negative I make the exposure, and then
the latent image has to be developed out.
1 usually start off with a very slow-working
developer, then as the image appears I
accelerate or restrain the solution according
to the desired amount of contrast or
density required for the production of the
positive I have in mind.
“ With my class of work the negative
is all-important, and my one aim is to
make a good clean negative so that no
retouching is required. My negatives are
usually made on quarter-plates, from which
1 enlarge. The enlarging apparatus I use
for all my exhibition work is of the daylight
tj'pe, designed and constructed by myself.
“ I use only the best quality materials.
I am not a pictorialist, and the secret of
my success — and how I make my exhibiton
pictures — is technique, hard work, and a
determination to encounter and overcome
C. W. Clark. all set-backs and swim through at last.”
Just Crocks.
WHEN^I first took up photography some twenty-
fiv'e years ago I began with a quarter-plate
boxform camera. For several years I was
content to snapshot all kinds of subjects ; and this I did
with a fair amount of success. But as time went on this
sort of photography lost its appeal and interest, because I
began to realise that I was just a snapshotter, and had
no real object in view in my work.
” As I admired the works of some of the masters of
photography I became really dissatisfied with my snap¬
shotting, and wondered if it was possible for me to do
work like that of the real photographers. I decided to
make the attempt. I obtained a field camera, and .started
working on small subjects — still life. This was the turning-

PICTURES of the WEEK
Some Critical Comments
on the Beginners’ prints reproduced on
the opposite page.
The fine sky and able employment
of the single tree in No. 5 of
the prints on the opposite
page, . “ Lone Tree,” by C. Seldon,
illustrate what can be done with the
simplest of materials, given the right
time and the right effect. The tree is
very dainty in its grace ; it is set forth
by the somewhat stormy sky behind,
and the reproduction fails to record
all the delicacy of tonal gradation
which the original possesses to an
exceptional degree.
An Element of Grace.
The choice of the single tree, as
will be readily understood, is far
more likely to suggest the attribute of
grace than a greater number, and that
it does so is easily seen.
Its beauty of form is well revealed,
and, in conjunction with the hori¬
zontal lines of the clouds, creates a
suggestion of design that aids the
pictorial appeal. It is doubtful, how¬
ever, if the somewhat central position
in which the tree is placed is calculated
to display it to the best advantage.
In the sky, it will be observed that a
rather light note occurs in the top
right-hand corner, which, once no¬
ticed, seems to draw the attention in
a way that its placing certainly does
not warrant.
This feature, as well as the central
placing, could be corrected, quite as
much as is necessary, by the simple
expedient of trimming a quarter of
an inch from the right, when not only
does the tree seem to fall into its
proper place, but the whole thing
takes on a more finished and complete
appearance, and its full appeal becomes
manifest.
If, after the trim has been effected,
there still seems to be too much light
at the top corner, its tone could be
lowered by a little local extra printing,
and this will probably be found
advisable, for, with the corners slightly
subdued, the interest is more con¬
centrated in the part that matters.
Concentration of Appeal.
If the light at top left in No. 4,
■" Early Spring Morning,” by A. E.
Fielding, be disregarded, and it is
only minute, the gain in concentration
so afforded can readily be observed.
All the other corners are lower in
tone than the more central portions.
and, in consequence, the attention can
rest upon the group of trees on the
left which form the principal item.
The light at fault could be removed by
retouching on the print.
The same principle, but carried
to a much greater extreme, is re¬
sponsible for the way the figures stand
out in No. 6, ‘‘ Through the Archway,”
by Wm. S. Cowan. The dark frame
provided by the arch so concentrates
the attention on the light it encloses,
that everything within that light
area attains a significance that is
exceedingly high, and the figures,
aided again by the contrast of their
dark against the light, stand out with
a vivid and vital force.
Their position, perhaps, may be
somewhat too much inclined to the
right, and there is a suspicion of an
out-of-focus effect on the extreme
left, but both of these minor defi¬
ciencies could be remedied by trim¬
ming three-eighths of an inch from
that side.
The Virtue of Trimming.
If a sufficient margin be left all
round the subject proper, such as may
be obtained by selecting a viewpoint
well back, it gives us something over
and above what is actually wanted to
plav with.
Should, by any chance, we have
overestimated the amount that will
be included, the extra margin will
doubtless enable us to save the picture,
or it may be that the finder shows too
much, in which case the same effect
may be expected, but, if it actually
happens that we habitually include
more than we need, we have the
power of adjusting the arrangement
to suit our considered judgment in
after-treatment.
We might think, at the time of
exposure, that the best place for a
figure was towards the right-hand
side, but, after making a trial print,
find that, through something or other,
a position inclined towards the other
side would be better. If there be the
margin available, the alteration may
be made, but if not, and the defect
is serious, it may mean the losing of
the subject.
In the case of No. 2, ” The Old Tithe
Barn,” by Miss B. Wagstaff, just a
bit too much foreground has been
17
included. The amount is just that
much by which it is overlapped by
the print beneath, but, had only the
visible portion been included, it is
quite conceivable that, by some mis¬
chance or other, a defect might have
made an appearance and prevented
the inclusion of an adequate fore¬
ground.
That the appropriate treatment has
been adopted is evident from the fact
that neither in lights nor darks is
there any visible lack of gradation.
Development of the negative must
have been curtailed or the subject
printed on a softer grade of paper
than usual in order that those con¬
trasts might be properly rendered.
As the print stands, they are just
about correctly represented, and, tech-
nicall}'-, the work achieves a high
standard.
It also betrays an appreciation of
the value of an effect, and, though
the subject may not appeal to every¬
body, there is no denying that it has
been managed very well indeed.
No. 3, " Loch Lomond,” by J. A.
Stirling, is likewise of a high degree
of craftsmanship ; though, as the
contrasts are normal, special treatment
does not appear to have been called
for. There is a nice tone in the sky ;
distinction between it and the brighter
light of the steam issuing from the
funnel of the steamer and the dark
notes is by no means overdone.
The Darker Foreground.
A greater depth of tone in the
foreground would, perhaps, afford a
better feeling of stability, and some¬
thing might be done to improve
matters by sunning down the im¬
mediate foreground, but the need for
a darker foreground is more plainly
to be seen in No. i, " The River
Glideth,” by J. B. S. Carr, where the
great weight of the arch above makes
the print appear top-heavy.
However, to make any adjustment
in a case like this would invite a
suggestion of falsity, and it had
better be left alone. Whether or not
the subject would be anything at all
without the arch is questionable, but
it is possible that something might
be done a little farther along the bank
distance.

cluding the sun itself in a
picture does not often occur,
and, owing to certain peculiarities in
the way a lens sees a strong light, it
is rarer still that it is possible as an
element in a pictorial composition,
for it might either be rendered as an
indeterminate blob of light tone or
one with several circles surrounding
it, and, in other cases, a ghostly
image or streaks may make
an appearance.
The Source of Light.
In this instance, however,
much of the liabihty to draw¬
backs of such a character is
avoided by the fact that the
sun is partially veiled by
light clouds, and also that it
is only just above the horizon.
The veiling restricts the
intensity of the light, and,
having regard to the angle
in which it is seen, the depth
of atmosphere through which
its rays have to pass is much
greater than when it is higher
in the heavens, which, again,
imposes another limitation,
but in a lesser degree. For all
that, it remains the lightest
note in the picture, and, as
such, claims the major share
of the attention. For that
reason, it can be viewed as
the centre of interest (i).
The motive, however, seems
rather to be the feeUng of
luminosity, which arises more
from the light on the water
than from that minute spot
of light. The sun may be the
source of light, but the light
on the water comes more
from that reflected from the upper
portions of the sky than directly from
the sun itself, although something of
its direct influence can be traced.
That part of the sky is outside the
scope of the picture, and, as will be
observed, that which is included is
appreciably lower in tone.
With the brighter light on the
water, which is an inversion of the
usual state of affairs, the luminous im¬
pression is very powerfully suggested,
and the picture gets across in a way
that most presentments of sunset
studies seldom do.
Localisation of Effect.
Nevertheless, the sun plays its
part in the conveyance of the feeling
of luminosity in that, as the brightest
light, it localises the effect and pre¬
vents it from appearing too widely
dispersed.
It lends concentration to an effect
that arises from a comparatively large
area, and does as much as possible to
unify the arrangement of the com¬
position. It is, perhaps, somewhat
centrally placed, though not precisely
on the centre line, and because it is
somewhat to the left, the right-hand
side of the picture has a deeper tone
than it would were the sun more
inclined to that side.
As is usual in coastal scenes, all the
weight comes on the one side, and
the deepening of tone towards the
right does something, if not very
much, to counter the inevitable sug¬
gestion of a lack of balance. The tone
in the sky also seems to be deeper on
the right, and this again is a further
help, but the weight on the left
remains unbalanced. Nothing except
the presence of an accent on the
extreme right would be likely to-
correct the impression, and, as the
picture stands, it can only be assumed
that there was no possibility
of any such accent making
an appearance.
A small boat, a vessel, or a
rock, if placed in the lower
half of the right-hand side,,
about one inch from the edge,
would do very well; but, as-
often happens, there was none
there when it was wanted.
The presence of the rock
in the foreground (2), how¬
ever, does suggest a possibil¬
ity, though whether feasible
or not is impossible to say
in the absence of exact know¬
ledge of the locahty, for, if
by moving a good way to the
left, that rock could be placed
on the right-hand side, the
drawback would be overcome ..
The Difficulty Surmounted..
The line of sight would have
to be altered a little as well,
and that would mean that,,
while the far cliff (3) would'
retain its present placing,
the sun would be more over
to the left; but this would
tend towards a greater con¬
centration and therefore be
an advantage.
It might be necessary ta
include a bit more of the cliff
and to dodge about a little to adjust
the relative positions of sun, cliff and
rock ; but, if the alteration is at all
possible, it is likely to afford a better
arrangement than at present shown,
and the difficulty would be surmounted.
Nevertheless, and despite its de¬
ficiencies of arrangement, the work
shows a not inconsiderable degree of
promise, for it does, at any rate,
deal with such- a hackneyed subject
as a sunset in an unhackneyed way.

6 CINEMATOGRAPHER g
A PIOUS PILGRIMAGE
By our Special Representative at the Fox Talbot Centenary at Lacock Abbey, Saturday, June 23rd.
And our fathers that begat us.”
We wondered whether the shade
of old Fox Talbot was wander¬
ing about his ancestral halls at Lacock
Abbey when the devout made pilgrimage
there on Saturday week to commemorate
the centenary of photography. The
centenary, to be exact, of the production
of photographic impressions on paper.
It was in 1834 that Fox Talbot was
making experiments with his paper in a
camera obscura, but only succeeding
in obtaining a faint impression. The
outline of the roof and chimneys against
the sky, he said, was marked enough,
but the details of the architecture were
feeble — this after an exposure of several
hours — and the parts in shade were left
blank, or nearly so. But that was the
beginning of things, and when the
amateur presses his button let him
remember it.
Well, there must have been a couple
of hundred of us there. Who knows what
Fox Talbot would have said had he
seen his grounds invaded by a horde
of camera people who were photo¬
graphing one another as merrily as
cricketers bowling one another out — he
who a hundred years ago fringed those
same grounds with his battery of funny
cameras, which made his wife complain
that she could not go out of doors without
encountering his " mousetraps ” ?
Human after all.
In common with many other people,
we have had an impression that Henry
Fox Talbot, with all his cleverness, was
a dour and austere individual, but
Prebendary Clark-Maxwell, his grandson,
revealed him in a very different light.
Here is Talbot engaged in all manner,
of experiments, lifting the curtain of the
photographic era, while his little children
play battledore and shuttlecock in his
lofty hall. When the noise becomes
quite unendurable, no reproof arises from
his lips : he only gently shuts the door. ]
Here he is, an old man, setting geo¬
metrical problems for his grandson,
or delighting him with the effect of
salts sprinkled on a spirit lamp. And
surely it comes home to every one of us
when it is revealed that photography
began its history on a honeymoon.
That should make it appeal to romantic
young ladies for all time.
It began on a honeymoon in 1832, the
year of the Reform Act, when Talbot and
his bride were sojourning in Italy, and he
made attempts on the scenery of Lake
Como by means of pencil and tracing
paper with a camera obscura. Disgusted
with the result, he turned his attention to
the path which led to photographic
discovery. One wonders a little what
Mrs. Talbot had to say to it all.
A Many-sided Man.
It was not only in photographic
invention that Fox Talbot was dis¬
tinguished. He was interested in botany.
in astronomy, in numismatics, in Biblical
archaeology ; it was he who, deciphering
the hieroglyphics on some small glass
figures which were deposited in the
tombs of the Egyptian mummies, lighted
upon the name, to his astonishment,
of " Frederick William King of Prussia.”
In mathematics he began early. His
grandson told us, in the intimacy of
Fox Talbot’s own library, that it was
on record that at the age of four he
solemnly complained to his mother that
Betty, his nurse, was very disobedient.
" I asked her to revolve upon her axis,
and she will not.” It was not mathe¬
matical zeal which led him at the age
of eight to write home from school for
a cake and some beer — the cake would
do later on, but he wanted the beer at
once ! Let us add at once that he was a
most abstemious man, standing aloof at
Cambridge from all the dissipations of
his fellows and even from their usual
games. There is a certain implication in
a letter home, " T/iey have begun
cricket.” Why trouble about bat and
ball when far more interesting things,
like chemical solutions and the " pencil
of nature,” await one’s quest ?
The First Photograph.
Among the crowd of exhibits arranged
in the galleries of Lacock Abbey was
probably the oldest photograph in
existence. It was a small print hardly
larger than a postage stamp, dated, in
Fox Talbot’s own handwriting, 1835.
The photograph — -a negative impression
only — was of the window of the library,
the very place in which the centenary
meeting was held, showing the tracery
of the window and the diamond leaded
lights against the sky.
One interesting point is that when
some of these early photographs were
recently brought out of their treasure
boxes by Miss Talbot — the granddaughter
of the inventor, and the present lady
of the manor — they began to fade on
exposure to the sunlight. They had
borne a hundred years of darkness,
but they could not bear an hour of
brightness. However, they were re¬
developed in a bath of one of the present-
day developers, and it was possible to
revive what was practically blank paper
and bring back quite a visible image
again.
That exhibition at Lacock Abbey also
contained some of the earliest photo¬
micrographs. Some of Fox Talbot’s
first experiments were made with a
solar microscope, an instrument now
in the collection at South Kensington.
Nearly a hundred years ago he was
making photographs of wood sections
magnified seventeen times linear dimen¬
sions, and here they are still to be seen
by all and sundry.
Let us pay a tribute to those to whom
the success of the centenary is due,
especially Miss Talbot, Mr. A. J. Bull,
the President of the Royal Photographic
Society, and Mr. Herbert Lambert.

iHi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
a 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
h
etters to the Editor
The Editor is not responsible for
the opinions of his correspondents.
SOUTH LONDON CLUB.
Sir, — -Your note in a recent issue of " The A.P.” regarding
waiting lists of Camberwell Camera Club.
The John Ruskin Camera Club holds its meetings Tuesday
and Friday evenings in the same district at the Walworth
Men’s Institute, Beresford Street, Camberwell Gate, S.E.17,
and has facilities for as many new members as care to join,
the annual subscription being 6s. 3d., inclusive.
Please publish this for the benefit of homeless photographers in
South London. — Yours, etc., J. GIBBS, Hon. Secretary.
SKY FILTERS.
Sir, — Mr. F. C. Hunt’s letter in your issue of May 23rd
regarding sky-shade filters cannot go unchallenged. I feel
sure he can never have tried a sky-filter or he would not be so
dogmatic as to their uselessness.
Three years ago I bought a set of filters, including a graduated
sky-filter. I used the sky-filter in front of the lens of a reflex
camera and found the results were e.xcellent. With a reflex
camera one can see how far to push them down so as to just
shade the sky. They certainly do not act as a filter over the
whole of the plate, and do not slow-up e.xposures. Anyway,
this is my experience.
I have seen criticisms of sky-shade filters in your journal
before, and am aware that many professionals jeer at them, so
during my Easter holidays I abandoned their use and used an
ordinary “ one-and-a-half times ” filter — alas ! it might just
as well have been a piece of clear glass as far as its effect went
on “ Selochrome ” film — my skies are non-existent !
I am going back to the sky-shade filter, and if the results I
get do not agree with theory, so much the worse for theory.
A pound of practice is worth a ton of it. — Yours, etc.,
EVAN C. MACPHERSON.
Sir, — -As the actual maker in its most literal sense of gradu¬
ated light filters, I observe with interest the sudden bursts of
disapproval and disparagement that arise from time to time
in the photographic Press of these most useful filters.
I wonder if those critical folk ever place a graduated filter
on the lens of a camera fitted with a focnssing screen, and watch
the effect ? The tinting of the sky becomes apparent when the
filter is about half an inch from the lens, and in a good practical
mount it is almost impossible to get it nearer.
According to the reasoning of these critics it would be im¬
material if a plain filter were patchy or its colour uneven,
covered with pinholes or other defects, the result would be the
same as if taken through a perfect filter !
I hardly think a professional cinematographer camera¬
man could use a filter half deep red, steeply graduated so as to
leave half clear glass, and not observe the increase of exposure
and resulting over-correction of colour that would result, were
the theory of all-over tinting correct. — -Yours, etc., G. G.
MEDIUM FOR CLEANING DISHES, BOTTLES,
MEASURES, ETC.
Sir, — The simplest and best way is a mi.xture of common salt
with vinegar.
Pour a quantity of salt in the bottle or in the dish and add a
little vinegar. By shaking and rubbing, all chemical stains are
removed. The bottle or dish is then washed with clean water.
—Yours, etc., R, ROTHENBCJHLER.
Palais Federal, Berne (Switzerland.)
CAMERA PRICES.
Sir, — Studying the advertisements in a' recent number of
" The A.P.” it appeared to ms that not only photographic
materials but cameras were too highly priced. Relatively they
are much in excess of pre-war prices, although the cost of
production owing to improved methods of manufacture
should have dropped very considerably.
When I commenced photography upwards of forty-five
years ago most cameras, if not all, had to be made to a great
extent by hand. This skilled work took time and had to be
paid for accordingly. Now, on the contrary, even first-class
cameras are essentially pressed metal boxes which can be
turned out by the hundred thousand with little or no labour
cost. Indeed, once the dies are made, manufacturers of metal
bo.xes and die castings will turn them out at little above the
cost of the raw metal.
This seems to apply to all trades except the photographic.
Even in this trade cameras could be made to be given away
with cigarettes and newspapers.
In another line of business 1 remember that when a famous
safety razor was first issued the holders were sold for a guinea.
Many people paid this price. A few weeks ago anybody pur¬
chasing a tube of shaving soap was presented, gratis, with an
improved form of the erstwhile guinea safety razors.
I wonder if something like this will take place in photo¬
graphy, and if so we shall not then have so many super high-
priced cameras offered as “ once used ” in the second-hand
columns of your paper. Of course, if the manufacturers of
these articles, mostly foreign, can get the prices they will, but
not from me. — Yours, etc., ‘‘ NOMAD.”
EXPOSURE METERS.
Sir, — I have read with interest Mr. C. W. Martin’s letter in
a recent issue. On a discussion of the relative merits of
the different types of exposure meters I do not propose to
embark, but it appears to me, from his remarks about land¬
scape in the fifth paragraph of his letter, that Mr. Martin is
unfamiliar with the sensitive-paper type of meter. At any
rate he does not mention it.
If three separate plates are exposed — on the distant hills
and sky, the middle distance, and the foreground — for the
same time in each case, I am inclined to agree with Mr. Martin
that two of the resultant negatives would be useless. This
result, however, is avoided by following the makers’ instruc¬
tions to give half the calculated exposure for distant landscape,
and to give one and a half times or twice the calculated exposure
for foreground.
With the remainder of Mr. Martin’s letter I am inclined to
agree, but I would like to know why, in the paragraph referred
to, he is willing to bet that “ probably all three ” plates will
be useless as negatives. — Yours, etc.,
P. J. C. WESTALL.
SURGICAL SPIRIT.
Sir, — Surgical spirit mentioned in your issue for June 6th,
page 507, is no longer authorised by the Commissioners of
Customs and Excise.
As from March 15th the following only are allowed (No. i
would most certainly be very objectionable) : —
1 ' 2
Castor oil
Methyl salicylate
Diethyl phthalate
Mineral naphtha
Industrial methylated spirit to 100 ,, ,, 100 ,, ,,
—Yours, etc., E. HAROLD BUTLER.
WINDING FILM.
Sir, — -I must admit that the procedure advocated by Mr.
Edmonds in " The A.P.” for June 13th for ensuring that the
film in a miniature camera is tightly wound seems to me to be
rather risky, especially with fast panchromatic material.
I experienced similar trouble with an expensive miniature
camera, both with t’ne film not winding up tightly on the
take-up spool, and with its springing loose on the feed spool.
This seemed to be, due to insufficient friction at the latter
• point, and the remedy, which I have used with complete
success for two years, was to place a washer cut out of a tram
ticket at each end of the new spool when putting it into the
camera. The hole obligingly punched in the ticket by the
conductor will just push on to the spool ends !
Hoping this hint will be of use to others who have had this
trouble.— Yours, etc., JOHN MALTBY.

How to Use Photo-Electric Meters
When using meters of the photo-electric type, it is extremely important to avoid mishandling. Careful
and unvarying methods alone must prevail if the full efficiency of the apparatus is always to be enjoyed.
PHOTO-ELECTRIC exposure meters
now represent the last word in
mechanical accuracy. They give
correct readings under almost any and
every condition, and — assuming proper
development — the negatives produced
with their assistance are nearly always
of the finest possible quality. The
words in italics are meant to indicate
that the meters in question — although
very accurate — are not entirely magical ;
they are able to measure the intensity
or photo-active strength of the light,
but they cannot be expected to ap¬
preciate the limitations of plate and
film emulsions.
For this reason, a subject full of
neutral tones and only slight contrasts
frequently appears to photograph with
greater veracity than another in which
the contrasts are more strongly marked.
In the first case, the meter has been
able to give a reading that applies to
the whole of the subject ; in the other,
the tendency is for the shadows to come
in at the expense of the high-lights —
as in a mild instance of over-exposure.
This is not due to any fault in the
instrument itself. Rather is it because
in any subject of mixed lighting and
colours we cannot apply an exposure
which is accurate for them all. And
although the photo-electric meter gives
us an accurate mean reading, this is
always found to be more in error for the
higher illuminations than for the shad¬
ows — such is the nature of emulsion
" latitude.”
Remedies.
The simplest remedy for this annoying
and often unaccountable trouble is to
give an exposure slightly below that
indicated by the meter whenever great
contrasts appear in the original. An
exception should be made in the case
of amateur cinematography (reversal)
practice — where the actual reading
should generally be adhered to.
There is another and a more satis¬
factory remedy — which will appeal in
particular to the worker with leanings
towards pictorial photography. This
■consists of selecting from the subject
just those tones which it is desired to
have predominant in the picture. These
tones only should be taken as a basis
for the reading.
Similarly, where it is desired to soften
■or subdue certain parts of the picture,
the corresponding tones can be ignored
when taking the reading.
Special Precautions.
When using meters of the photo¬
electric type, it is extremely important
to avoid mishandling. Careful and
unvarying methods alone must prevail
if the full efficiency of the apparatus is
always to be enjoyed.
In the first instance, the photographer
should make sure that his camera is
working properly, i.e., giving the actual
exposure for which the controls are set.
Then he should develop the habit of
taking his readings from a point not
far removed from the lens of the camera —
and this is especially important when the
subject is a close-up.
With some models, there is a tendency
in poor lighting for the indicating needle
to remain immovable. If the meter
be equipped with an “ amplifier,” this
can be brought into operation and the
necessary reading secured ; but in no
case should the photographer approach
closely to a lighter portion of the
subject without also deciding to operate
his camera from the new viewpoint.
Shaking or knocking the exposure
meter will not cause the needle to
measure an exposure where insufficient
light exists. For this reason, harsh
treatment cannot possibly do any
good and may easily result in harming
the apparatus.
Special precautions must also be taken
to hold the meter perfectly level when
taking any reading. It is quite fatal to
measure only the bright light from above
a wall or bank of trees when it is desired
to include no sky whatever in the actual
picture. Similarly, readings for “ against
the light ” exposures should not be
taken without first fitting the meter
wth an efficient light-shade.
Usually, the latest models of any
apparatus are improvements upon earlier
types. This is especially the case with
photo-electric meters — though it cannot
be said that there is any great difference
between recent models priced round
about the same figure.

July 4th, 1934
Finding a
IT is at this time of year that most
amateur cine societies start to get
really busy and the question of a
suitable studio crops up. The larger
and more fortunate clubs will, of
course, adopt the plan of having a
permanent studio, but others will have
to content themselves with the oc¬
casional hire of a hall or large workshop
for shooting their larger sets. In any
case, a central position should be
chosen to facilitate members getting
to and from meetings easily. In most
large towns, after a little hunting, it is
usually possible to find such a building.
Studio Construction.
For those who wish to establish a
permanent studio there are several
points to be carefully considered before
finally deciding upon the suitability of
the premises. The ideal plan is to
build ; but, of course, in most cases
this would become far too expensive.
The actual size of the stage naturally
depends upon circumstances, but quite
big scenes can be built in a studio,
say, 20 x15 ft. Most professional film
studios are square in shape, although
this is not of vital importance ; the
long narrow type of room should,
however, be avoided, the triangular
shape being much more suited. The
fault with many amateur studios is
that they are far too low. A good
limit of headroom is of great impor¬
tance to provide for long shots and
top-lighting, which plays a big part in
good photography. A ground floor
building is far the best, as it makes the
getting in and out of scenery easier ; if
big doors are available the view will
often serve as a natural backing for
windows, etc. Needless to say, a good
solid wooden floor is necessary for
bracing flats, while it should also be
tested for level as this may interfere
with tracking shots.
In the case of the amateur the stage
will also be used, no doubt, for set
building, projection and many other
purposes ; but when actual shooting
is in progress it is advisable to keep
all unnecessary stuff out of the way
to give plenty of working space ;
exits must always be left clear.
Electricity will be required for lighting,
and fortunately quite a large number
of the modern incandescent lamps can
be run off an ordinary main. But
unless there is an expert amongst the
members of the society it is as well
to call in the electrical company to
test the wires and advise them on the
amount of power wanted. All wiring
should be carefully done, and if a
large load is to be used it is as well to
fix up a switch-board. Running water
is also essential for removing make-up,
mixing developers, and many other
things. Central heating is, of course,
ideal for studio use, but if gas or coal
fires are the order of the day a wire
guard should always be placed in front
to avoid any possibility of accidents.
When a studio is built to design the
stage is surrounded by offices, dressing-
rooms, scene docks, camera store,
and cutting rooms, but it will be a
very fortunate amateur who finds such
Filming
a place with a rent to suit his pocket.
If there is no other space available
a small part should be partitioned off
where artists can change and rehearse.
The smaller the studio the more
important tidiness becomes ; there
should be cupboards for keeping
cameras and other apparatus, other¬
wise expensive equipment will soon
get damaged and lost. Never use a
damp building ; not only is it bad for
the health but ruins all materials.
Sound Studios.
So far I have only dealt with studios
intended for the making of silent films,
but for those who wish to take up
" talkies,” there are many other
points which must be given considera¬
tion. A building on a main road is
totally unsuited, as heavy traffic will
cause vibration as well as unwanted
noises. Size, shape and the material
used in the building construction all
have a bearing on the acoustical pro¬
perties. Echo must be cut out ; this
is done by “ damping ” the walls,
doors and windows with thick felt,
while a few felt blankets should always
be kept handy for local ‘‘ damping.”
Light-cables should be fitted as far
away as possible, also those connected
with the sound, otherwise a ” hum ”
may be set up. Cameras, unless
specially made for talkie work, will
have to be blimped : this may be done
by placing them in a light wooden
box, to fit on the top of the tripod,
lined with Sorbo rubber.

Suitable Studio for
A Summer School of Cinematography M. A. LOVELL-BURGESS.
IT has fallen to the lot of the Inde¬
pendent Film Makers’ Association
to stage a Summer School of
Cinematography. The date of this
Summer School is definitely fixed for
the first week-end in August, and it is
to be held at Welwyn. People of
consequence in the professional cinema
world will be among the speakers, and it
is earnestly hoped that cine amateurs will
rise superior to their traditional apathy
and rally in support. Full particulars can
be obtained from the Hon. Secretary, Mr.
G. A. Shaw, 32, Shaftesbury Avenue, W. I.
It was in my book, ‘‘ The Amateur
Cine Movement ” (Sampson Low), that
I wrote eighteen months ago : "I have
hopes of eventually organising a Summer
School in connection with the movement,
where lectures on acting, pictorial
composition, make-up, directing, editing,
lighting, etc., would be given by pioneers
and leaders, and where all types of
amateurs, with varying experience and
ambitions, could get together and
exchange ideas, to their mutual benefit
and to the ultimate enrichment of the
movement as a whole.”
Cine amateurs throughout the country
will feel grateful to the Independent
Film Makers’ Association for their lead
in this matter. And the I.F.M.A. will
appreciate their gratitude if it means
co-operation.
What Sort of Summer School ?
It is vital at this juncture to think for
a moment of what sort of Summer School
is needed.
Right from the start we must steer
clear of the Conference-Convention com¬
plex that finds its sole expression in
mild rhetoric.
We need to overcome those minor
jealousies, resulting in cliques and
factions, that seem to beset every
amateur movement. And we shall only
do that by dealing progressively at this
Summer School with topical problems.
What problems ?
In rhy ideal Summer School subjects
for lectures would include editing, special
camera angles, lighting — always a fas¬
cinating subject ! — tempo — not yet fully
understood by the most intellectual,
scenario writing, with emphasis on the
value of common subjects and common
elements with all their powerful as¬
sociations, and, finally, the future of
the sub-standard film in the industrial,
commercial, educational and religious
life of our country. The lectures would
be followed by group discussions on the
opportunities that such aspects of
sub-standard work present to the or¬
dinary cine amateur, and on the true
function of the amateur cine club as a
link between the public and the pro¬
fessional cinema.
It would be interesting to collect a
few definitions of cinematography itself,
and to trace the existing relationships
between it and the older arts of -writing,
painting, sculpture, etc.
Technicians would be invited to de¬
scribe their experiences, adaptations and
inventions with regard to lighting,
make-up and apparatus, with practical
equipment demonstrations, and I would
have classes for editing, acting, scene
construction, scenario -writing and cam¬
era technique.
That’s my idea of a Summer School.
What’s yours ?

1\[EWS AND REVIEWS
X 1 ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
The Royal Photographic Society again
announces the Pirie MacDonald Award
for Portraiture. The award is of twenty
guineas for the best portrait of a man.
Each competitor may send two prints,
which can also be entered at the Annual
Exhibition. Prints from this country
must be delivered at the Society’s House,
35, Russell Square, not later than August
loth ; those from abroad not later
than July 27th, to allow of clearance
through the Customs. Entry forms on
application to above address.
The Diamond Jubilee of Messrs.
Sands Hunter & Co., Ltd., of 37, Bedford
Street, Strand, W.C.2, is now being
celebrated. This famous firm was
established in 1874 in Cranbourn Street,
the premises being vacated for the
Leicester Square station of the Piccadilly
Railway. At their present address in
Bedford Street the amateur photographer
will find everything he requires in the
way of apparatus, materials and acces¬
sories, and an extensive second-hand
department. It is notable that the
advertisements of this firm appeared in
the first issues of “ The A.P.” in 1884.
The reputation they had secured then
for fair dealing and business-like methods
has continued for half a century. In
connection with their Diamond Jubilee
they are issuing a Special Sale Catalogue
that every reader of “ The A.P.” should
secure. It will be sent free on request
to the above address.
An Exhibition of Baby Photographs
was opened at the Ilford Galleries, loi.
High Holborn, W.C.i, on Friday last
by the Rt. Hon. the Lord Mayor of
London (Sir Charles Collett), supported
by members of the National Baby Week
Council. The exhibition, which includes
some outstanding examples of pictorial
renderings of this difficult subject,
remains open during the month. Ad¬
mission is free.
A Camera Club has been formed at
The Walker Technical College, Oaken-
gates, and is to be known as " The
Shropshire Camera Club.” The meetings
for the first session will commence in
September and will be held on the last
Friday evening of each month. The
Hon. Secretary is P. W. Lowe, of 7,
Trench Rd., Nr. Wellington, Shropshire.
Extra facilities have been arranged
for the British Photographic Fellowship
Austro-German tour in September, and
there are just a few places left for
immediate enquirers. The holiday, which
is of fifteen days’ duration, begins
London on September 2nd, and embraces
the most beautiful parts of the Vosges
Mountains, the Black Forest and the
Austrian Tyrol. The inclusive cost,
which covers luxury coach travel
throughout, hotels and all excursions,
is ;^i6 13s. Enquiries should be addressed
to Mr. S. W. Kenyon, 7, Aberdeen
Mansions, Kenton Street, London, W.C.i,
who is the B.P.F. President, and who is
personally attending to every detail of
the tour. The mid- July German tour,
and for which all places have been
booked, is on a much smaller scale than
the September trip, and the party will
consist mostly of cine workers. They
will fly to Frankfurt, from whence they
will travel by three specially commis¬
sioned Ford V-8 saloons. This is the
first time on record that a photographic
society has used an aeroplane for general
travel purposes.
At the June meeting of the Council of
the Royal Photographic Society the
Fellowship was conferred upon James
M'Kissack of Glasgow in recognition of
his contributions to pictorial photography
over a period of many years. At the
same meeting, S. J. Beckett, of Bourne¬
mouth, was readmitted to the Fellow¬
ship of the Society.
To increase the rapidity of film
changing by Leica enthusiasts a quick
winding contrivance for that popular
little camera has been put on the market.
It is not made by Leitz but is obtain¬
able from them. The arrangement is
fitted on to the axis of the present
winding-knob after the removal of this,
ahd is essentially of a similar construc¬
tion to a spring tape measure, with a
ring at the end which slips over the finger.
In use, a little steel cable is pulled out,
which winds the shutter and simul¬
taneously changes the film. The steel
cable slips back and can be pulled out
again immediately after the shutter
has been released. With this gadget,
the Press photographer can take at least
two exposures in one second, in fact,
he can use up the entire 36-exposure film
in 18 seconds or less, and, should the
occasion demand it, make almost a
cine record of any event. The price of
the attachment, including fitting, is 30s.
The Southport Photographic Society
has a new hon. secretary. Dr. J. H.
Moorhouse, 23, Queens Rd., Southport,
who informs us that the society is in
a flourishing condition, having over a
hundred members. In the last three
years they have won the Tansley Shield
(L. & C.P. Union) twice, and have held
very successful exhibitions in the Art
Gallery. About twenty-four meetings
are held in the winter session, Mondays,
8 p.m. : new members will be welcomed,
particularly beginners. Further par¬
ticulars on application to above address.
We regret to have to record the death
of H. A. Crawford, a former president
of the Leeds Photographic Society and
a well-known pictorial worker and
exhibitor. Mr. Crawford was a solicitor, a
connoisseur in art matters, and a member
of the Leeds Art Gallery Sub-Committee.

^Deader.i Questions
ANSWERED
Genpral. — All communicafions for the Editor should be addressed : " The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception must
ri\e the name and address of the writer.
Contributions.— The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticisn) and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See " General " above, (g) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made iii any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if anv), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ' How can I take interiors ? " or '' Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? " are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked " Query ’’ or " Criticism ”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that bv so doin» per
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give. precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should he cut from the latest issue
to reach ih- enquirer.
Stained Prints.
I send some prints, showing stains. Can you
explain the cause, and why some of the prints
in the same batch were stained and not others ?
W. S. R. (Accrington.)
The most likely cause of the stains
on your prints is insufficient rinsing
between developing and fixing. This
would account for their appearing on
some prints and not on others, as some
of the prints might have been just
sufficiently rinsed to avoid the stains.
Type of Camera.
It is a drawback to have to use a whole roll of
film before developing. Is there a camera
which admits of ground-glass focussing, and
instead of an eight-exposure roll of film has a
separate piece which can he removed one hy one ?
C. H. S. (Ilford.)
In the very nature of things you cannot
deal separately with the different sec¬
tions of a roll film. There are many
cameras made, however, which will take
plates in single or double slides, or
alternatively, a film pack. In the
latter case, however, although it can be
done, it is not altogether desirable to
remove exposed films from the pack
until they have all been used. On the
whole, we can see no satisfactory
method but the use of plates to secure
the conveniences you desire, although
you can use cut films instead of plates
in^the slides.
Uneven Illumination.
My vertical enlarger is fitted with a single lamp
and a diffuser. I can enlarge from sj-in. square
negatives, but when I use 4^x2! negatives there
is under-exposure at the edges. How can I get
over this ? E. L. (London.)
The smaller the negative the easier it
is to illuminate it evenly with a single
lamp and a diffuser. When you come to
a larger negative, however, you will
meet with the trouble which you have
now encountered, and there is no really
satisfactory way of overcoming it,
except by using a condenser.
Glossy Prints.
How can I dry enlargements so that they are
flat and glossy' enough for reproduction ? I have
used glossy paper, but the prints have a moderate
gloss when dry, and are cockled.
L. A. W. (Eastbourne.)
Judging from your letter, you are
unfamiliar with the very well-known
method of glazing prints by squeegeeing
them down while wet on to glass, ferro¬
type, or other suitable material for the
purpose. This method will give you a
flat print with a highly glossy surface.
Uneven Print.
What is the cause of the cloudy markings on the
enclosed bromide print ? The cloudy patches
develop slowly, and while waiting for them to
disappear the rest seems to get over-developed.
R. H. J. (CuUompton.)
The patchy appearance of your print
is due to uneven development. You
must get the whole surface covered with
developer at once, and keep the solution
moving by rocking the dish in both
directions. A properly exposed bromide
print should take about two minutes to
develop fully, and you should have no
trouble in getting the action even over
the whole surface.
Buying Emulsion.
I have asked a well-known firm to sell me a
small quantity of their emulsion, but they say it is
a secret material. Can you give me a formula for
making emulsion, or tel! me where I can buy a
small quantity ready-made ? B. V. Y. (Southgate.)
You cannot buy emulsion for coating
films and plates. The preparation of
such sensitive material is a highly skilled
and technical matter. It may give you
some idea of what is involved if we tell
you that the standard book on photo¬
graphic emulsions is a large volume
costing 25s. net. Enthusiastic amateurs
have certainly prepared their own
emulsions, and coated plates, but there
is no advantage in so doing either as
regards quality or cost.
Repairing Bellows.
The leather covering is peeUng off from the bellows
of my camera. What can 1 do to re-cover them ?
C. W. (CUtheroe.)
The re-covering of bellows is not a
task that can be undertaken satisfactorily
by the inexperienced. We should ad¬
vise you to have the work done by a
professional repairer, who would, how¬
ever, probably recommend the fitting
of new bellows as more satisfactory,
and probably less expensive.
Testing Shutter Speeds.
How can I check the exposure time of a shutter ?
If I set the shutter to i/50th of a second, how can
I prove that it is open for that time ?
E. H. M. (Stourbridge.)
Several methods have been suggested
in The Amateur Photographer from
time to time for testing shutter speeds.
The simplest is by photographing a
revolving disc, such as a gramophone
turntable placed vertically, or the
revolving wheel of an inverted bicycle.
If a small patch of white paper or a
bright silver bead is attached to the edge
of the revolving disc or wheel, and the
revolutions of the wheel are ascertained
at one or two or more per second, it is
quite easy by photographing it in a
bright light to calculate any shutter
exposure by noting in the negative how
far the white spot has moved during
the exposure. It resolves itself into
an ordinary proportion sum. Most of
the shutter testing methods are based
on a similar plan.
Focal Length and Stops.
If I alter the focus of a lens by means of a supple¬
mentary lens will this alter the time of exposure ?
O. U. (Arendal.)
When you alter the focus of your lens
you alter the value of the stops, and
necessarily this affects the time of
exposure. The value of the stop alters
in proportion to the alteration of focus,
so that once you know the original and
new focal lengths, you can work out
by simple proportion the value of the
original and new f/ numbers.
Secret Medium.
A friend has shown me how to colour bromide
prints with pencils, but he has a secret medium
for making the colours run afterwards. Can you
enlighten me as to this medium ?
L. C. (Camberley.)
We cannot venture to pass any opinion
upon the medium described. There are
certain coloured pencils with which the
medium used for making the colours
run is plain water. Perhaps this is your
friend’s- " secret,” as you say he may
be merely ” pulling your leg.”
Fixing in Tank.
Some makers of tanks do not approve of using
them for fixing as well as developing. As I use
a hypo eliminator, would it be safe to conduct
the entire operation in the tank ?
H. H. N. (Fenham.)
Provided stringent precautions are
taken as to cleanliness there is no
definite reason why you should not
fix in the developing tank. The reason
it is discouraged is that so few people
realise the necessity for avoiding any
hypo contamination during future de¬
velopment, and their cleansing of the tank
is too perfunctory.

Special Note
Readers who reply to advertisements and receive no answer to their enquiries are re¬

which period, if buyer decides not to retain goods, they must be returned to sender. If
a sale is efieeted, buyer instructs us to remit amount to seller, but if not, seller instructs
us to return amount to depositor. Carriage is paid by the buyer, but in the event of no
sale, and subject to there being no different arrangement between buyer and seller, each
pays carriage one way. The seller takes the risk of loss or damage in transit, for which we
take no responsibility. For all transactions up to £10 a deposit fee of 1/- is charged ;
on transactions over £10 and under £60 the fee is 2/6 ; over £50 and under £75, 5/- ;

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
hU practice is to communicate with private adver¬
tisers having goods for sale, offering to take such
goods in exchange lor others, or to purchase for
cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such offers
from this quarter.

Optochrom Green Glass Filters are recom¬

being only four times the exposure without
a filter. Optochrom Yellow Glass Filters are
supplied in four different densities ; No. 0
Extra Light, No. 1 Light, No. 2 Medium,
No. 3 Deep. The deeper the tint of the glass
the longer the exposure must be. For a land¬
scape view, therefore, the Extra Light or
perhaps the Light Alter should be used ; for
dark-coloured objects the Medium or Deep
filter should be used.

Just study this picture — the admirable composition — the sharpness of focus — the wealth of
detail — and think for a moment what 3 fraction of a second the fox cub was in that “just

a successful picture. ASK YOUR DEALER to demonstrate the unique and superb qualities
of the Rolleiflex.

Next week’s issue of The
Amateur Photographer — pub¬
lished on Wednesday, July
i8th, will be the Summer Number.
As in past years, this special number
will be considerably enlarged. In
addition to extra pages of articles
and illustrations dealing with the
popular aspects of summer and holi¬
day photography for every class of
amateur photographer, additional
art pages will be included, and there
will be an attractive “ all-over ”
three-colour cover. Since on previous
occasions the special numbers have
“ sold out ” on publication, our
readers both new and old are urged
to place an order at once for next
week’s issue, or they may be dis¬
appointed by not obtaining a copy.
The Summer Number will be pub¬
lished at the usual price of three¬
pence.
Sweet are the Uses.
It says much for the enterprise
of a photographic dealer that the
first use in commercial advertise¬
ment of the new slogan “Use less
water ’’ should have a photographic
application. Many concerns — such
as, obviously, the brewers — might
have made out of it a cleverly turned
“ ad.,’’ but it is a photographic
dealer who gets in first. “ Use less
water,’’ says his advertisement, “ let
us develop your films.’’ Very good,
if a little far-fetched. Incidentally,
we have always had occasion to
admire the resource of the advertise¬
ment draughtsman so far as photo¬
graphy is concerned. No one has
done more to popularise the Camera
than some anonymous persons with
the pen and pencil.

resorts, and a new body caUed'^the
British Health Resorts Association
has been doing commendable work
by holding conferences at various
watering-places at which attention
is drawn to their respective merits.
A correspondent who attended one
such conference last week at Cromer
brought back, however, a somewhat
confused impression, and as photo¬
graphers are among the people most
interested in meteorological phe¬
nomena, perhaps their acute minds
can sort it out. It is a case of
rivalry between our different coasts.
On figures the south coast is sunnier
than the east, but it was suggested
at Cromer that the superiority of
the south in this respect anyhow is
trifling, and is probably to be
attributed to an error in the taking
of the sunshine records. On the
other hand, the east coast beats the
west, and there the advantage is
indisputable, and not to be explained
away by wrong arithmetic. Similarly
with the wind. A very subtle
argument was propounded by a
meteorologist in favour of the east
coast. It is all a myth, it appears,
this association of east coast and
east wind. In fact, the east wind is
often much less malevolent when it
first touches our eastern shores than
when it gives a parting sting to our
western, especially if there be snow
over the intervening country, making
the wind more vicious as it travels
west. But it is the west wind which
is the prevailing wind in this
country, and violent as it is when
it reaches the west coast, its friction
is lessened, its temper softened by
the time it gets across to the east,
so that in Norfolk and Lincolnshire
it is a balmy breeze. Happy Cromer,
which has it both ways ! One thing
we ourselves did notice journeying
to East Anglia, that although the
25

prevailing wind there as elsewhere
is westerly, the trees have a per¬
manent inclination away from the
coast.
Bless the Weather.
That recent -conference at Cromer
(our correspondent continues) was
attended mostly by doctors who
had much to say about the advan¬
tages of the east coast for almost
every complaint. But, after all, the
seaside resorts do not want to be
crowded out with invalids, and even
in Cromer, as ever5Avhere else, the
death-rate is one per person. It
was a reUef after a succession of
speeches showing the east coast to be
good for everything, from tennis
elbow to housemaid’s knee, to hear
someone get up and acclaim it for
another reason — for its changing
light, the richness and beauty of its
clouds. The weather we grumble at
is really the sculptor who has
fashioned us into what we are. The
climate on the shores of the North
Sea is said to be the best in the world
for human activity. As Walter
Savage Landor said, we are what the
sun, the wind and the waters make
us. By the way, the slogan of
Cromer, or rather of that arc of
coast which has Cromer in its
centre, is that there the sun rises and
sets in the sea. Can that be said
of any other place in England ?
Three at Once.
We were in a group the other day
which was photographed by a pro¬
fessional who had three cameras in
action. What is more, he exposed
them all simultaneously, and with
one hand, using the other hand to
compel attention. The cameras were
side by side, and he simply gathered
the three bulbs into one hand and
pressed them. No wonder when the
eventual prints were handed round
that the look on the faces of the
group was similar to the ex¬
pression with which one watches a
conjuror.
Back to the Primitive.
We listened the other day to the
presidential address from the chair
of the Institute of Patent Agents.
It was a great eulogy of the inventor,
especially the inventor of the last
thirty years, and not least in the
photographic field, where the cine¬
matograph has created a great new
industry. The speaker mentioned
the great work that had been done
in connection with the telegraph and
the telephone, with the hundred
applications of electricity, with road
and air transport, with radio here
and television on the way. He
made our fathers appear to have
been living almost in a state of
primeval savagery. And then he
ended up by confessing that his
address had been written in a
country cottage by the light of an
oil lamp, a cottage which knew not
gas, nor electricity, nor tap water,
nor wireless, and in a village without
a cinema, and away from the routes
of the motor-bus.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Achromatic Lenses.
Can yon give me an idea in non-technical language of the
particular defect that imist he removed to make a lens “ achro¬
matic ” so that it can be used for photographic purposes ? Why
cannot lenses without this correction he used in photography ?
C. L. S. (Leamington.)
It is well known that when a beam of white light passes
through a glass prism the constituent colour rays are refracted,
i.e., bent out of their course, to different degrees. Hence the
familiar phenomenon of the spectrum. A single lens of one
kind of glass only, such as that suggested in the diagram,
acts in a similar manner.
It must be understood that the diagram is much exaggerated
in scale, and that to simplify matters it deals only with two
groups of colour rays — the violet and the yellow. The violet
rays being most refracted come to a focus at the plane marked
A A ; beyond that they disperse. The yellow rays come to a
focus at the plane B B. If this plane were a sheet of ground
glass, and only the two colours named were present, we should
see on the screen a sharp yellow dot surrounded by a ring
of violet.
The eye is very sensitive to the yellow rays, and it is these
which would most guide us in getting a sharply focussed image
on the ground glass ; but a photographic plate is mo.st sensitive
to the violet rays. The two planes, A A and B B, represent
what are called the chemical and the visual focus respectively.
Different kinds of glass have different refractive indexes ;
that is, they do not behave alike in the extent to which they
bend rays of different colours. It is therefore possible to
combine lenses in such a manner that all rays are brought to
a focus on the same plane. The extent to which this is ac¬
complished varies, but a len.s in which the correction was
perfect and complete would be truly achromatic, or entirely
free from chromatic aberration. This ideal can be attained
only with difficulty, but is most necessary in lenses to be used,
for example, in three-colour process work.
When some compromise is necessary it is arranged that the
focal plane shall be adjusted for the violet rays, as the yellow
and red rays play a much less active part, in the ordinary way,
in forming the photographic image.
It is hardly correct to say that lenses with a certain amount
of chromatic aberration cannot be used at all for photographic
purposes. Such lenses are still frequently used, for example in
cheap fixed-focus cameras and enlargers. But the focal plane
has been adjusted to the chemical and not the visual focus.
Some years ago a popular casket set consisted entirely of
" uncorrected,” or " spectacle ” lenses. In such cases visual
focussing is done with the aid of a supplementary correcting
lens, or a suitable filter, this being removed before making the
exposure.
The introduction of new forms of glass for optical purposes
has greatly facilitated the elimination of chromatic and other
aberrations in lenses intended for photographic purposes.

Th( A11ATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER

hal is a GOOD
ssrsi PHOTOGRAPH ?
upon which a
good photograph excels one of indifferent quality are dealt with, as well as the
methods by which proficiency in production is acquired.
More cameras are in use to¬
day than at any period in
the history of photography,
and more photographs are pro¬
duced. But in spite of marvel¬
lously efficient apparatus and
materials of perfect quality there
are, unfortunately, thousands of
amateurs who are content with
indifferent results.
This may be due in a majority of
cases to the fact that the amateur has
not mastered the rudiments of photo¬
graphy ; he is apt to rely on what
the D. and P. establishments give
him as the best that can be secured
from his exposures. We can only
emphasise what has already been
put forward in these pages, that the
right way to obtain the best results
from every exposure is to learn
how to develop and print one’s own
negatives and make the most of
every photograph that is taken.
Knowing How.
Many camei'a-users are now having
the advantages of doing their own
work throughout pointed out to
them by dealers who are realising
that by depriving th6ir customers
of a knowledge of photography
(by D. and P. methods) they are
eventually depriving themselves of
customers.
It may assist many readers,
therefore, to indicate some of the
points that arise in making a good
photograph, apart from the technical
side of development, which has
already been dealt with in these
pages on several occasions recently
and will be dealt with again.
The worker who wisely decides
that in future he will undertake his
own developing and printing will
find that, as his control of these
processes increases, the knowledge
he acquires will inevitably create
an appreciation of the niceties of
correct exposure, focussing, and
other matters — all of which go to
the making of good photographs.
Good Negatives.
The good negative is one in which
detail is suggested by a deposit of
silver in the deepest of shadows,
while the highest lights are not too
opaque for the printing process to
register. The degree of density
will vary according to the needs of
the printing process employed, but
the basis of a perfect negative is full
exposure and correct development.
All modern plates and films have
a good margin of latitude in expo¬
sure. This is a very valuable
quality, and it should be employed
to retain the full contrast scale of a
difficult subiect. Latitude does not,
however, allow of a good negative
resulting from gross under-exposure,
but it does mean that when a sub¬
ject is such that some local over¬
exposure is imperative, the lights
will not be sacrificed.
Latitude such as this is a very
important consideration in the case
of negatives, made with small cam¬
eras, which are to be enlarged to
many times the original size.
Pictorial and Technical.
The photograph will be judged
from the point of view for which it
is made. If it is a pictorial photo¬
graph the standards with regard to
the definition will vary. In the case
of a landscape subject, selective
focussing, by which one part of the
subject is emphasised and therefore
stands out from the surroundings,
makes it distinct from the subordin¬
ate detail.
On the other hand, if the photo¬
graph is required for Press work,
and for the purposes of record,
critical definition over the whole
subject is required. These subjects
are often rendered much harsher
with regard to contrast. Thus it
will be seen that what may be a
merit in one case may suggest
bad craftsmanship in another. The
secret of success lies in the way in
which the photographer understands
and controls his medium in order to
secure the result desired.
Quite apart from these things,
however, there is much to be gained
from investigating other factors that
assist in making a good photograph.
Materials.
Perhaps the most appreciable of
these factors is that which concerns
the choice of materials. There are
suitable materials for practically
every branch of photography, and
good pictures can seldom be secured
unless these are used. It would be
impossible, for example — or extremely
difficult — to secure a good negative
of a cloud-capped landscape on a
slow “ process ” plate ; it would
be impossible, too, to avoid losing
several of the tones which charac¬
terise a finely-scaled panchromatic
negative when printing is being done
upon a hard grade of gaslight paper.
The fact that a picture is successful
automatically implies no little degree
of technical excellence, and this
must be regarded as proof that suit¬
able materials and a knowledge of
how to use them are common to all
such pictures. But it is possible
to obtain different grades (i.e.,
qualities) of even suitable materials ;
and then it is possible to lower the
standard of results by the application
of careless or haphazard treatment.
With regard to the first of these
possibilities, it may well be empha¬
sised that the safest plan is always
to purchase the best one can afford.
This is not to infer that the best is
of necessity the most expensive —
but it does mean that stale materials
and the manufacturers’ “ seconds ”
are not sufficiently reliable to employ
in good photography.
Thus it may be held that careful
technique is another important fac¬
tor in good photography. And by
careful technique we must under¬
stand precise technique — technique
based upon personal observation
rather than upon rule-of-thumb com¬
mercial mass-production methods.

6 CIHEMATOQRAPHER o
y4g^inst-the-Light
Photografyhy
By PETER W. HILL.
The fact that the recent Kodak “ World Com¬
petition” was won by a photograph taken against
the light illustrates what an attraction such
pictures have. In a blase world they stiU have the
value of novelty, and it is astonishing how striking a
commonplace subject may become when photographed
against the light.
With sunlight behind the subject, and with the selec¬
tion of the correct viewpoint, many irritating little
details will become obscured, while the prominence of
the main item in the picture will be strengthened.
For a photograph oL this type to be effective three
points must be remembered. The first is to double the
exposure ; the second is to shade the lens from the direct
rays of the sun ; the third is to use backed plates or one
of the modern anti-halation films, to prevent any ex¬
aggerated halo effect appearing round the high-lights of
the photograph.
Of these three points the second is by far the most
important, for if any direct rays from the sun shine into
the lens it will cause a
veil of fog to appear on
the negative, which will
take all brightness and
crispness from the picture.
A hood specially made
for the purpose is the
best means of shading the

lens, and every keen camera
user is advised to include
one in his equipment. They
are obtainable from most
dealers, in a variety of pat¬
terns, and to fit all types and
sizes of lenses. The lens-hood
should be as deep as possible,
but not so deep that it cuts
off any of the picture.
If a lens-hood is not avail¬
able when wanted there are
many possible makeshifts.
For example, the photograph
can be taken in the shade of
a doorway, a tree, or the
interior of a car (with the
windows down) ; or the lens can be shaded with a piece of dark card, a
hat, or the dark slide of a plate-holder — anything as long as it will not
reflect light into the lens, but keeps the front of the camera shaded. When
photographing direct into the sun — as in the case of a sunset — the lens-
hood is of course inoperative.
As regards development, it is advisable to shorten the time by about
one-fifth of the normal, since most against-the-light subjects have strong
contrasts, the high-lights of which are liable to become blocked up if develop¬
ment is continued too long. Of course, when developing roll film containing
several different types of subjects it is best to develop for the no;rmal time
and rely on the different grades of printing papers to suit negatives of
different contrasts.
Try some pictures of this type. You are sure to be pleased with them.
A le7LS-hood is necessary for this kind of against-
the-light snapshot.

PLEASE MENTION “ THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER ” WHEN CORRESPONDING WITH ADVERTISERS.
July iith, 1934
Successful roii-fiim negatives of
high technical excellence owe this
quality to the general efficiency
•of the photographic equipment employed
when making the exposures, and to
-careful treatment in the subsequent
operations.
Efficiency of equipment, however, can
be enjoyed only when the material and
^ipparatus concerned are properly handled
and cared for — so that most of the
troubles occasionally experienced may
be regarded as quite avoidable mishaps.
Such troubles are in the main oc¬
casioned by allowing dust or grit to
accumulate within the camera, by
winding with the bellows closed, by
mishandling the film when loosely
spooled, and by overlooking small
imperfections which may have developed
within the camera itself.
Avoiding Blemishes.
Obviously, the best way to prevent
the accumulation of dust is to use a
cleaning brush (a small camel-hair paint¬
brush is excellent lor the purpose) at
frequent intervals, and to keep the
instrument protected within its case
when not in use. Even with miniature
cameras, dust accumulation is only a
matter of time ; though the task of
cleaning may to some extent be governed
by the amount of film passed through
the camera.
When working in the country or at
the sea.side, sandy grit is liable to
enter the camera with the introduction
of a new spool of film, and special
precautions are in such cases necessary
to ensure that both camera and spools
are free from adhering particles at the
time of changing over.
“ Tramlines,” or lateral scratches.

affecting whole lengths of the film may
be caused by tightening a loosely-wound
spool after removal from the camera, or
they may be occasioned by winding
from one exposure to the next with the
camera bellows closed.
Loose spooling is not a matter of
frequent occurrence, but it may be
experienced when exposed films are
taken from the camera and the adhesive
tab is not stuck firmly into position at
once. Winding the film with the bellows
closed may easily become a habit — until
it is recognised as the primary cause of
these scratches, after which the practice
is hardly ever likely to be repeated.
Films that happen to be taken loosely
wound from the camera and not stuck
down should be placed into a dark box
or other receptacle immediately on
removal. If exposed to the light they
are extremely liable to become fogged
at the edges. It must also be realised
that jolting occasioned when a loosely-
wound film is carried about in the pocket
may set up local abrasions on the
emulsion surface.
Other forms of abrasion may be
caused by contact with friction surfaces
within _^the camera, whilst local fogging

may also result from pinholes in the
bellows or light leakage from other
parts of the camera.
After- Development Hints.
Efficient film tanks have done away
with much of -the trouble formerly
experienced in the home development
of roll films. Risk of injury is still
prevalent, however, in the after-develop¬
ment stage.
Washing, for instance, is an operation
which must be conducted with the
greatest possible care, since the delicate
emulsion is in a very soft state and is
extremely susceptible to finger-prints,
nail scratches and the like.
Immersion in water at varying tem¬
peratures and prolonged washing are
alike prone to result in frilling and
blistering — though the use of a pre¬
liminary hardening bath is of some
assistance in preventing the occurrence
of these troubles. Rubber gloves,^ too,
are most inexpensive and form a ready
means of preventing chance blemishes.
Drying should be conducted in a
dry, du.stproof place away from the
workroom and deleterious fumes. Dur¬
ing the summer months, drying is apt to
be too quickly accomplished ; and this,
in the case of films which have been
allowed to soak for a long period, is
prone to result in twisting and cockling.
Rapid drying is also responsible for
" tear-drop ” markings on the films.
Since these are most objectionable and
are difficult to remove, it is advisable
to sponge all surplus water from the
film surfaces before commencing to dry.
This is best done with the aid of a
chamois pad saturated' in water and
wrung out immediately before com¬
mencing the swabbing.

Extremely pleasing results and much en¬
joyment can be obtained by photographing
children who are quite unconscious of the
camera’s presence. When photographed in
this fashion, they exhibit a variety of intriguing
expressions and moods, and play happily absorbed
in their games, quite oblivious of the amateur photo¬
grapher who is wisely seizing his opportunity.
Very hne poses, essentially natural, are caught
in this manner, and the results are delightfully
sincere. Such pictures will charm both parent and
photographer ; but the photographer must ' be
alert and quick.
Most youngsters are seldom still.
No sooner does one thought strike
them than they are immediately
the victims of another still more
fascinating one, which has to be
put into action the same split
second. Before the poor frustrated
man with the camera has even an
opportunity to focus a particularly
briUiant pose, young lightning is
off out of range, pursuing some
other will-o’-the-wisp.
Photographing children while they
are playing is the hnest test of pa¬

but given only a normal share of
these desirable virtues, one can see
the funny side through the frustra¬

for it does not so easily draw the
attention, and very often escapes
notice altogether.
Sometimes kiddies have to be
posed, and then it is better to get
them interested in something such
as a toy, and the right opportunity
will soon present itself. For telling
a young child to do this or that
usually produces a self-conscious
smirk, or a strained attitude, and
then the utmost skill is required
in order to produce a likeness
which does not show camera con¬
sciousness.

engrossed in the children’s play and forget that your
primary object is photography.
As to the form iu which the results are to be presented,
it is evident, in the first place, that the pictures must
be enlarged, especi¬
ally when a minia¬
ture camera has been
used. Inasmuch as
sunlight is more
often a feature than
not in this type of
subject, a warm-
tone print on a
cream base gener¬
ally fills the bill,
and chloro-bromide

mind. After all,

focus, and it will occupy most of
one’s attention while following chil¬

will be constantly changing, and it
is important to watch this closely,
as an unsuitable one will definitely
spoil an otherwise splendid picture.
Lastly, the lighting has to be
considered. Blinding sunlight will

extremely pictorial results may be made against
the sun. This method will light up the curls and
hair most prettily from behind, while the face will
be softly lighted by that which is reflected. Side
lighting is very useful, also, as it throws up a child’s
chubby modelling, and malces its charming plump¬
ness apparent.
The parks and seashores are fruitful sources of
unsuspecting material. Many a happy picture can
be poached around the model yachting ponds or

Competitions
and the Camera
By WM, C. WATERMAN.
The photographic competition season is now in full
swing. Newspapers and other periodicals, the
manufacturers of photographic requisites, various
^seaside resorts, and advertisers of household commodities
are amongst the organisations which offer valuable prizes
for open competition. The field is a very wide one, catering
for all workers from the serious amateur to the casual
holiday snapshotter.
Before entering for any competition a careful study should
be made of the t5q)e of photograph specified, and the
Tenderfeet.
Getting acquainted.
conditions governing entry. The type
of picture required is often summed
up in the title, e.g., “Happiness,”
“ The Holiday Spirit,” “ Beauty
Snaps,” “ News Snaps,” etc.
The title “ Holiday Snaps ” provides
a very wide scope and includes prac¬
tically all the above subjects, but
does not imply that any snapshot
taken on holiday would appeal to a
competition judge. A holiday photo¬
graph should convey the holiday
spirit in an attractive manner. Any
picture depicting holiday-makers en¬
joying their vacation would be certain
to receive careful consideration.
The rules governing the competition
must be rigidly observed. These may
specify the size of the print, and
whether it must be mounted, whether
exclusive entries which have not been
submitted elsewhere are desired ; re¬
quirements as to coupons or entry
forms, and sometimes entries which
have been previously published are
barred. The last point is of great importance, and has
caused, in a recent case, the disqualification of a print
which had been announced as the winner of a substantial
first prize.
It is, therefore, a mistake to enter -duplicate prints of an
exceptional subject for more than one competition, for if
a small prize be awarded in one competition the publica¬
tion of the print may automatically disqualify it from
being considered elsewhere.
A study of the published winners during the run of a
competition will indicate the right quarter to which to
submit a likely print. To avoid complications it is ad¬
visable to make several exposures on a subject with out¬
standing appeal, varying the viewpoint or arrangement
with each. There can then be no objection to entering
prints, similar in idea, but differing in minor details, in
several competitions.

NETTAR
A TYPICAL ZEISS IKON PRODUCT.
THE CAMERA FOR EVERYBODY.
The Nettar has so many advantages that before deciding on a camera at £3 lOs. or
upwards the amateur will be wise to see the Nettar first. The Nettar is equipped with
rapid anastigmats, is self-opening by pressing a button, thus making it as simple as a
box camera, but immeasurably more efficient. The Zeiss Ikon “ two-dot system ”
makes possible sharp pictures without special focussing by simply adjusting focus and
diaphragm to respective dots and leaving them there. Give a I /25th second exposure,
hold camera steady, take your snapshot out of doors in any fair light, and you get
perfect pictures. Ready for use in an instant.

A big percentage of awards go to studies of young

have a wide appeal, possessing as they do what is known
as “ human interest.” When on holiday at the seaside the
beginner should study his own or other people’s children

More often, however, a likely subject will need the intro¬
duction of a suitable figure, or is spoilt by the presence of
inharmonious features or the absence of sunshine. Much
patience and perseverance are needed, but given these
attributes, together with quick perception and a good,
all-round technique, the enthusiast will sooner or later be
rewarded with desirable plums from the competition pudding.
Finally, the necessity for observing the rules and condi¬

already referred to, details such as marking every print

looked, or the entry may be disqualified.

HOLIDAY PHOTOGRAPHS.
NOTES C NOTIONS
the
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
IN these present chats about holiday
photographs it must be evident
that I am paying some attention
to subjects other than the usual
seaside snapshots which are so de¬
finitely ^.ssociated with ideas of holi¬
day photography. I am doing this
because I know that there are many
photographers who, on their holidays,
do not expend all their films on
“ bathing belles ” and youngsters with
spade and pail, but hunt around for
subjects of the record and the archi¬
tectural type. They visit cathedrals,
churches, castles, old cottages and
so on, and like to get photographic
mementoes of what they find.
Hence my advocacy of the tripod.
When I was in Winchester Cathedral
lately I took only the small folding
camera, 3^X2^, to which I have
referred, together with a light tele¬
scopic tripod. I got a permit for the
day, the reasonable charge being
one shilling. Although the altar screen
is a much-photographed subject, and
obtainable in many commercial forms,
I wanted a negative of my own. I
got it, but with difficulty.
I was on the point of making an
exposure when a verger
entered with a party of
some thirty visitors, and
held forth at great
length. Then he
brought his flock to
where I was standing,
and I had to protect my
frail outfit from being
overturned and
trampled upon by mas¬
sive and obviously bored
sightseers. WTien they
had departed there was
a long succession of
ladies, youthful and an¬
tique, who stood in
the aisle in front of me
and took snapshots of
the screen with little
box cameras. Even if
I said here what I
think of them I should
be quite safe, as they
cannot possibly be read¬
ers of these pages, or
they would know better
than to “ snapshot ” in
a cathedral interior.
Roughly speaking, I
gave five hundred times
the exposure they were
giving, and as my neg¬
ative is a good one,
theirs must all be bad.
There is no such latitude
as that in exposure.
Let me give some
details of my own pro¬
cedure. The screen is

light, but not glaringly white, although
there was a splash of sunlight on part
of it. Another part was in shadow.

stalls and the designs on the windows
are properly recorded ; and every
figure on the screen, in sunlight or
in shadow, is beautifully modelled.
The exposure, on Verichrome pack
film, was twenty seconds at f/i6 ;
not, mark you, i/25th of a second at
f/ii or f/14, as the ladies must have
been giving.
When it came to development I
kept on the alert. First appeared
the little windows, then the sunht
patches, quickly and surely followed
by the other tones and' details in
succession down to the dark seats.
Then I promptly rinsed and fixed the
negative, which is a good one. I am
not boasting ; I am simply pointing

out once more what I believe to be
the best method with such subjects.
Had the exposure been much less
I should have had to wait for shadow
detail, and meanwhile those little
windows would have acquired im¬
possible density and shown bad hala¬
tion.
Other subjects that followed had
varying exposures according to cir¬
cumstances, between five and thirty
seconds, but every one produced a
good negative.
Perhaps you remember a bit of
interior in an old mill, last week.
A friend who saw the original print
remarked that it was all very well,
as no doubt I could fake a good print
from any old negative. Complimen¬
tary in a way, but untrue. That print
and the Winchester one are untouched
prints from untouched negatives.
There is no faking or modification
whatever. And that is the best way
of getting good technical results.
The doorway at Portchester Castle
was taken without a tripod, but here
again a very short exposure would
have been inadequate. Although it is
in an open courtyard the stone is old
and dark. I gave a hand exposure of
one-tenth of a second at f/8, and
The Camber, Portsmouth.
allowed full development to emphasise
the light on the stonework inside the
do'^".
This adjustment of exposure 'and
development in accordance with the
character of the subject and the
result desired is of great importance.
Hence the profoundly unsatisfactory
procedure of letting someone else do
the developing in the mass. Both of
the subjects to which I have referred
would have been ruined by such a
method. Certainly I have advised
the absolute novice to have his earliest
exposures handled professionally, but
later on, if he wants his work to be
of the best he must learn to do it
himself, and to mix his solutions with
brains. There is no other way.
When it comes to such a subject as
the corner of the Camber at Ports¬
mouth matters are simpler and easier.
We need no tripod ; it would only
hamper us. The box camera, with its
fixed stop and single shutter speed
comes into its own, and provided the
light is reasonably good we can get
more or less on the bull’s-eye at every
shot. This is the sort of holiday
snap that requires very little said
about it. The reredos at Winchester
is a different proposition altogether,
and demands that we shall put on our
thinking-cap and walk warily.
W. L. F. W.
D. & P. from the Trade Worker s Vieiupoint
By A. F. W.
Most films are exposed over the
week-end, so the beginning of
the week is always a busy
time for D. & P. works. When on
Monday morning you hand that roll
of exposures over the counter of
the local chemist, please don’t think
that yours is the only spool he is
going to send to the finishers to be
processed.
In the height of the season it may
be one of fifty, so you see it is not
much good your asking that yours
shall receive special attention. He
may write all your instructions on
the counterfoil, but to the film de¬
veloper and printer it is just another
spool, one of thousands.
When a tired and fed-up film
developer (I say fed-up, because sum¬
mer to him means long hours in the
light of ruby lamps while you snap-
shooters are down on the beach
enjoying the sunshine ; and, as the
scientists tell us, red is a colour that
irritates the nerves and does not
improve the temper), when, as I say,
he picks up a spool that has yards of
instructions wrapped around it, he
reads them, snorts, maybe he swears,
and slings it in the box along with
hundreds more.
Perhaps he has got nearly a thousand
films to put through the tanks, and
these must all be developed, dried,
printed and out again in time to
maintain a six-hour service. If you
want your spool to receive special and
individual attention, take it to the
shop in the latter part of the week.
The factory has got over the week¬
end rush and has more time to
spare.
Again, don’t stick the end of the
red paper down with stamp paper or
gum ; fold the point of the red backing
underneath itself as per the maker’s
instructions. It makes the opening of
the spool much easier.
Don’t, as in some cases I have come
across, put the film in an envelope,
tie it round with string, bootlace or
even copper wire. It’s frightfully
detrimental to fast working.
If you receive your film back with
red paper stuck on the back of the
negatives don’t blame the finisher ;
remember that you dropped the
camera in the sea. Cameras are not
waterproof.
Don’t blame him if little Willie has
four legs and two heads. You ex¬
posed the negative an 1 forgot to wind
on the film.
Films are developed by the time
and temperature method. A normal
exposure will yield a good negative ;
under- or over-exposure cannot be
corrected by the finisher.
The ordinary tank developer will
not suit the fine grain of the miniature
films such as Leica. Negatives are
much too hard for good enlargements.
Take all these to dealers who specialise
in the processing of this material.
Don’t buy cheap stale films ; they
turn all the colours of the rainbow
in the developer.
Mark all panchromatics very plainly.
Most up-to-date firms are installing
the new safelights, but a good many
st.ll stick to the red lamps. Get the
chemist to put your film in a red
envelope provided for the purpose.
This is a very effective warning to
the finisher. When ordering reprints
please label the negatives plainly.
Nearly all the mistakes are on the
customer’s side, but she or he won t
have it so.
Above all, even the most modern
firm equipped with the latest plant
is sometimes overwhelmed and forced
to break service ; so don’t be annoyed
if your snaps are not done in the
specified time.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
“ 1% T ANY years ago I was attracted to photography by a
1 y I desire to attempt picture-making with the camera ;
and while 1 have had occasional lapses from my original
enthusiasm, I always return to my original keenness for this
■very absorbing hobby. In my early years, a half-plate and
stand was the only apparatus with which a serious-minded
worker would ever think of attempting picture-making ; and
while the very small modern instrument has many advantages
(weight and running costs), one feels that the critical selection
which a half-plate and focussing screen gives is lacking in
the more modern equipment.
" For a number of years I ploughed a lone furrow. In
those days I really thought I produced masterpieces ; but on
becoming a member of the Glasgow and West of Scotland
Amateur Photographic Association I had an awakening, as it
was only on seeing my ‘ masterpieces ’ hung alongside the
work of more experienced members that I realised the great
advantages of club membership.
How I made my Exhibition Pictures,’ sounds like a
conundrum ; exhibition pictures seem to make themselves.
“ My photography is done mostly during my annual holiday,
and I invariably bring back a quantity of exposed plates.
These are all carefully developed, but a great
many are born to blush unseen, and never get
beyond that stage. Others, the more promising,
are enlarged to whole-plate, but even some of
these go no farther.
“ The type of camera I now use exclusively is
a quarter-plate reflex. 1 use three lenses, a 5^-in.
fitted with a Compur shutter (I find the speeds
on this type are very helpful), a 6-in. and a lo-in.
These are all interchangeable in the camera panel.
1 was in the habit of using any sort of plate
available at the time of purchase but now have
dug myself in with one brand only, and that is
Special Rapid Panchromatic plates (backed) with
a il-times filter. I think it is imperative to
master one make of plate or film ; it is really
surprising the difference a change makes.
“ Development is by tank. Using 3 drams
Rodinal and 20 oz. water at the ordinary tap
temperature (about 56°), the time is 30 minutes.
This gives me, I find, the correct type of negative.
My output is not by any means considerable, as
I only expose on subject matter that appeals to
me at the time, and have frequently gone back
to a particular place at different times of the day
and year to secure what I was after. As I exercise
considerable care in selection of subject matter
I would say that all my work is straight untouched
photography. The only control I use is during
enlarging, the holding back, or the longer printing
of a particular part, and the spotting of any
pinholes in the negative.
" For some time now I have used Kodak Royal
for all exhibition prints (developed with Rodinal).
These are carefully exposed, and developed to
finality, and fixed in acid hypo. I have also
used chloro-bromide (the maker’s developer), but
find unless these prints are made from an enlarged
negative the quality is not the same.
“ I have no decided leaning towards any par¬
ticular subject ; everything with sunshine and
shadow makes its appeal, and wonderful effects
are possible in all our large towns. The difficulty
in securing these is that they are only there during
business hours, and it is impossible to combine
business with pleasure.”

Some Critical Commeme “ ”
Not content with having one go
at the subject, Mr. C. Seldon
— in “ The Cloud Background,”
No. 3 of the prints reproduced on the
opposite page — has another, his former
shot being displayed on the same
page in our last week’s issue. The
tree on the left appears to be the same,
but it is seen from another angle ;
two other trees are included, and the
sky setting varies considerably.
A (Vise Precaution.
Which is to be preferred is largely
a matter of taste, but, amended as
suggested, most people would, on the
whole, be inclined to select the former
effort as the better, even though, in
this instance, the sky has points of
advantage over the other.
This impression is not so simple in
its arrangement, and it is questionable
if the additional trees are worth
including, for their shape is not
particularly pleasing, and they seem
to crowd the bigger tree too much
towards the left-hand edge. This does
not therefore stand out so well, nor
is its grace able to display itself so
effectively ; but, despite the lesser
attraction of this example, it is a
wise precaution to get into the habit
of looking round a subject after having
taken it from the point of view from
which it first appealed, for, while it
may not be productive in every case,
it will be so on occasion, and, when
that happens, the extra trouble will
be well repaid.
Moreover, it instils the capacity for
sizing up a subject so that, in time,
the best possible viewpoint is in¬
stinctively chosen ; but, even when that
ability is acquired, it is often ad¬
visable to make a second exposure to
provide against the possibility of any
mischance arising in connection with
the first.
Dappled Sunshine.
With a subject like No. 2, ” Devon
Cottage,” by W. E. La Riviere, it
would, however, be wise to make
sure of the thing at the first shot, for,
with the sunlight falling at so acute
an angle, it would not stay for very
long, and, if any time were spent
looking about for a better viewpoint,
there would be a strong probability
that the effect would vanish altogether.
After making sure of the one
impression, it would, of course, be
advisable to have a look round, and,
if anything better appeared, or if it
seemed likely that the effect would be
more pronounced a little earlier,
another shot might be made then and
there, or a note made to revisit the
scene at the next opportunity.
As it happens, it does seem as
though the effect would be more
in evidence at an earlier hour ; but,
nevertheless, it is very pleasing as it is
now rendered. The doorway is well
placed for an appropriate figure, and,
if such could be found and persuaded
to pose, a most attractive picture
could be made. Turning to No. i,
” Sidmouth Cliffs,” by E. W. Kiing,
there is a figure, and, while he is
perfectly suitable, he is so much off
the map that he might just as well
not be there.
Fortuitous Figures.
With the present arrangement of the
setting, he should be placed just
where the downward line, of the edge
of the near cliff meets the shore.
There, he would be soundly placed
and would make quite a different
thing of the subject.
As the print stands, his occurrence
seems to be more or less fortuitous,
whereas, if he were placed as indicated,
he would give point to the subject
and give it a value that it does not
now possess. Moreover, instead of a
haphazard appearance, it would be¬
tray evidence of a definite pictorial
intention, and, as such, rank infinitely
higher.
The bicycle in No. 6, ” Sunlight
and Shadow,” by C. R. Newing,
seems to be included with a definite
purpose. It does provide a needed
accent just where one should occur,
and, if nothing better could be found,
it must be accepted for what it is and
for what it does. All the same, it
does strike a somewhat incongruous
note, having regard to its comparative
modernity and the ancient character
of the setting, and, if something a
little more in keeping could have been
substituted, the subject would have
appeared more finished and complete.
The sunlight and shadow itself is
delightfully represented; and another
well-seen effect of sunshine, but of
another type, is provided by No. 5,
‘‘ A Devonshire Dale,” by P. H. Speed.
Sunniness in Landscape.
In this case, the landscape is viewed
against the light. In such circum¬
stances there is a fair amount of
shadow, and this sets forth and en¬
hances the sunshine.
It could be wished, however, that the
light on the strip of meadow on the
right were more ht the picture, for,
like the figure in No. i, it runs too
near the edge to convey its full effect.
Its slight adverse influence is re¬
deemed, to a not inconsiderable ex¬
tent, by the bright note to its left which
is afforded by the boulder in the
stream ; but, if the tone of the meadow
were 'somewhat subdued, the com¬
position would be much improved.
In other respects the subject is
remarkably well arranged, the centre
of interest lying in the clump of
trees on the left, and that clump being
nicely balanced on the other side by
the darkish bush.
The dark of the principal clump of
trees admirably shows up the at¬
mospheric delicacy of the distant
hillside behind, but, in view of the
lack of distinction between the steep
banks on the left and the water below,
it is questionable if a sufficient allow¬
ance were made in the exposure.
Exposure and the Scene.
It may be explained that, with so
high a proportion of shadow — a state
of affairs which usually happens with
a contra jour lighting — it is necessary
to make a very appreciable increase
in the time of exposure. If, as an
example, i/25th of a second were
enough with the light coming from
behind and falling full on the subject,
the same scene, seen against the light,
would need a full quarter second, and
double that might be given.
From which it will be inferred that
the proportion of darks in the subject
governs the exposure required, and
this is the reason for the old familiar
maxim, which should still be followed
in these days of ultra-rapid lenses and
emulsions of surprising speed, ” Ex¬
pose for the shadows and let the
lights take care of themselves.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
^^THE SILENT WATCH,” hy Miss Nancy Huggins.
The quality of impressiveness,
as well as the beauty of a night
scene in urban surroundings,
are admirably conveyed in this noc¬
turnal study. Notwithstanding its
essential character, there is a fine
feeling of light and atmosphere, yet,
at the same time, it does not lose the
innate nature of night-time, or present
the similitude of a daylight subject.
Shades of Night.
It is seldom possible, in
the country, to do much in
pictorial work once night has
fallen. There is rarely suffi¬
cient illumination, and, if
this should happen, it is
rarer still that a sense of light
can be incorporated, for, as
a rule, what tone there may
be in the sky makes little, if
any, impression on the plate.
In towns and cities, how¬
ever, the opportunities of
making pictures when the
shades of night are falling
are more profuse, for there
is usually ample light, it is
possible to choose the time
when weather conditions are
most promising, and it also
seems to be the case that
buildings and monuments lend
themselves to artificial light¬
ing better than anything that
can be found in the country.
If there happens to be a
touch of mist or rain, it is
well suggested on account of
the great degree of reflection
that occurs, and pitch black
skies, whichalways seem anom¬
alous, need never make an appearance.
The point is well demonstrated, and
full advantage taken of the offered
opportunities in this instance. Having
regard to the nature of the subject,
the tone values are well recorded,
there is just about the right degree
of tone in the upper portions, and the
dark of the pedestal on the right does
not seem excessive. It is necessary
that it should be dark in order to
throw up the lighter tone of the
sphinx (i), which forms the centre of
interest.
The Central Position.
It will be observed that the head of
this figure is practically dead on the
centre line. The body runs off to the
left, it is true, but the head, as the
essential element, is definitely central.
Yet the composition does not seem
wrong, nor is there any suggestion of
formality or inclination towards sym-
metricality, which goes to show, once
again, that there is no rule in com¬
position that can always be regarded
as absolute, nor one that cannot be
broken on occasion.
Symmetry is avoided on account of
the differences in the masses on each
side. The plinth on the right is heavy
in tone and its mass is considerable.
'On the left, apart from the body of
the figure, there is only the lamp
standard. The first vastly outweighs
the second, and the fact that the body
is visible tends to create an illusion
that the head to which it is attached
is farther over to the left than it is
in actuality.
The important mass of the plinth,
too, helps the same illusion, for, by
suggesting that its' width fills more
of the picture space than it really does^
it also tends to convey the impression,
that the head is off the centre.
So that, although in fact the head
is central, there is an illusion that
such is not the case, and the drawbacks-
usuaily associated with that position
have been cleverly avoided. But,,
while this is an exceptional case, and
it is said that exceptions prove the rule,
it should not be taken that
the rule in question can be
broken with impunity. It
should be strongly emphasised
that the central position is
one that should only be
employed where there is a
special reason for it and that
reason is adequate to justify
its adoption. The thing is tO’
know when to use it and
when to leave it alone, and,
if any of the drawbacks
mentioned — formality or sym-
metricality — are inclined to
assert themselves, it should
not be chosen. If, on the
other hand, the subject only
appears to be properly dis¬
posed when the centre of
interest is centrally placed,
and no other placing conveys
the same sense of rightness,
there is no reason why it
should not be employed.
A Sense of Rightness.
Discretion must be exer¬
cised when its adoption is in
contemplation, but, if it
seems right, the fact that a
rule against it exists should
not be allowed to exert an
influence debarring its choice, and
personal feeling is the final arbiter in
each particular case.
That it was wisely chosen in this
instance there seems to be no reason
to doubt, for, as far as the arrangement
is concerned, nothing could be taken
away from either side without im¬
pairment, nor does it seem that either
needs an addition. To the educated
eye, the subject seems properly dis¬
posed, and if it seems right it must
be right.
At all events, it has the merit of
conveying a night effect with admirable
clarity, and that it does so is ample
justification. “ Mentor.”

NEW CAMERAS
July nth, 1934
SOME
A Zeiss Ikon de Luxe Model.
The Super Ikonta camera for
roll films, which the Zeiss Ikon firm
(of II, Mortimer Street, W.) introduced
not long ago, with its range-finder auto¬
matically coupled to the focussing, has
been such a success among those photo¬
graphers who always choose high-class
instruments that a hearty welcome is
assured for its bigger brother — the model
for 4^X2^ films. This, with a Compur
shutter and an f/4.5 Tessar of 4|-in.
focal length, costs £18 15s.
It is made to take the new metal
spools only — those spools taking stand¬
ard and “ chrome ” film which are
designed to enable the camera-makers
to reduce the size of the spool-chambers
and keep cameras as small as possible.
In the Zeiss Ikon films the size is. the
D.M. 8 ; in Kodak it is the 616 size. It
is designed for eight 2^x4^ negatives or
(by the insertion of a mask) sixteen half¬
size negatives (zj x.zj^ in.).
This camera has the range-finder which
uses an arm carrying an extra lens of
small diameter on the lens front. The
camera is self-erecting, and it closes
automatically ; and altogether it is right
up-to-date in its resources. Moreover, it
is only an inch longer tliat the 2^x3!
model. The direct-vision finder is an
unusually plain guide to the picture on
the film. Altogether a first-class instru¬
ment.
The Leica “ 250.”
Although with the Leica, thirty-six
exposures can be made with one loading,
there are people like Press photographers,
explorers and others, who find it a
disadvantage under certain circumstances
to have to change a film. The latest
addition, therefore, to the various Leica
models is the Leica “ 250,” which, as
the name implies, allows of taking up
to 250 exposures with one loading.
Whilst the actual mechanism of the
ordinary Leica is preserved, i.e., auto¬
matic focussing, combined winding of
film and setting of shutter, etc., the
two ends take the form of drums which
project forward so that the back of the
camera is still flat. The film is loaded in
on one side and removed after exposure
on the other. No rewinding is necessary.
Apart from the outdoor workers there is
the librarian, who will appreciate this
model. The price of the Leica “ 250 ”
is ^43 i8s. 6d. with Elmar lens, and
full particulars concerning it are obtain¬
able from Messrs. E. Leitz, 20, Mortimer
Street, W.
The Certo “ Double- Box ” Camera.
An attractive little box camera that
can be used alternatively for exposures
of 6x9 cm. (2JX3J) or 4.3x6 cm.
(1JX2J) on the same spool is the Certo
" Double-Box,” supplied by Messrs.
Actina, Ltd., of 29, Red Lion Square,
High Holborn.
The change can
be effected while
the spool is in
place and with¬
out opening the
camera, merely
by turning a
milled knob that
indicates the size
in use and the
appropriate red
observation win¬
dow shows the
position of the
film. The camera is made from light
metal, covered with finely grained
leather. The boundaries of the pictures
are ascertained by means of large
brilliant finders ; the shutter is simple,
giving but one instantaneous exposure,
I /25th sec., T. and B. The largest
aperture of the lens is f/ii, which gives
sharp focus from about 9 ft. to infinity.
For “ close-ups ” a supplementary lens
is used. It is an ideal ever-ready camera
for the beginner, especially for holiday
work. The price is 21s. od. only.

Almost a Pocket Cine Camera.
A new Bell & Howell Filmo for
i6-mm. film is always interesting to a
large circle of cinematographers, but
when it takes the form of a small camera,
5J in. long, 2^ in. wide, and 3-^ in. deep,
which weighs only 37 oz., and costs
£22 — and these are features of the new
Bell-Howell Filmo 121 — it is something
special to think about.
The new Filmo takes 50-ft. chargers,
such as are supplied by Kodak for the
Simplex cine camera, and loading
with
these is

stigmat ;
the camera has two speeds, 16 per second
(normal), and a useful 24-a-sepond speed
for slowed-down pictures, as well as a
single-frame exposure device ; and two
finders, one at waist-level, and, of
course, a good eye-level tubular finder.
With an inexpensive adapter any
lens used in 4 Filmo 70 (the turret
model Bell-Howell) can be used in the
Filmo 1 21 interchangeably — a great
asset when there is another Bell-Howelt
in the family or among a party of friends.
Even Kodacolor is possible if the Cooke
f/i.8 lens is used in the little camera.
A well-balanced little instrument, easy
and comfortable in the hand, and as
convenient at eye-level as any camera
can be. The construction is good — die-
cast aluminium, brown fabric leather
covering, and starter-button guarded
against accidental starting.
There is an exposure guide for the
whole year, which is as informative as
one can expect, seeing that the designer
does not know what film the user will
employ or the latitude in which it will
be used. A leather carrying-case is
included in the £22 outfit. Further
particulars can be obtained from Messrs,
Bell & Howell, Ltd., 320, Regent St., W.i,

J etters
to the Editor
The Editor is not responsible for
the opinions of his correspondents .
USING PAN. FILM.
Sir, — May I pass on a hint to users of pan. films ?
When using adhesive tape provided, first stick a little paper
to it, the size of the red window, so as to prevent sticking to
glass or celluloid and causing damage; on some cameras the
window may be pulled right out by the tape. — -Yours, etc.,
H. W. COLLEY.
weight. Also I cannot understand why the folding type of
reflex does not receive more attention from the manufacturer.
Here is the best means of overcoming the old bugbear as to
the disadvantage of bulk.
I must take this opportunity of congratulating you on the
excellence of " The A.P.”, which I feel sure has been the means
of bringing many a beginner to the advanced worker stage. —
Yours, etc., JACK ARNOLD.
PHOTOGRAPHING THE MOON.
Sir, — It is comparatively easy — using super-speed material
— to photograph the full moon through a small astronomical
refracting telescope. The/ value being about fourteen, a brief¬
time exiiosure of two seconds is ample. A 60 x eyepiece is
most suitable. The best camera is a reflex ; the lens being
left in, improves rather than detracts from the definition.
—Yours, etc., A. TROWBRIDGE.
THE PERFECT CAMERA.
Sir, — -I have been very interested in the numerous letters in
“ The A.P.” regarding the “ perfect camera,” and put down
my ideas here.
The camera should have one lens only, as opposed to the
finder and taking lenses of some cameras, to enable the use of
a telephoto lens when required. Roll film or plate 4^X6 or
2JX3J, with a special addition such as is fitted to Exakta
reflexes for an eye-level viewpoint, worked by a mirror at an
angle of 45 degrees, and reflecting the original on to the ground-
glass screen. A focal-plane shutter, i to i/500th, self-capping.
The whole in the convenient shape of the Exakta, which falls
only a trifle short of my idea of the perfect camera. I am now
using a Rolleicord, which has so far proved very satisfactory.
—Yours, etc., M. V. ROBINSON.
MINIATURE CAMERAS.
Sir, — The Amateur Photographer of April i8th, 1934, dealt
with miniature cameras, and the Buyers’ Guide printed with
the iss'i? ontained descriptions of some of the popular types.
Many amateur photographers, however, who would like to be
miniaturists, prefer the vest-pocket size of camera taking
the 4.5x6 cm. roll film.
There should, I think, be a large demand for a vest-pocket
camera taking the 4.5 x6 cm. roll film as well as plates of this
size, and film packs, if it had a range-finder coupled to the
focussing, and a fast lens of, say, 7.5-cm. focal length, working
at an aperture of f/3.5, and preferably f/2.8. A Corapur shutter
is, of course, a necessity. This should be easily removable. It
should also be possible to use a telephoto lens such as the 6-in.
Dallon f/6.3, which could be screwed on to the front of the
shutter after removing the front and back components of the
normal lens.
Such a camera would be small enough to carry about in the
coat or vest pocket without inconvenience, and the larger size
of the film would permit of respectable enlargements without
fear of the grain of the film showing. In other words, cannot
some manufacturer do, but at less cost, for the 4.5X6 cm.
camera what Messrs. Plaubel of Frankfurt have done for the
3JX2J camera in their Makina II ?
For people of defective eyesight a built-in range-finder is
a blessing. — Yours, etc. F. A. SAMUEL.
- (Lucknow.)
Sir, — There has been a lot of correspondence in these
columns as to the merits and demerits of the miniature camera.
The possibilities of these "precision” instruments are un¬
questionable, as the examples we have seen in the various
international exhibitions prove.
However, I think the manufacturer, in concentrating on the
miniature size, loses sight of the requirements of those workers
who prefer something larger, such as 3iX2|- and 4JX3J
sizes for pictorial work.
I firmly believe that there is still room for improvement in
most reflex cameras of these sizes as to reduction of bulk and
FOGGING ROLL FILMS IN ADAPTER.
Sir, — Some of your correspondents seem to ha^ e missed the
point about, the fogging of panchromatic roll films when in
use in roll-film adapters for plate cameras. It is not the
red windpw that is the prime cause of fogging, but the design,
for in most cases these devices are so constructed that the film
is wound on to the take-up spool inside out, and, of course,
until the film is completely wound red light from the window
can stray along the back of the adapter to the exposed surface
of the film. The backing paper of pan. films is, I find, suffi¬
ciently opaque to resist the action of sunlight, at any rate
for a reasonable time. Personally, I ha\'e never had any
fogging trouble when using films like the Agfa Superpan and
Kodak Supersensitive in a roll-film camera with an unshuttered
red window. — Yours, etc., R. E. S. WHITE.
PHOTOGRAPHIC ART AND CRAFT.
Sir, — I would not arouse a sleepy argument because of my
interest in discussion, but the art and craft of the pictorialist
is as crooked a business as one could meet.
Straight ? There is nothing straight about it ! Controlled ?
It is control from beginning to end ! What has light actually
to do with the pictorialist ? It comes in at the " tail end ”
and causes a mild disturbance. On top of that, and, inciden¬
tally, because of the necessary achievements of the mathema¬
tician (to mention him alone), it happens that the plate records
more than the artist sets out to record. If this brings in
another matter altogether, I deliberately bring it in to suggest
something of how lightly the artist should lean upon straight
photography. The artist doesn’t want you to see, so to speak.
— Yours, etc., C. S. GRANT.
THE WORK OF MR. ALFRED WATKINS.
Sir, — I was glad to see the portrait of Mr. Alfred Watkins
reproduced in ” The A.P.” for 27th June, and also to read his
very interesting article.
How many of us “ enthusiasts ” fully realise the importance
of his ideas and inventions in photometry and methods of
development ?
Alfred Watkins’ systems were the result of patient experi¬
ment carried out by a pioneer in the days when photography
was neither simple nor as comfortable as it is to-day, and all
honour is due to him.
Thousands of “ snapshotters ” all over the world have
reason also to be grateful to him, through the " D. & P.”
man, and finally there is the enormous public, who, although
not practising photography themselves, quite unknowingly
pay homage by reason of the fact that " time and tem¬
perature ” is universal in the technical side of the great film
industry.
In conclusion, let me remind all your readers of the words of
the late Lord Crawford, President of the Royal Photographic
Society of 1910, who, when personally presenting the Progress
Medal, said, The mere fact of this Society giving the highest
honour at its command to Mr. Watkins this year, stamps his
methods and inventions with a significance which no other
Society in the world could give to them.”
I feel sure that all photographers will join with me in tender¬
ing grateful thanks to Mr. ’Watkins for making our photography
so much easier, and also in wishing him good health and many
more years of active participation in our common hobby. —
Yours, etc., EDWARD H. AUSTIN.

ZEISS IKON CAMERAS
and
PANCHROMATIC FILMS
In response to numerous applications we would say
that, with the exception of the Box Tengor, all 1934 model
Zeiss Ikon roll-film cameras are safe for use with pan¬
chromatic film. We have not adopted the sliding cover
over the window, as in our opinion this fitting is not
entirely satisfactory. Obviously, when the sliding cover
is removed for inspection it is possible that the light may
damage the film. The Zeiss Ikon system makes the
red observation window safe by light trapping the window
itself, thus effectually preventing any extraneous light
reaching the film.
Zeiss Ikon roll-film cameras of earlier series can be
fitted in most cases with the light trapping mentioned
at a small cost. In such cases the cameras in question
should be sent in to us through your dealer.

Filming Night Scenes
The present is a most suitable
time for the filming of night
scenes. In town, decorative
illuminations and neon signs are in
fuU operation long before nightfall —
which means that the lingering day¬
light can be made to bring out greater
•detail in various scenes without in any
way sacrificing the familiar " atmo¬
sphere.” And in the country (hardly
as yet explored for possibilities of
night filming) little indeed can be
accomplished during the darker even¬
ings of the year.
Weather conditions, too, are usually
more suitable at this time of the year,
-and in both cases a good assortment
of valuable shots should be readily
■obtainable.
In Town.
Atmosphere, in town filming, is
related in the main to the evening
bustle of parties bent on relaxation
or pleasure-seeking. It connotes " the
pictures,” theatreland, early dinners,
restaurant suppers, cabaret and late
•dancing. A complete film can be
made to deal with almost any one of
these aspects — but they mean so
little to the average serious worker
that he may be better advised to
make a comprehensive film of the
more familiar aspects or to confine
his activities to outside filming. Here
almost as many different effects are
to be obtained, since crowd and
weather conditions are by no means
constant.
Some excellent results can be ob¬
tained in the streets after a shower of.
rain — when the pavements set up a
brave glitter and quaintly -distorted
reflections are to be recorded in
abundance. To secure these scenes,
it is usually best to shoot from an
angle of forty-five degrees ; though in
any ” one-way traffic ” thoroughfare
the camera may be erected upon an
island refuge and the traffic shown
fleeting by in the same direction on
either side of the picture. The effect
•of scenes such as this has to be seen
to be appreciated.
In town work, detail is not as a
Tule important — many picturesque
scenes'^^eing formed by the bare
lighting alone. This means that quite
ordinary equipment can be made to
yield effective results.
Occasionally, however, it may be
desired to show greater detail in
the streets and in characters con¬
cerned with the piece. In such cases,
the f/1.5 lens and super-speed film
enable much detail to be rendered
without any assistance from special
lighting, whilst in extreme cases (i.e.,
in stage, theatre-vestibule and restau¬
rant shots) recourse can frequently be
had to the half-speed intermittent.
This, of course, should not be used
in the filming of scenes which embrace
very fast action.
Country Work.
Very little in the way of night
filming has yet been performed in the
country. However, some very g )od
casual shots have already been secured
with the aid of ordinary car lighting.
The car itself should be introduced
at once (in order to explain the light¬
ing) and this can be done by showing
the increasing glare of approaching
By
SIGURD MOIR.
lights over a crest in the highway.
Then the car itself can be shown
passing by to stop outside a large and
well-lighted inn. From this point it
is easy to link up continuity interiors
with the various associated shots.
Full use should be made of bar
interiors and atmospheric close-ups.
Occasionally, too, the car lights can
be arranged in such a way that they
introduce secondary or " modelling ”
lighting to a shot of any character
leaving through the doorway of a
brightly-illuminated parlour.
Certain sign-posts and dangerous
localities are also occasionally flood¬
lit, and here again is a valuable
opportunity to indulge in some effec¬
tive atmospheric work. Most of the
shots can be made more convincing
if full use be made of the twilight
period — a combination of fading sun¬
set and floodlight being ideal for
the type of work under discussion.
Although much satisfactory work
can be done with ordinary equipment,
it is very frequently necessary to use
super-speed panchromatic film. This
Tke Battersea Power Station at night with clouds of illuminated smoke and passing river
traffic makes a good subject for the amateur cinS worker who wishes to attempt night filming.

is normally faster all round than any
other type of film, in addition to
which it is infinitely faster to incan¬
descent lighting.
Apertures like f/1.5 and f/1.9 are
very much appreciated where ordinary
“ straight ” interiors are to be re¬
corded on the film, though it goes
without saying that finest screen
contrasts and sparkle are mostly in
evidence where the lighting is bril¬
liant.
When actually filming, the camera
should not be panned or swung about.
And it is better to cut the shots direct
in preference to fading or dissolving
from one scene to another.
In any film of night associations
the essay should be made by abstrac¬
tion as distinct from documentary
treatment. This can be effected with
ease, owing to the richness of atmos¬
pheric quality in the scenes concerned.
A good length for the film is a more
or less definite 200 feet. If the
particular subjects embraced permit, as
much as 400 feet may be retained
from the shots without introducing
monotony.
Titles should be used as sparingly
as possible — not that any large num¬
ber should be found necessary. If
possible, too, the wording should be
arranged in the form of white- spot
letters on a dark ground. This has
some resemblance to the effect which
obtains in a multi-lamp electric sign,
and for this reason serves to strengthen
the work.
Cleaning Your Films “ACTINOGRAPHIST.”
Brilliant lighting and a suitable screen are much appreciated by all serious projectionists. Yet it is not generally known
that clarity and the definition of screen images can be satisfactorily maintained by the adoption of cleaning methods.
ALL films require careful and methodical cleaning at
/A intervals throughout their active employment — though
whether these intervals be long or short depends entirely
upon the manner in which the films are handled.
Films treated with ordinary consideration should require
cleaning not more than once in every hundred runs through
the projector. Which is all to the good, since frequent cleaning
tends to harden the base and so to destroy its flexibility.
Against this, however, films may be so neglected as to require
cleaning after only a short period of active use.
Cleaning Accessories.
Accessories for film cleaning are available in the form of
complete cleaning outfits. Proprietary cleaning fluids are also
obtainable at fairly moderate prices.
Both the above are quite satisfactory in fulfilling the purpose
for which they are intended — i.e., the cleaning of small and
moderate lengths of film ; but special apparatus is preferable
where it is desired to treat greater lengths and feature-subjects.
Illustrated below is a simple accessory which has been
length (400-ft. reels) of i6-mm. film. The apparatus has been
proved very satisfactory in continued use, cleaning the films
in only a fraction of the time occupied when the operation is
undertaken by the more clumsy “ hand-pad and bench ”
method.
Practical Notes.
The cleaner consists simply of two pairs of chamois-leather
pads, the first mounted upon rotating bobbins and the second
forming a flat fixture only a short distance away.
In use, the first or rotating pads are more or less saturated
with cleaning fluid, the film being threaded through both these
and the drying-pads before it is collected upon a take-up
spool. (Actually, the film is drawn through the apparatus
by means of turning the take-up, tension on the pads being
regulated by using fewer or additional layers of chamois.)
The take-up spool must be kept at such a distance from the
drying pads that any remaining fluid has completely evaporated
from the film by the time the latter reaches the spool. With the
first pads saturated, too, the film must be kept well on the move ;
as the pads dry out, turning can be allowed to proceed more
slowly. With these precautions, even action and thorough drying
may be assured. On no account must the damp pads be permitted
to become exhausted. As soon as dry film is observed to be
coming through these, more of the cleaning spirits must be applied .
The second or drying pads require frequent changing — which
is due to their becoming soiled with dirt from the film
surfaces.
Cleaning Fluids.
Several volatile liquids have from time to time been used for
the purpose of cleaning films.
In the early days, crude mineralised methylated spirits-
were generally employed ; but these soon gave way to the
purer industrial methylated spirits (denatured), chloroform,*
carbon tetrachloride, wood naphtha, rectified spirits and re¬
distilled alcohol.
A mixture which gave me entire satisfaction over a number
of years consisted of small quantities of castor oil (to prevent
loss of flexibility) and formalin (to prevent fungous formations,
on the emulsion) in rectified spirits. But it is nowadays possible
to purchase “ surgical spirit ” (conveniently marketed at about
one shilling per pound), which effectively functions in much the
same way.
Wood naphtha costs about ninepence per half-pint (three
times the price of industrial spirits), and may therefore be
regarded as the cheapest of satisfactory cleaners which are:
easily obtainable.
Chloroform too readily evaporates, and is also somewhat
unpleasant to use — though it is an excellent constituent of
“ mixed ” cleaners.
Kino, the amateur cine society formed in November last,
has organised a Cine Festival to be held at King Alfred Schools,
Golders Green, London, on the 21st and 22nd of the present
month. The important day from the serious amateur point of
view will be Sundav the 22nd. On this day, lectures dealing
with various aspects of cinematography will be given (in
person) by H. P. J. Marshall, the Hon. Ivor Montagu and
others.
Amongst the productions which will be included in the
evening programmes are the much-discussed “ Thirst,” a
recent film by H. P. J. Marshall and one of Eisenstein’s out¬
standing classics.
Further information regarding the Festival can be obtained
by making early application to the Hon. Organising Committee,
Kino Festival, i, The Gables, N.W.3.
Sunday, June 3rd, proved to be a landmark in the activities-
of the cine section of the Golders Green and Hendon Radio-
Scientific Society. The section’s first production unit spent
some hours on Hampstead Heath shooting local colour and
other things. This section of the film is to be completed before
Saturday, J uly 1 7th. That evening all members will be meeting
on the premises of the Regal Cinema, 765, Finchley Road,
N.W.ii. The society’s river outing has been fixed for July 15th.
A launch has been hired to take members from Richmond to-
Walton and back, and a film record will be made of the occasion.
More members are required, and interested readers of “ The
A.P.,” especially those who are resident around Hendon,
Golders Green and Hampstead, are asked to communicate
with the Hon. Secretary Mr. I. A. Shoot, 179, West End Lane,

The Exhibition of Prize Prints from
" The A.P.” Competitions is now open
at the house of the Royal Photographic
Society, 35, Russell Square, W.C.,
and affords a good opportunity for
readers who have entered these com¬
petitions to see the prizewinners and
compare the originals with the repro¬
ductions that have appeared in our
pages. The special prize for the best
print entered in the monthly competitions
for the past twelve months is awarded
to W. A. Hooker, of 32, Princes Avenue,
Great Crosby, for his strikingly original
picture “ Decoration.” A reproduction
of this print will be given later.
Ilford, Ltd. have just issued a useful
little booklet with the title ” Photo¬
graphy as an aid to Scientific Work.”
The contents refer to Astronomy,
Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Phy¬
sics ; Geology, Mineralogy and Petro¬
logy ; Medicine and Surgery ; Clinical
Photography and Radiography, and
Metallurgy and Metallography. In each
section full information is given of the
appropriate Ilford materials to employ,
and the list is an illuminating commen¬
tary on the extent of the firm’s products,
many of which do not normally appear
in the regular price lists. It is a booklet
that every serious worker should possess,
and copies will be sent free to any reader
of " The A.P.” on application to Ilford,

A Camera Club has been organised
in Runcorn, Cheshire. A meeting-room
and a dark-room have already been
provided. The Hon. Secretary is W.
Woodbridge, The Cottage, Higher Run¬
corn, and he will be pleased if all ama¬
teur photographers in the locality will
apply to him for full particulars.
A change of secretaryship is an¬
nounced by the Kilburn and Willesden
Photographic Society, and Mr. E. E.
Telfer will now occupy this position.
A word of appreciation is due to the
retiring secretary, Mr. H. F. James, Vi'ho
for a period extending over many years
has filled this position in a very capable
and efficient manner. He has been
unanimously elected a Vice-President.
The Society has been in existence
nearly thirty years, and at present is
fortunate in having a number of willing
and capable workers. The K. & W.P.S.
(locally known as ” The Kiwis ”) is the
only photographic society in N.W.
London, and as such offers a very
cordial welcome to all local amateur
photographers. The Hon. Secretary
(Mr. E. E. Telfer, 14, Robson Avenue,
Willesden, N.W. 10) will be pleased to
send full details of syllabus, subscrip¬
tions, etc., on receipt of a postcard.
A change of Secretary in the Hammer¬
smith Hampshire House Photographic
Society has been made. The Hon.
Gen. Secretary is now C. E. Homer, The
Lodge, The Avenue, W.4.
The Northern Photographic Exhibi¬
tion will be held in the City Art Gallery,
Manchester, from December 8th, 1934,
until January 19th, 1935. The last day
for entry forms will be November 7th,
and last day for exhibits, November
14th. Particulars and entry forms are

At a recent meeting of the Council of
the Royal Photographic Society, it was
reported that the sum of ;^450 had been
received from the executors of the will
of the late Dr. G. H. Rodman, being the
bequest to the Society, less duty, a:rd
that in his will Dr. Rodman had made
the following reference to the bequest :
“ To the Royal Photographic Society
of Great Britain I bequeath the sum of
five hundred pounds to be applied for
the advancing of the work of the Society
in such a way as the Council may direct,
and for the providing of a special bronze
medal to be known as ‘ The Rodman
Medal,’ to be awarded annually at the
exhibition for outstanding work prefer¬
ably of a Photomicrographic or Radio-
graphic nature.”
It is not commonly known that the
Leica camera is playing an important
part in museums and libraries, as it
allows of keeping records of almost
everything with the minimum of ex¬
pense as compared with plate size
cameras, and the sorting of a film con¬
taining 36 or even 250 exposures is
considerably easier than the equivalent
number of plates or film sheets. In
libraries the Leica is used for copying
valuable documents or whole books.
When special reproduction outfits are
provided hundreds of pages can be
reproduced in a very short time.
It is not necessary to make enlarge¬
ments of tlie negatives of pages of books.
A special reading desk, i.e., an enlarger,
on the baseboard of which is placed a
box containing a mirror and a ground-
glass screen, is provided for the con¬
venient reading of manuscripts by way
of projection, without the expense of
making prints. This method is used
by many a foreign historian who comes
to the British Museum for the purpose of
perusing ancient books which he will
not be allowed to remove. The books
are copied in a few hours, and the
negatives are read by projection.
An exhibition of photographs, in¬
cluding a loan collection of infra¬
red and other photographs taken by
The Times on the India and Eastern
Route, are exhibited by Imperial Air¬
ways at Gieves Gallery, 21, Old Bond
Street, W.i. The exhibition was opened
by the Marquess of Londonderry, Secre¬
tary of State for Air, on Monday, July
9th, and remains open until July 21st.

^T^eaders^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
Gfneral. — All cornmimications for the Editor should be addressed : " The Editor, Tne Amateur Photographer
and Cinemaioerapher, Dorset House, Stamford Street. London, S.E.i.’' and in everv case, without exception, must
srive the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subiects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper oniv. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are net paid for. The Editor disclaims
.'cgal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS, or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
:t without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefullv before applying, as any communication whicli does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(I) bee “ General ” above, (e) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in anv case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquirie.^ nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly wxitten, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) .All envelopes should be distinctly marked ” Query " or '* Criticism."
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answ’er by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection or those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut irom the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Glazing Matt Prints.
Is there any wav of treating a matt paper to make
it glossy for reproduction purposes ? I get better
tones on a certain matt paper than I can get on
any glossy one. C. S. G. (Thundersley.)
Some matt papers assume a certain
amount of gloss when . squeegeed down
to glass, in the same way as glossy
papers, but we know of no really satis¬
factory method of doing anything of
the kind. It does not follow by any
means that a glossy surface is necessary
for reproduction purposes, and if you
have a print on a matt paper with good
tone values, that is all that is necessary
for securing the best blocks that can
be made.
Copyright.
I was paid a fee for reproduction of one of my
photographs in a local paper ; am I liable for
infringement of copyright if I sell the same sub¬
ject to another paper ? H. R. W. (Burnham.)
If the fee you received for the print
was paid merely for the right to repro¬
duce in the local paper, you can do what
you like with copies of the print else¬
where. The copyright remains with you,
unless you disposed of it to the paper
which reproduced the print. In all such
•cases it is advisable to have it clearly
stated whether payment is for reproduc¬
tion only, or for acquiring the copyright.
Composition.
Can you tell me of a good book — not expensive —
about pictorial composition in photography ?
D. McD. (Swanage.)
We cannot call to mind any cheap
book that deals at all adequately with
pictorial composition. We know of
no better means of acquiring sound
ideas on this subject than the study week
by week of the article we publish under
the heading of " Pictorial Analysis,”
and even the criticisms of the beginners’
prints impart a great deal of information
about composition and kindred matters.
Stops and Definition.
Does stopping down actually alter focus ? If I
focus at full aperture, and then stop down to f/32,
is it necessary to re-focus ? J. H. H. (London.)
There are a few forms of lenses in
which a very great alteration in aperture
may slightly shift the focus. In the
ordinary way, however, you may dis¬
regard this, and if you focus with full
aperture and then stop down to f/32 it
is hardly likely that there will be any
fault to be found with the definition.
Value of Stops.
I have bought a double-extension camera. How
is the focus altered when the camera is extended,
or how should I calculate the f/ number when
working at 3 ft. or so ? E. E. (Belfast.)
There is no question of alteration in
the focus of the lens in the case you
mention. The stop values, however,
are calculated for the lens when focussed
on infinity, and if you focus on a very
near object the f/ number no longer holds
good. The way to find the new value
of the stops is to measure the distance
from the diaphragm of the lens to the
focussing screen when the lens is focussed
for distance Then make a similar
measurement when the lens is focussed
for a near object. A simple proportion
sum will then give you the new value of
the stop ; because, as the short extension
is to the long extension so is the original
f/ number to the new f/ number.
Sunrise Exposure.
Could you give me a rough idea of the exposure
required for photographing the sunrise from the
top of one of our mountains. I cannot go below
f/6,5. K. H. E. (Ambleside.)
It is quite impossible to suggest a
definite exposure. It would depend upon
the character of the particular morning,
and at actual sunrise even a few minutes
of time makes a difference to the expo¬
sure required. Any pronounced redness
of light, too, would also make a great
48
difference, especially with non-panchro-
matic material. Further, you do not
suggest what kind of landscape, if any,
is to be included. All these points make
it quite impossible to give you definite
information, and if we suggest about
I /25th of a second at f/8 you must
realise that that may be more or less
wide of the mark.
Diapositives.
I have a handbook which uses the words dia¬
positives and dianegatives. Is the “ dia ” before
the words correct ? I cannot find the words in
the dictionary. W. P. (Cullercoats.)
The prefix " dia ” is a Greek one
meaning ‘‘ through.” A diapositive is
therefore a transparency such as a
lantern slide, and is thus distinguished
from a positive image in the form of a
print. The word “ dianegative ” is
more unusual, although it is, of course,
possible to have a negative image on a
base that is not transparent, and there¬
fore cannot be looked through.
Combination Print.
I have to photograph the interior of a church, but
the exposure necessary for the shadow detail means
there will be clogging of the window lights. Is
it possible to make a print for the interior and
another for the window itself, and superimpose
one on the other, then making another negative ?
L. J. B. (Thame.)
The difficulty you describe is a very
common one, but can be successfully
overcome by properly adjusted exposure
and development. There is no reason,
however, why you should not make two
negatives, the second one having a
sufficiently short exposure to record the
detail of the window only. A combina¬
tion print could then be made and a
new negative produced from it. The
most likely trouble in such a case would
arise from the fact that the first negative
would almost certainly show a certain
amount of halation around the window,
and with this foggy surrounding the
clear-cut detail of the window would
not harmonise.
Mass Production.
I have to make two gross of quarter-plate prints,
and am trying to work out a mass production
method. Could 1 develop fifty at a time in dilute
solution, and heave the lot into water when done ?
Is there any means of estimating the quantity
of developer needed ? What is a simple method
of taking the curl out of the prints ?
J. C. (Manchester.)
We regret that we cannot see any
way of advising you helpfully on the
matter you raise. Anything like the
mass production methods you suggest
would probably result in very unsatis¬
factory prints. A firm doing mass
production work of the kind would make
the exposures on strips of bromide
paper by means of electric printing
machines. The strips would then be
run through successive tanks, and the
prints finally separated after being
dried and flattened in a special machine
used for the purpose.
Lettering Print.
I have a print intended for reproduction. Some
lettering is to go across it. .Should this be done
on the photograph, or on the half-tone block ?
M. H. (Anerley.)
The lettering must be done on the
print before the block is made.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private adver¬
tisers having goods for sale, offering to take such
goods in exchange for others, or to purchase for
cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

with a camera, ranging from
the ubiquitous box camera to the
ultra-expensive modern miniature.
Out they come on the beach, on the
road, in the camp — in fact, every¬
where where man spends his leisure
days. But, alas ! there will be many
disappointments among those
crowds, mostly for the lack of a little
precaution.
Troubles with New Apparatus.
Probably the first mistake that
most people make is to purchase a
new camera a few days before the
exodus to fresh surroundings. They
find themselves with a new instru¬
ment, and are under the impression
that all they have to do is to point
it at the chosen subject, press the
release, and a beautiful picture is
sure to result.
Afterwards they realise that they
forgot to set the aperture correctly ;
or they had the shutter set for
“ time ” when they took the snap¬
shot ; or they forgot to focus for
the close-up subject, having just
taken a distant view.
These are not aU beginners’ mis¬
takes ; quite old hands make them
under the stress of the holiday
fever. Such a simple precaution to
take, too — merely the purchasing of
the instrument a few days before
the time when it will be required,
and the exposure of a film or a few
plates, and these duly developed
and printed.
Care of the Camera.
Warnings galore have been given
about sand when taking the camera
to the seaside, warnings that stiU
pass unheeded, as any frequenter
of holiday resorts can verify. There
is such a great temptation to put
the camera down on the sand when
one is waiting for a swim, after
having exposed on the bathing
group. At all costs this should be
avoided. The box camera will soon
give evidence of this form of ill-
treatment by its shutter refusing
to work, while the more expensive
folding camera will get sand in aU
sorts of inconvenient places. Even
the compact miniature camera will

months.
be the worse for even a few particles
of sand.
Cases should be used religiously,
and carefully shaken out at the
end of each day, in order to remove
superfluous dust and sand. Also
the strap from which the case is
suspended should come in for atten¬
tion from time to time ; a most
unfortunate thing it is if the strap
should give out when clambering
up the cliffs or during like vigorous
pastimes.
The Holiday Spirit.
Care should also be taken that the
camera does not receive hard knocks
on these expeditions ; such an occur¬
rence may easily ruin the instrument
for the rest of the holiday, and leave
the owner faced with a bill for
repairs at the end.
Photographs from boats are very
fascinating, and many holiday¬
makers wiU certainly wish to get
pictures of graceful yachts skimming
over the water as they pass their
own craft.
It is a very simple matter to drop
a camera overboard while attempt¬
ing this branch of photography,
since the photographer wiU have his
whole attention on his subject, and
a lurch of the vessel upon which
he is travelling may cause him to
loosen his hold on the instrument.
It is a wise precaution, therefore,
to have a sling of some sort round
the neck or shoulders as a preventive
of this distressing accident. The
new ever-ready case is a very useful
adjunct in this respect.
Sunshine is an excellent thing for
the holiday-maker, but it does not
improve cameras, especially those
with wooden bodies, to be left
exposed to it for long periods. The
heat is liable to warp the camera*
body, and also to perish the leather
bellows, if any. This precaution is
again covered by always keeping the
camera in its case when not in use.
Pictorial Work.
Some photographers go on holiday
with the avowed intention of only tak¬
ing “pictorial” subjects. This is a
very nice ideal, but they lose a lot
of fun, and often a lot of possible
pictures, by being sparing with their
exposures. This kind of enthusiast
is so anxiously on the look-out for
real “ pictorialism ” that he fails to
take half the things which have
possibilities as pictures, and at the
end of his holiday has nothing to
which he can turn as mementoes of
his visit to the particular resort
he favoured.
There is no doubt that the beauty
of holiday photographs lies in their
multifarious records of different
things seen and done — oddities, pic¬
turesque corners, unusual humans,
friends in unaccustomed costumes.
None of these should be neglected,
even if it seems a rather extravagant
use of sensitive material.
Materials.
Holiday time is the time to be
really reckless in your use of
negative material, always remem¬
bering, of course, to aim at getting
a decent exposure. Odd corners
of these pictures may be made to
grace the exhibition walls in the
future, even though they seem
12
50

merely records at the time of
exposure.
“ Use the films or plates you always
use at home” is a precaution con¬
stantly reiterated in these pages.
If you are likely to be in places
where these are unobtainable it is
wise to take a stock with you. But
the astute amateur will become
accustomed to a well-known stan¬
dard m^ke at home before he goes,
and thus the problem is auto¬
matically solvfed.
“Keep your camera always with
you ” is another wise precaution.
It is sometimes left at home when
stremxous games or climbing is the
order of the day ; but, as a matter of
fact, those are just the times when
it is most needed, so it should be
strapped securely on the shoulder;
and the slight extra weight carried,
especially in the case of the minia¬
ture camera, will hardly be noticed.
The packing of exposed plates or
films until the return home is a
much neglected business. Spools
are simply put into suit-cases loose,
and allowed to get thrown about
with clothes. Plates are placed in
plate-boxes without being firmly
fastened down with adhesive tape
and properly marked, and the
erring photographer, when he finds
his films marked or his plates fogged,
blames everyone but himself for
his troubles.
Thus it will be seen that a few
simple precautions may save many
disappointments, and the trouble
taken will be amply repaid by the
pleasure experienced in looking
through the holiday photographs in
the long winter evenings.

Summer Skies.
During the duller months of the year 1 often get quite satis¬
factory skies in my prints, but at this time of the year I am often
unsuccessful, especially when the sky is largely blue. Is it
really necessary to use filters ? What do you advise ? I am
not an " advanced worker." E. S. T. (Norwich.)
Even if you are not an advanced worker there is no reason
why you should not make every effort to secure good tones
in your prints, in the sky and elsewhere. The reason why
your winter skies are better is that they are so often tones of
grey of varying depth ; while in summer it is a case of render¬
ing blues in appropriate tones.
The cloud effect shown in the illustration was taken towards
sunset on a June evening. It was sufficiently strong in con¬
trasts of light and shade to come out very well on ordinary
orthochromatic film without a filter. In fact, similar effects
were recorded years ago on ordinary plates, but the exposure
was generally cut down to a minimum, with the result that
the landscape, if included, was badly under-exposed.
Plates, films and filters.
Modern orthochromatic plates, and all films, do this sort
of thing much better, and the exposure may safely be fuller.
It is a different problem, however, when there is blue in the
sky ; and it must be remembered that however light the blue
it must not be (mis) represented in the print by blank paper.
In a black-and-white print, light blue must be represented
by a light grey, and a darker blue by a darker grey. It is to
cut out some of the over-active blue rays that a yellow filter
is used. Even a pale one, which necessitates very little extra
exposure, will help ; a very deep yellow filter, and still more a
red one, may make the blues come out darker than they should.
This is called " over-correction,” and although valuable in
certain kinds of record work is not advisable for pictorial
purposes.
We certainly advise you to have a light or medium filter,
both if possible, available for slipping on to the lens, and to use
one whenever you are including blue sky. You must also
avoid over-development of the negative. An efficient lens-
hood is also helpful.

Thousands of photographs that are taken at the seaside
by holiday-makers are merely snaps of family groups
stiffly posed on the shore, or of children squatting awk¬
wardly in front of sand castles.
As mementoes of happy times spent near the sea, pictures of this
type are undoubtedly interesting to members of the party who have
assisted in their creation, but they generally lack that wider appeal
which is the hall-mark of a good holiday photograph.
Now there is no reason why the amateur’s snap album should be
filled with prints that interest nobody outside the family circle. One

line at right angles to the axis of the

these are subjects demanding the
use of a large-aperture lens and a
very high shutter speed.

action pictures which may be se¬
cured with the modest instrument if
certain instructions are faithfully
followed. The gentler actions inci¬

of the best ways of making our beach snapshots infinitely
more interesting both to ourselves and to others who
chance to see them is by photographing figures actively
employed. And, at this time of the year, there is no
better place for taking such photographs than on the
shore at our holiday resorts. The light is at its best and
the assistance of suitable models is easily obtainable.
It may be argued that the photography of rapidly-
moving figures is beyond the scope of the popular-priced
camera, such as the majority of amateurs use during the
summer vacation. This is true only in special circum¬
stances, and as these notes are being written with a view
to helping those whose equipment consists of a humble
box camera, it will be shown how they may successfully
cope with subjects in which there is considerable motion.

moving figure is either approaching the camera or
receding from it along a line parallel with the lens axis.
And the nearer this line is to the lens axis the better.
In the case of leap-frog, high jumping, etc., the ex¬
posure must be made when the figure is at its highest
point above the ground, for it is then that the image
on the film is almost stationary, and can therefore be
recorded successfully even with a comparatively slow
shutter speed.
It is advisable to use a direct-vision view-finder.
The figure must, of course, be in focus when the shutter
is released, a condition easily fulfilled if the exposure
is made when the moving object is just over a previously
selected spot on the ground, and if the scale is set for
the necessary distance.
That failures will attend some of our efforts is certain,
but a few really successful pictures should be the result
of a day’s work on the sands. Besides, the photography
of figures in action is a much more exciting pastime than
the haphazard snapping of inert family groups.

the evenings, with a fancy dress ball as
the star attraction. For those who prefer
a good game, there is the mock race
meeting held in the ship’s lounge.
How charming these voyages are.
All around are the sights and sounds of
warm lands, the tang of the sea and the
endless sunshine. The fun on board is
worth the voyage, but cannot be com¬
pared to the first thrill of sighting foreign
lands.
On most cruises trips to the various
places of interest are organised at each
port of call, and at these points the
photographer should be ready for even¬
tualities with plenty of “ ammunition.”
It is impossible to foresee what subjects
will crop up, and this is part of the
fun.
A Popular Cruise.
A trip to Portugal and the Canary
Islands provides an abundance of op¬
portunity for those who are interested in
either people or scenery, and when one
is not basking in the sunshine there are
some mo^t fascinating places to visit.
As the ship approaches Lisbon the
scenic beauty is so remarkably fresh
that one’s finger itches to release the
camera shutter. The wise man bides
his time, and selects suitable oppor¬
tunities. Here and there the ruins of a
Moorish Fort can be seen, and farther
back on the hillside the golden dome
of the Pena Palace at Cintra glints in
the early morning sunshine. Lisbon,
as viewed from the sea, is an entrancing
sight, and looks almost like Torquay,
except that the houses are white or blue,
with roofs of a glowing red.
Madeira can be described as a jewel
surrounded by the clearest sea it is
possible to imagine, in which can be seen
the flickering fish in the depths below.
The sea provides the native boys with
an opportunity to display their diving
capabilities.
In Las Palmas, the chief industry
appears to be the selling of shawls,
embroidered table linen and other
oddments. A trip to " Monte,” the
favourite summer resort of the residents,
is imperative, and Atalaya, the home of
the cave-dwellers, offers fine possibilities
to the owner of a camera.
After taking endless snapshots we
say good-bye to these wonderful and
enchanting islands, their flowers and
sunshine, their blue waters and their
smiling brown people ; the ship swings
round, and our course is set for home.
The last happy hours are spent in lazing
in the sunshine or taking part in the
numerous tournaments, and so the
cruise ends ; but we have still our
photographic album to revive the happy

memories of an interesting and unique
experience.
Apart from the opportunity that a
cruise offers for securing pictorial photo¬
graphs of foreign places that might not
otherwise be visited, the snapshots of a
more personal character taken on the
ship itself will probably provide as
much interest at a later period as the
pictures taken on shore. They are
subjects also that can be successfully
undertaken with practically any type
of hand camera from the cheapest to
the most expensive. On most of the
cruising ships supplies of materials and
a dark-room are always available.

A NYONE who has spent his holiday
touring in a canoe will never
want to try any other way of
doing so again. The vogue has spread
from Germany, where it has been very
popular for some time, and many people
in England have now taken it up,
The keen photographer will find that it
is ideal.
There are certain practical considera¬
tions, however, which it is essential to
bear in mind if the holiday is to be a
success from the photographic point
of view.
First, the choice of apparatus and
materials. The less these weigh and
the less space they take up the better.
The modern miniature camera is the
ideal instrument for the purpose.
It is advisable also to take the follow¬
ing accessories : leather case, exposure
meter, lens hood and filter. The leather
case is essential to protect the camera
from being splashed by water and from
the rough usage it is likely to have.
The film used should be of the ortho-
chromatic or panchromatic variety.
It is often forgotten that a filter is of
no, use unless one of these types of
him is used in conjunction with it.
Panchromatic film is probably best, as
its sensitiveness to the reds as well as
the greens enables it to record the
beautiful sunset
effects seen by the
riverside.

you are used to. Those miniature
cameras which take thirty-six pictures
on a single spool are very useful in
this respect.
Finally comes the choice of subject.
If camping by the side of the river,
a splendid series of pictures can be
taken. The best results will be obtained
if the other members of the party are
shown busied about their appointed
tasks. The best time of day to choose
is the early morning or the evening,
when the shadows are longer and the
light softer. In the summer there is

and this is where
the delights of canoe
touring for the keen
photographer be¬
come apparent, as
the scene is con¬
stantly changing
while he paddles
downstream from
place to place. His
only difficulty is the
selection of the best
from a mass of rich
material. When pho¬
tographing from the
E.xposure should
present no diffi¬
culties, especially
if a meter is taken.
It will be found
that it is approxi¬
mately the same
by the water using
a filter as else¬
where without one.
But beware of the
beautiful, cool,
shady places by
the bank where
shelter is taken
from the storm or
a halt made for a
meal. A short
time exposure may
well be necessary for these, and if a
tripod has not been taken, the difficulty
can probably be surmounted by resting
the camera against a free or on some
temporary support. The greater difficulty
of taking such pictures will enhance
their value if successful.
Finally, remember that all the trouble
taken will be of no avail if the exposed
films are not carefully preserved until
development. They will suffer constant
packing and unpacking, and nothing
can be more maddening than to spoil
the record of a perfect holiday for want
of a little attention.
It is better to
buy sufficient film
for the whole holi¬
day before starting
on it, as there is
nothing more an¬
noying than being
caught short of film
and having to chase
around to find the

a pleasing picture, although an ad¬

The seaside photographer, having exhausted
somewhat the possibilities of the swimming-
pool and the beach, will find some refreshing
photography on the fish quay, if there is one
in the neighbourhood of the resort chosen for the holi¬
days. Many of the well-known centres for holiday¬
making around our coast will provide this subject in one
form or another, and it is an ideal one for the camera.
Most of the work involves early rising, but what is
that to the keen amateur ? It may also involve a corre¬
sponding difficulty with exposures at an early hour, but
in turn offers unique possibilities to the picture-maker,
with the sun low and the rather unusual lighting.
In some of the smaller ports, the state of the tide
determines when the datch shall be brought in, and if
you are lucky you may find the market in full activity
in mid-morning.
The type of vessel
varies with the locality,
but they wiU all make

trawlers of the east coast,
the small brown-sailed
luggers of Devon, and the
still smaller motor-driven
smacks of Cornwall.
The fish are spread out
on the quay, graded ac¬
cording to species and
size, and the auctioneers
and buyers move from
place to place. It is some¬
what difficult to compose
pictures with so many
figures in movement, and

having done their bit, may be sitting about their boats
or doing odd jobs, and a general view of the boats on
the quayside may make a good subject. A little
patience here may be rewarded ; small boats are con¬
tinually moving about, and by waiting a few minutes
one may just come into position so as to turn a mediocre
picture into a nice composition.
As an alternative to the usual seaside work, this
subject will be productive of many attractive pictures. N o
special apparatus is needed — the camera that the ama¬
teur is used to for other snapshots will serve equally
well for the fish quay.

little titbit of offal that may be thrown aside. In
some places they are so impudent as to be almost a
nuisance to the workers. Use the highest shutter
speed possible for the birds, and make lots of exposures,

SNAPSHOTS AFLOAT.
Most of us who use a camera find ourselves, at
times, “ aboard the lugger,” and there is always
a certain novelty and excitement about photo¬
graphing in such circumstances. In many ways it is
different from snapshotting ashore.
The “lugger” may be anything from a row-boat to
a liner. T have taken many photographs from a sea¬
going tug, in the lower reaches of the Thames and out
into the North Sea ; and even from ferry-boats plying
across the Thames, the Mersey, and elsewhere. In a
small boat there are special difficulties ; the viewpoint is
too low for many subjects ; the nearer water included
is too near ; and in anything like a sea the movement
of the boat is so excessive that it is difficult to stand
steadily and safely, and horizon lines come out with
impossible slopes. The lower or the upper deck of a
passenger steamer is better ; the upper deck for prefer¬
ence, as there are less likely to be awkward obstructions.
A river trip often provides a good harvest. I could
show, for example, a series of shots giving, in the mass,
a capital panoramic rendering of the banks of the Rhine
from Bonn to Mayence ; the Moselle is, I think, even
better ; and the Seine, from its mouth to Rouen, yields
much of interest and beauty. Even some of our own
smaller streams, like the Dart and the Fal, are full of
charm.
In wide estuaries, and out at sea, possible subjects
present themselves at longer intervals. Here much
depends on sky effects. A cloudless sky, when we are
on the water, is a misfortune from the photographic
point of view. We have to depend a good deal on
sheer luck for the chance of coming within shooting
distance of. interesting craft — fishing-boats, yachts,
liners, fine Thames barges, and the all too rare joy of
a “ windjammer.” It is not only a question of distance,
but of lighting and viewpoint.
On the water, distances are deceptive. We are very
liable to under-estimate distance, and to exaggerate
size. The view-finder would help us if we allowed it to
have its own way, but we mentally disbelieve it ; and
we find afterwards that the passing vessel, which we
know to be so large, and which the finder insisted was
so small, appears in the
negative more insignificant
than we were prepared to
believe. We have to resort
to abnormal enlargement to
make anything of it at all.
Very often, though, it is
wise to rely on this sub¬
sequent enlargement rather
than miss a good thing.
Instead of drawing on a
miscellaneous collection of
“ afloat ” subjects I have
chosen half a dozen simple
ones from about three times
the number taken on a
single trip from Portsmouth
to Southampton and back.
They are aU the sort of
thing that the beginner
can pick up with the sim¬

got two or three shots, under a cloudy sky, of a race
between Endeavour and V elslieda. These and several
others are very good, but do not lend themselves to
reproduction on a small scale. This applies particularly
to the best shot of the day — a picture of a graceful yacht
almost becalmed, and only to be rendered as a delicate
high-key subject.
The yacht under slight sail, shown twice in Fig. i, I
took three times — once when overhauling it, as in the
upright print ; once when abreast of the bows ; and
again after passing it. The version showing the bows
also includes a distant view of Netley Hospital, very clear
and sharp in the original.
On an art page is a sort of holiday record of part of
the crowd in the bows of the steamer, admiring Astra
as she passed leisurely by — a thing of beauty to which no
monochrome rendering can do full justice.
Fig. 2 shows a couple of liners. The upper one is the
Arundel Castle, in mauve and white, with tugs standing
by ready to haul her out. The lower one is the Berengaria,
with her long black hull, only faintly suggesting her
52,000 tons, and beginning to look old-fashioned. 1
also got a record of the snowy majesty of the Mauretania
and the Empress of Britain — not a bad bag for a single
afternoon.
All these photographs, and all the others 1 took on the
same short holiday — including some Winchester in¬
teriors — -were made with a 3-2'X2| folding camera, with a
Zeiss f/4.5 lens, and on Verichrome film packs. For
many exposures I used a yellow filter, or I could not have
done much with white sails against a blue sky, and still
less with the light clouds that appear quite naturally
in some of the prints.
The light is so strong in such circumstances that it is
quite safe to use a filter which about doubles the exposure
time. It makes a great difference even on ordinary film.
StiU more difference would be made by a deeper filter
with iiltra-rapid panchromatic film, but I doubt if the
beginner would be wise in going as far as this unless
he has gained experience by previous experiments.
As to shutter speed I would suggest one-hundredth
Fig. 2.-
of a second if it can possibly be given. Movement may
be very rapid, especially when vessels are passing in
opposite directions at close quarters. There is also
the vibration from the engines, and the difficulty of
standing quite steady when making an exposure.
Many shots, too, have to be UteraUy of the “ snap ”
kind, and very often the most rapid action is necessary
if a subject is not to be lost altogether. W. L. F. W.

CROSBY.
Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
I PHOTOGRAPH everything that looks worth trying.
This means, of course, that a good many attempts
turn out failures, while some of them (where circum¬
stances permit) have to be retaken two or three times
before the result is worth looking at ; but I consider it
always worth while having a shot at what seems to offer
possibilities. When in doubt, I take it !
“If I tend to specialise it is in night photography,
mountains with cloud, and close-up (table-top) work,
treated where possible in what is designated the ‘ Modernist ’
Sentinel.
style, i.e., with strong lighting, acute perspective, plenty of
three-dimensional depth, and ruthless trimming of non-
essentials. Pastoral subjects do not appeal to me, nor
do delicate or high-key effects. Straight lines I find more
interesting than curves ; stone and metal more attractive
(photographically) than vegetation.
“ All my enlargements go up on the South Essex? Club
.screen for criticism (which they most certainly get), and
the comments received are decidedly helpful, as are also
the study and attempted ' pulling to pieces ’ of other
members’ prints. Nevertheless, I try not to be unduly
influenced by the suggestions made regarding my choice
of subject and treatment, as unless one’s 'work is truly
personal there is little justification for it at all. My photo¬
graphs are, of course, produced primarily to please myself ;
if, however, they please other people (including exhibition
selectors and competition editors) so much the better.
All the pictures, at any rate, are intended to conform more
or less to the accepted basic standards of design and com¬
position.
“1 do not attempt consciously to achieve results that
are ' beautiful,’ whereas ornamentation and prettiness I
most definitely avoid — in all things. What I aim at is
strength in design, and a certain definite interest
(human or ' inhuman ’ ; concrete or abstract).
“ The camera is a quarter-plate ‘ Speed Cameo,’
with Ross f/-P5, double extension, and direct-vision
wire finder, the outdoor exposures being made nearly
always from eye-level. The subjects are roughly
‘ squared-up ’ in the frame, allowing where possible
a margin for safety, and the final composition
adjusted when enlarging. Quick unfixed contact
prints are a great help in deciding what’s wanted
and what’s not.
“ h'or indoor work 1 prefer Soft-gradation pan¬
chromatic plates ; outdoors I use (for convenience)
orthochromatic pack film, usually with sky filter
pushed well down. Development is by inspection
for ortho ; by time and temperature for pan¬
chromatic ; the time being varied according to the
nature of the subject. ‘ Plucky ’ negatives are
preferred.
“ Enlargements are vertically projected upon
Kodak Royal, cream base, amidol developed. Dry¬
mounting always — with flat-iron.
" I am no ' purist ’ : 1 put as much auxiliary and
after-work into the prints as I find necessary (or
possible), spotting and toning-down here and there
with oil pigment (always) ; shading and spot-
G. Crosby. lighting while printing (usually) ; combination
printing of clouds, etc. (frequently). Occasionally,
in cases where a good deal of hand-work appears to be
necessary, I make a 12 by 10 in. paper negative and have a
thoroughly good time.
“ ‘ Man looks into Space ’ is, I regret to say, a com¬
bination print, the clouds being on a separate negative.
The ' regret ’ is quite genuine ; I would far rather have got
the whole thing in one go, but you can’t keep a mountain¬
eering party waiting until the right clouds roll up into the
right position — particularly if the party doesn’t know it is
being photographed. The clouds, however, were taken
soon afterwards, and specifically for the picture (although
this does not necessarily mean that they won't be used
elsewhere later on).’’

Summer Landscapes
The above illustration is intended as a hint that
this is a first-rate time of year for getting
pictures of the countryside. It was not taken
under ideal conditions, being in fact a snapshot from the
top of a motor-bus just pulling up at this particular
spot. Its main attraction lies in the sky — typical of
the sort of thing often seen towards the end of a showery
or stormy day,
At the Royal Photographic Society’s rooms there is
on view during the present month a collection of prints
by an early worker at photography — Roger Fenton.
These prints are made on albumen paper from 15 X 12 in.
wet-plate negatives. All the upper corners are rounded
to hide the dark patches where the lens .did not cover the
plate, and there is not a single good sky in the whole
collection. Most of the skies are blank paper.
To-day we can photograph a landscape with the
simplest of cameras, and the negative will be covered
perfectly, even at apertures that were unknown to the
early workers ; and if there are strongly marked clouds
they will appear more or less satisfactorily in the
print if we choose a paper to suit the negative.
But we can improve on this. We can render the sky
much better by using a filter on the lens, and we can get
truer colour values everywhere, especially if we resort
to panchromatic plates or films.
We do not work, in the ordinary way, from moving
vehicles. We want time to examine our subject, and
to make the best arrangement of it ; and then we shall
probably have to wait till the sky is at its best before
we actually expose. The best course is to expose fuUy
enough for the landscape itself, and then to be on our
guard when developing, so as to stop as soon as the
landscape detail is out. This wiU avoid getting the sky
too dense. The above print is a perfectly straight one
on normal bromide paper. L. F.

Picture - making by the Cyclist - Photographer.
^/olidays Awheel
with a Camera
A novel viewpoint.
The amateur photographer who spends his — or her —
holiday awheel is assured of a host of opportunities for
picture-making. The leisurely speed of the cyclist
enables him to secure with his camera many gems that the
ordinary tourist would pass unnoticed, and he can reach and
photograph remote beauty-spots that would be inaccessible
to other wheeled traffic. Travel costs him practically nothing.
The sunlit village street.
By N. B. DENMAN.
The photographer has three ways of spending a cycling
holiday : by daily rides from home, by daily rides from a
distant centre, or by a tour.
The first plan will appeal to him if he has only recently
combined photography and cycling, and therefore has not
exhausted the pictorial possibilities of his own district. The
dark-room and all his apparatus are near at hand ; developing
and printing can be carried out immediately if desired ; and
Evening light.
subjects can be revisited in event of failure, or to obtain better
lighting or other conditions.
Similar advantages fall to the camera cyclist who selects
a promising district and explores it from one centre ; for
the photographer who specialises this is the ideal holiday.
But variety is sought by most of us, and in this case a cycle
tour should be selected, for constant travel introduces a wider
range of subjects than any other type of holiday. Further¬
more, the cyclist is not then restricted as to destination, being
left free to regulate his daily mileage.
The type of camera to use and how to carry it when cycling
will have been settled from week-end experience, and previous
advice in The Amateur Photographer . Films are much more
convenient for touring than plates.
In addition to the usual holiday subjects the cyclist-photo¬
grapher should .endeavour to record the many interesting
and often humorous incidents that arise, aiming at photographs
with a definite motif rather than those in which cyclists are
introduced merely to provide human interest.

Although a very nice degree of
judgment seems to have been
exercised in arranging for the
boat to be included without any
cutting off — despite the small margin
available — the drawbacks associated
with a viewpoint that is too near are
patent in No. i of the prints repro¬
duced on the opposite page, " The
Ferry,” by W. M. Kerr.
Subject and Setting.
With the subject taking up so much
of the space, the setting seems in¬
adequate, and the picture conveys the
impression of being overcrowded.
Actually it is not so much over¬
crowded as including its subject on
too large a scale, for the material,
except for the number of figures in
the boat, could scarcely be reduced.
The only practical way in which the
defect could be corrected is the choice
of a more distant viewpoint, and,
while it is realised that chance is a
predominating factor where moving
objects are concerned, the period of
waiting for the boat to come into
position might have been employed
in the selection of a standpoint suffi¬
ciently distant to give a greater pro¬
portion to the setting.
Presumably, such a procedure would
not involve any undesirable inclusions
in view of the fact that the setting
consists solely of water, but, if it
would, the suggested rearrangement
would scarcely be practicable, and
there would, apparently, be no alter¬
native to the existing lay-out.
There is no doubt, however, despite
the good features now exhibited, that
the revision would afford a not in¬
considerable improvement, and, as
the subject — or something of very
similar character — is likely to be
encountered by many of us during the
forthcoming holiday season, the point
regarding the relative proportions of
subject and setting is emphasised and
should be kept in mind.
Relative Proportions.
With No. 5, " Cornish Fishing Vil¬
lage,” by L. A. G. Friend, there is
something of a similar suggestion,
though not by any means so pro¬
nounced, arising from the scale in
which the fishing boats are shown.
The angle at which they are seen
and their relation to the setting is
excellent, but their scale makes them
seem just a bit over-emphatic, and, if
it were possible for a viewpoint a little
farther off to be adopted, it would be
as well if it were chosen. '
It is the foreground, more particu¬
larly, that should be len^hened,
and if three-eighths of an inch were
added to it, the whole thing would
make up better. The addition of a
quarter of an inch to the right-hand
side would also aid matters appreciably,
and, while by no means essential, -a
somewhat slighter extension on the
opposite side would do no harm.
On the other hand, it may be that the
negative already includes these extra
elements, and, if so, they might be
included in another print ; but, however
obtained, the additional proportion
allocated to the setting would afford a
better composition and would also give
a greater iirominence to the reflections.
These latter are a feature that can
be exploited almost without limit,
and in the harbour in question — the
place is Polperro — they often attain a
brilliance a-nd variety that few other
places can excel, particularly at the
turn of high tide.
Sunlight and Reflections.
To some extent this may be
attributable to the fact that the
harbour is almost surrounded by
cottages and buildings of very different
tones and textures and presenting all
sorts of angles to the line of sight.
That it is also well protected from the
wind and is almost totally enclosed
are also factors which play their part,
and, given sunshine, the possibilities for
picture-making are well-nigh limitless.
Another small seaport, in which
opportunities are not inconsiderable, is
Staithes, which is not far from Whitby
on the Yorkshire coast. An illustra¬
tion of the kind of thing that can be
obtained is to be seen in No. 3,
" Staithes,” by John Taylor, which,
if it has not quite the same attraction
as No. 5, yet has its points, and, at
any rate, does not exhibit the same
tendency towards over-emphasis.
The latter scores, mainly, on account
of its exclusion of the 'sky, which, in
the former, is baldheaded and blank.
The water, consequently, cannot show
71
the same variety, for it can only
reflect what is actually there. With a
suitable degree of tone in the sky,
the rendering of the subject would be
improved, but, from the standpoint
adopted, it would be scarcely possible
to secure reflections of equal interest.
Seasonable Scenes.
The arrangement of the composition,
as far as line and mass are concerned,
conveys a favourable impression, and
these subjects give some idea of what
may be attempted and obtained during
the present summer holiday season.
No. 2, ” Barge Cornin’,” by L. H.
Oakley, illustrates the sort of thing
that can be treated in the neighbour¬
hood of a canal or stream, but, here
again, the sky proved rather a draw¬
back, to say nothing of the obvious
departure from truth of the vertical
lines. The same fault is to be seen
in No. 4, “ Summer Afternoon,” by
S. Baker, and the nature of the sub¬
ject, broken up as it is into so many
small masses, causes the arrangement
to seem incomplete and chaotic.
It is doubtful if anything could be
done to pull it together, that is,
without a vital revision of lighting,
viewpoint, and subject material, and
this would mean making a different
thing altogether. The figure, never¬
theless, is appropriate enough and
stands out quite well, having regard
to the character of the setting, but,
while he has been well caught, this
in itself is scarcely sufficient to make a
picture.
Vital Interest.
In a different setting, such a figure
might provide just that touch of
vital interest that gives a real pictorial
feehng ; and, in a somewhat similar way.
No. 6, " Flowing Tide,” by H. Bailes,
appears to fail in its intention, primarily
because the breaking wave does not
seem to be shown just at that moment
when its force is at its greatest, but
when it is almost spent.
If it did happen to display the wave
at the moment of breaking, and when
the splash of its foam were at its
highest, the impression would be
entirely different, but, unfortunately,
the chance has been missed, and the
picture does not succeed in reaching
the standard of achievement it might.

Some Notes on the Pictures reproduced in this issue.
This study in " Black and
White,” by the Swedish artist,
Jan de Meyere, occasioned
considerable favourable comment at
last year’s London Salon of Photo¬
graphy, partly on account of its strong
contrast of tone, and partly because
of its delicacy of key, the welding to¬
gether of the two almost incompatible
elements producing an unusual effect
and one that was most intriguing.
The key, on the whole, is high, and
except for the very strong notes of
dark tone, scarcely goes deeper than
the merest hint. The darks in
question, therefore, tell with extra¬
ordinary force, and give an impression
of vigour and strength that has seldom
been hitherto attained.
Key and Contrast.
In the usual run of work in a high
key, the deepest tone is but a medium
grey, and it is very rare indeed to see
a real dark included. The restriction
of the tone values to the upper part
of the scale is obtained, in the first
place, by arranging for the subject to
consist only of light tones and to be
illuminated by a flat or frontal
lighting, and, in the second, by cut
ting down the development time of
the negative so that its contrasts are
reduced to the desired degree.
Here, the same sort of lighting is
employed, but there is the difference
that tones of considerable depth, if
Hmited in area, are allowed in the
subject material. Moreover, it would
seem that development of the nega¬
tive, instead of being curtailed, is
permitted to proceed for the normal
time, or, possibly, somewhat farther,
the negative in question being printed
upon ^a paper of a considerably long
range. By this means, the subtle
distinctions of the lighter tones would
be retained and the darks would keep
their strength without loss of grada¬
tion or quality. On the other hand,
it is possible that a similar effect
might be produced by developing the
negative to less than normal contrast
and the choice of a printing paper of
a vigorous character or of a short
range, though the former procedure
seems to be the more probable.
At all events, the effect is particu¬
larly striking, and, while the contrasts
are indubitably forceful, there is no
suggestion of harshness, but, on the
contrary, the impression the picture
conveys is one of harmonious strength.
Turning to ‘‘ A Dramatic Moment,”
by Norman Crawshaw, a very dif¬
ferent arrangement of the chiaroscuro
is presented. In place of strong con¬
trast, the tones of the picture, viewed
generally, are soft and more or less
even, while they are, at the same time,
appreciably deeper in the average
than those in the picture previously
discussed. Yet there is no tone quite
so dark as the isolated elements of
deep tone in the other, and the only
light, which approaches anywhere
near the former’s key, is that on the
child in the foreground towards the
centre (i).
The subject tones, nevertheless,
present an equal suggestion of har¬
mony, but the strength is lacking.
It would, however, be somewhat in¬
appropriate in view of the character
of the subject, and any greater vigour
would impair the existing feeling of
harmony. There is a strong proba¬
bility, also, that were the range at all
extended there would not be the
same distinction between the figure in
light and those which form her setting,
for the lighter tones therein would
inevitably be brought nearer her key.
Isolation and Unity.
At present, she remains the only
light item in an area of half-tone, but,
if the lighter tones in the half-tone
background were at all brighter, a
sense of competition would be intro¬
duced and her isolation imperilled.
It is her isolation that enables the
dominance necessary for her position
as chief item to be established. It is
aided by her brilliance of tone and by
her position in the picture space, which,
as it falls across one of an intersection
of thirds, is strong and forceful.
With that dominance established,
the unity of the whole follows as a
corollary, particularly as the half¬
tone elsewhere prevents the intro¬
duction of any note of competition.
It might, perhaps, not be wise to
inquire too closely into the methods
by which the figure in question has
been brought into such prominence,
but it may be mentioned that it
could scarcely be carried farther
without inviting a suspicion of un-
naturalness ; but, in other respects,
the work is sound and interesting.
With so many figures, it is remarkable
how few exhibit a knowledge of the
presence of the camera, and, as far
as the bulk are concerned, they are
shown intent upon the performance,
a state of affairs that indicates an
excellent judgment for the time of
exposure and a not inconsiderable
achievement.
These difficulties, to a large extent,
are eliminated when a single figure
comes to be dealt with, such as is
shown in ‘‘ The Shrimper,” by W. A.
Appleton, but, in consequence, a
higher standard is expected. That it is
attained, as far as camera conscious¬
ness is concerned, is apparent from a
30

glance, and the figure, as may be
seen, is exceptionally well caught. ■
The pose is very graceful, and, with
the exception of just one feature, is
well displayed against the setting.
That feature is the hat. It is quite a
minor detail, yet it could be wished
that its brightness, just at the brim,
came against a tone a shade or so
darker, whereas what has actually
happened is that the tones of back¬
ground and brim are practically the
same.
An Intractable Setting.
It is rather apparent that the set¬
ting is somewhat too forceful for the
figure it is supposed to display. Its
tones are too diverse and there should
not be quite so much contrast. But
that is how it was, and, as the pose
of the figure is the most important
thing, the amenability of the setting
must, of necessity, take a secondary
place. It either had to be taken as
it happened or left entirely, for, if
any attempt were made to show the
figure against a different background,
the probability is that her attention
would be attracted and the subject
spoilt by camera consciousness.
Though the dark of the rocks in
the distance is also too assertive, the
same objection does not lie, for it
helps to show off the top of the hat ;
but, if the tone of the rocks were
lighter and the sands on the near side
darker, the effect, as a whole, would
be preferable. The top of the hat
would still be noticeably the lighter,
but the brim below would come against
a tone a shade or so deeper, and
would not be so entirely lost.
In the lower portion, the arrange¬
ment and tone of the background is
about right, the figure being lost and
found against it to an acceptable
degree. The upper part might be
improved by judicious after-treat¬
ment, the tone of the rocks being
lightened by the application of one
of the appropriate dyes to the nega¬
tive, and the tone of the nearer
shore being darkened by oil reinforce¬
ment.
The work would have to be care¬
fully done so that it did not become
apparent, but the improvement that
would accrue would justify the trouble.
The subject is very promising and
worth the effort, and, moreover,
provides another instance of the type
of subject that may be essayed during
the present holiday and summer
season. ’ “Mentor.”

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CIN£ APPARATUS.
A Film of Yachting SIGURD MOIR.
$
Visitors to seaside and other resorts are now well catered for in the matter of picturesque yachting
fixtures. The following article shows how the subject can form the basis for a pleasing film —
individually treated and complete in itself.
During the coming months, yacht
racing and regatta events will
be scheduled with fair regular¬
ity in the tables of “ Action Subjects
for the Amateur Cinematographer.”
Happily, the season for these events
coincides with the annual exodus to
seaside places — so that it should be
no difficult matter for the practical
enthusiast to select a convenient local
fixture and to return with sufficient
material to assemble into at least one
film of this particularly colourful
subject.
Yachting is indeed an ideal subject
for the action-loving cinematographer.
To begin with, its highly-charged
action is of a kind most easily under¬
stood by non-appreciative audiences.
Then the subject is pictorial in the
extreme ; and this pictorialism can
be incorporated with great success as
an aid to cinematic composition.
Treatment.
Full satisfaction is hardly to be
achieved through casually filming a
number of attractive shots without
any preparatory treatment or planning.
Best results can be obtained only by
properly ordering the scenes and
sequences first on paper. The matter
is not nearly so difficult as it may
perhaps appear ; and, in any case,
it represents the only way in which a
comprehensive, thoughtful plan can
be prepared.
If no previous knowledge of the
subject be possessed, it is recommended
that some few days be devoted to
studying the manner in which the
craft are handled and the somewhat
arbitrary technique of racing. For
the competitors themselves are not
concerned with the fact that you are
making a film. Thev are concerned
only with taking advantage of every
favourable sign that the elements hold
out to them. Wind and tide may offer
different though attractive advantages
to the yachtsmen ; and the art of
“ tacking ” can be filmed wdthout
setting up confusion only if the cine¬
matographer take extreme care to
make his work expressive.
Of course, it has to be decided
whether the film will be assembled as
a documentary of the various types of
racing craft or as a more ambitious
abstract. Treatment of the former
kind will probably attract the ma¬
jority of serious amateurs, though
— owing to the rich presence of chance
shots about which the worker may
have no actual foreknowledge — an
exceedingly good abstract may be
prepared around the subject by any
cinematographer possessed of vision
and imagination.
Shooting,
Actually, the orthodox arrange¬
ment of shots and sequences can be
adhered to in anj^ tvpe of yachting
film. Thus, the long shots of a given
scene should come first (this by way
of introduction and to consolidate
locational relationship!?) ; these should
be followed by the medium shots ; and,
finally, the close-ups should be inserted
to emphasise the ‘‘ high spots ” in
greater detail.
Wdiere the camera is fitted with a
full or partial rewind, it is by no
means a bad plan to soften the
‘‘ cutting ” by dissolving these intro¬
ductory shots one into the other.
The effect of this will be to create a
calm, tranquil atmosphere — which is
necessary to establish contrast with
the later action sequences ; howev'er,
this device must not be overworked,
le.st an opposite effect tends to nullifv
its force.
It is consistent with this plan of
shooting to introduce the smaller
craft into the earlier scenes and
gradually to approach a climax cen¬
tred about the larger, more impressive
When filming racing craft the inclusion of a yacht in the foreground adds variety
to the subject and gives a greater sense of stereoscopic effect and action.

vessels. Motor (canvas-less) craft are
not at all spectacular unless filmed
with great skill. Here especially
should the question of viewpoints be
carefully considered — though it is
understood that only a few alternatives
will be available during the actual
racing.
Care should also be taken to hold
the camera dead level. .Tn a beautiful
cinematic essay recently shown in
London, fine cutting and assembly
were accomjjanied by some wretchedly
tilted horizons. This sort of thing
is sufficient to spoil any film — for
which reason young readers should
pay careful heed to the plumb-line
or spirit-level.
Other Notes.
Telephoto lenses are emphatically
needed in the filming of those events
restricted to the larger and more
picturesque craft. These draw much
more water than the tiny yachts, and
there is a consequent necessity for
them to race farther off the land.
Occasionally, however, craft of quite
iHi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
^ 6 CIMEMATOQRAPHER e
moderate size find it of some advan¬
tage to come close ip to the shore,
and in such cases very large images
can be secured with ordinary lens
equipment.
Films oi holiday life on small
pleasure-yachts require, of course,
a special technique somewhat differ¬
ent from that adopted in dealing
with the subject under discussion.
However, quite pleasing results can
be obtained in connection with such
films ; though the problem of securing
them is matter for another story.
“Close-Up” Technique “ ACTINOGRAPHIST.”
The advantages of the "close-up”
are probably too well known to
warrant any further explanation.
They are obvious to the beginner
immediately he has examined his first
deliberate essay into their use. And the
seasoned expert makes use of them
because he knows that in no other way
can he create certain particular atmos¬
pheres, and in no other way can he
introduce those intimate glimpses which
make all the difference between stage-
play technique and the methods of
cinematography.
It is possible, too, to displace the
unsatisfactory long-shot with a number
of special close-ups. Chaplin, who is an
accomplished director as well as a
polished comedian, once built up a
cinema picture of a sleeping apartment
by showing first a hot-water jug and
shoes on the landing, then a half-open
drawer containing a gentleman’s collars
— followed by the corner of a bedstead,
a window (with a vista of chimney-pots
beyond), part of a sleeping-suit, and,
finally, the equipment of a dressing-
table. Since all these objects figured
prominently in the subsequent actions,
there is no doubt that this substitution of
close-ups for a single long-shot was a
master-stroke of direction.
Varieties of the Close-up.
The close-up can be further sub¬
divided into three distinct types of shot.
First there is the large close-up (some¬
times called the great close-up or
" large head ’’). Then there is the normal
close-up, an example of which is shown
in the accompanying illustration. The
third variation of this shot is very
frequently encountered, and is known
universally as the semi-close-up.
All these shots vary only a little in
the distance at which the subject is
arranged from the lens ; and any one
of them can, of course, be secured at a
number of different distances according
to the focal lengths of the lenses in use.
Technically, however, the term " large
close-up ’’ implies that the subject is
required to be rendered in greater detail
than is possible with the normal close-up.
Ordinary Close-ups.
Ordinary close-ups are encountered
most frequently of all. They form, in
fact, the real "intimate” technique' of
cinematography. It was this shot, in¬
cidentally, which enabled the cinema
to justify its existence as a means of
expression apart from the theatre.
In the ordinary close-up, no part of
the featured subject is cut off by the
framing. It is, therefore, in this shot
that most scope exists for pictorial
composition. The fact that action is at
a minimum in such cases ensures that
good composition, once arranged, will
not suffer immediate destruction through
appreciable movement.
The semi-close-up is best described as
a rather large type of medium shot.
Occasionally, it is referred to as the
" bust ” shot, and this is probably more
expressive of its nature than any other
description would be.
Occurrence.
Close-ups may occur when it is desired
to lay stress upon any particular object
or objects in production sequence.
They may also be used to introduce new
characters and other features.
In the former case, where it is desired
to stress any object, the object in question
must first be introduced by means of f
longer shot — say, a long-shot or a
medium-shot (or both), the screen size
of the object increasing with each
different shot until the emphasising
close-up is reached.
When introducing characters, how¬
ever, it is permissible to commence with
the close-up, provided the change to a
medium or action shot is made by a
continuity device (such as tracking the
camera backwards). This is usually a
difficult shot, because it involves simul¬
taneously changing the distance-setting
and aperture of the lens, filming
the action and operating the tracking
trolley or other moving base,
An alternative plan is to arrange for
the character to turn and walk away
from the camera.

OURING WITH CAR

and CAMERA
The motorist-photographer is in
the fortunate position to relive
his motoring holiday and bring
back to his own home the happy
memories of the countryside, quaint
old villages, etc., when he looks
through his album of photographs
taken during the tour. During the
next few months the highways and
byways will be explored by thousands
of motorists, and a motoring holiday
without a camera to capture the joys
of the open road, is like a fish without
water. Cameras of all descriptions,
from the humble but efficient box
type to the elaborate instruments with
lenses like saucers, are all capable of pro¬
ducing a record of your annual holiday.
It is unwise to take a new camera
on tour, as operating an instrument
with which you are unfamiliar will
often lead to unsuccessful results.
Likewise use your usual brand of
films or plates and take enough
to cover the whole of the tour. This
prevents the annoying situation of
running out of sensitive material at
some small village where supplies are
unobtainable.
Care of the camera during the tour
is of the utmost importance. How
often this delicate piece of mechanism
is thrown into the car at the last
minute and forgotten until some
attractive scene presents itself, with
the resulting negatives leaving much
to be desired through neglect.
The car floor and pockets are not
suitable places to carry the camera,
and should be avoided. Small par¬
ticles of dust or dirt have a nasty
habit of entering the instrument and
making their presence apparent on
the negative by scratches and spots.
Dust on the film rollers in the folding
cameras cause the “ tramline ” effect
often seen. The ideal place to carry
the camera is in a small box made
large enough to take the camera and
case and lined with sorbo rubber
■'Sponges, which may be purchased
cheaply at any of the sixpenny stores.
Carrying the Camera.
Modern cars, being well sprung,
cause little vibration, but when tour¬
ing the byways and rough side-roads,
a certain amount of vibration is
unavoidable, and the above method of
carrying the apparatus can be relied
upon. The writer has travelled 30,000
miles with a camera stored in the
car as described above without having
one single negative spoilt by dust
caused by vibration.
Roof nets are also good places to
avoid vibration, but attention must
be given to the weight of the camera
in relation to the strength of the net.
It will repay the holiday-maker to
carry the following in his kit ; a
strong tripod, exposure meter and a
flashlight outfit. It is surprising how
useful the latter will be found when
photographing in old buildings, etc.
Naturally, on the first day of the
tour everybody is in high spirits,
and very often one is tempted to
expose an undue amount of film or
plates. This should be avoided, re¬
membering that there is plenty of
time and subjects ahead.
Plate- Changing.
In the case of plate-users, hotel
bedrooms can be easily converted into
dark-rooms for the purpose of plate¬
changing. After dark, the slides can
be emptied and refilled under the
bedclothes, with the aid of an electric
torch fitted with a ruby glass. These
are obtainable at any good photo¬
graphic dealer advertising in this paper.
Those motorist-photographers who
prefer the open air and camp out may
use their saloon car as a dark-room
for plate-changing by hanging rugs
and coats, etc., over the windscreen
and windows and waiting until it is
dark. By working on the floor in
the rear of the car, and using the body
as an additional shield, no harm will
result and the plates can be changed
in safety. Panchromatic material
must, of course, be handled carefully.
One word of warning. Do not leave
your camera and films, etc., in the
car when garaging, so that mischievous
or inquisitive persons have access
and ruin your films by opening the
camera.
Subjects.
When on tour avoid hackneyed
subjects, try to find new viewpoints,
and, above all, avoid continuously
taking groups of the party and so
wasting film which would be of use
in the future. The car itself can often
be attractively placed in a scene an I
make a good picture. When visiting
the seaside, beware of putting the
camera on the sand. Sand will pla .■
havoc with the shutter and get into
the most unsuspected places.
.At the conclusion of the tour, the
motorist-photographer who does his
own developing and printing has still
a few more happy hours finishing the
results of his efforts. Only those who
have experienced it can appreciate
the thrill of seeing one’s negatives
coming up in the dish, and rushing out
of the dark-room announcing a suc¬
cessful conclusion to the greatest of
all holidays, touring with a car and
camera.

he GARDEN
in Summer-time
By A. CHAUNCEY.
Window Decoration.
Summer Hoses.
SOMEONE has said that
“ God gave us memory
that we might have
roses in December.” The
photographer who busies
himself in the summer,
whilst the gardens, fields
and hedges are at their
best, will also have flowers
in the winter-time.
The picturing of gardens
a.nd flowers is a most
attractive branch of ama¬
teur photography, and he
who pursues it will rarely
lack for a subject. To
take really good photo¬
graphs of gardens, how¬
ever, certain points must
be remembered, else the results will scarcely be what
were visualised. All too easily a flower-bed may present
a meaningless muddle of foliage !
As colour is lacking in a photograph, something else —
light, shade, and arrangement — must replace it, and the
early morning or the late afternoon offers the best light.
Do not attempt too much. Unless the garden is laid
out in a geometrical or very bold pattern, a general view
rarely wiU be so convincing as the picture of a pretty
or interesting detail. A border against a house, a door¬
way, seat or sundial, all lend themselves and add strength
and purpose to the flowers surrounding them. And
beware of the path ! It has a nasty tendency to appear
up the centre or horizontally across the picture, a tendency
which must be curbed. By moving a 'little to the right
or left a better arrangement can usually be found.
It is wise always to use a tripod or other firm rest
for the camera, for an exposure of perhaps a tenth of a
second or longer will be necessary to allow for stopping
down the lens to obtain the necessary depth of focus.
In a flower-bed we obtain a very wide range of colour,
and it must not be forgotten that unless panchromatic
material is used, reds and yellows, despite their bright¬
ness to the eye, will photograph nearly black. I always
use Kodak Panatomic film, and find it excellent for the
subject, especially when developed in fine-grain developer.
A green filter will further assure complete colour correction.
Wflld flowers should not
be neglected, for they make
as lovely pictures as the
aristocrats of the garden.
But beware of the snare
of colour when choosing
your subjects ! A tangled
mass of red campion, bril¬
liant as it may look in the
hedge, will probably not
appear so in your picture.
The same rules apply :
select a group of plants, or
some special arrangement
of them, lie down and
photograph them against
the sky, catch them stand¬
ing on a wall or at the base

etters to the Editor
The Editor is not responsible for
the opinions of his correspondents.
USING A TRIPOD.
Sir, — I was pleased to read (in " The A.P.” of July 4th, 1934)
Mr. Wastell’s advocacy of the tripod. In these days of hand
cameras and button-pressing it is very seldom that one comes
across an amateur using any kind of stand.
Mr. Wastell’s article referred, of course, to still photography,
but its appearance coincided with a time at which I had viewed
a number of amateur cin6 films on the screen, and wondered
whether the undoubted conveniences of clockwork-driven cin6
cameras were all to the good. In the early days of amateur
cinematography, when cameras were hand-turned, a tripod
was a sine qua non, and, provided it was a reasonably good
tripod, rock-steady pictures were the rule. To-day, probably
ninety per cent of amateur cine pictures betray the fact that
the camera was held " in the hand.”
Probably few amateurs, in the excitement of seeing a well-
exposed moving picture of their own making, realise the great
improvement brought about by a picture being rock-steady.
Quite often it is the only difference between the amateur’s
efforts and the quality seen at public cinemas. (I write, of
course, of the projection quality, and not necessarily of the
subject matter.)
On page 14 of my book, " Motion Pictures with the Baby
Cine,” I have made a plea for the use of a tripod whenever
possible. Really perfect motion pictures are hardly possible
without some sort of camera stand, and if the amateur finds
the ordinary tripod too much trouble, then, at any rate, there
can be no excuse for failing to use a unipod, which may be
extended to reach the ground or, in its telescoped condition,
may be inserted into a sling hung from the neck. I have
recently adopted a Roth Unipod, and find that I get perfectly
steady pictures with rather more freedom than a tripod affords.
Coming back to the question of still photography, a unipod
cannot, of course, be used for all the purposes mentioned by
Mr. Wastell, but it does enable some of the longer automatic
shutter speeds to be used which wOuld be hopeless if the camera
were held in the hand. — Yours, etc., HAROLD B. ABBOTT.
UNEVEN ILLUMINATION.
Sir, — In reference to the reply to E. L. in the last issue of
" The A.P.,” re uneven illumination with a condenserless
enlarger, I have found the following a satisfactory way of
overcoming the difficulty.
Take a piece of clear glass of suitable size and put a blob
of white oil paint in the centre ; this will occupy only a small
piece of the glass in the centre, but it must not be allowed to
dry with a hard-line round the edge. It should be given a
sort of vignette effect by means of a brush.
If this is placed near the source of light, the direct rays from
the light to the middle of the negative will be considerably
reduced, while the rays to the sides of the negative will be
untouched, and illumination will be evened up.
The piece of glass on which the white paint is put must
stretch from side to side of the lamp-house, as otherwise the
edge of the glass will show, and it must be supported (on wire
in my own case) near the source of light. — Yours, etc.,
H. WARWICK NEVILL.
CAMERA PRICES.
Sir, — I am renewing my discarded hobby of photography
after a lapse of some eighteen years, and have been studying
“ The A.P.” for the past four weeks with a view to buying an
up-to-date outfit.
I have in mind a certain Continental reflex of the twin-lens
type as being the most suitable camera for my requirements,
but not at its price of £22 los.
I notice several of this type advertised (all Continental), and
I am wondering where are the British efforts in this direction ?
Deduct the import duties, freight, etc., and the importers’
commission, and it appears to me that a home manufacturer
could produce such a camera to sell at £12. 15s., and still show
a good profit.
I, for one, am going to hold on with a modest los. model
until I can obtain value for the price charged and (if possible)
buy a British product. — -Yours, etc., H. S. HENLEY.
DISPENSING WITH THE NUMBER WINDOW.
Sir, — ^In connection with the complaints at present appearing
in your columns regarding the use of panchromatic film in roll-
film adapters, I also have been troubled with fog through this
cause. Last July I had a movable cover fitted, but this was
only a partial cure. Next I tried green material in place of
red in the window, when (as I might have expected) the figures
failed to show at all against the red film-backing paper. Ulti¬
mately I removed this and fitted darker red material for the
window, but this necessitates holding it so that the sun can
shine in to read the figures, so that it defeats its own object
and fog is still found. When on holiday last year, I was
driven to guessing the amount wound, overwinding for safety,
with considerable waste of film.
Personally, I see no reason why, with the collaboration of
film manufacturers, the red windows should not be dispensed
with altogether. Would it not be possible for the makers to
punch a small hole in the film at the end of each picture-space,
to engage in some mechanism in camera or roll-holder that
would produce an audible sound when enough had been
wound ? Some device with a spring could surely be arranged
so that the hole would engage a projection of some sort. This
could draw along a rod carrying a coil spring, and at a pre¬
arranged point a cam arrangement could push the projection
out of the hole again. In flying back to the original position
with the pull of the spring, a click would result, or a bell could
be rung, to indicate that sufficient film had been wound along.
My camera is a T.-P. 3 J X 2 J reflex — this being for the informa¬
tion of any manufacturer who puts such a roll-holder on the
market and wishes to present me with one in exchange for the
idea. — Yours, etc., “ OPTIMIST.”
“ SECRET MEDIUM.”
Sir, — In answering the query under the above heading in
“ The A.P.” of July 4th, I think that you will find that most
of the pencils used for colouring prints are of a waxy nature,
and the medium consists of a wax solvent and a fixative.
While special medium is sold for the purpose by Messrs.
A. W. Faber, an excellent medium consists of one part artists’
linseed oil, and one part petrol or benzol. — Yours, etc.,
H. H. GOODCHILD.
A STUDIO FOR FILMING.
Sir, — I was rather interested in an article, ” Finding a
Suitable Studio for Filming,” by Patrick Le Roi, in your
issue for 4th inst. I am sure he would be interested in our
studio at the Brondesbury Cine Society, 100, Chamberlayne
Road, Kensal Rise, N.W.io.
We have two large rooms, about 33 ft. by 23 ft., two social
rooms, a make-up room and central heating. One room we
use for a projecting theatre, seating about seventy people"
comfortably. We have an entrance in the main road, and
another at the back where large scenery up to 10 feet high can
be brought in. Buses Nos. 6, 46, 52 and 231 stop outside the
door, and the North London Railway Station, Kensal Rise,
is adjoining, and parking place for cars is provided.
In our studio we have a glass roof which gives us an oppor¬
tunity of shooting indoors in daylight at, f/2.5 ; our lighting
consists of five 500 incandescent, iG Nitraphots, two 30-amp.
arc lights, a bank of about twenty-five 100- watts, one 500 c.p.
spotlight, and one 2 k.w. spotlight incandescent. The lighting
was installed by Soho, Ltd., and Kandem Electrical, Ltd.
You will see from this description that the studio conforms
with Mr. Le Roi’s requirements. It is available for amateurs
any evening save Tuesday and Friday, and, being an enthusiast
myself, I should like to get into touch with people who are
really keen. — Yours, etc., B. LUDIN.

MEWS AND REVIEWS
^ ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS
Readers of The Amateur Photo¬
grapher have not been slow in taking
advantage of our Gift Offer of Photo¬
grams of the Year. The limited number
of copies of this annual which were
available were exhausted almost as
soon as the seventh coupon appeared,
and in cases where it has not been
possible to send a copy the money is
being returned. No further coupons
will appear.
Readers who wish to be certain of
securing a copy of the next edition of
Photograms of the Year, at the published
price, which will be issued in December
next, are advised to place their orders
either direct with the publishers of
The Amateur Photographer, bookseller
or dealer at the earliest possible date,
in order to avoid disappointment.
In addition to the Exhibition of Prize
Prints from The Amateur Photographer
Competitions, now open at the house of
the Royal Photographic Society, 35,
Russell Square, W.C.i, a smaller but
extremely interesting exhibition is also
to be seen in Room i, on the ground
floor. This consists of a series of old
prints by the late Roger Fenton, who
was the Society’s first secretary, a post
he relinquished in order to proceed to
the Crimea in 1854. The prints are
in excellent preservation and are of
considerable historical interest. Ad¬
mission to the exhibition is free.
The outing of the Midlands Counties
Photographic Federation was held on
the 23rd June to the Brand and Wood-
house Eaves district. The societies
represented were Birmingham, Walsall,
Coventry, Rugby, Hinckley, Derby,
Leicester, Nottingham and Lough¬
borough. About seventy members at¬
tended and the outing was a great
success. The arrangements were in the
hands of Mr. J. O. Wilkes and Mr. T. H.
Simpson, of the Loughborough Sbciety.
Negotiations have been entered into
for the exhibition of all South African
prints exhibited in the South African
Salon of Photography to be shown at
South Africa House, London, after
exhibition at Johannesburg. The South
African Salon is being organised by the
Johannesburg Photographic Society, and
will be held at the City Hall, Johannes¬
burg, from August 20th to 25th.
Gevaert, Ltd., of 115, Walmer Road,
North Kensington, London, W.io, have
just issued a new general catalogue of
the well-known Gevaert specialities.
Fifteen varieties of plates, nine varieties
of films and nine varieties of papers
(including the beautiful Gevaluxe Ve¬
lours) are listed, with descriptions and
prices. Particulars of cine film and
processing are also given. A copy of
the booklet will be sent free on request
to above address.
The Surrey Garden Village Trust, Ltd.,
are holding a Surrey Handicrafts
Exhibition from October i6th to 20th,
at Croydon. A photographic competition
is being organised in connection with this
exhibition and cash prizes will be
awarded. Further particulars can be
obtained from the Exhibition Office,
Eldon House, Wellesley Road, Croydon.
The closing date for the Photographic
Section of the Regent Exhibition has
been extended to August 31st. The
Exhibition, which will be held at Bush
House, Aldwych, October 6th to 13th,
is to illustrate " Advertising of to-day
and to-morrow,” and the photographs
are to be representative of " Happiness.”
Prizes of ten guineas, five guineas, and
five of one guinea are offered. Many
'' A-P.” readers will be interested in this
competition and exhibition, and should
apply for booklet and full particulars to
Mr. Philip Matthews, The Regent
Advertising Club, 19, Buckingham Street,
Adelphi, W.C.2.
A new book, entitled ‘‘Modern Minia¬
ture Cameras,” by Robert M. Fanstone,
has been published by Blackie cS: Son,
Ltd., 50, Old Bailey, E.C.4. Mr. Fan-
stone is a frequent contributor to "The
A.P.,” and his book tells in simple,
straightforward language what the pho¬
tographer wants to know about modern
miniature camera work — the various
types, films, exposure, processing, en¬
larging, etc. It is a useful volume for
the amateur to possess. The price is
3s. 6d.
The July "232” and " Sandom ”
Photographic Competition, the last of
the series, closes at the end of the month,
and readers who have not already
entered should do so without delay.
Substantial prizes are offered in Begin¬
ners’ and Advanced Workers’ Sections.
There are no entry fees. Full particulars
and Entry Forms are supplied free on
application to “ 232 ” Photographic
Competition, 38, Wood Street, London,
E.C.2.
As from July 9th, the Camera Co.
will be the name of the business hitherto
trading as the Camera & Gramophone
Co. Tire change of name is necessitated
by the cessation of all gramophone
business, and concentration solely upon
photographic and cine trade. The ad¬
dress of the Camera Co. will continue
to be 320, Vauxhall Bridge Road,
Victoria, S.W.i.
The Amateur Cine Service ask us
to announce that they have removed to
larger premises at 52, Widmore Road,
Bromley, Kent, to which all future
communications should be addressed.
They have, in their new showrooms, one
of the largest dealer displays of cine
apparatus in the country.

^Deader^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amaiexir Photographer
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,’* and in every case, without exception, must
pive the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwTiting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
.‘cgal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied, by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
;t without fee.
Enquiries anp Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(1) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor* prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4} On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ' How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture 1 " are toi:)
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) .All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. VVe endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the currer.i number, and should be cut from the latest issue
'C reach the enquirer.
Stereoscopic Work.
Can you give me the name of a cheap book
(about 2S. 6d.) dealing with stereoscopic photo¬
graphy ? Most modern cameras are for 45 x 107
mm. plates ; is it advisable to enlarge to standard
size ? Is it necessary to move the lenses for
close-up subjects. G. M. G. (Bristol.)
We know of no handbook on stereo¬
scopic photography now in print at
anything like the price you name. A
standard book on the subject is that
by A. W. Judge, published at 15s.
The fashion for 45 X107 mm. plates has
considerably died down, and there is a
certain revival of the old standard-size
stereoscopic plate. Whatever size
picture is used, however, there is no
need for enlargement, as the size of the
images does not affect the realism in any
way. It is strongly advisable, even if
not absolutely necessary, to have variable
distances between the lenses, which
should be nearer together for close-up
objects, and farther apart for very
distant ones.
Drying Negatives.
What is the quickest way to dry plates and films ?
T. H. A. (Liverpool.)
There are various ways of hastening
the drying of plates, one of which is to
immerse them in successive baths of
methylated spirit. This method, how¬
ever, is not suitable for films. Another
plan is to harden the negatives with
formalin and then to dry them in a
current of hot air. It is advisable to
allow negatives to dry naturally except
in cases of urgency.
Contrast and Detail.
Can you tell me the formula of the developer which
most D. & P. services use ? They usually produce
very contrasty negatives with a great deal of
detail. J. D. F. P. (Stowe.)
All sorts of developers are used bj-
professional firms, although probably the
most usual is some form of metol-
hydroquinone. The question of contrast
is not one dependent upon any particular
developer, but on the time of develop¬
ment. Detail is largely a matter of
correct exposure. You should dismiss
from your mind any idea that you can
only get contrast and detail with some
particular type of developer.
Reversing Negatives.
I have some negatives that I would hke to put in
a lantern and throw on a screen. How can I
reverse these negatives so as to make them
positive ? L. A. (Leeds.)
Once a negative has been fixed there
is no possible means by which the image
can be converted into a positive. It
is evident that the silver that would have
been required to form a positive image
has all been removed in the fixing bath.
Your only course is to make lantern
slides from the negatives — a com¬
paratively simple process.
Speed Numbers.
Can you tell me the speed numbers of the under¬
mentioned films ? E. W. N. (Steyning.)
We have frequently pointed out that
we have no reliable information as to
the speed numbers of the various films.
With few exceptions these are not
supplied by the makers, although we
have never been able to understand the
reason for this curious reticence.
Making Camera.
I wish to make a simple box camera for aeria 1
work. Could I get a shutter working at i/5ooth
of a second combined with a lens at f/3.5 ? What
focal length should be used for 3^x2^ plates ?
Is the socket into which the dark slide fits obtain¬
able as a separate part ? W. B. S. (Ipswich.)
If you want a shutter to work at the
speed you name we should say that one
of the focal-plane type would be the
only suitable form. There are plenty of
lenses available at the apertures you give,
but there is considerable latitude as
regards focal length. With any given
series of lenses the size of the plate
covered is always stated. What you call
the socket into which the ■ dark slide
fits is naturally part of the back of the
camera itself, and you could not ex¬
pect to obtain this single part separately
to fit a home-made camera. If you can
make the camera you can surely make
the grooves for the slides to run in.
Reversal.
What has happened to the enclosed negative, and
why ? It was developed in a tank, and was on
panchromatic film. K. J. S. (Newport.)
Your negative is partially reversed into
a positive. The most likely cause is that
the light used was not safe for panchro¬
matic material. This would not matter
as long as the film was fixed as well as
developed in the tank, but if the film
were taken out for fixing the trouble
might easily arise. As you give no
particulars on this point we cannot say
whether this is the cause or not.
Miniature Reflex.
What, if any, are the advantages of a miniature
reflex camera as against the ordinary direct-vision
finder pattern ? Does the speed at which the
shutter is set aSect the view on the ground glass ?
A. V. P. (Worthing.)
The advantage of the reflex camera is
that you see the actual image of the
subject as it will be projected on to the
film or plate. This gives you an oppor¬
tunity to study definition, which the
direct-vision finder does not help with at
all. We are quite at a loss to understand
what you mean by the speed of the
shutter affecting the view on the ground
glass. This view is projected by the
finder lens and not the working lens,
and the shutter has nothing whatever
to do with it.
While-you- Wait Photographs.
I am interested in that type of camera which takes
and develops at short notice, and gives the finished
photograph on what seems to me a tin plate. If
the subject is not too trivial could you give me
some information ? T. L. (Glasgow.)
No photographic matter is too trivial
for us to deal with, but the question of
producing what are sometimes called
” while-you- wait ” photographs is hardly
connected with amateur photography.
A firm which specialises in apparatus
and material for this kind of work is
Messrs. Jonathan Fallowfield, Ltd., 6i-
62, Newman Street, Oxford Street,
London, W.i.
Yellow Stain.
What is the cause of the yellow stain on the
enclosed negative ? It was developed in a Kodak
tank with the powder developer supphed for the
purpose ? E. W. R. (Tunbridge Wells.)
There is nothing to complain about
in the negative you send. The developer
is a pyro one, and does not give clean
black negatives, especially when the
developing powders or the solution made
therefrom are not fresh and new. We
doubt whether you use an acid hypo
bath for fixing, but if not we should
recommend you to do so. If you make
a print or enlargement from the negative
we do not think you will have anything
but praise for the result. A negative
is not to look at, but to print from, and
a “ pretty ” negative is often a dis¬
appointment when it comes to the real
test.

BOX NUMBERS. — For the convenience of advertisers, letters may be addressed to
numbers at the office of this paper. When this is desired, the sum of 6d. to defray the
cost of registration and to cover postage on replies must be added to the advertisement
charges, which must include the words " Box 000, c/o ‘ The Amateur Photographer ’ .”
Replies should be addressed; “ Box 000, e o ‘ The Amateur Photographer,’ Dorset House,
Stamford Street, London, S.E.l,” and these letters will be simply forwarded by us to
the advertiser. It must be understood that we do not deal with the correspondence
in any other way, nor accept any responsibility in connection with the advertisement.
Readers who reply to Box No. advertisements are warned against sending remittances
through the post except in registered envelopes. In all such cases the use of the
Deposit System ” is recommended.
Special Note
Readers who reply to advertisements and receive no answer to their enquiries are re¬
quested to regard the silence as an indication that the goods advertised have already
been disposed of. Advertisers often receive so many enquiries that it is quite impossible
to reply to each one by post. When sending remittances direct to an advertiser, stamp
for return should also be included for use in the event of the application proving
unsuccessful.
Deposit System
Readers who hesitate to send money to advertisers in these columns may deal in perfect
safety by availing themselves of our Deposit System. If the money be deposited with
" The Amateur Photographer and Cinematographer,” both parties are advised of its
receipt. The time allowed for decision is three days, counting from receipt of goods, after
which period, if buyer decides not to retain goods, they must he returned to sender. It
a sale is effected, buyer instructs us to remit amount to seller, but if not, seller instructs
us to return amount to depositor. Carriage is paid by the buyer, but in the event of no
sale, and subject to there being no different arrangement between buyer and seller, each
pays carriage one way. The seller takes the risk of loss or damage in transit, for which we
take no responsibility. For all transactions up to £10 a deposit fee of 1- is charged ;
on transactions over £10 and under £50 the lee is 2/6 ; over £50 and under £75, 5/- ;
over £75 and under £100, 7 6 ; and on all transactions over £100, one-half per cent.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it wouid appear that
his practice is to communicate with private adver¬
tisers having goods for sale, offering to take such
goods in exchange for others, or to purchase for
cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

WEDNESDAY, July 25TH, 1934.
WE know that many readers
are glad to hear at the
earliest moment that the
index for the half-yearly volume is
complete and available. We therefore
have the pleasure of announcing that
the index for Vol. LXXVII, January
to June, 1934, is now ready at the
usual price of 3d. (by post, 4d.), and
can be obtained from our publishers,
Messrs. Iliffe & Sons Ltd., Dorset
House, Stamford Street, S.E.i. Also
available from the same source are
the lettered binding covers, which
cost 4s. id. by post. The bound
volumes make really handsome and
useful additions to the photo¬
grapher’s library, while those who
keep their weekly copies loose will
find the index of immense value in
tracing any and every item of the
contents — letterpress , illustrations ,
or names of contributors.
The Wedding Group — New
Style.
The other day we attended a
modern wedding. So did the photo¬
grapher. In the old days — of which
there are still relics in some pro¬
fessional photographers’ windows —
the photographer attended by ap¬
pointment, arranged a frightfully
self-conscious group in the garden,
and afterwards mounted copies were
distributed to certain friends of the
family, who promptly buried them
in the attic. Nothing like that on
this occasion. When the couple
emerged from the ceremony — regis¬
try office, of course — they were
halted on the steps by the brazen
lens of a camera, which also included
in its stare other members of the
party. These free-lances then,
having kept a wary eye on the
restaurant where the bride and
bridegroom had adjourned to enter¬
tain a few friends, presently appeared

there with two specimen prints,
half a crown each unmounted, or
four shillings the pair. Under the
eyes of the happy couple — not to
speak of the mothers of the parties,
who also appeared in one of the
pictures — what could any wedding
guest do but summon up a smile
of sickly eagerness, put down his
name on the order and four shil¬
lings beside it ? Brigandage is not
limited to China and such like
places.
Cruising and the Camera.
Those who have not been on
ocean cruises this summer are now
the prey of those who have, and
who bring out their photographs to
.=how you what a lovely time they
liad on deck, and incidentally —
(luite incidentally — seeing the world.
When it comes to colour photo¬
graphs taken on an ocean cruise at
eighteen-pence a time we are in for
a regular feast of it, not only at the
places of call in the Mediterranean,
which do not seem to matter so
much, but on the boat, on the games
deck, and in the swimming-pool,
where you can make a perfect
study of flesh tones. Such garments
as are worn on these cruises are
in the brightest of hues, so that
altogether it is a carnival for the
colour picture maker. One photo¬
grapher confessed to us that the
cruise had the unfortunate effect
of separating himself and his wife.
“ What, didn’t she go ? ” we said.
“ Oh, yes, she went,” he replied,
“ but, you see, the boat rolled so
much that she was only comfortable
so long as she sat quite stiU, and I
was only comfortable so long as I
was walking about.” The legend
of Jack Sprat brought up to date !
There are disadvantages, too, in
these flying visits, one of which
81

was amusingly illustrated the
same photographer. His boat stop¬
ped at a Spanish port, and on shore
he went. There approached him a
bright urchin to whom he held up
one peseta. This boy thereupon
signalled four other similar youths,
who lined across the road, and made
a very effective group. To each of
them a peseta, which he thought
the equivalent of a penny. On
returning to the boat he found that
he had distributed amongst them
something like five shillings !
A Question of Terminology.
Being purists on the subject of
photographic terms, we were glad
to hear a speaket in a recent discus¬
sion at the Institution of Electrical
Engineers stand up for the right
use of the word “ photomicrograph.”
Even in scientihc periodicals one
constantly sees the word “ micro¬
photograph ” when obviously
“ photomicrograph ” was meant.
This speaker said that on a previous
occasion when he had protested
against the words being regarded as
interchangeable he had been referred
to a standard dictionary in which
both terms were given as though
they meant the same thing. The
“ microphotograph ” will always
stand to the microscopist as meaning
a photograph so small that it
cannot be made out except with
optical aid^, while the “ photo¬
micrograph ” will mean an enlarge¬
ment of what is seen under the
microscope. A similar confusion occurs
with the word “telephotography,”
which is sometimes used to signify
wireless transmission of photographs,
instead of “ long-focus” photography.
Going by Rail.
The Astors, who chose to spend
their honeymoon in a railway train,
w'ere not as unenterprising as some
people might suppose. Apart alto¬
gether from trans-continental jour¬
neys, it is astonishing what this
little country of ours — the pioneer
railway travelling country in the
world — has to show to the traveller
on the iron road. The other day we
had occasion to go by rail through
the Buxton and Matlock district of
Derbyshire, and marvelled again at
this beautiful heart of England as
seen from the carriage window.
If something in the nature of the
American observation car were at¬
tached to our trains it would do a
good deal to popularise railway
travel. For seeing the country the
railway is excellent ; for seeing the
towns, much less so. You get no
adequate impression of any large
town on passing through its station ;
but some of our great cathedrals,
especially Ely, rising from the
flats, Lincoln on its hill, Durham,
Peterborough, and Boston “ stump,”
are best seen from the railway, and
tlreir mediaeval builders might very
well have foreseen a day when the
eye of a traveller, by a means of
locomotion then undreamed of, might
be refreshed by the sight of them.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Mirror Focussing.
In photographing a reflection in a mirror, if the camera is
5 ft. from the mirror, and the object ft. from it, should the lens
be focussed at 5 ft. or 50 ft. ? D. G. It. [Nr. Machynlleth .)
As we informed you by letter, neither of the suggestions
made is correct, and we gave you the right answer. We then
promised to go more fully into the matter for the information
of other readers as well as yourself.
We har e made a diagram which, although different from
your own, embodies the same idea. With this diagram your
question would read, should the lens be focussed on the distance
from L.i to M, or the distance from X.i to M. As we informed
you, the distance to be focussed for is neither of these, but
the sum of the two.
It amounts to the same thing as if the object X.i were at the
position X.2, with no mirror intervening ; that is, with the
object as far behind the mirror as it is now in front of it. To
put it another way, suppose the camera were moved from
C.i to C.2, and the mirror replaced by plain glass, or removed
altogether. It is evident that the distance to be focussed for
would be L.2 to X.i.
You will sometimes find the information given that a person
photographing a mirror reflection of himself and camera must
focus for a distance double that from the lens to the mirror.
This is quite correct, because in this case the lens-to-mirror
distance and the object-to-mirror distance are the same ; so
that double the distance is actually their sum.
The whole matter becomes of some importance when, as is
sometimes the case, a mirror is used in awkward and confined
spaces in interiors. A small “ black ” mirror, close to the
lens, may be successfully used in photographing clouds.
Strange Marks on Negatives.
I enclose some negatives which I developed myself. I found
afterwards that the shutter was faulty, but it has been put right,
and I have had no further trouble. You can imagine my surprise
at the results, especially as the negatives were developed in com¬
plete darkness. Can you explain the black lines, like string,
with curves and twists ? I can understand the general dullness,
but how the string ? The camera had nothing in it.
L. W. T. [Horsham.)
The explanation of the marks on your films is really a very
simple one. It is evident that the shutter was open the whole
time, and the camera must have been moved about with the
lens pointing towards a bright light, which left a trace on the
negative corresponding to the movements. If you care to

PICTURE- M A KING
The casual snapshot and T 'F T | I ^
the well-considered pic- 11^ ^ \ ^ \ \ ^
torial photograph are both
occupying the attention of innumerable amateurs on holiday at the present
time. The following notes contain some good advice for those whose photographs
usually belong to the former class but who are anxious to do better work.
Those who take cameras with
them on their annual hohday
to a new location can be
divided into two classes. The first,
and larger class, carry the camera
frankly for snapshots of the entirely
personal type. Family groups
sitting on the sands, picnic or
bathing parties, with an occasional
portrait snap, are the subjects that
generally occupy the attention of
these camera owners. They are all
unconsidered, and are taken with a
blissful belief in the mysterious
capacity of the camera, without any
knowledge of how the photograph
“happens.”
It speaks volumes for the genius
of those who are responsible for the
average cheap camera and modern
film that satisfactory results are
obtained in this manner in such
large quantities, and with no merit
on the part of the camera user.
The second class includes those
who are real amateur photographers
with a knowledge of the craft. The
camera in their case is regarded as
more than a small piece of luggage to
be taken on the holiday ; it is, in
many cases, definitely the first
consideration of the trip.
Preliminaries .
Much has already been written
in these pages regarding the pre¬
parations for a photographic holi¬
day ; the overhaul of apparatus,
choice of material, etc., and need not
be repeated here. The real adventure
begins when the place selected for
holiday is reached.
The enthusiast may rush off and
start making exposures at once ;
others may have family considera¬
tions to restrain their ardour. The
wiser and more experienced worker
will first stroll rormd at leisure, and
perhaps spend the first day or even
longer in spying out the land and
investigating its possibilities before
attempting to use the camera at all.
In either of these cases one fact
will remain constant : the best
pictures will not be taken until
the holiday is nearing its end.
The reason for this is twofold :
first, various aspects of the scenery
will be better appreciated by that
time, and secondly, the novelty of
the place will have worn off ; the
obvious things will no longer appeal,
and the pictorial effects and view¬
points that have to be sought and
recorded with individuality will h9.ve
been discovered and digested.
This procedure is inevitable with
the real pictorial worker — the ama¬
teur who takes his picture-making
seriously with a view to producing
results that will count in the ex¬
hibitions and competitions.
Points of View.
This statement must not be taken
in any sense as a discouragement,
but on the contrary. In fact, every
good worker will recognise it as
true in his own case, and it remains,
therefore, for him to apply the
process to the best advantage. Do
not, for instance, neglect to seek out
the possibilities of the new district
soon after arrival ; do not, however,
fail to take even the obvious things
at first. They all teach their lesson,
and the desire to do something
better, to find different and improved
viewpoints for the same subject
will grow.
This particularly applies to the
locality that boasts of many at¬
tractive and pictorial features. Visits
to the same spot at different hours
of the day will produce many
alternative results, and, finally, the
masterpiece. The same view seen
from different angles, some higher,
some lower, from east, west, north
or south, all give a variation of the
same story ; but one of them will be
the best. In rare instances, the best
may happen to be the first shot ; but
this does not occur often.
Some views, particularly at the
83
coast, depend for a successful render¬
ing, the kind that will lift them from
the commonplace, upon some adven¬
titious detail. The presence of a
boat, or white sail, or figure in just
the right place at tlie right moment
when the lighting and other factors
are correct, will happen sooner or
later. Only a feeling of what is
necessary to make that subject
perfect arising from careful study
of the setting by repeated visits and
observation will make an appreciation
of the right moment a certainty.
Comparing Results.
Frequently two photographers will
take the same subject ; one will be
an ordinary snapshot, a mere record
with no character ; the other, a
picture that will claim immediate
attention and score every time.
The question will be asked : Why are
these two photographs of the same
thing so different ? The answer is
that the first has been unconsidered ;
the view may have appealed for its
attractiveness and has been snapped
forthwith and finished with. The
other has been more carefully con¬
sidered on the lines mentioned
above, and may possibly be the
third or fourth attempt, each getting
nearer the ideal, until the right
lighting and the right viewpoint
have been arrived at.
It will pay every holiday photo¬
grapher, therefore, who wishes to
turn his annual vacation to good
account in making pictures to take
this advice to heart. Do not be
satisfied with the first sight of any
holiday view, no matter how good
it may look. Do not despise the
picture postcards seen in the local
shops ; they will indicate what to
look for and what to avoid. Above
all, do not be afraid of doing the
same subject over and over again.
The final achievement will be a
greater success and more nearly
approach a work of art.

SUNLIT ALLEYS FOR
PICTURE-MA KING
By W. S. G. PROCTOR.
TO most photographers the beauty
of the countryside is, naturally,
more alluring than the drab¬
ness of the town alley. Not only is
beneath the mantle of light and
shade which nature throws over them.
The presence of shadows is a
primary condition of success in alley
photography, for it is largely on the
use he can make of shadows that the
artist has to depend when composing
his picture.
Unlike photographs of landscapes,
those taken in alleys generally gain
pictorially when the sky is excluded
from the composition. Usually the
Left in charge.
effect of its presence is to produce a
marginal high-light which competes
with the principal object for our
attention.
The main centre of interest should
be somewhere in the alley itself, and
may consist of a human figure, a horse
and cart, or even a dustbin. But,
whatever it be, it should, of course,
harmonise with its surroundings. An
old man in tattered garments would
be in keeping with the age-worn
buildings, while a gentleman in plus
fours would mar the whole scene.
A home-made handcart might tend
to preserve harmony, while a motor
car would certainly destroy it.
84
Sweeping-up.
But the decision as to what form
the principal centre of interest shall
take and what position in the picture
it shall occupy must be left to the
photographer’s ‘conception of the aes¬
thetic. The same may be said with
regard to the suitability or otherwise
of the prevailing distribution of sun¬
light and shadow over the scene, and
of the lens aperture necessary to
secure the most pleasing depth of
focus.
Going shopping.
Over the garden wall.
a rural environment in itself more
congenial than the b^^ways of our
towns, but rustic bridges, thatched
cottages and tree-flanked streams seem
to offer to the photographer more
scope for practising his art than
cobbled streets and brick buildings.
Nevertheless, the narrow streets
and courts in the older parts of our
towns are, to the observant photo¬
grapher, far from being a barren
hunting-ground. On the contrar}',
they offer innumerable subjects for
camera studies when conditions are
favourable. Viewed under a grey
sky, these usually squalid localities
cannot be termed charming, but a
ray of sunlight falling on gable or
pavement can make, temporarily, a
vast difference in their aspect-
Seen under direct sunlight, the
surfaces of sombre brickwork and
masonry, patterned, as they often
are, with the shadows cast upon them
by neighbouring architectural features,
seem to hide their inherent ugliness

U AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
6 CIMEMATOGRAPHER a
As a rule, the alley photo¬
grapher finds, in practice,
that he is compelled to make
a panel-shaped picture with
the longer sides vertical.
The cramped, space in which
he works often forces him
to include, near the vertical
margins of his plate, the
images of objects which play
no part in his composition.
These features he excludes
frorn his print, a practice
which accounts for the ob¬
ligation mentioned.
Foremost amongst the tech¬
nical problems which confront
the alley photographer is that
relating to exposure. It
should be realised at the
outset that transparency in
the shadows of the finished
print is essential to success
and that, to secure this end, ample exposure of the
plate is necessary. The time-honoured rule of exposing
for detail in the shadows is a safe one to follow and the
photographer is strongly ad¬
vised to use an exposure
meter.
The development of the
plate requires more than
ordinary care. If this is
unduly prolonged the
contrasty' character of the
subject will be greatly
exaggerated in the print.
Brief development helps one
to retain the relative values
of the tones.
But a little practical ex¬
perience in alley photography
will soon convince the recruit
to this branch of our art that,
as an exercise in technique
alone, it is worth his atten¬
tion. And in its pictorial as¬
pect he will find ample scope
for developing his aesthetic
taste, his search for pictorial
material amidst normally ugly surroundings gradually
opening his eyes to the transient beauty with which
sunlight often adorns them.
An evening chat.
SUBJECTS Holiday-makers Often Miss
By P. R. S.
Many must be the interesting
photographable subjects a
camera user may fail to see
when holiday-making, or even when
on a photographic society’s outing,
should the ground not be very well
known to those visiting it.
It has often been said that gala
days in towns and villages are bad
times for the really serious photo¬
grapher. On such days camera users
are prone to take advantage of cheap
fares to such places, but on arrival
they are often disappointed to find
the principal streets unphotographable
because of a display of flags and bunting.
Postcard Views.
Such decorations, however, are
frequently a blessing in disguise, as
they make the taking of orthodox
“ postcardy ” views difficult, if not
impossible, and drive the photographer
into the byways where the most
picturesque and least-photographed
bits are far more likely to be found.
Many tourist photographers make
a point of examining the postcard
views exposed for sale in shop windows
in order to see what subjects the
district offers, and having seen them
proceed to make exposures upon them,
feeling sure that the expert postcard
operators have discovered the best
views.
That the commercial or professional
men have discovered the best selling
subjects no one will dispute, but
the picture-loving amateur would in
most cases do well to ignore hackneyed
subjects, and carefully seek views the
postcard men pass over as unsaleable,
not worth making an exposure upon,
or, what is more likely, do not see.
The Point of View.
The fact that holiday-making ama¬
teurs often miss the best and most
pictorial subjects is proved by a
recent article appearing in these pages,
entitled, “ Sunny Days.”
The contributor, it maybe remember¬
ed, gave a picture of a Domesday mill,
a subject photographed each year by
many amateurs ; the latter, however,
invariably picture the side of the
mill facing the public road, a point of
view which includes many disfiguring
advertisements .
Very few photographers find their
way to the back of the old mill as
‘‘ W. L. F. W.” did, a none too easy
task, as a fence and pigsty have to be
negotiated, a most uninviting task for
photographers clad in holiday attire,
while a fear of trespassing may have
deterred some from exploring the rural
beauties of the old millpond and stream.
A few days after the publication of
the note and picture referred to, Mr.
Bernard Falk, writing in the Daily
Mail, told of many interesting things
uninitiated trippers are likely to miss,
and although the article was not
penned specially for camera-men,
photographers who read it will no
85
doubt make a point of making ex¬
posures upon some of the subjects
the writer named.
Typical Subjects.
Among the many subjects that may
be said to escape a holiday-maker’s
attention, and deserve to be recorded
by the camera are the following :
the peculiar quartered stone ball on
Clare College Bridge, Cambridge ; the
stone at Hastings on which, according
to tradition, William the Conqueror had
his first meal on landing in England ;
the field at Bridgefoot Farm, beside
the Royston-Newmarketroad, in which
Cromwell held his council of war ; also
the ‘200-year-old milestone opposite
the field ; carved wooden effigies
(the faces of which vary when re¬
garded from different angles) in the
Priory Church, at Christchurch, near
Bournemouth ; the peculiar spyhole,
or “ bull’s-eye,” over the steps leading
to Mitre Court, in the Temple, London ;
the old village cross at Meriden, near
Coventry, which is reputed to mark
the centre of England ; the grave and
tombstone of Mr. Andrews, the
original “ Old Moore,” in Royston
(Herts) churchyard, and a corbel of
Chester Cathedral bearing grotesque
portraits of Beaconsfield and Glad¬
stone. These are but a few of the
little-known subjects a holiday-maker
may find, and are merely offered as
suggestions for the sort of thing he
should look for.

excellent view of the pond and the

only a matter of deciding upon the
right focus and stop (which in most
cases should be a small one) , and then
waiting for attractive groups to come

to be secured.
The variety of photographs to be
obtained is naturally considerable.
The lady being taught to swim whilst
her anxious instructor shouts direc¬
tions to her from the side of the pool
makes an amusing picture, surpassed,
however, in interest by that of the
more proficient or expert diver. As regards the
latter, it is only safe to attempt photographing him in
the action of diving if the shutter works at not less
than i/25oth of a second, and it may be necessary to
increase the pace to i/300th if possible. This shutter
speed naturally demands the use of a larger aperture or
under-exposure may result.
If the diver can be photographed against the sky, or
anyway be caught outlined against some plain, light-

the case, it is not easy to approach near him he is liable
to be somewhat lost sight of in the general surroundings,
especiallv when the scale of the photograph is necessarily
small, if, however, the ideal position from which to
make the exposure cannot be reached, drawbacks as
regards surroundings, etc., may be overcome by making
an enlargement from a small portion of the negative only.
During the bright summer months practically any
type of camera can be used for these pictures. Even the
cheap snapshot instrument with small-aperture lens
will give a good account of itself. The exception is
with subjects which include diving or rapid movement
on the water chute. For these, a shutter giving speeds
up to i/25oth of a second (focal-plane or Compur) is
necessary. For most of the other bathing-pool subjects,
slower speeds will secure sharp results ; even with
diving pictures, if the diver is taken coming towards
the camera. The faster shutter speeds are only necessary
for broadside-on rapidly moving objects.

DEVELOPING PACK FILMS.

LESS ADVANCED |
WORKER 1
I AM always pleased when readers of these notes write
and ask questions, or suggest seme matter on which
I might write. One now wishes to know just how I
develop pack films, with which he apparently finds trouble ;
another is uncertain about the effect of a rising front. For
this week I will run over the developing part, although
there is nothing I have not described before.
Birthplace of Charles Dickens.
In the earlier days of film packs I had plenty of trouble
■with them. We all did. The " accidents ” were of many
kinds, often unforeseen and unavoidable, and particularly
maddening. As far as I know, these troubles have all
vanished. I use considerable numbers of packs now,
and have only one complaint about them — the staggering
price. I cannot understand why they should cost five
times as much as the finest plates used to cost over a
long period.
I very rarely open a pack to remove exposed films until
I get to the end of it This can be done, however, with
many packs quite easily and safely. I prefer, when I want
to take a subject and develop at once, to use plates, and
for that reason I have slides for such cameras as take packs.

In a back volume of this paper I came across a letter in
which the writer expressed surprise that any photographer
should use pyro as a developer, and proceeded to enumerate
a string of its demerits. Another correspondent said that
the reason why pyro was still used was that it possessed
not a single one of the faults attributed to it. I agree.
For negative-making I know of nothing better, if as good.
The Developer.
My stock pyro takes but a few minutes to prepare, so
I make it up only in small quantities. In about 6 oz. of
water I dissolve 100 grs. of crushed potassium meta¬
bisulphite, then I oz. of pyro, and make the volume up
to 8 oz. This is kept in a small bottle with a rubber “ cork.”
When I am about to develop a few negatives I take i oz.
of this pyro and 9 oz. of water. This we may call solution
A. Then in about 6 oz. of water I dissolve | oz. anhydrous
sodium sulphite and 160 grs. of anhydrous sodium car¬
bonate, and make up to 10 oz. This is solution B. If I
think that bromide is desirable I add a few drops from a
10 per cent solution, but more often than not I leave it out.
For plates I take one part each of A, B and water. For

pack films I use equal parts of A and B, without further
dilution.
Many photographers put a whole batch of flat films in
water, and transfer them to the developer, keeping them
moving till they are all nice and black both sides. This is
quick, and apparently effective. I prefer to do them two
at a time, in a half-plate dish, which is large enough even for
quarter-plates.
Developing Procedure.
In this dish I start with about five ounces of developer.
On top of the dish I put a stiff card. On this I place an
empty 5X4 plate box, into which I put the twelve films
from the pack. Two of the films I lay face down on the
card, and put the remainder aside in the box. I tear off
the paper from the first film, catch hold of one edge with a
small pair of pliers, and drag it backwards and forwards once
or twice through the solution. It soon lies limp at the
bottom of the dish, which is rocked once or twice. Mean¬
while I have been holding the card, aqd the other film face
downwards on it. This film is now treated similarly. In
lefes time than it has taken me to write this description, the
two films are lying quietly side by side. I cover the dish
with the card, and rock the dish gently at intervals, first
longways and then crossways, taking care not to disturb
the films.
At the end of a couple of minutes it is easy to identify
the subject on each film. I like to be able to do this, as
it is quite likely that one may require less development than
the other. This, as I have pointed out several times, is
useful in cases of contrasty subjects, for which full exposure
and shorter development are best. If the subject is likely
to be flat and dull, I give fuller development to increase
the contrasts. I am guided a good deal by the appearance
of the back of the film.
When I do take the negative out of the developer I give
it a quick rinse in a large dish of clean water. I keep my
fingers under the negative while I do this, letting it float
about in the water over my hand rather than hold it even
by the edges. It then goes into the fixing dish.
The Fixing Bath.
The solution in this has been prepared by dissolving i lb.
of hypo in 2 pints of hot water, to which has been added,
when cool, another pint of water in which i oz. of potas¬
sium metabisulphite has been dissolved. The negatives
have 10 to 15 minutes in this fresh bath (I never use one
twice) before going into a dish of clean water.
After each pair of negatives is developed I throw away
one ounce of the developer, and add one ounce of fresh
mixed A and B solutions. This results in keeping the
developer sufficiently active.
These film negatives I do not wash by the two-dish
method. It is done in the one dish. I empty out the
water slowly, and let fresh water run in a steady stream
on to one sloping side of the dish, setting the films swirling
round and round. This is repeated about a dozen times
in an hour, when the films are surface dried with damp
chamois leather, and pinned up along the edge of a shelf
to dry. I always afterwards snip off the corner where the
pin has left a burr, as this will scratch badly.
The Illustrations.
Except that the illustrations are both from 3^X2^ films
made in this way they have no particular bearing on the
subject. The Dickens house I had often passed, but never
had a chance to photograph till recently. It is a useful
addition to a small collection of Dickens subjects picked
up here and there at various times.
When I took the Norman font I had no tripod with me,
as I did not anticipate any subjects of this kind. The
camera was stood on a convenient table, which was,
however, too high for such a low subject. I should have
been floored except for the fact that the camera fortunately
has a fall, as well as a rise, to the front, and this just did
the trick. W. L. F. W.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
R. C. L.
HERDSON.
“ hunter enjoys seeking for shots more than I do, yet
there is this great difference ; the hunter shoots
(with a gun) to destroy ; while I shoot (with a
camera) to create. Kvery phase of photography appeals to
me, whether rambling in town or country, or shut up in a dark¬
room. I make pictures for the very jo\' of doing so, and tackle
any kind of subject that may at the time appeal to me.
" For many years I was an enthusiastic snapshotter, in the
Humble Splendour. R. C. L. Herdson.
true sense of the word, and, like so many others, I shot indis¬
criminately, hoped for the best, and sent the spool to the
D. & P. man to do the rest. It was not until I became a
member of a photographic society that I discovered the
possibilities of camera work. Then, like all enthusiasts, once
having seen the true beauty of the art, further knowledge was
most eagerly sought for. The value of photographic clubs
cannot be over-stressed, nor the work they do too highly
complimented. Being a member of the Camberwell
C. C., I was fortunate in having so able a coach as
Mr. J. H. Clark. With his valued assistance, backed
by ‘ The A.P.,’ and the Club’s monthly competitions,
I felt I was steadily progressing along the right lines-
" Every reader of these lines who is at present in the
' snapshot ’ stage is seriously advised to follow the
same course. Join the nearest photographic society ;
read ‘ The A.P.’ every week, and give up relying on the
D. & P. establishment for making negatives and prints.
It is only by learning to do one’s own D. & P. that progress
in photography can be made possible and enable an
understanding of its possibilities to be appreciated.
“ I do not believe in submitting one or two ‘ stock ’
prints to an unlimited number of exhibitions, and seldom
send out a print more than three or four times ; thus
I have to be continually making fresh pictures. My
favourite camera is a 2J X 3 J roll-film, although I often
carry a Sanderson J-pl. field outfit. The compactness
and lightness of the former, however, make this my
more constant companion. With this I usually use
Selochrome or Selo S.S. pan. roll film, while for the
field outfit I use Ilford Soft-gradation pans, (backed).
These I expose upon a meter reading.
" The majority of my plates and films are developed
by the time and temperature method, using a pyro-
soda developer, the time of development being about
twenty per cent less than that advised by the
manufacturer
“ Kodak Royal Tinted is my favourite paper, but
when I think another make would better serve my
purpose I never hesitate to change. Amidol is the
developer that I find best to work with on the Kodak
paper. I seldom mak'e contacts. Usually I make
whole-plate enlargements, which I trim, and when
satisfied that I have secured the best composition I
enlarge to 15x12 in.
‘‘ Spotting and oiling are done after the print is
mounted. Usually I do not have to do much in the
way of after-work on my prints, preferring to spend
more time while making the exposure to secure as
far as possible what I want upon the negative. Where
after-work is necessary I think it should be done. After
all, it is the finished picture that is intended for public
exhibition, and so long as the so-called faking is not
conspicuous then I consider the artist has the licence to
employ any method he might choose to secure an effect.”

Sam. Cntkal Comments »" “
The two woodland subjects repro¬
duced on the opposite page,
Nos. I and 3, are good examples,
in their class, of this sort of thing ;
but. in the forrrier, “ Sunlight in a
Wood,” by J. H. Godfrey, it would
undoubtedly have been wiser to have
arranged for the inclusion of the base
of the tree on the right, and, in the
latter, ‘‘ Summer Afternoon,” by S. P.
Mandeville, the value of the sunlight
is appreciably diminished by com¬
petition with the bits of sky filtering
through the foliage.
Promising Essays.
Both, it may be said, are promising
essays in a kind of work that is not
so often seen nowadays, and, as such,
are worthy of encouragement. If
it were possible for the good features
of each to be combined, however, the
result would afford an indication of
what to aim for, and would possess
an appeal that at present is scarcely
attained by either.
In each there is an effect of sun¬
shine. It is better expressed in No. i,
principally for the reason that the
competition of the sky is avoided,
and it is emphasised by the darks of
the twp foreground trees. The fore¬
ground is inadequate, and, besides the
drawback occasioned by the absence
of the base of the right-hand tree,
a feeling of instability arises in
consequence.
The case is different with No. 3,
for the foreground is ample and well
diversified. The trees, while no less
characteristic, assume a greater grace
of form, but they are of another type,
and it could not be expected that the
pines of No. i could vie with the less
formal shapes of No. 3. If there were
an equal depth of foreground in the
first, the disposition of the subject
material could be viewed as affording
a quite acceptable composition in either
example, but ” Sunlight in a Wood ”
could do with a foreground such as
“ Summer Afternoon ” includes, and
the latter would be immeasurably
enhanced if the sunlight were so well
expressed as in the former.
Countering Competition.
Where the subject is found in the
depth of a wood, as in No. i, it is
easier to avoid or counter the com¬
petition arising from patches of sky
showing through, but when a position
near the edge or a clearing of any size
is chosen, it is quite another matter.
The control processes, such as
bromoil and its derivatives, or gum,
enable a competent worker to correct
any deficiency in this direction ; but it
demands not only a technical mastery
of the process, but also a considerable
knowledge of the way trees grow, and
their formation, as well as a reasonable
capacity in draughtsmanship. Other¬
wise, any attempt at correction is
likely to prove worse than the defect
itself. Panchromatic plates, in con¬
nection with an orange or deep yellow
filter, may, by cutting out the blue,
offer some advantage in certain cases,
but the correction in colour rendering
that might be expected could not
altogether overcome any difference
in light intensities.
Control and Selection.
Control, whether purely photogra¬
phic, as when panchromatic materials
are employed, or by after-treatment,
as in the case of the pigment processes,
necessarily requires a good deal of
experience before it can become of
any service.
That it eventually repays the trouble
taken to acquire it is undeniable,
but it is wiser for the novice to seek
to avoid any necessity for it by exer¬
cising the greatest possible care in
selection of the subject material in
the first place. If such a course be
adopted, much of the need for control
will be obviated, and the eye will be
enabled to choose a subject instinc¬
tively in such a way that it more or
less arranges itself in satisfactory form.
Moreover, it will be obvious that
the less control is needed the easier
it is to introduce it without detection,
and, by the timeMhat a reasonable
power of selection has developed, the
ability to utilise methods of control
will come with it.
It is possible that control, in the
photographic sense, is responsible for
the tone of the sky in No. 2,
‘‘ Autumn,” by R. S. Patel. It would
seem that an emulsion of the colour-
sensitive variety was used accom¬
panied by a light filter of appreciable
depth. On the other hand, it may
have been obtained by a certain
amount of shading during the exposure.
A Touch of Exaggeration.
Whether such a depth of tone would
ever appear in fact or not is open to
question. It is true that the scene
comes from India, and it is possible
that, under certain conditions, the
sky does attain such a depth ; but,
whether natural or emphasised, it
conveys a feeling of exaggeration.
Nevertheless, it is something to have
reached the stage which knows that
the sky is not satisfactorily rendered
by a blank stretch of whiteness ;
but, at the same time, it is as well
to appreciate that an excess of
emphasis is quite as distasteful as
none.
" Morning ” (4), by V. S. Bame,
is likewise exaggerated in the depth
to which the tone of parts of the sky
has been carried. Here the defect
seems to be attributable to a measure
of under-exposure, accompanied by
a marked degree of over-development
of the negative in relation to the
paper on which it was designed to
be printed. The consequence is that
the contrasts of the negative are too
great for the printing paper to cope
with, and the remedy is either to
reduce the time of development of the
former or to utilise a printing paper
of softer characteristics.
Contrast in Excess.
The dense black of the clouds in the
upper portion is very much heavier
than it would appear to the eye, and
the contrast with the light below is
excessive.
Similar remarks are applicable also
to No. 5, “ Day’s Finale,” by A. J.
Potter, and, if anything, the degree
of under-exposure appears to be
greater; but, in No. 6, “ The Weald,”
by J. D. Hastings, a much nearer
approach to correctitude of- tone
values, both in sky and landscape, is
to be seen.
' The sky and middle distance are
very nicely rendered indeed, and,
except for the fact that the clouds
are somewhat bitty and detached in
character, the print provides an ob¬
ject lesson to the others. On the
other hand, the foreground, if about
the right depth of tone, is scarcely
sufficiently relieved by the two hedge¬
rows, and a little more variety would
be advantageous. ‘‘ Mentor.”

benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“ DECORATION,” hy W. A. Hooker.
Having regard to the nature of
the subject and the angle from
which it was viewed — on ac¬
count of which it attains a marked
degree of originality — it is probable
that the more conservative would be
inclined to consider a representation
of this type as something in the nature
of a stunt or an intentional expression
of eccentricity.
Novelty and Eccentricity.
To some extent, a point of
this kind must be a matter
of opinion, but, before so
dismissing the picture, it is
necessary to draw a dis¬
tinction between a work that
has been deliberately perpe¬
trated as an outrage upon
artistic susceptibilities or with
the idea of producing some¬
thing so. much out of the
ordinary as to create a sug¬
gestion of exaggerated novelty,
and one in which the intention
is sincere, but which acquires
originality from an individ¬
ualistic point of view.
Primarily, it seems to be
a matter of intention. If
that be genuine, it would not
be altogether fair to regard
its expression as a stunt,
however unusual it might be ;
but, if the unusual is employed
simply to attract the attention
and any aesthetic quality is
more or less fortuitous, most
people would agree that the
epithet is deserved.
In the general run of such
works, there is something
that seems to give an indica¬
tion of the intention, and
most people of any practical com¬
petence in photography are able to
distinguish the one class from the
other. The line of demarcation, how¬
ever, is not always easy to determine,
and some ettorts on the border line
might be ascribed by some to the
stunt category and by others to the
result of an individualistic turn of
mind ; but, examined with these
considerations in view, it is scarcely
possible, in this particular instance,
to doubt the sincerity of the original
intention.
Decoration and the Stunt.
It is true that many efforts of the
stunt class have been camouflaged
under the same title, but that is no
reason for either damning it or im¬
peaching the original motive ; nor,
except for the fact that the Une of
sight is directed upward instead of
being on the level, is there much depar¬
ture from the normal point of view.
The disturbing factors usually as¬
sociated with such a viewpoint have
been avoided, and there are no con¬
verging vertical lines of any signifi¬
cance to create a sense of distortion.
That being so, the viewpoint may be
regarded as acceptable in that it does
not, in itself, invite any suggestion of
eccentricity. It does, however, in¬
volve the absence of a real foreground,
or that portion of a picture which
indicates a similar level to that from
which the subject was seen, but there
is no lack of stability in consequence,
96
for the dark of the dado along the
base serves the same purpose.
In other respects, the representation
hardly exhibits any extraordinary
feature, for a painter at work is more
or less commonplace as asubject,andthe
usual conventions of composition and
placing have been followed. The figure
itself (i) is placed upon one of an inter¬
section of thirds, and, as the most im¬
portant item and centre of inter¬
est, is thereby made to assume
the necessary dominance.
No criticism lies against
the work on this latter ground,
but, arising from the angle
of view from which the
figure is seen in relation to
the design upon which he is
at work, there is a feature
which is decidedly out of the
ordinary. That is the sweep¬
ing curve which the two
figures make in conjunction
with each other. There may
also be something unusual,
perhaps, in the inclusion of
the secondary figure (2), for
it is seldom possible to find
a painter engaged upon work
of this description, and rarer
still for it to be feasible for
the work to be employed as an
essential element in the design.
Justification in Design.
The curve in question im¬
parts a sense of pattern,
and not only justifies the
title but also makes the
intention apparent. It compels
the inference that, on viewing
the subject, the author of the
picture was impressed by the
decorative pattern formed by
the real and the pictured figures in
conjunction with each other and
impelled to take it.
That the subject shows a man at
work and the work upon which he is
engaged, which is a thing that photo¬
graphy can do exceedingly well,
provides yet another justification, if
any be needed, and the picture, so
far from warranting the appellation
of a stunt, should be regarded as an
expression of an original outlook and
an individualistic point of view.

SKY FILTERS.
Sir, — Anyone who takes the trouble to draw the paths of
the rays through a sky filter can easily see its effect. If the
filter were behind the lens it would be true to its name, or if it
worked right on the subject. But the distance from sky to
lens is so large compared with that from filter to lens, that it
works as a complete filter of half the density the yellow half
holds. The writer of last week’s letter is therefore right when he
says pinholes would have no effect beyond lowering the density
of the filter. — Yours, etc., J. H. BARNETT.
THE PERFECT CAMERA.
r Sir, — May 1 make a contribution to the discussion on" The
Perfect Camera ” ?
Having used an " Exakta ” for nearly a year, I quite agree
with several correspondents in their opinion that this is thfe
nearest approach to the ideal, but I find the camera a trifle
bulky.
If a camera of this type were produced taking ten pictures
5X4 cm. on the standard V.P. spool, instead of the usual
eight pictures 6.5x4 cm., the dimensions could be reduced
considerably, and the results would be a " pocketable ” minia¬
ture reflex taking pictures of a very convenient size. — Yours,
etc., C. HARMAN.
MINIATURE AND IDEAL CAMERAS.
Sir, — Innumerable letters have appeared in your columns
advancing various theories as to what is the ideal camera and
the theoretical advantages of the miniature instrument.
The study of the types of cameras used by the men who do
things (viz., contributors to your excellent series, " How I
make my Exhibition Pictures ”) is therefore interesting.
Going through the back numbers of " The A.P.” for the last
eighteen months or so, of fifty contributors who state the type
of camera they prefer, six use various sizes between 9x12 cm.
and ^-plate, thirty-one use -j-plates, twelve favour 31X2^,
whilst only one uses a smaller size. As regards the size of
the image, the C.D.V. owners usually employ a 5-in. focal
length, whilst the ^-plate owners seem to prefer Of or 7 in.,
and the majority in both classes use 10, 12 and even 17 in.
telephotos for a great part of their work.
Again, the miniaturist “ fan ” claims his tiny versatile
camera to be ideal for Press work, but 1 have yet to see the
professional Pressman using one of the microscopic marvels,
much less abandon his old 5X4 and depend entirely on the
miniature for his living.
Theoretically the new miniatures are ideal instruments (for
people with ideal incomes), but unfortunately this world of ours
is severely practical. — Yours, e.tc., C. P. VAUGHAN.
WOODBURYTYPE.
Sir, — I was much interested in your note about Woodbury
type in your issue of July 4th, and thought it might be of
interest to call your attention to the use of that process in
the Ceramic Industry, in which I was employed for some
twenty years before and after the war.
In the early days of the war, my firm produced a number
of photographs on tiles, of the celebrities of those days. These
were pressed in clay dust — as the great bulk of glazed wall
tiles are made — from a metal top die, which was itself made
from an original on bichromated gelatine, which gave a kind
of bas-relief. From the bas-relief, a plaster mould was made,
and from that the metal die was cast.
I have probably got the details of the process wrong. It
was a long time ago, and I had nothing to do with it personally.
But it is evidently an adaptation of the Woodbury type. Of
course, in the case of a glazed tile, the glaze varies in density
of tone according to the varying amount of relief, and so a
very effective result is obtained. I have in my possession a
very striking portrait of a gentleman who was once active in
the tile industry, done in this way by a firm of tile manu¬
facturers in the Midlands. It is a really beautiful piece of
work.
I don’t know whether the process is still used in the tile
industry, but 1 have not seen examples of it for some time.
I seem to remember that the making of the gelatine relief was
rather a tricky business, and of course portraits on tiles have
little practical utility, which doubtless accounts for the process
not being more used. — Yours, etc., BM/PXEZ.
MAKING THE MOST OF “THE A.P.”
Sir, — I feel sure that there are many readers who do not
get full value from The Amateur Photographer and Cinema¬
tographer. When they have finished reading the copy they buy
every week they throw it away, which is a sheer waste of
valuable and practical material.
The wise photographer — the beginner in particular — once
he has read an issue, runs through it again, and cuts out all
the articles which are of special interest to him. These cuttings
he files away for future reference in large envelopes — one
envelope for each branch of photography. In a few weeks he
has the nucleus of a reference library, which will prove in¬
valuable whenever he is in need of reliable information.
Many photographers cut out the monthly " A.P.” exposure
tables. After a week in one’s pocket the tables are apt to
become creased and torn. A much better plan is to paste the
tables on strong cards. They will then stand wear and tear
much better.
If you want the tables to fit inside your wallet you can
always cut away the columns that do not apply to you. If
you use ultra-rapid films only, all you need paste on your card
is the subject column and the exposures for ultra-rapid films.
Then on the back of the card add a brief summary of the notes
on exposure. — Yours, etc., JOHN L. MARSDEN.
‘‘The A.P/’ Monthly Competitions
ONCE more a remarkably fine batch of prints has
been submitted in the monthly competitions,
the Advanced W^orkers’ Section in particular
includes a number of first - class photosfraphs that

quality of the entries in this section of the competition
seems to be getting better and better, while the Inter¬
mediate Section now contains work that a few years
ago would certainly have ranked high in the Advanced

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINfi APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Filming at the Seaside P. H. BRAITHWAITE.
The annual holiday by the sea
gives the cinematographer
ample opportunity of obtaining
pictorial records of many happy days
which will be fully appreciated when
the dark evenings return. It is hard
to plot out any definite shots before¬
hand, as so many interesting subjects
are liable to present themselves.
One thing must be remembered
before the journey is undertaken.
Obtain ample supplies of film before¬
hand ; sufficient to cover the holiday,
especially if the place visited is not
too large, as difficulty may be ex¬
perienced in getting supplies locally.
Even in larger seaside resorts, dealers
may have temporarily run out of
stocks ; in any case unnecessary time
may be wasted in locating the shop.
Subjects and Exposure.
Once at our destination, it should
be remembered that the seaside pro¬
duces the best possible results as
regards conditions of light. Sea and
clouds act as excellent sun reflectors,
and there is a notable absence of
smoky haze prevalent in large, towns.
On this account, exposure will have
to be considered, as actinic quality of
light will be greater. An exposure
meter will be found indispensable to
avoid over-exposure.
The bulk of the film will, no doubt,
be used on subjects actually on or
close by the sea. Children are difficult
to film in their natural easy poses.
Patience is required, as a child’s
attention is never concentrated for
long on a single subject. Producing the
cine camera provokes a stolid stare,
which, of course, ruins the shot.
Refrain from shooting for a while
until they have resumed their bathing
or their building of sand castles.
Caution can be exercised in ap¬
proaching them at their games, and,
by keeping the camera out of sight
until the subjects have again settled
down, the camera can be produced
quietly and the shot undertaken.
Keep the camera as low down as
possible, as the subjects are small,
and aerial views are unsatisfactory.
If the children are in the water,
care must be taken that the reflection
of the sun on the water does not
The typical seaside action subject 'with a personal appeal that every cin£-amateur
will record.
shine directly upwards into the camera
lens.
Backgrounds, too, must be taken
into consideration. See that the
horizon does not cut across the heads
of the subjects being filmed. For
preference, film below the horizon
line.
Waves rolling their pattern on the
sand may yield a simple but effective
shot. The waves should be carefully
watched beforehand so that one in
which the pattern is given is what
is desired.
Probably a slightly elevated stand¬
point may be turned to advantage,
or, ii high rocks are available, a climb
to the top of one will enable a long
shot of the whole beach and shore
below being filmed, giving an unusual
viewpoint. Cliff scenery, though
enticing, should be avoided for filming
puiposes, unless there is actual move¬
ment above or below it.
The choice of subjects will be very
wide : speedboats in action, crowds on
the pier, or even the unsuspecting
angler caught hopefully hauling up
his line, revealing a tiny fi.sh.
A shot of the ever-popular slot
machines doing business, or a short
length of film exposed on the talented
open-air concert party in action can
be included. The arrival or departure
of the excursion steamer, or, better
still, a trip undertaken on it, will
provide excellent original material.
A shot of the pier gradually dis¬
appearing as the boat leaves, the
crowds on deck, and any passing
craft give opportunities that should not
be missed.
Numerous animated studies can
be obtained in the harbour. By
hiring a boat, excellent viewpoints
can be obtained of fishing vessels
by exposing a length of film whilst the
boat threads its way in between them.
Good views of the front can be got
in this way.
Finally, always cap the lens and
replace the camera in its case after
filming, away from the heat and glare
of the powerful summer sun.

6 CINEMATOGRAPHER g
For Amateurs Going Abroad SIGURD MOIR.
It is well worth while to spend some little time in planning the production programme before commencing
an overseas holiday. The following article will be found helpful in overcoming the more familiar
difficulties and in ensuring satisfaction from the very outset.
I HAVE recently been corresponding
with three readers of this journal
on the subject of cinema holidays
abroad. Briefly, information was
required as to the most satisfactory
type of film to make, the manner of
satisfying Customs requirements, ob¬
taining local assistance in certain
phases of the work, and a number of
less important matters.
All were agreed that they had no
desire to waste good film on the
meaningless travel " snapshot ” ; and
this is heartening news, since the
public screening of earlier “ button¬
pressing ” escapades of this type —
despite excellent photographic quality
in the images — has done nothing to
indicate that in amateur circles there
is any such thing as the film mind.
Casual Shots,
I do not say that all casual shots
are valueless. What all cinemato¬
graphers should remember is that
many exotic scenes owe much of their
attraction to such qualities as colour,
vivid relief, sounds and sweet odours —
most of which it may be impossible
to render in the film. (The still
photographer has long since felt the
force of all this.)
One of these correspondents was
opposed to spending his holiday on
imitating what he called the “ silly
amateur playfilm.” Well, one must
candidly admit that playfilms are not
everything ; but, apart from this, it
would be no easy task to film a
photoplay during a three weeks’ stay
in Tangier (Morocco).
This narrows our field down to
documentary, continuity-travellogue
and abstract treatments. Continuity-
travellogue differs from the rather
pointless “ cine-snapshotting,” in that
the film does not depend for its unity (!)
on a number of explanatory titles
which are decided upon after the
shots have been taken. Here the
titles — together with the rest of the
essay — are planned before even an
inch of film has been run off. Which
is the only satisfactory way of making
a good film.
Customs.
When he goes abroad, the cinema¬
tographer should have no difficulty
whatever in taking away any equip- .
ment or materials that he may have
in his possession. But he may require
a covering document to facilitate the
duty-free entry of such possessions
on his return home. Apparatus and
film made in Great Britain or Northern
Ireland are, of course, regarded as
being exempt from this requirement.
The necessary form, which has to
be completed in duplicate, may be ob¬
tained from the Officer of Customs and
Excise at the home port of embark¬
ation and at certain airplane stations.
Readers who may have omitted to
take out this form would probably be
allowed to enter with their apparatus,
etc., provided such were accompanied
by a detailed invoice or receipt from
the stores at which the goods were
purchased.
Local Assistance.
Local assistance can be of tremen¬
dous value when working in entirely
unfamiliar surroundings. Unfortun¬
ately, such assistance is not always
easy to obtain ; though, in this as in
most other matters, much may depend
upon associations which the cinema¬
tographer is able to build up for
himself. The world-wide amateur
Cinema League, for example, has
accredited representatives in many of
the frequented parts of the globe.
Some organisations, like the C.S.
Cine S., have resident members in
different parts of the Empire. And.
of course, it goes without saying that
the utmost help and assistance will
always be forthcoming whenever cine¬
matographers meet in outlandish parts.
On the subject of kits, there is no
need to give a free advertisement to
any of the excellent firms of suppliers
who are able to advise on things that
are worn and carried in the different
holiday zones. But it is important
for the cinematographer to take out
as much film as he conveniently can
when he goes abroad. In some places,
i6-mm. stock is either unobtainable or
obtainable only at some days’ notice,
whilst in other cases the worker may
be asked to make use of out-of-date
stock which has already spent no
little time under tropical conditions.
Other information which may help
in the planning of films as well as
in the making of arrangements can
be gleaned from the pages of a current
guide. Travel and other books dealing
with the location in question may also
prove of much practical assistance ;
and these should be read in conjunction
with the guide.

EXHIBITIONS &
COMPETITIONS
July 25th, 1934
XTEWS AND REVIEWS
^ items of general interest from all quarters.
Readers are reminded that the latest
day for sending in entries for The Royal
Photographic Society’s Annual Ex¬
hibition is Friday, August loth. Entry
forms and full particulars are obtainable
on application to the Secretary, R.P.S.,
35, Russell Square, London, W.C.i.
The Leicester and Leicestershire Pho¬
tographic Society was founded in 1885,
and will, in 1935, reach its Jubilee year.
To commemorate this event in worthy
fashion, special efforts are to be made
with the Society’s Annual Exhibition.
This will again be run on international
lines, and every effort is to be made
to get together a representative col¬
lection of pictorial photography by the
world's leading workers. Mr. W. N.
Plant, of 30, Harrow Road, Leicester,
is the Hon. Organising Secretary.
Secretaries of photographic societies
and camera clubs are advised that
Messrs. Johnson & Sons, of Hendon Way,
Hendon, London, N.W.4, are again
preparing to send out material and data
for the following practical demonstra¬
tions ; " Correct Development by the
Azol Method,” " Flashlight Photo¬
graphy,” " After-treatment of the
Negative,” " Toning of Gaslight and
Bromide Prints,” " How to do your
own Developing and Printing.” Appli¬
cations for these demonstrations should
be made to the address given, with
alternative dates.
A slow-speed attachment for the
Leica camera has just been introduced
by Messrs. Leitz. This lijtle gadget
screws on the release button of the
camera and allows an exposure of
a second, half second, quarter and
eighth second to be made with any
Leica Model II or Standard. It is
easily attached and costs £1 i6s.
The " hiking ” photographer is now
provided with a specially designed light
tripod. This is called the " Hikepod,”
and is obtainable from Oskar Schiff, of
30, Fairfax Road, N.W.6. It is a well-
made and useful article, resembling, when
closed, a stout malacca walking-stick
with crook handle, and as such it can
be used when " hiking.” For photo¬
graphic purposes, the handle unscrews,
and the malacca outer shell slides off,
leaving a neat but substantial two-
section telescopic metal tripod. This
extends to 45 inches, and is strong
enough to hold any medium-weight
camera without vibration. As a two-
purpose accessory the " Hikepod ’’should
be very popular. Its price is 21s.
A change of Hon. Secretary is an¬
nounced for the Ealing Photographic
Society. Mr. E. S. Allwright, 3, Kerrison
Lodge, 59, Warwicjk Road, Ealing,
W.5, has been elected to that position.
The Exhibition of the Professional
Photographers’ Association will be held
this year from September 5th to 29th.
It will again be divided into two con¬
secutive sections. The first will be of
Industrial Photography, and will be
open from September 5th to 15th.
The second will be of Portraiture only,
and will be opened on September i8th
by the Lord Mayor of London. The
last day for entries for both exhibitions
is August 1 8th. Entry forms are now
ready, and can be obtained with full
particulars from the Secretary, P.P..A.,
Sundial House, 357, Euston Road, N.W.i.
We are asked by Messrs. Schering,
Ltd., to draw attention to an error in
their advertisement of the ’\''oigtlander
“ Superb ” Camera in our issue of i8th
July. The model at I'll is fitted with
Heliar f/3.5 anastigmat, and not f/4.5,
as erroneously announced.
Roll film with the remarkable speed
of 4,400 H. & D. (28° Scheiner) has now
been put on the market by Agfa, Ltd.
The high quality of the Agfa products are
well known, and this firm has already
been responsible for film of outstanding
quality and speed. The latest Agfa
fast Isochrom retains all the good
features of the earlier Isochrom film ;
fine grain, good orthochromatic charac¬
ter, freedom from halation, and clean
developing quality. The great speed of
the new film is amply borne out by
tests on difficult subjects, and it can be
highly recommended for all phases of
photography in dull or poor light. It
is fast enough for snapshots indoors,
and the highest speed work can be
successfully undertaken with it out
of doors. It is obtainable in all sizes
in roll films and film packs.
An exhibition of Commercial Art,
including that in which photography
plays a part, has been organised by
Messrs. Percy Lund, Humphries & Co.,
at 12, Bedford Square, W.C.i. Ad¬
mission is free.
At the Watling Centre, Orange Hill
Road, Burnt Oak, a new camera club
has been formed under the name of the
Watling Association Camera Club. The
club meets every Thursday, and possesses
facilities for a practical dark-room and
lecture-room. The Hon. Secretary is
Mr. A. J. Wainwright, of 234, Blundell
Road, Edgware, Middlesex, and he will
be glad to hear from anyone interested,
particularly beginners.
An "A.P.” reader, Mr. R. H. Bryant,
of 83, South Side, Clapham Common,
S.W.4, has had his camera, a Foth-Flex
(lens No. 10738), stolen. Will anyone
to whom this camera is offered inform
the police immediately.

iHi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
^ 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER q
‘Deaders' Questions
^ ANSWERED
Gfneral. — All commanirations for the Editor should be addressed ; The Editor, 'I ne Amateur Photottrapher
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
}ji\e the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subiects.
.All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper oniv. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
’egal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected maniiscrip's,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrance-
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
•t without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — .Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(1) bee “ General ” above. (2) E^very question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
lo the name and address of the sender, must be the title fif any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) .All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission IS given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return cf post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon ^so, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut trom the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Fixing-Hardening Bath.
Will you give me a formula for a good acid fixing
and hardening bath ? J. A. W. (Mosmau.)
You should make up two solutions :
Hypo
5
oz.
Water to . .
20
oz.
Sodium sulphite . .
4
oz.
Glacial acetic acid
3
oz.
Alum
2
oz.
Water to . .
20
oz.
To make the working bath add 2 oz.
of B to the A solution. In making up
B you should dissolve the alum in part
of the water and the sulphite in another
part. Add the acid to the sulphite
when dissolved, and then add the
alum solution.
Photographing Birds.
What type of camera would be suitable for photo¬
graphing birds in flight at 6 ft. and upwards ?
A reflex would not be suitable as there is no time
for focussing. Size of photograph is not impor¬
tant, but a bulky camera is undesirable. Roll
film is probably simpler than plates or film pack.
G. H. L. N. (Wendover.)
You are setting yourself a very
difficult task in attempting to photo¬
graph birds in flight at a distance of
6 feet or even considerably more. Owing
to the limitations you impose we should
say that your best chance would be
with a camera of the so-called Press
type, with a direct-vision finder, a large-
aperture lens and a focal-plane shutter.
A large-aperture lens would certainly
be necessary for such brief exposures as
would be required, and this imposes
the necessity of very accurate focussing,
as the nearer the object and the larger
the aperture the less is the depth of
definition. With the type of camera
suggested it is more usual to use single
dark slides and plates, especially as you
have more choice of variety with plates
than with films. We have not heard of
any outfit that would make such work
easy and certain.
Intensification .
Is it possible for the enclosed negatives to be
intensified ? H. C. R. (Tottenham.)
Intensification will only strengthen
an existing image, and cannot possibly
create one from nothing. The films you
send are not negatives in the ordinary
sense at all, and they are absolutely
useless. We know nothing about the
exposures given, but these were ob¬
viously totally inadequate. We imagine
that you gave “ snapshot ” exposures
in an impossible light. Why not use
an exposure meter to save you from such
errors ?
Grain in Enlargement.
I enclose an enlargement from a negative on
t'erichrome film. Can you explain the mottled
effect ? A. J. M. (Hale.)
The Verichrome film has a matt
surface like finely-ground glass, and the
grain of this will show when the
negative has a considerable degree of
enlargement through a condenser with
undiffused light. It is necessary in these
cases to have the light properly diffused.
We make many enlargements from
Verichrome negatives, and find them
quite satisfactory in every way.
Competition Prints.
I am told that prints for your competitions must
be printed only on vigorous glossy black and white,
and not on cream-tinted paper. Is this so ?
K. G. (Leatherhead.)
Whoever gave you the information
about the competition prints certainly
had no authority for making any such
statement. A print for competition
purposes should be made on the paper
that does it most justice, and we have
prints by practically every printing
process known. Certainly a print which
showed falsihed tones owing to the use
of too vigorous a paper would stand no
chance of an award.
Stained Film.
Is there any rapid method of removing the pink
stain on the enclosed film ? H. R. (St. Helens.)
All such stains as that to which you
refer generally disappear in the fixing
bath, provided this is of the acid type.
They may be unaffected by plain hypo.
Any slight coloration which does not
disappear in the fixing and subsequent
washing may safely be ignored.
Aerial Photographs.
I wish to make some aerial photographs of the
type enclosed. Is a - miniature camera
suitable ? If not, what do you suggest ? I want
a camera for general work as well. Should pan¬
chromatic films be used, with a green filter ?
Should I use full aperture, or should I stop down ?
Are there any other special points to be con¬
sidered ? F. A. B. (Chelmsford.)
The subject of aerial photography is
not one that can be dealt with in the
form of answers to questions. Such
photographs as the one you send are
the work of experts, who use the most
suitable apparatus for their purposes,
and do not expect their cameras to be
equally suitable for general work. As
a rule panchromatic material is used,
but not always with the same type of
filter. The stop yon use depends upon
all sorts of circumstances, which cannot
be entered into in a brief manner. If
you communicate with Messrs. Sands
Hunter, Ltd., of 37, Bedford Street,
Strand, London, W.C.i, they will send
you a catalogue of books, in which you
will find one or two on aerial photo¬
graphy. The fact that two of them
cost 25s. each should be sufficient
indication that the matter is not one
to be dealt with by question and answer.
Making up M.Q.
In the following M.Q. formula in what order should
the ingredients be dissolved ? C. R. (Richmond.)
It is usual in quoting formulae to name
the ingredients in the order in which
they should be dissolved, which is not
the case in the one you give. We
advise metol, sodium sulphite, hydro-
quinone, potassium bromide, sodium
carbonate.
Fixing -Hardening.
Can you give me a formula, not including alum,
for a bath that will fix and harden negatives and
prints ? P. J. (Worxington.)
The following is recommended :
Hypo . . . . . . 4 oz.
Water . . . . . . 20 oz.
Potassium metabisulphite oz.
Formalin . . . . . . | oz.
Stop Markings.
I have an old Goerz lens on which the diaphragm
numbers are 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96. Are these
f/ numbers ? R. E. (Bideford.)
No. You may regard them as repre¬
senting the f/ numbers 6.3, 7.7, ii, 16,
22 and 32.
Ownership of Negative.
If I pay a professional to take my portrait, and
buy the prints in the usual way, am I entitled
to the negative as well ? B. F. J. (Bow.)
No. The negative remains the pro¬
perty of the professional, although he
may not use it for. making further prints
without your con.sent.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Owing to the August Bank Holiday, the
issue of “ THE AMATEUR PHOTO¬
GRAPHER AND CINEMATOGRAPHER”
for .\uOust 8th must be closed for press
earlier than usual.
MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS
for insertion in that issue can be accepted
up to
FIRST POST, THURSDAY, AUG. 2nd.
WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private adver¬
tisers having goods for sale, offering to take such
goods in exchange for others, or to purchase for
cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

0 FAR as sheer
beauty and brilliance of
tone distinguish ^pic¬
tures’ from Snapshots,’
“Panatomic” gives you
a picture every time. Fine detail, subtle gradation, pearly
high-lights, soft shadows— those characteristics that
collectively make up ‘quality’— are present in every
negative on “Panatomic” Film.
The new emulsion makes the difference. “Panatomic” is
a fully Panchromatic him of almost Atomic-^nQ grain
(that makes it superb for enlargements). And it is fast ;
double-coated ; anti-halation backed.
“Panatomic” has all the virtues. Use it for your

WEDNESDAY, August ist, 1934.
Readers whose holidays are
yet to come should not over¬
look the arrangement made
with the Holiday Club which we
announced in a recent issue. The
Holiday Club will supply information
and advice on accommodation and
beauty-spots and interesting objects.
The membership fee to the Club has
been waived in the case of “ A.P.”
readers, who will be made Honorary
Members and receive the information
on request. Application should be
made in the first instance through
“ The A.P.” The information sup¬
plied by the Holiday Club has
recently been revised, and brought
up to date with the help of the autho¬
rities of the districts concerned. The
Holiday Club is also promoting a
photographic competition in which it
is possible to earn a fortnight's holi¬
day for two, not only without cost but
with a £5 note for expenses. “A.P.”
readers will be eligible for this also.
Sheer Luck.
A lady on her recent holiday in
* Switzerland used her camera with
a recklessness which we have never
seen equalled. She did not appear
to pay any attention to light, pose,
composition, or anything else, but
snapped away at random without
care or compunction. On her return
she sent us some of the results in
which we had a personal interest,
having ourselves been in the line
of her erratic fire. She did not
send us all of them, for some she
had had to destroy, and we were
left to speculate on what the
destroyed ones were lilce after en¬
deavouring to make out whether
some of the others meant anything
at all. Nearly all were lamentable,
offending the most elementary
canons. But among the rest there
was one, taken on a boat on a Swiss

lake, against which the most fas¬
tidious critic could urge no com¬
plaint. It was just perfect in its
way. The exposure must have been
right, the lighting as it should be,
and in the placing of the figures and
in the atmosphere and emphasis a
master hand could have done no
better. It was indubitably her
own, and she had talcen no more
care over it than over the others.
It seems as if, in photography as
in other things, there is a divinity
that shapes our ends, rough-hew
them how we will. Though it is
not well to rely on divinity too often
to do our work for us. Heaven
(usually) helps those who help
themselves, but sometimes it helps
those who do not.
Immobility in Bird Photography.
One of the cleverest photographers
of birds and animals to-day is Miss
Frances Pitt, whose weekly illus¬
trated articles on natural history
have for a long time been featured
by one of the leading London even¬
ing newspapers. Miss Pitt has just
published a book (“The Naturalist
on the Prowl ”) in which she gives
much valuable advice on observing
and photographing birds and ani¬
mals. In the early days of bird
photography it was often thought
advisable to disguise oneself as a
cow or a tree when taking close-up
pictures of birds and certain nervous
animals. While such aids are not to
be despised it is pointed out that
experience has shown that not
camouflage, but immobility, is the
essential condition for success. Most
bird-lovers know that when a person
stands perfectly still birds seem to
take no notice, and wiU often perch
and feed in easy reach of a cautious
observer. The aim of the photo¬
grapher of birds, therefore, should
103
5
hi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPhCR
p 6 C!NEHATOORAPHER o
August 1st, 1934
be to make an exposure without any
visible movement of self or camera.
Another point worthy of note is that
when a “ hide ” is used, a friend
should be with the photographer
to leave it ostentatiously so as to
deceive the bird. Presumably birds
cannot count ; they may see two
persons enter a “ hide,” but when
one leaves it they seem to lose their
nervousness.
Pictures Without a Camera.
We are sometimes told by writers
of books on photography to be
always composing pictures as we
walk abroad, even though we have
no camera with us. We wonder
whether this is really feasible advice.
It is sometimes said that the sports¬
man sees his best quarry when he is
out without a gun, and, on that'
analogy, a photographer should dis¬
cover his best pictures when he has
no means of recording them. And
yet, somehow, we doubt it. We are
inclined to thinlc that in some curi¬
ous psychological way the carrying
of a camera leads to the discovery
of subjects which otherwise the
eye would never see. It is having
the instrument to hand which just
gives tHe necessary mental or emo¬
tional — or should it be perceptional ?
— click. Commonly we do not think
enough of the psychological help
our instruments give us when taking
our walks abroad.
Events Abroad.
An American magazine, published
in New York, and appealing entirely
to Americans, publishes monthly
the forthcoming events in old Europe
which would be likely to interest
American sightseers. Among those
listed for England we catch Widde-
combe Fair, the celebration of Dr.
Johnson’s birthday, the Ram and
Cheese Fair at Northampton, the
old custom of clipping the church at
Painswick, near Stroud, the High¬
land games at Oban, the Rood Fair
at Dumfries, the Goose Fair at
Tavistock, and the Mop Fair at
Stratford-on-Avon. How many of
these have you seen ? The visitor
often sees more than the native.

U AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
■a 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER a
Exhibition Print
The following article offers suggestions to those photographers who
are intending to submit prints to the selecting committees of the
R.P.S. and The London Salon of Photography.
IT is the ambition of most serious
photographers to have their
work accepted at one or other
of the leading exhibitions of pictorial
work. There can be no better test of
the photographer’s ability and pro¬
gress than regular acceptance of
his work by the selecting com¬
mittees of either The I^ondon Salon
of Photography or the pictorial
section of the Royal Photographic
Society.
The time for the submission of
entries to these important shows is
now drawing near, and the photo¬
grapher who wishes to send in his
best prints for consideration has no
time to lose. Hurried work is fatal
to success, and there is the further
disadvantage that the photographer
has not the same opportunity of
judging the final result that he would
have if the work were done in good
time, and any suggested modifica¬
tions put into elfect.
The Subject.
In order to be successful in any
high-class exhibition the photograph
must display originality. It may
be that the photographer finds an
original subject that has not been
treated before, or he may be able to
express an old theme in a fresh
manner. The personal factor counts
for a very great deal in these days,
when the selection committees have
a large number of entries submitted
of a very high standard. Hackneyed
subjects, even if well done, are seldom
certain of acceptance in the leading
shows.
There are two courses open to the
photographer who wishes to pro¬
duce an exhibition picture. He can
examine his stock of negatives and
select the best, or he may go to the
trouble of finding new subjects
specially for the purpose. Either
course has advantages, but the
latter is productive of the better
results, in that the photographer
is all the time working towards a
predetermined end.
Technique.
It need hardly be said that perfect
technique is of the very first
importance. Although the selecting
committees are in the main con¬
cerned with the artistic rather than
the technical side, they have so
much good work to select from that
any which fails on this score will be
rejected. Further, only by perfect
technique will the photographer be
able to express the ideal.
If bromide papers are used the
photographer will be well advised
to use only papers of the very first
grade, and of a base and surface
that will assist the subject and
enhance the effect to be con¬
veyed.
The exhibition print must be of
good colour, and it may well be of
rather stronger character than when
intended for home decoration. The
reason for this is that a print loses
something of its depth when in the
strong light of a gallery. A good
test in this respect is to examine the
print in the open air in bright light.
Sizes.
Although in these days large prints
are in favour the photographer may
be cautioned against making prints
larger than the negative will pro¬
duce without marked loss of quality.
Size is not in itself a merit, and too
great enlargement may bring into
evidence points which may escape
attention in a print of smaller size.
This is of special importance in these
times when very small negatives are
the rule. We see many pictures at
exhibitions which are obviously over¬
enlarged.
Trimming and Mounting.
Having made the print it should
be trimmed to the best advantage
by the aid of masking with two
L-shaped pieces of card, until the
subject is seen at its best. A
certain amount of trimming may
be done while the print is being
made by using only the selected
part of the negative, but there are
still the final proportions to be
decided before it is rhounted.
Mounting should be done care¬
fully. Gone are the elaborate
“ multiple mounts,” which in past
times competed with' the print for
attention, often successfully, but
many exhibition prints leave much
to be desired in this respect. Sizes
are standardised, and white or very
light mounts are generally suggested,
but this does not mean that any
odd piece of thick card will do, or
that all the photographer need to
do is to stick the print down.
(Some photographers fail to do this
satisfactorily, by the way.)
The choice of a mount, suited to
the subject by its tone and texture,
is a point that should not escape
attention in the final stages in the
production of the exhibition print.
It is a good plan, having made and
mounted the print, to place it in a
narrow frame for protection, and
to live with it for a week or so.
This will in effect show the observant
photographer whether it is as good
as he was inclined to believe when
the print was first made. This is
why we suggest making the print as
soon as possible, well ahead of the
sending-in day.
Sending In.
Lastly, the entry form should be
fiUed up accurately, after the con¬
ditions have been carefully read.
Good work has been put at a dis¬
advantage before now because some
condition was not complied with.
An important point is that the
prints should be well packed so
that the selectors have the oppor¬
tunity of seeing them at their best.
Bad packing can only result in the
prints reaching their destination the
worse for the journey. Finally, the
parcel should be sent off in good
time, properly addressed, in order to
ensure that it will be delivered at
least the day previous to the closing
date.

YACHT
Photography
By ROBERT FERGUSON.
The Start.
from a boat is easily over¬
come with a little practice.
The moment to make an
exposure in rough weather
IS when the craft you are in
is at the top of a wave.
This is not at all difficult to
manage after a little practice,
and, in addition, if a deep
breath is taken, and held
whilst the exposure is made,
a perfectly sharp negative
should be obtained.
It will be found that pho¬
tographs of yachts taken
from small boats are usually
more graceful than those
taken from a higher position;
the lower viewpoint also
gives a better action picture.
For this class of work a

remembered that a fast shutter speed
will be called for if the boat is near.
On the other hand, craft going away
from or coming towards the camera do
not need such a quick exposure.
If not used to this branch of photo¬
graphy the photographer is rather apt
to over-expose. This fault should be
guarded against, as over-exposure will
mean the loss of cloud effects.
Development of the film or plate
should not be carried too far, the aim be¬
ing to obtain a negative on the thin side.
The accompanying photographs were
taken with an old-fashioned box
camera. The plates (anti-screen) were
developed by tank with Azol developer.
The exposures given were i/iooth sec.
at f/ii.
Apart from the great annual
yachting festival at Cowes next
week, the numerous sailing
clubs on the rivers and around our
coastline will provide the enthusiast
with ample material for yacht photo¬
graphy during the whole of August.
The subject is one in which the
novice in photography has every chance
of securing good results, the lighting
conditions being entirely conducive to
well-exposed negatives.
It is also a branch of
photography very suitable for
the advanced worker, who
will find much material of a
pictorial nature in the por¬
traying of these beautiful
sailing craft.
To obtain the best yacht
pictures the photographer
will usually have to be afloat,
as it is seldom that a reason¬
ably large size image can be
obtained from the land. If
permission to be on the
flagship during a regatta can
be obtained, good pictures of
the start and finish of the
\ arious classes can be made.
Rowing and motor boats are
also very useful vantage-
points from which to make
exposures. The tendency to

The Camera
agricultural show offers the
amateur photographer a unique
opportunity of trying out almost
every branch of the art, from landscape
to interior, from portraiture to high¬
speed work, all within the compass of
a couple of days and a few acres of
space. It was only when looking
through a miscellaneous collection of
photographs taken at the principal
shows during the last four years that
I realised how wide a field of photo¬
graphy I had been playing in, and I
am led to offer the hint to readers
who may visit an agricultural show
during the present summer.
All my photographs have been
taken with a 3^X2^ folding film
camera, and although most of them
have been of exhibits in the forestry
sections of the shows, and have been
necessarily very much of the order of
close-ups, I have had remarkably few
bad, or even indifferent, results.
As to the opportunities offered by a
show, not only to secure " memory ”
pictures, but also pictures which may
quite possibly be saleable. The news¬
papers seem to have a partiality for
photographs of pigs, especially if
the pigs be doing something unusual,
such as leaping from their sty, or
eluding capture by discomfited humans.
1h[ amateur PHOTOGRAPHEli !
ta 6 ClhEMATQGRAPHER cs I
at an Agricultural Show
By R. C. B. GARDNER.
The day before the .shaw opens is the
time to get the best pig photographs.
By wandering round the stockyard
in the evening, you can see pigs of all
kinds and sizes — fat sows, huge tusky
boars, small piglets — being scrubbed,
combed and generally groomed to
make them fit to enter the judging
ring the next morning. The sight of
a freshly lathered boar, breaking
away from the helpless " barber,”
whom it has probably knocked over,
is too good not to risk a shot on,
even though your shutter may be set
at only i/25th sec., and the lighting
conditions not of the best.
Then, early on the morning of the
first day comes the judging of all
kinds of stock, and you can get bulls,
cows, goats, sheep and pigs, either
singly or in procession to and from
the judging rings. Later in the morn¬
ing the judging' of hunters and polo
ponies in the large ring gives ample
opportunity for action photographs of
horses, and further opportunity for
this high-speed work will come with
the jumping competitions ; especially,
perhaps, in the ever-popular children’s
pony classes. And the musical rides,
jumping displays and trick riding by
cavalry or mounted police must not
be forgotten.
Do not forget the " side-shows ” —
the rural crafts such as basket-making,
clog-making, pole-lathe turning, etc.,
many of which provide interesting
and useful photographs if you know
anyone writing articles on these crafts.
Many of the crowd will be worth an
exposure — the herdsmen, the smiths, the
shepherds and stockmen , and the co u ntry-
men and their famihes for whom the
local show is the great day of the year.
Even telephotography can have a
look-in, for, given a place by the
ring-side facing the grand- stand, there
should be opportunity for a telephoto
of the various notabilities usually to
be seen in the president’s bo.x on the
first afternoon of the show.
As for interior work, in the covered
buildings, some interesting photo¬
graphs can be taken which may come
in handy for making lantern slides
and for illustrating articles on timber,
various arts and crafts, soil science,
animal and plant diseases, etc. The
light is usually good, for the roofs
are as a rule either of corrugated iron
lit by glass lights, or of a fairly trans¬
parent canvas. I find I get perfectly
satisfactory negatives in anything
but very bad light by giving one second
with f/8, using Selochrome film with
Ilford Alpha filter.
66 din ”
Amateurs who purchase plates or films of German
manufacture will notice an innovation in the marking
of the speed on the carton containing the material.
In addition to Scheiner and H. & D., both of which are
well known, a third, " DIN,” has now appeared.
This latter is certainly the most reliable method of the
three, as the measurement is carried out by means of
apparatus which must comply with certain definite stipu¬
lations laid down by the “ DIN.”
These initials are those of the German Standards As¬
sociation, which corresponds to the British Standards
Institution in this country. The ‘‘ DIN ” is officially
recognised, and the use of its initials together with false
information is a punishable offence.
It is as well at this stage to repeat what has already been
said by many others — viz., it is quite impossible to
compile a table giving comparative values for the three
methods. There are fundamental differences in the
methods of measuring the sensitivity, and consequently
materials possessing the same ” DIN ” number can have
different values if tested by either of the other two
methods.
In the case of the two older methods, different manu¬
facturers use different measuring apparatus, with the result
that it would be possible for them to differ among themselves
with regard to the same material.
The original methods invented by Scheiner and Hurter
and Driffield did not take into account the characteristics
of modern high-speed plates and films ; consequently.
manufacturers have been compelled to devise means of
their own.
Neither method allows for orthochromatism, and under
certain circumstances, a film or plate with a certain number
may be more sensitive than one with a higher figure. In
both these systems, the readings from which the speed
numbers are deduced are taken from the threshold value and
not from the " printable ” value of the darkening of the
emulsion.
In the case of the H. & D. scale, the sensitivity is directly
proportional to the number, but in the case of both the
German systems the scale is a logarithmic one. An increase
of 3° Scheiner or “ DIN,” denotes that the sensitivity
is doubled.
The following is a rough outline of the method used for
the determination of “ DIN ” values. The apparatus used
is provided with a standard lamp so arranged that a light
equivalent to that of the midday sun falls on the material
under test. This material is screened from the light by a
glass plate on which is engraved a scale consisting of a
series of steps each denser than the preceding one.
' After the material has been developed in a specified
manner, the image of the scale is compared with a standard
scale, and the reading just below that which gives an exact
match is chosen as representing the speed figure.
Exposure meters, especially those of the photo-electric
cell type, graduated in ‘‘ DIN ” degrees are already on sale
on the Continent, and will probably be available here
within a short space of time. H. J. H.

But if your fancy should happen to

majestic skies you will find them,
too, in Mona, easily.
You will probably land at Douglas

And if you should- — unluckily —
IF you, dear reader, should happen to be one of those
amateur photographers who can never make up
their minds where to spend their annual holiday
until the last possible moment, I can give you a
tip. Stop worrying and poring over guide-books to
this resort or that, trying to decide which really is The
Queen of Watering-places. Go to the Isle of Man.
If, on the other hand, you are one of those fortunate,
methodical individuals who love to have everything
planned, mapped-out, cut-and-dried, weeks — even months
— ahead, the same friendly tip holds good. Go to the
Isle of Man.
Mona, The Magic Isle, will welcome you both (and
all others in between, whatever your type!). She will
entertain and refresh you,
enchant you with her count¬
less moods, lure you back
again and again to her hos¬
pitable shores with that
indefinable witchery which
is her own especial secret,
and you will have the very
finest photographic holiday
of your life, whatever your
ideal holiday may be. A
tall order that, you say.
Maybe it is. But the
Island lives up to it, fully.

speak truth.

Tlie. light almost rivals that of
Hollywood for clarity and brilliance
(perhaps because the whole Irish Sea
acts as a gigantic reflector). For
this reason panchromatic films and
plates can be used with a filter to
the greatest advantage. This quality
of the light is also an advantage to
the amateur equipped with a cheap
camera and small-aperture lens. He
can always be sure of well-exposed
negatives inland as well as on the
coast. With the modern high-speed
material, exposures can be cut to a
minimum. Practically every make
and variety of film and plate,
etc., can be obtained on the spot.

so there is no need to carry an extensive supply.
Almost every part of the island is easily accessible
by bus, train, charabanc, or electric railway. But if
you own a road vehicle of any sort (lordly Rolls or
humble “ btke ”) bring it with you. You will find
yourself in dozens of lovely spots which public service
vehicles cannot reach.
Wherever you live you can reach the Magic Isle
easily and cheaply (by air — the modern magic carpet —
if you wish). The Official Guide will give you full
details of routes, sailings, accommodation, etc. It will
also give you particulars about the annual photographic
competition which, if you should happen to be one of
the lucky prize-winners, might easily result in your
having a free holiday and a little over. The Secretary,

camera was always used at eye-level. Either the salesman
was wilfully misleading a possible customer, or he did not
know what he was talking about. In some circumstances
the height at which the camera is used will make consider¬
able difference in the result ; but raising the camera from
waist to eyes is not a substitute for a rising front. And
how about the awkward fact that the waist-level of one is
the eye-level of another ?
To make the illustration I took two photographs, natural
size, of a 32X2^ camera. The upper one shows the lens
in its normal position — exactly opposite the centre of the
plate ; the lower one shows the front raised
as far as it will go — in this case g/ibths of an
inch. Then I took two photographs with the
front in these two positions, and have put the
prints so that they show what appeared on the
focussing screen in each case. The prints have
the dark edges formed by the clear margins
of the films, so that there is no trimming.
It will be seen that with the lens in the
normal position one of the chimneys nearly
runs out at the bottom of the field. Had I
gone nearer to the house some of the roof
would have been off the plate, but there would
still be enough, and to spare, of the foreground.
In the second version, raising the front
(and the lens) has lifted the house well into
the picture-space. It need not have been
brought up as far, but I wanted to show the
limit. In some cases every bit of the available
rise would be wanted.
On the lens panel is a white dot, and on the
side which supports the front is another.
When the dots are side by side the lens is
central, so that it is easy to see how much
the lens is above or below the centre.
In some cameras the front can be raised
so much that the lens is opposite the top edge
of the focussing screen ; but with so extreme
a rise it is necessary to have a swing front to
bring the axis of the lens to the middle of the
screen. This in turn involves considerable
stopping down. It follows that only a reason¬
able rise is possible for hand -camera work.
With this particular camera I have used the
full rise available for hand exposures, even with
a large stop, as the lens covers well.
I admit that many photographers 'using a
hand camera seldom feel the need for a rising
front. If there are no vertical lines in the
subject they can point the camera upwards or
downwards tb get what they want on the plate.
If there are vertical lines, as in such a subject
as the house, they will just as cheerfully tilt
the camera, and the cock-eyed result does not
perturb them in the least.
ACCORDING to promise I am saying something this
week about that particular movement of the camera
known as the rising front. Perhaps I am a bit of
a crank about this arrangement, and attach undue impor¬
tance to it ; but if I explain its purpose simply, it will
remain with readers to decide for themselves how much
value, if any, they attach to it.
A friend of mine who was examining a small but expensive
camera in a shop mentioned that he noticed that there
was no rise to the front. The salesman promptly declared
that there was no need for anything of the sort, as the

ta 6 CIMEMATOQRAPHER o
It must always be remembered, too, that the errors in
" drawing,” when this sort of thing is done, can be corrected
afterwards ; at any rate to such an extent that detection
is very unlikely.
Further, many a subject that will not go completely
into the picture-space from one standpoint, will fit in quite
comfortably from a more distant one. This is often a
a solution of the problem when no rising front is available.
So that it is quite possible to get along without a rising
front, and to tackle an enormous number of subjects
without once missing it.
None the less, my own feeling is that when a rising front
is wanted it may be wanted very badly indeed. I am not
so fussy about a rise for the horizontal picture position.
It may be wanted sometimes even then ; but in the very
nature of things it is the upright subject^ — the “ tall ”
one — that is most likely to give trouble if the lens is fixed
opposite the centre of the plate. And these ‘‘ tall ”
subjects have a way of turning up pretty often.
The main reason why so many excellent cameras are
without this movement is the desire for compactness. If
a camera is to have rising front movement both ways of the
plate, and also a long extension (and therefore longer
bellows), there is necessarily an increase in size and weight.
The question is, to what extent is it wise to sacrifice adapta¬
bility to portability, and convenience to compactness ?
It is significant of my own ideas on the matter that I can
say that ' at present I have not a single camera that has
not some rise of front for the upright way of the picture.

HIDDEN PICTURES —
The part is greater than the

often applied to photography.

Print from the complete negative.
little judicious trimming makes to a
print is remarkable.
The two accompanying illustrations
show rather forcibly how trimming
can make an indifferent photograph
into a picture, and it may be interesting
to recall how this picture was revealed.
The first illustration was enlarged and
sent to “ The A.P.” Intermediate
Competition. It wag returned with the
criticism that the sky was distracting
and the foreground out of focus.
Without further ado, and more as a
joke than anything else, I trimmed off
the sky and the immediate foreground,
remounted the result, and sent it off
the same day to the following month’s
competition. To my great surprise
it was awarded a certificate of merit,
and by two strokes of the trimming
knife I was elevated to that exalted
band of advanced workers.
The criticisms which accompany
unsuccessful entries for '' The A.P.”
competitions are always very useful
and constructive. It is well worth
while entering the competitions for
the criticisms alone, which are of great
assistance in improving one’s tech¬
nique and pictorial appreciation.
Much can also be learned by a
careful study of “ Mentor’s ” weekly
criticism of beginners’ prints and
by his pictorial analysis. Frequently
he recommends alterations to certain
prints by trimming, and it is a useful
idea to cover up the part mentioned
and see the improvement made. In
a short time you will be able instinc¬
tively to tell how any print should be
trimmed to show it to its best advan¬
tage.
In the future make sure that you
have no pictures hidden away in your
photographs which a little trimming
would reveal. Cut out two L-shaped
pieces of card, as frequently de¬
scribed in these pages in the past, and
carefully mask each part of your print
until the best composition is found.
You will be surprised how the qual¬
ity of your work will improve and
the number of successful pictures
increase.

Mr.
HARRY
JONES.
Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
I HAVE possessed a camera for many
years, but up to twelve years
ago was more interested in
painting as a hobby. In fact, it was
only through the chance purchase of
‘ The A.P.’ at a railway station book¬
stall that I learned there was such a
thing as pictorial photography. The
‘ Pictures of the Week ’ by F. C. Tilney
intrigued and interested me, while
‘Piftle’ by ‘The Walrus’ caused many
appreciative chuckles. Soft focus was
then very much to the fore, and 1
formed a hatred of it which exists to
this day.
" Through the column of ‘ Club
Meetings I learned of the Birkenhead
Evening by the Fireside.
Photographic Association, and joined ; and
I would like to say that the advice and
assistance I received from the members
was invaluable. I am also a member
of three postal camera clubs. These
I find most helpful and stimulating.
■' With regard to my pictures, pattern
and form are to me of primary impor¬
tance, and I like human interest in
them. Although ' A Brief Toilet ’ was
more or less of a chance shot, it was
the realisation of the importance of the
bird, and the waiting for it to come into
the correct position in the picture, that
makes it one of the few successes I have
had in this chance way. Usually I
form an idea of what 1 want, draw it on
Harry Jones.
paper to find the run of the lines and
the disposition of the masses, then
arrange the subject accordingly. ' Even¬
ing by the Fireside ’ was done this way.
I then do not mind how many exposures
I make to get everything correct. This
picture took about eight, mainly because
the fire would blaze up — during the
time exposure — behind the embroidery,
and spoil the outline of the material.
“ I have also a strong liking for the
portraiture of men, and take a keen
interest in the scientific side, the com¬
position and behaviour of emulsions
and developers, light in relation to
photography, etc.
“ My methods briefly are as follows :
After trying most types of cameras I
use a quarter-plate tropical Soho reflex,
and a half-plate T.-P. stand camera.
The miniature types I found useless to
me, as it is impossible to work on the
negatives. I invariably use Kodak
S.S. Panchro. cut film, develop several
at a time in a dish, or tank them as I
feel inclined, using Borax M.Q. I retouch
the negative with pencil and knife, use
neo-coccin, local reducer and any other
means I can think of to give me the
result I desire. 1 never make contact
prints, but use a projection printer —
diffuser type — using Kodak Royal or
Kovita.
With prints, again, I do not scruple
to use any means 1 can to alter them to
what I desire in the final result, although
I try to keep most of the work on the
negative, because it makes prints easier
to duplicate. I believe that in pictorial
photography everything is - legitimate if
it is not found out, although Mr. Murry
Barford, judging an exhibition, found
me out badly on one occasion.
" I enter regularly in ' The A.P.’
monthly competitions, because I find
it a great incentive to do my best,
and a spur to me, because it means I
must find at least one picture per
month.
" The study of the pictures published
on the art pages, and the ‘ Pictorial
Analysis ’ by ‘ Mentor,’ (read after
forming my own opinion), I find most
helpful ; but sometimes I am reduced
to despair when I feel I can never equal
some of the work reproduced.”

C 1 ^ on the Beginners’ prints reproduced on
oome Critical Comments opposite page.
No. I of the prints reproduced on
the opposite page — ‘‘ 100 Years
of Progress,” by Bertram S.
Unwin — illustrates a case where the
composition suffers from the inclusion
of too much. The building on the
right and that on the extreme left
each exert an equal pull, and the
interest is divided between them.
Parts and the Whole.
With this dual attraction, it is
impossible for the eye to dwell with
satisfaction on the subject. If the
building on the right attracts notice
in the first place, that on the left
draws the attention away, and, in the
alternative, if the structure on the
left claims the first attraction, it does
not hold it because of the pull of the
other.
What has actually happened is that
there are two compositions in the one
print, either of which could very well
stand alone, and each being better
than the whole.
In the centre there is a comparatively
small building that catches the light.
If the print be trimmed just to the
left of it, an upright picture results on
the left-hand side, in which the tall
erection on the left is the chief, and
the other smaller building, which
then comes near the right-hand edge,
forms a secondary accent and foil
to the larger on the opposite side.
Trimming the remaining right-hand
portion of the whole so as just to miss
the same centre building, the domed
erection towards the right then is
able to stand alone as the centre of
interest. Being placed nearer the
centre, it does not need a supporting
accent as was the case with the left-
hand side, and, as it is more sym¬
metrical in shape, its form •attracts
and holds the attention in itself.
Interest Divided.
If the print be masked in accdrdance
with the suggested trim, the two
compositions will readily be discernible,
and the superiority of each over the
existing whole will be apparent.
A somewhat similar state of affairs
arises in connection with No. 6,
" Fair Weather at Sea,” by J. Allan
Cash, where there is a division of
interest occasioned by the approxi¬
mately equal pull of the funnel and
ventilator. The funnel is the bigger,
and it is felt that it should claim the
major share of the attention, but the
ventilator is in the stronger position,
being more in the picture, and,
though the smaller, yet is equally
assertive.
As will have been gathered from
the remarks on the preceding print,
there should be only one predominating
object. Here, neither can claim pre¬
cedence over the other, whereas, had
the relative positions been changed
and the funnel were placed nearer
the centre, the ventilator occurring
closer to the margin, the greater
magnitude and better placing would
have enabled it to become the more
important of the two elements.
With a subject so near and filling
so much of the picture space, it is,
admittedly, difficult to ensure that
each element of the composition will
fill the place it should. Space on
board ship, too, is very much re¬
stricted ; but, if at all possible, it would
have been wiser to have chosen a
standpoint somewhat farther off.
A Margin for Error.
Such an expedient would provide
a margin for slight errors of this
description, , for whatever faults in
placing that occur could be corrected
by subsequent trimming.
As the print stands, however, it is
impossible to take anything away
without increasing the existing sense
of restriction, and the placing, there¬
fore, must be left as it is. In the case
of No. 4, “ Paris,” by F. Mason, the
wisdom of the expedient is demon¬
strated, for, trimmed as it is now
shown, the proportions allocated to
the framing gateway are just about
right, and, although the negative
would embrace a greater area, it is not
only inconceivable that any addition
would enhance the composition, but
the wisdom of leaving a margin is
conclusively proved by the sense of
rightness which the arrangement con¬
veys.
The dimensions of No. 3, “ Youth
and Age,” by D. Hastings, are tiny,
but it is wonderfully good from the
technical point of view, and, the
subject, except for an excess of fore¬
ground, well seen and composed.
II7
A trim just to clear the figure “ 3 ”
is enough to put matters right, but
it is somewhat of a misfortune that
the slight intrusions on each side were
not foreseen and avoided.
The feeling of sunshine is nicely
conv'eyed, and, from all appearances,
it would seem that the subject would
stand enlargement to a not incon¬
siderable extent.
A Sense of Light.
In No. 7, “ Cumulo Nimbus,” by
R. K. PiLsbury, the motive is an
effect of light rather than sunshine,
and, although the foreground is rather
too scanty, the sense of luminosity is
quite well suggested. Unless, how¬
ever, Mr. Pilsbury was in the happy
position of having a lens of shorter
focus with him, it would scarcely be
possible to arrange for the inclusion of
a better proportion of landscape, for
none of the sky could be curtailed,
and no feasible adjustment of view¬
point would offer any improvement.
Still, the lack of a foreground is a
drawback, and, on another occasion,
it may be found possible to arrange
matters in more pleasing proportions.
" Coaling Ship, Bombay ” (5), by
G. Martin, is not without attraction,
the reflections providing the reason,
but there is a recurrence of the sug¬
gestion of a division of interest, in a
measure, between the lights on the
water above and below the barges.
If there were a gap between the latter
so that there were a definite con¬
nection between the two portions,
the suggestion would not arise, and,
as the boats would be moving at
intervals, the opportunity of obtaining
such an arrangement might have
occurred had it been waited for.
Conception and Execution.
The idea behind No. 2, ” The Night
Watchman,” by Miss Joan A. Ellis,
is good, but from the artistic point of
view the execution is weak, for the
light on the figure’s leg is stronger
than that falling on his face. The
reverse, of course, should obtain, and,
if the illumination were flashlight, it
might have been secured by raising
the position of the flash, a state of
affairs that, in view of the height of
the fire bucket, would not be difficult
to arrange. “ Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“PAINTING THE MAST,” by S. J. Kharegat.
IN making a comparison between
this picture and that which was
discussed in our last week’s issue,
it will be observed that there is a
certain siiuilarity of subject inasmuch
as in both cases a man at work is
depicted. It is also interesting to
observe that here, again, the line of
sight is directed upwards, and, as in
the former case, the departure
from the normal is justified
by good placing, while none
of the disabilities arising from
distortion is manifest.
Similarities and
Differences.
It may be, perhaps, that
an equal degree of originality
is not attained in this in¬
stance, partly because' the
subject differs in class and is
not quite so rare as the other,
and partly on account of the
fact that there is not the
same distinction of treatment ;
but, all the same, it is an
excellent effort, and its appeal
is by no means inconsiderable.
The light tone of the lower
portion, taken in conjunction
with the weighty tone at the
top, invites a suspicion of
instability ; but, on the other
hand, the representation is
graced by the presence of an
effect of sunshine, which,
of course, could not be in¬
corporated in the other. It
lends a beauty that can
scarcely be equalled by any
other means, and, it will be
seen, takes maximum effect
upon the body of the figure ( i ) .
It naturally enhances the
human attraction which he excites,
and places his importance, as the
centre of interest, beyond question.
His dominance is still further em¬
phasised by the fact that in his figure
is also the greatest depth of tone in
the whole picture, the presence of
the two extremes in conjunction
affording one of the most powerful
concentrations possible.
Strength of Placing.
His placing, too, is quite good, being
sufficiently near one of the four inter¬
sections of divisions of thirds to avoid
any suspicion of weakness ; but, having
regard to the presence of the block (2)
on the other side of the mast, it would
seem to be preferable that he should
be placed farther over to the right
and slightly nearer the centre.
The suggested alteration could be
effected by adding about half an inch
to the left-hand side and trimming a
similar amount from the right. At
present, the block is almost more
forcefully placed than the figure,
and, although the other factors re¬
ferred to ensure his principality, the
revision corrects the relationship be¬
tween the two items in question. The
composition, too, appears more finished
and complete ; and it is also possible
that the other point under criticism,
in connection with a certain lack of
stability, might be partially countered,
if not entirely removed, by arranging
I18
for the tone of the sky toward the
base to be darkened, particularly in
the neighbourhood of the two corners.
It could be done, providing care
were taken, without introducing any
unnatural appearance, and might be
achieved either by the application of
oil pigment, by means of an air-brush,
or by local extra printing. The precise
method is unimportant, and
the most familiar is likely
to be the most successful.
The slight darkening would
have a further advantage, in
that it would enhance the
present suggestion of sunshine
and enable the sky to convey
a greater sense of luminosity
and light. The values of all
the subtle gradations of the
lights and shadows on the
figure, the mast, and in the
sky itself, would attain a
higher value by virtue of
the additional contrast. Be¬
sides this, the alteration would
tend to afford a still greater
concentration to the central
portion of the picture and so
confer a still further emphasis
on the figure.
Opposition of Line.
A minor feature, but one
which is worthy of notice, is
the way the lines of the
clouds happen to fall. The
main lines of the picture are
vertical and horizontal, the
mast and rigging being up¬
right and the crow’s nest
almost level. Towards the
lower centre the lines of the
clouds are roughly horizontal,
and not only do they empha¬
sise the strength of the vertical line
of the mast by force of opposition,
but they lead up to and enhance
the dominance of the figure.
Up above, where the horizontal
line of the nest meets the mast — a
factor which heightens the importance
of the vertical line of the latter — the
directional tendency imparted by the
clouds is somewhere about midway
between the two other directions.
Here, yet again, the value of opposition
as a source of strength is demonstrated.

though Weather at the Seaside
By R. A. ISAAC.
WHEN taking a seaside holiday,
calm, sunny weather is very
desirable, but it cannot be de¬
nied that the sea under such conditions
is apt to be flat and uninteresting from
a photographic point of view.
However, directly a good stiff
breeze springs up from the right
quarter endless opportunities are
offered for obtaining some really
striking snapshots, and whilst a rocky
coast will provide a more pictorial
setting, the more conventional prom¬
enade and breakwater are not to be
despised.
Large rollers coming inshore often
make good pictures, and when they
break against the sea wall the columns
of spray which they throw up in an
infinite variety of forms provide
pictures which add much interest to
the holiday album.
The Sea Wall.
A very fast shutter is by no means
essential for this kind of work, and
the simplest camera can be used
with success ; the illustrations shown
here were taken
with an inexpen¬
sive film camera,
the exposure being
i/rooth of a sec¬
ond at f/8. The
secret of obtaining
results showing the
minimum of move¬
ment lies in judg¬
ing the correct
moment to release
the shutter.
When watching
breaking waves it
will be noticed that
when the spray is
at its height there is a moment when,
before it falls again, the water is
apparently stationary, and this is the
time to “ snap.” When the exposure

has been made, do not hurry away to
another viewpoint, as one breaking
wave is never the same as the next ;
in fact, a whole spool of film may well be
exposed at one spot which can result
in a series of entirely different pictures.
One of the best viewpoints is from
the “ sea ” side of the subject (see
illustration “ The Sea Wall ”). This is
not always easy, but often a curve in
the promenade or a projection in the
coast will allow of this. Striking re¬
sults, too, are obtainable by photo¬
graphing against the light.
One word of warning — keep your
camera covered up as much as possible
between exposures, for a rough sea
gives rise to vast quantities of fine,
misty spray which is not at all good
for the metal work, and it may also
cloud your lens.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINfi APPARATUS.
Cinematography
The Technique of Swing Shots “ ACTINOGRAPHIST.”
Even the most casual use of “swivel” shots is anything but a simple matter ; and where the camera-man desires
to attempt ambitious work it becomes necessary to understand something of the technique of the device.
SWING or " swivel ” shots are
amongst the most valuable of
all camera devices used in cine¬
matography. They enable the director
to introduce new scenes and sequences
without having to countenance the
slow-down effect of direct cutting.
They enable him to point the relation¬
ship between one phase of action
and another through the line of least
resistance ; and they are helpful in
creating that movement within the
film itself which distinguishes cinema
from the fixed stage technique.
Being a valuable device, the swing
shot must be used as frequently as
occasion demands ; but — as in the
case of most other valuable devices —
its employment can easily be over¬
done. For example, the “ swivel ”
must not be adopted merely to keep
the principal action character in the
centre of the frame. And it must
never be employed to “ head-off ”
characters which will later appear to
continue the action from an earlier
scene.
When to Swing.
The correct times to swing the
camera are easily recognised by ex¬
perienced workers, though they may
not be very apparent to the raw
beginner.
They are indicated by particular
phases or features of the production
itself, and 'these should be distinguished
in the script.
As a more general rule, however, it is
safe to swing the camera whenever
a comprehensive shot of any panoramic
setting is called for. It is unwise in
such shots to include a great deal of
incident ; but where this cannot be
avoided there should at least be no
attempt to include the high-spots of
action.
The device may further be used in
various contingencies where a shot
by any of the more orthodox methods
would be quite out of the question.
Thus the swing shot may be used to
“ follow through ” in a case of violent
action (as in shots of horse-racing or
athletics taken on a circular course,
etc. — where familiar cutting methods
would delay the tempo and change the
very nature of the action itself).
Vertical Swings.
All sorts of movements are possible
in cinematography, and the camera
can be controlled in vertical as well
as in horizontal swings.
Vertical swings, however, are far
more difficult to operate than are
the straightforward “ swivels ” ; and
it is certain, too, that their use is less
frequently indicated. Amongst the
professionals who have any real grasp
of cinematography, Eric von Stro¬
heim makes glorious use of the
vertical swing ; and I would recom¬
mend his earlier work in particular to
those who wish to study the effects
and moods of this rather uncommon
device.
In using the vertical swing, one
may have to change the focussing as
the camera sweeps upwards or down¬
wards to remote or adjacent scenery.
This advice becomes especially im¬
portant where the latter is very close,
or where a modern lens of long focus
or narrow angle is being used.
Care.
In all work of this description, the
exercise of reasonable care is essential
to securing good results. Hence the
camera should not be held in the hand
or on a unipod — for the former may
be a trifle unsteady, and the latter is
productive of a slower though still
definite swaying which is quite un¬
avoidable unless the worker can brace
himself against a reasonably firm
support.
Even where a tripod is used, there
is no guarantee of perfect swinging.
This can be assured only where the
instrument is provided with the double-
A simple action subject for which the swing shot can be effectively employed. The
approach! of the flock, the left turn, and the progress of the leading sheep for some
distance, will convey a good idea of pictorial movement. At the same time the main
subject is kept within the frame throughout the entire action.

movement head and where the static
level is properly checked beforehand.
Without these precautions, the move¬
ment may appear unpleasantly jerky,
and there may be a tendency for the
horizon to rise or drop immediately
the swing is commenced.
It will be seen from this that even
the most casual use of the device is
Centring
ONE of the essentials to brilliant
projection is a properly centred
lamp. Without this, the pic¬
tures may be well lighted at one
corner, but dimmer in the middle,
and quite dull towards the farther
corners of the frame.
Such a state of affairs is, of course,
quite easy to recognise — even without
its familiar accompaniment of a rain-
bow-like spectrum ; but it is more
usual to find the lamp only slightly
out of centre, and in this condition it is
not easy to detect the fault.
anything but a simple matter ; and
where more ambitious work is at¬
tempted it becomes necessary to
employ a particular technique accord¬
ing to the effect it is desired to create.
Much can be done by selecting a
difficult problem and tackling it on
paper — though easily the most skilful
cinematographers of my acquaintance
It is dangerous, of course, and useless
to look through the lens and into the
lighted lamp, but an image of the
filaments may be thrown on the screen
and examined for perfect centring.
This can be done by holding a positive
lens or a reading glass immediately iij
front of the lens and altering its
position until a well defined image of
the filaments is seen on the screen.
In all cases of direct lighting, the
filaments should present a square face
to the front of the screen. To make
any adjustment, it is inadvisable to
are those who persevere through
sustained and continued practical
work.
Note. — Swings and swivel shots
are not strictly “ pans.” The latter
are in reality long tracking shots
taken at right angles to the set ; and
in the big studios they are beginning
to recognise this interpretation.
tamper with the lamp itself ; instead,
the holder — which is usually adjust¬
able through a friction grip — should
be brought correctly into position.
The adjustments should be studied
beforehand to enable them to be done
neatly when the lamp is alight.
Not only the screening, but the
lamp itself can suffer through bad
centring, hence it is important to
correct all such faults without delay.
And it is important, of course, to look
for faulty centring immediately a new
lamp is installed in the projector.
the Projection Lamp “ COMPUR.”
The New “Dufaycolor” 16-mm. Film
The long-promised ‘‘ Dufaycolor ” 16-mm. film is at last
on the market, and the amateur cinematographer can
now obtain pictures in full colour with the greatest ease.
The wide-aperture lens and the projector with a high-power
illuminant are not necessary for the ‘‘ Dufaycolor ” film ; the
speed and transparency of the product enables the man with
the f/3.5 camera and the normal-power projector to do colour
work with every assurance of success. He will be able to
secure pictures of a brilliance and a fidelity to nature which
have hitherto been unobtainable, except under conditions
that in. many cases have been prohibitive.
"Dufaycolor” 16-mm. film is not just a fair-weather film.
It can be used under a widely varying range of conditions and
throughout the year. Successful pictures have been made
with it in the depth of winter and in the rain, under clouded
skies and clear. One of its outstanding features is the retention
of luminous liquid tones in the shadows, giving a result very
different from the harsh effects so often associated with colour
processes.
A filter is used in the camera when taking " Dufaycolor ”
pictures, but it is a simple, inexpensive, one-colour filter.
The film is a reversal film, and when it has been processed the
colours are in the film itself, and can be examined when holding
the film in the hand. This is a great advantage in editing;
the full effect of the colour can be taken into account when
cutting from shot to shot.
Because the colour is inherent in the film no filter is necessary
in projection. This is not only a saving of expense to the user,
but also avoids the troublesome difficulties of micrometer
projector lamp adjustment which is associated with the use
of the projection filter.
In fact, in both taking and projection, " Dufaycolor ” in¬
volves no more trouble than black-and-white film. The
amateur cin6 worker who uses it can press the release button
of his camera with the assurance that, unless he does something
really foolish, he will secure a pleasing colour picture every
time, and he will be able to show it with the aid of any normal-
power projector. This will appeal to thousands of amateurs
who do not wish to buy new apparatus.
It is sold at a price which is acceptable to every amateur
cine user, 21s. per 50-ft. reel, and this charge includes the
processing of the film ready for projection. This processing
will be carried out at the " Dufaycolor ” Processing Station
at Elstree, which is the most recent and up-to-date establish¬
ment of its kind, and is staffed by trained experts who know
how to get the utmost quality out of every spool sent in to them,
while at the same time the facilities at their command enable
them to carry out the work with celerity. This will be
appreciated by all who try the new film.
The film is now on sale at many dealers, and is obtain¬
able direct from Spicer-Dufay (British), Ltd., Astor House,
Aldwych, London, W.C.2.
News from the Clubs m. a. lovelLburgess.
I AM interested to hear that a cine
society has been started in Aberdeen,
with Mr. Henderson of King Street
as a keen member.
Work is at a standstill at the Weymouth
Cin6 Club owing to the death of Claude
Varlow, who was directing the club’s film.
"Asa matter of fact he was the centre
post around which the club revolved,”
writes Mr. E. Lightfoot, " so you can
guess how we feel. He was an electrical
sound engineer, and he was planning an
entirely new system of sound-on-film for
9.5-mm. film. The whole thing is now
lost for ever, and the amateur film
world is very much the loser.”
On Saturday evening the Cine and
Radio sections of the Golders Green and
Hendon Radio Scientific Society met at
the Regal Cinema, Golders Green, for
the presentation of prizes distributed by
Lady Rogers and Sir Leonard Rpgers.
A number of amateur films were' pro¬
jected. The programme was opened
with " Pathe Gazette, June 1934,” fol¬
lowed by " Trees,” an abstract film by
The Ardadians, a recently formed London
amateur group ; " Almost an Accident,”
a comedy, also by The Ardadians ;
" Hendon Air Pageant,” a record of
this event made in 1931 by one of the
section’s members, and "All is not Gold,”
the prize-winning film of the Brondes-
bury Cine Society.
Unfortunately, it was not possible
to screen any part of the documentary
film on which the cine section is working,
owing to the fact that sufficient material
was not completed in time. Shooting is
going forward, however, and another
film, dealing with the London Docks, is
contemplated.

The Editor is not responsible for
the opinions of his correspondents.
A SIMPLE CINfi EXPOSURE TABLE.
Sir, — The following exposure table is composed from practical
experience, and will, I hope, appeal to many readers of “ The
A.P.,” and serve as a guide for the increasing number of new
cinematographers. The distances and stops are particularly
easy to remember, and as good as a list of subjects. The table
is, of course, for the normal shutter speed.
Exposure table for May to August. Sun shining, but not
necessarily on subject. From four hours after sunrise to four
hours before sunset.
Long distance, over 5 miles, f/22, distant landscape, clouds.
Distant view, i to 5 miles, f/i6, open landscape, shipping.
Middle distance, J to i mile, f/ii, ordinary landscape, open
river.
Near view, 50 yards to ^ mile, f/8, landscape with strong
foreground, well-lighted streets.
Close-up, 5 yards to 50 yards, f/5.6, portraits or groups, not
in too much shade.
Use the next larger stop if the sun is obscured, or between
two and four hours after sunrise or before sunset.
If the largest stop is f/4,-take nothing but open seascape at
sunset and take nothing after sunset. — Yours, etc.,
F. ELLIOTT.
PLATE-CHANGING ON HOLIDAY.
Sir. — In your article last week entitled "Touring with Car
and Camera,” “ Fleetwing ” states ; " In case of plate-users,
hotel bedrooms can be easily converted into dark-rooms for
the purposes of plate-changing.”
I should have thought this change could only have been
effected with very great difficulty, during the daylight hours,
of course ; and I therefore venture to remind your readers of
an old dodge which I as a plate-user have employed many
times in emergency without the least signs of fogging.
The side of the bed is untucked and a coat, preferably an
overcoat, is spread out in the bed between the sheets with the
lining side down and the sleeves hanging out over the edge.
The bed is now tucked up again and the collar of the coat also
tucked in under the mattress ; but the sleeves are allowed to
hang out as stated above.
If the window blinds are drawn to make the room as dark
as possible, and the counterpane allowed to hang down over
the bed (as it would in the ordinary course of events), plate¬
changing may be carried on inside the bed by putting the
arms up through the sleeves into the space between the sheets.
If a lidless box is placed on its side in the bed before the
preparations are made, it will support the weight of the clothes
and prevent fluff being included in the slides.
I take no credit for this wrinkle, as it is by no means a new
one, but it may be of interest to someone if my description is
intelligible. — Yours, etc., C. P. C. MARTIN.
FOGGING ROLL FILMS.
Sir, — I wish I could report as happy an experience of the
use of super-sensitive panchromatic films as your correspondent,
R. E. S. White, in your issue of July iith.
1 over-exposed at first — the speed of these films is surprising.
Also the light conditions on the Italian Riviera may have been
different from those where I live, in the Swiss Alps.
But the real trouble was unquestionably light getting through
the red window at the back of my camera, which at first gave
me rows of little fog spots. My camera is fitted with a cover
over the red window. I exposed a film with this cover closed
the whole time, by counting the turns of the winder — having
first checked it with a film backing. That roll was quite free
from fog. But I hadn’t got my turns quite right, so only got
seven exposures out of an eight roll.
During a day on Lake Maggiore, on our way home, I felt that
I must use up these films, so tried counting the winds nearly
to the end, and just opening the cover very quickly to check
the appearance of the number. The result of that was — no
spots, but a band of fog vertically across the film, of varying
width, presumably according to how long I had the window open.
Summing up my experiences, I have little doubt that by
having a much more opaque window fitted, I should be able
to use these S.S. films. But I had a camera with a very opaque
window once, and wasted film over and over again because it
was literally impossible to see the numbers without holding the
camera in bright sunlight, which is not always available.
This must not be taken as a condemnation of S.S. films,
for undoubtedly they do extend the range of photography
possible at short notice, and when it is not convenient to incur
the delay of setting up a stand to make a time exposure.
But it seems to me that the use of these things, if it is going tO'
increase, calls for a development of some automatic winding
device, or even a simple device for winding to a dial, which
would obviate the need of tha red window altogether.— -Yours,
etc., ROGER C. CARTER.
FOG-PROOF CAMERA WINDOWS.
Sir — With regard to the controversy about fogging through
windows that are not panchromatic-proof, may I suggest that
the simplest way of obviating the trouble is by having red
windows that are panchromatic -proof. The remedy is with
the manufacturer.
Messrs. Zeiss Ikon have realised this for some time, and I
have never had any fogging from this source, though I have-
used pan. films in one or other of their Ikontas for more than
a year. It only remains for others to follow their example.
Covers to windows are a great nuisance, especially as they have-
a tendency to work loose. — Yours, etc., K. LATIFI.
THE PERFECT CAMERA.
Sir, — After twelve rnonths’ experience with a 24x36 mm.
camera I will follow the example of Mr. F. A. Samuel, and give
my ideas of the sort of miniature camera I should produce if
I were a designer.
My ideal miniature would, in general form, follow fairly
closely the Leica or Contax, and would have coupled focussing,
focal-plane shutter, automatic film-shift and quick-change
lens flange. It has always seemed to me that the spooling
arrangements of these cameras are complicated and expensive-
to produce, so my camera would use ordinary V.P. film on
which it would give twelve pictures about 40-mm. square..
The only drawback to the square picture (its inartistic shape)
disappears during the enlarging process, and the advantages
are many. The covering power of the lens would be fully
utilised, and as the camera would always be used in the hori¬
zontal position, the contortions at present necessary when using
an ever-ready case and a broad-brimmed hat would be obviated..
Most important, the rising front would be possible ; but if 1
found that the auto-coupling rendered this too complicated,
1 would strongly consider giving the lens a permanent rise of
a few millimetres above the centre of the film.
Twelve exposures at a loading is quite ample for the average
amateur, but I should approach the film manufacturers with a
view to their providing a 24-exposure spool, and should build
my camera to take this size if and when it became available.
I see no reason why such a camera, complete with f/3.5 lens,
should not be produced for about £15. Messrs. Dallmeyer, to-
mention only one firm, already supply a complete " battery ”
of suitable lenses at quite favourable prices.
I -suggest the price {£15) not without some knowledge of
production methods, and bearing in mind the fact that present
prices bear no relationship to the value of the goods. For
instance, a well-known camera sold in England at £21 costs the
German amateur £'] los. (in his own currency, of course), while
an exposure meter, costing £^ 5s. here, is, I am told, sold in
Germany for RM 28, which to the German purchaser represents-
28s.
There would, I feel sure, be a good market for an English-
made precision camera on the lines I suggest, but it would be
very interesting to have the views of other readers. — Yours, etc.,.

‘Deader.^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
Gfneral. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : *' The Editor, The Amateur Photoiirapher
and Cinematosrapher, Dorset House, Stamford Street. London, S.E.i," and in every case, without exception, must
f?i\e the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper onlv. Letters or
commurtications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
]egaJ responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
t without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See '■ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as " How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelo|>es should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but camiot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Fine-grain Developer.
Some years ago Messrs. Kodak suggested a simple
metol developer for fme-grain negatives, but I
cannot trace it. Have you any recollection of
it ? P. L. C. (London.)
One such formula, at any rate, was
made up as follows :
Water to . . . . . . 14 oz.
Metol . . . . . . 8 grs.
Sodium sulphite (anhy.) . . 400 grs.
Borax . . . . . . 8 oz.
The composition of this indicates that
it will be slow in building up the necessary
density, but the silver will certainly be
reduced in a very fine form.
Trouble with Bellows,
I find that sometimes the back of the bellows of
my camera will cut off a strip of the picture.
Is there any way of making sure that this will
not happen ? C. S. (London.)
This trouble generally arises when a
camera with long extension, and therefore
long bellows, is used at normal extension.
The remedy is to have two rings attached
to the bellows by lugs and pieces of
elastic, and to pull these forward and
hook them on to convenient projections
on the front. Many cameras have these
already fitted, and in some cases there
are hooks which automatically disen¬
gage themselves as the front is racked
out, and engage again when it is racked
in and closed up.
Paper Negatives.
I notice in your paper a reference to paper nega¬
tives, presumably for contact printing from
enlargements. This seems interesting. Could you
give me some information, and tell me the com¬
position of the varnish used ?
A. C. A. (Kensington.)
Most of the large bromide paper makers
have a brand for negative-making, and
with it you will find sufficiently full
instructions as to procedure to enable
you to set to work. Methods of making
the paper more transparent are also
described.
Uranium Toning.
What is the procedure for getting reddish tones
on bromide prints with uranium ?
W. F. (Huddersfieid.)
The colour is obtained by subsequent
toning of a black print. Make up two
solutions :
A. Uranium nitrate . . 90 grs.
Water . . . . . . 20 oz.
B. Potassium ferricyanide 90 grs.
Water . . . . . . 20 oz.
Take equal parts of 'A and B, and for
each ounce of the mixture add 20
minims glacial acetic acid. When the
desired colour has been reached, wash
the prints in changes of still water until
the high-lights are cleared. The prints
will “ live ” longer if they are then
given five minutes in :
Hypo . . . . . . I oz.
Potassium metabisulphite 70 grs.
Water . . . . . . 20 oz.
Subsequent washing must again be in
still water only.
Poppy Oil.
In some recipes for “ dope ” for bromide prints
I find that poppy oil is mentioned instead of
linseed oil. Is there any advantage in this ?
Where can it be obtained ? F. E. A. (Bath.)
Poppy oil is clearer than linseed oil,
and has not the same tendency to turn
yellow in course of time. The amount
left on a print is so small, however, that
this is of no practical importance..,
This, and the other materials used, are
stocked by artists’ colourmen.
Books on Dark-rooms.
Can you give me the names of any good books on
construction and layout of dark-rooms ?
R. E. O. W. (Sherborne.)
For literature on the subject of dark¬
rooms and their equipment we should
advise you to communicate with Messrs.
Henry Greenwood & Co., Ltd., of 24,
Wellington Street, Strand, London,
W.C.2.
Dark-room Walls.
The only available place I have for a dark-room
has white enamelled walls. Will this matter
when developing or enlarging ?
W. H. B. (Reading.)
If you are suspicious of trouble in your
dark-room «ts a result of the white
enamel you ' may safely dismiss this
idea from your mind as regards develop¬
ing plates. If the light from your lamp
is safe in the ordinary sense of the word
no harm will result from any reflection
of that light, provided the usual pre¬
cautions are taken during development.
When it comes to enlarging, however,
the case is different. You will here be
using actinic light, which may quite
possibly be reflected from the white walls
on to the bromide paper, and so fog it
during the exposure. We should think,
however, it would be quite possible to
put up some sort of a screen near the
easel so as to prevent this happening.
Exposures Abroad.
Can you give me a table of exposures for use in
Madeira ? L. E. (London.)
There cannot possibly be such a
thing as a table of exposures for all sub¬
jects, lights, plate speeds and stops; and
the only thing we can advise is that you
should use an actinometer. This will
help you by giving you the photographic
value of the light at any particular
time, and, according to the instructions
with the meter you use, you must make
the necessary allowance for type of
subject, stop used, and so on.
Patchy Negatives.
■ What has happened to cause the patches on the
enclosed film ? How can I remove them ?
A. E. P. (London.)
There are indications which suggest
that your negative may not have been
properly fixed and washed. The general
markings like patches of mildew on the
film, however, are not uncommon with
films that have been kept a long time,
especially where they are accessible to
damp, and to tropical conditions under
which you say these were stored. If
you rub the surface over quickly with a
soft rag slightly moistened with Baskett’s
Reducer we believe that the whole of
these marks will disappear. Anything
that has resulted from imperfect fixing
and washing will probably be beyond
remedy.
Quantities of Solution.
Will you inform me if 5 oz. of developer per 10
half-plate bromide prints, and 1,000 c.c. of fixing
solution per 50 prints, will be reasonable
quantities ? D. J. S. (Bordon.)
We consider that you are cutting it
pretty fine both with the developer and
the fixing solution, and particularly with
the latter, especially as there is no need
for economy in this case. As regards
the developer, it is easy to see when it
is becoming exhausted, and as soon as
it noticeably slows down, or there is any
falling off in the colour, we should
advise you to use it no further. The
acid fixing bath is more difficult to check,
and as its work is of such importance
it is advisable to keep well on the safe
side.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private adver¬
tisers having goods for sale, offering to take such
goods in exchange for others, or to purchase for
cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

Good snapshots of children are admittedly difficult to get. Yet the Rolleiflex succeeds, without
any special skill on the photographer’s part. To get unusual holiday pictures, equal in charm
and merit to the lovely child pictured here, you must get a Rolleiflex : its unique features
(fully explained in the brochure) will automatically register success with every picture you take.

Y ou take pictures on
PANATOMIC
o FAR as sheer
beauty and brilliance of
tone distinguish ‘pic¬
tures’ from ‘snapshots,’
“Panatomic” gives you
a picture every time. Fine detail, subtle gradation, pearly
high-lights, soft shadows— those characteristics that
collectively make up ‘quality’— are present in every
negative on “Panatomic” Film.
The new emulsion makes the difference. “Panatomic” is
a fully Patichromatic film of almost Atomic-^nQ grain
(that makes it superb for enlargements). And it is fast ;
double-coated ; anti-halation backed.
“Panatomic” has all the virtues. Use it for your
finest work.

SUPER IKONTA
In pre-Super Ikonta days the user of a roll-film camera had
to depend upon his focussing scale for focussing. This in¬
volved either judging or measuring the distances. But no one
can judge distances with certainty — it usually resolves itself into
guesswork. Zeiss Ikon in their Super Ikonta have completely
removed the focussing difficulty. A glance through the distance
meter, a turn of the milled knob, and the lens is automatically
focussed correctly on the subject you wish to photograph.
The Super Ikonta distance meter is a complete departure from previous types,
and is so strongly constructed that it cannot get out of order with ordinary
usage. For touring, motoring and hiking the Super Ikonta is an ideal companion.

WEDNESDAY, August 8th, 1934-
Copyright— Registered as a Newspaper
for transmission in the U.K.
WE have already reminded
readers of the closing date
for entries to the exhibition
of the Royal Photographic Society,
and we now offer a similar reminder
for the London Salon of Photo¬
graphy. Wednesday, August 29th, is
the last day for receiving pictures
at the Gallery, 5a, Pall Mall East,
London, S.W. We would also
advise those submitting work to
read the particulars given on the
entry form most carefully, as any
irregularity in procedure may
invalidate the entry, and there
may be no time to rectify any
mistake made.
Submarine Artists.
Nassau, the capital of the British
Crown colony of the Bahamas,
seems to be, by all accounts, a
submarine paradise for artists, for
we read that artists are submerging
themselves in the sea there, careening
about among the coral reefs, and
exploring the secrets of the vast
under- water life which just here is
very beautiful and fantastic. Hither¬
to it has been sufficient to spy on
these coral gardens from the vantage
of a glass-bottomed boat, but the
more energetic explorers are now
donning the diving helmet and
working freely with their water¬
proofed cameras in a world of
marine beauty almost unbelievable
in detail and perfection. The coral
is so wonderful and the living
denizens are so brilliant and curious
“ that only the faithful trust¬
worthiness of the camera can con¬
vince you of their reality.” We
can believe that the devotees of the
moving-picture camera dart about
in the translucent water, but when
the enthusiastic writer tells us that
painter artists also go down with
their brushes and palettes to get
The Lifeboatman’s Story.
An article on “Old Fishermen as Models
for Picture-making" appears on another
page in this issue.
VoL. LXXVIII. No. 2387.
the colours, and that it is no un¬
common sight to see a paint-brush,
which has escaped the submarine
artist’s hand, floating on the surface
of the water — well, there are more
things in heaven and earth, and in
the sea under the earth, than are
dreamt of in our philosophy.
Fire !
With modern colour-sensitive
plates, a motor car, and reasonable
opportunities of being on the spot,
what a collection a specialist might
accumulate of photographs of fires.
And with some sense for pictorial
effect and capacity for selection in a
rapidly changing scene, how pleasing
some of the resulting pictures might
be. The other evening a gorgeous
spectacle was presented by a factory
fire on the fringe of West London.
It was not just a mass of smoke with
a base of flame, but in the shape of
the smoke clouds as they formed
themselves above the burning build¬
ing, in their density from deep black
to feathery whiteness, and in the
astonishing colours — brilliant greens
and sultry violets — ^which the con¬
flagration presented there were
pictures galore. It was astonishing
how quickly the resources of Press
photography were mobilised, and in
addition to the cameras on ground
level, two aeroplanes circled round
the burning mass, coming down as
low as possible, evidently for the
purpose of taking photographs.
Photographers on Honeymoon.
The former rector of a village in
Northamptonshire tells us that while
he was at the rectory there many
couples on honeymoon would make
their way through the village, point
their cameras — or surely their one
camera — up at the church tower,
and then pass obliviously on. They
135

^ 6 ClhEMATOGRAPHER a
always took one particular point
of view, and they never troubled
about any other treasure, pictorial
or archa'ological, that the village
might have to reveal. We are left
in some little doubt as to why the
rector should suppose that the
habit is characteristic only of honey-
mooners. Perhaps he was using the
word “ honejnnoon," not in its
usual restricted sense, but in the
sense of “ mooning around,” as
one can do whether one has a camera
or not. -However, this procession of
honeymooners with cameras who
pass through the village of Brington,
near Northampton, had one good
result, for they stimulated the rector
himself to make a thoroughgoing
photographic record of his village,
which has historical associations
with the progenitors of George
Washington, and many other features
of interest. Seldom can a village
have been so excellently and ex¬
haustively photographed and lantern
slided as Little Brington by the Rev.
H. O. Cavalier. The parish church
is rich in wood carvings, and to the
reproduction of its old bench ends
l\Ir. Cavalier has applied himself with
extraordinary skill and success.
Coloured New^spapers.
A lecturer at the Royal Photo¬
graphic Society told us recently
that colour reproduction for printing
purposes is likely to become more
mechanical with the approach of
printing inks of theoretics efficiency.
One difficulty appears to be the blue.
In order to get anything like decent
reflective power with the blue it is
necessary to use a green-blue ; a
pure blue cannot be got. If the so-
called standard blue is used it is not
actually complementary to the red
filter. That is why the theoretical
colour, if we could see it, would
be rather green than blue. Slow
progress is being made in the repro¬
duction of colour photographs in
newspapers. Here, of course, stabil¬
ity of colours is not a prime essential,
for nobody wants to read a news¬
paper — even a coloured one — the
day after. As the President of the
R.P.S. remarked, if the coloured
pictures they are going to print in
newspapers bear any relation to the
colouring of the articles they write,
the more fugitive the colours the
better ! _
The Stage Version.
The photographer appears upon
the stage in the excellent piece,
“Magnolia Street,” produced
at the Adelphi in London, but as
usual he exhibits methods of posing
and so forth which scarcely linger
in any studio to-day. He poses his
lady in a most grotesque fashion,
hand stiffly on the back of a chair,
and so forth, and then declares that
he cannot take the picture because
it is evening, and such a subject as
herself can receive no justice unless
heaven’s sunlight is available to
illuminate her. The whispered
remark of one of the characters is as
illuminating as the sun itself : “Yes,
he is a photographer, of course, but
is he quite all right ?
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
A Tilting Table.
/ propose to go in rather seriously for all-round architectural
photography, using a suitable half-plate camera with all necessary
movements. I understand that a tilting board is a useful acces¬
sory, but have no experience of it. Can you tell me where to
obtain one, and give a hint or two on its use ?
P. L. B. (Rochester.)
We presume that as you say the camera is a
“ suitable “ one for the purpose it has considerable
rise to the front, a swing back, a swing front, and
has extensions. that will allow of the use of lenses
of various focal lengths. These things will help
you to solve most problems, but there are certainly
occasions when a tilting table is an asset.
In interior architectural work especially it is adv isable to
hav'e a tripod the legs of which can be secured so as to avoid
slipping. Any attempt to tilt the camera by adjusting the
tripod is fraught with danger, and it is to avoid this that the
tilting table is designed.
We think you will have difficulty in obtaining one com¬
mercially. There was never more than a limited demand
for such an article, and those who required one either made it
themselves, or had one made to their own specification. The
construction is simple, and we reproduce a diagram of one as
recommended and used by Mr. Ernest Marriage, a well-
known expert on architectural photography.
It is essentially two stout boards, preferably of clamped
mahogany, hinged together as shown. The lower board is
bushed so that it can be screwed down on to the usual tripod
top, and it remains in a horizontal position. The upper
board can be raised to any angle up to 90°. The camera is,
of course, attached to this upper board by the usual tripod
screw, so that as the board is raised the camera will be tilted
so that the lens points upwards or downwards according to the
way the camera rests on the board. In the extreme position
the lens will point up to the roof or down to the floor.
The upper board is held at any desired angle by a slotted
strut, or, what is advisable, by two such struts, one on each
side. These struts work on the same principle as those used
for supporting the back of a field camera, so that the whole
of the necessary fittings can be obtained without any trouble
commercially.
It is advisable to have two positions, as shown, for these
struts. In the diagram the strut is in solid black in the position
for a moderate tilt, and in outline in the position for the
maximum rise. Sockets are permanent, but the struts,
clamping screws and wing-nuts are removable. The whole
apparatus packs flat, and takes up comparatively little space
in the case.

ta 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER g
to the Snapshotter
By “AN EX-LAGGARD.”
There are thousands of us.
We are the camera users who,
after years of snapshotting,
are still beginners. We make many
exposures, which constitute a succes¬
sion of blanks and prizes, and, when
an e.xtra special one comes along,
the tragedy of it is that we know
not why, and therefore cannot
profit by our success.
Sometimes I would meet other
workers who were much “slicker”
than I in making their pictures ;
and yet with their speed they com¬
bined a certainty of result that
roused my deepest envy. Whenever
I stopped to wonder why, I realised,
of course, that it was just sheer
ignorance of photography that was
the cause of the trouble, and at last
I one day sat down to think it all
out. At this stage one either throws
up the hobby entirely or else sets
about it in good earnest.
The Aid of Books.
I started on my career of emanci¬
pation by taking The Amateur
Photographer and Cinematographer ,
and I also bought a copy of “ Hand
Cameras ” and read it thoroughly.
Ignorant though I was, I found in it
a wealth of understandable infor¬
mation, easy to remember and use.
Next I invested in a “ Burroughs
and Wellcome ” Handbook with an
e.xposure calculator fixed in its
cover. Its pages contain a fund of
valuable data, very clearly expressed,
and the calculator cut out exposures
by guess for good and all.
If you start your serious photo¬
graphy on these lines, you will have
made a very profitable investment.
Probably one qf the first striking
features you encounter as you con
books for information will be the
amazing difference in the speeds
and types of negative material
available. It has often been empha¬
sised in this journal that the beginner
should choose one, or, at the most,
two different sorts of plates or films,
as the case may be, and learn these
thoroughly before trying others.
This is the soundest advice possible.
We of to-day are very fortunate
in that the most sensitive, highly
orthochromatic negative material
pos.sesses sufficient latitude for the
veriest tyro to use successfully.
Causes of Trouble.
That is sufficient for the moment
on that point. Next let us con¬
sider the view-finder. If, no matter
how carefully you work, the picture
on the negative is different from
that which appeared in the finder,
do not — as I was — be afraid to
doubt the accuracy of the latter.
Frequentlv, especially in the case
of a cheap folding camera, the finder
is not truly positioned, and so
registers a picture with boundaries
which are different from those
appearing subsequently on the neg¬
ative. A dealer will correct the error
for you, or you can do it yourself
bv the method given in “ Hand
Cameras.”
If you get fuzzy negatives, are
you able to discover the reason ?
Actually, detection is quite simple.
There are three possibilities : (a) if
evervthing shows two — or more — ■
images, you have moved the camera
during exposure ; (b) if only one
object is blurred, and the rest of the
picture is sharp, obviously it has
moved ; (c) if one zone of the picture
is sharp, but all the rest, including
the principal object, is blurred, you
have focussed the camera incorrectly.
The cures for (b) and (c) are self-
evident ; as regards (a), one must
remember that it is possible for
movement of the camera to show
on the negative even with so short
an exposure as one twenty-fifth of a
second. If, for instance, you simply
press the trigger with the thumb,
the rest of your hand being un¬
supported, the probability is that
you will succeed in tilting the
camera before the shutter closes.
Let us applv the law of action and
reaction, and try another method.
In addition to resting the thumb on
the trigger, place the fingers under¬
neath some part of the camera front.
Then make the exposure by a
squeezing motion in which one
endeavours, as it were, to bring
together those parts in contact,
respectively, with the thumb and
the fingers.
In this way the hand, instead of
the camera itself, takes the reaction
of pressing the trigger, and move¬
ment is avoided. If your camera is
fitted with a fle.xible wire release,
that offers a sure way of avoiding
the trouble.
Pictorial Considerations.
The art of composing a picture
comes gradually, chiefly by learning
from one’s mistakes. From the
first effort at intelligent photography,
however, pav attention to the direc¬
tion from which the subject is lit.
Until a good deal of experience has
been gained, the subject should be
arranged so that the light falls on
it from the front, or else from half¬
way between front and one side.
If portrait work is attempted out
of doors, .sunlight is too harsh for
well-graduated results. Choose a
bright but completely clouded sky
and tr\' to arrange the sitter facing
the clouded sun. If you must, by
reason of circumstances, work in
the sunlight, avoid at all costs the
photographing of a freckled person
at close range.
Another point to watch from the
start is the choice of background.
It is useless, for instance, to photo¬
graph a white cat against a pale-
coloured wall, or to snap the local
sweep as he is passing the grimy
background of the Town Hall. The
use of a camera with a lens of verj'
large aperture to a great extent
obviates the need for a contrasting
tone of background, because its
shallow depth of focus makes
everything but the object concen¬
trated on so blurry and indefinite
that a stereoscopic effect is obtained,
and the object stands out from its
surroundings.
If you cannot afford such an
outfit, don’t despair. By moving
to the left or right, or perhaps
by raising or lowering one’s view¬
point, a suitable bit of contrasting
background can nearly always be
discovered.

ta 6 CIliENATOGRAPHER a I
August 8th, 1934
It may be that your choice of
apparatus will fall on one of the
popular small film cameras of
3x4 cm. or 4|x6 cm. If so,
you will naturally want your best
efforts enlarged. It is well, there¬
fore, to remember that the best
enlargements are made from nega¬
tives which are not too dense. This
entails the avoidance of over¬
exposure, and although modern
plates and films allow amazing lati¬
tude in this respect, it is well to bear
the point in mind.
It is essential, however, to carry
out their development, etc. in exact
accord with the maker’s instruc¬
tions, or the resulting picture will
appear hard, and lack proper gradu¬
ation of the details.
Always aim to produce a negative
in which the high-lights are not
pure white nor the shadows deep
black. Each should show some
detail, while the tones in between
should be nicely graduated. Read
the criticism of prints which appears
in every issue of this journal and
you will soon grasp the principles
which govern such things as the
standpoint for exposure, the choice
of printing paper to suit the nega¬
tive, trimming of prints, and many
other essentials.
If you have not the time — or lack
the facilities — to do your own de¬
veloping and printing, you are, by
some standards, outside the pale of
serious photographers. But, again,
do not despair ; choose a reliable
dealer and let him see that you are
something more than a mere button-
presser. Assimilate all the know¬
ledge you can and so be in a position
to tell him exactly what you want
done — and, moreover, hoi& you want
it done.
Thus you will soon find — as I did —
that a desultory habit has become
an absorbing hobby. So get to it,
you photographic sluggards ; half¬
hearted you will always be until
you learn something of the fascin¬
ating ‘‘ whys and wherefores.”
INTERESTING YOUNG CHILDREN
By R. M. FANSTONE. {jj PHOTOGRAPHY
If a child asks for a camera, do not say “ Wait until you are older ” ; give
it a start at once. The following note is topical at the present time.
Young children often express a
wish for a camera, and this
wish should be gratified. There
can be no doubt that photography is
of great value to young people, a
fact which is now recognised at the
larger schools, and it can be equally
useful in the development of the
younger children. Photography trains
the mind to the need for care in small
details, and the inevitable result of
non-compliance with instructions.
Such cannot fail to be of value to
any young child of normal mental
powers.
It is not suggested that a young
child of the age of seven or nine
should develop its own films, al¬
though I have known of more than
one case where this has been done
successfully, after a demonstration
by a sympathetic grown-up. There
is no reason why the child should not
print from the negatives upon self-
toning papers. These are very simple
to use, and no poisonous chemicals are
necessary such as may endanger the
child or other members of the house¬
hold.
If it is decided to give a child a
camera let it not be thought that
“ anything is good enough.” The
camera should be of simple type, but
it should be in good order, and capable
of producing good results. One of
the better class box cameras, fitted
with a lens of larger aperture than
that fitted to the camera of the older
type, and with a view-finder which is
reasonably accurate, should produce a
high average of good results.
A high-speed film of the ’chrome
type should also be provided, and with
a little help, under-exposed films can
be avoided. In the matter of elemen¬
tary knowledge, I have found some
young children more responsive, judged
by the results, than some people of
mature years.
Although a little guidance may be
carefully offered with regard to subjects
the child should be allowed to take
what it likes. If the subject belongs
to the " impossible ” class, this may
be suggested, but no prohibition
enforced. Experience will soon teach
an intelligent child what photography
can and cannot do, and far more
rapidly than in the case of some
grown-ups, who still " snapshot ”
under conditions which suggest a
belief that the age of miracles is still
with us.
A seaside holiday is a good time to
start a young child on the photo¬
graphic road. The light is good,
subjects are plentiful, and there will
be the encouragement of good results
from the very start.

WHEN one talks of something
being ‘‘ picturesque,” there
is usually conjured up in the
mind a something beautiful. The
implication may be of line, form,
pattern, light and shade, or something
more abstract — “ atmosphere.”
The latter is not always easy to
secure in a photograph. Associations
and romance are interwoven and must
be suggested by includ¬
ing enough, yet not too
much, material in the
picture space. Leave
a little of this atmos¬

of the beholder, and
instead of a bare record
of your subject you
will make it picturesque.

foreground can do this very well. It
prevents the eye from running out at the

A few trees treated after the manner of a

an “ upright ” subject. Water photographs

This need worry no one.
Most of the illustrations

speed of the simple box

may be a little longer than normal
so as to give the little added con¬
trast which yields a brilliant print.
There is no doubt that an enlarge¬
ment is preferable to a contact
print for this class of work. Details

and in spite of the pictorialist’s

long-focus lens. Provided the nega¬

has been used, enlargements of good
technical quality will be secured.
In conclusion, it may be remarked
that on days when the call of the
hills cannot be obeyed, there are
many good photographs to be had
by climbing to the roof of a high
building in any large city. Many
subjects so taken are the pictorial
equal of those taken from
hill-tops, and, in addition, a
glorious breath of fresh air can
frequently be secured from a
lofty roof just as one gets in

ROWLETT.
Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
My first introduction to pictorial photography was a
\ isit paid with a friend to one of the R.P.S. annual
exhibitions at Russell Square. As an amateur with
some training in art, which the claims of business had seriously
curtailed, I somehow acquired the notion that a camera
offered an easy and trouble-free method of satisfying some,
at least, of my pictorial leanings within the limited spare
hours at my disposal.
" My approach to photography being via painting it was
perhaps natural that I should be immediately attracted by the
power of control offered by bromoil and bromoil transfer.
All my early prints were by these two processes, and transfer
remains my favourite rinting method to-day ; though I
fear experience has caused me to revise some of my early ideas
as to the value of control as I formerly understood the term.
Certainly I find nowadays that my most successful transfers
are almost invariably those in which the process has been
used most nearly ‘ straight,’ though, of course, some minor
control of tone values and massing is going on all through the
inking, almost unconsciously.
" It is always difficult for a bromoil worker to persuade the
rest of the photographic brotherhood that such a thing as a
straight bromoil can exist. The plain truth, of course, is
that the bromoil worker has, by force, to take more trouble
over e.xposure and development, both of negative and print,
than the bromide printer.
Though bromoil transfer remains my usual process I no
longer use it exclusively, turning on occasion to Carbro, and
less often to bromide, when the special qualities of these
printing processes seem to accord better with the demands of
the subject.
My negatives are all of 3J X2J size, made with what must
be one of the very earliest specimens of Adams’s
Minex reflex, picked up second-hand. Formerly I
used panchromatic plates exclusively, but a
lengthy experience has finally convinced me that
I can sometimes get better results with contrasty,
long-scale subjects from orthochromatic plates.
In general, my conception of the final print
dates from the time I expose the negative. I
see the subject as a high-key transfer, or as a
low-toned carbon print, or inrwhatever other form
seems most nearly to suit that particular arrange¬
ment of nature. E.xposure and development of
the negative are then proceeded with, keeping this
end always clearly in view.
I use an exposure meter, but only as a guide
to the actinic value of the prevailing light. Actual
exposure times may be less or very much more
than those indicated by the meter, as the subject
and intended treatment may dictate.
My bromoil and transfer methods are normal,
but I have a preference for fairly high key work
on a white paper base. I use Sinclair’s bleacher
and encre machine and taille douce inks. My
transfers are usually made with two pulls through
the press, sometimes three. In Carbro I rather
prefer the method of development on to the
original bromide print, at least for e.xhibition
work. This method seems to give an added rich¬
ness. Most of my Carbros have been made with
Vandyke brown, which has a rather more pleasing
colour than the sepia tissue.
As regards choice of subject I try to keep out
of a groove as far as possible, but subconscious
preference has a way of coming out, and I find on
looking through a number of prints that most of
them seem to come within three categories —
open landscape with sky, figure studies, or old
streets and buildings. I make a very occasional
portrait, usually of the ' character ’ variety, since
I feel that in portraiture proper the amateur has
no hope of competing with the professional.”

Some Critical Comments
on the Beginners’ prints reproduced on
the opposite page.
Autumn,” by w. cocks— No. i
^ of the prints on the opposite
page — has a very good sky,
and the two masses of foliage, that
of the tree on the left and the hedge
on the right, display a good relation¬
ship the one with the other. The
sky tends to lend a pictorial attraction
to the presentation, and the relation¬
ship of the trees, taken in conjunction
with their pleasing shape, affords
the elements of a good composition.
Errors of Judgment.
The print, as a whole, is inclined
to flatness, and appears to be appre¬
ciably overprinted. The defect, per¬
haps, is not so pronounced in the
reproduction as in the original, but it
is discernible, and much of the lumin¬
osity the sky should possess is lost on
account of the degradation of the
sky tone.
It is not altogether a matter of
making a lighter print, for, although
that would be an improvement on the
present rendering, it would not coun¬
teract the lack of vigour and strength.
The sky . would be better, but there
would scarcely be a sufficient depth of
tone in the land.scape. What is
needed is a printing paper of more
vigorous character, or, alternatively,
the development of the negative
should have been allowed to proceed for
a longer time.
In this latter event, the same grade
of printing paper would have provided
a print of an adequate degree of
contrast, but, as the negative has been
finished off, the former expedient only
is available. If adopted, it would
permit the landscape to retain its
present depth of tone ; its detail would
be somewhat more marked ; and, at
the same time, the sky, while retaining
all its gradation, would be rendered
in its proper value.
The whole thing would present a
stronger appearance, and the rendering
would be more in accordance with the
visual impression.
Foreground and Distance.
Attractive as the arrangement of
the composition may be, it would have
been better if the gate in the centre had
been opened before the exposure
were made, for it would afford a
better interconnection between fore¬
ground and distance.
.\t present there is a bit of a jump
between the two, and there is no
definite linking up. The opening of
the gate would provide the needful
link, and then the foreground would
be connected with the distance. The
latter, at present, joins up very well
with the sky, and, with the revision
applied, the whole thing would be
interconnected in all its essential
parts, and unity in a higher degree
would prevail.
The arrangement in No. 6, ” Toilers
of the Soil,” by W. Caig, is of quite
another type, but the connection is
there, and the advantage derived
therefrom is easily seen. The edge
of the line formed by the uncut corn
leads from the right-hand margin of
the picture to the group, from it to the
farmhouse in the distance, where the
lines of the hillsides meet. From them,
there is a natural step to the sky, and
from bottom to top and from right to
left connection is established.
Insomuch, the picture is excellent,
and the way the group has been caught,
too, is good, but, compared with No. i,
the sky is regrettablv lacking in tone,
though what there is is better than
none at all.
Blue Sky and White Paper.
A blue sky, or even one that is
covered with the lightest of fleecy
clouds, cannot be viewed as properly
represented by the white tone of the
paper base of the print.
No matter how bright it seems, there
is always the possibility that something
of a bright tone and nearer to hand
may exhibit a greater brilliance, such
as, for example, a whitewashed wall
in full sunshine. Even in the absence
of any such note to furnish a com¬
parison, a sky that is represented by a
blank white does not strike a note of
truth, and it cannot be too strongly
urged that quite an appreciable degree
of tone is necessary to convey a true
impression of the sky.
A glance at No. 5, “ Castle of
Chillon,” by C. F. Knight, reveals a
similar defect, and, in consequence,
the sunshine on the castle walls does
not tell so well as it would were there
a proper tone in the sky. Besides
this, the subject suffers somewhat
from the intrusions at the top and
left-hand side, and, while it may have
been the only one available, the
viewpoint seems too near.
Restricted Viewpoints.
Where a viewpoint is restricted, an
interchangeable wide-angle lens often
proves a boon, but if not at hand, it
is better to take a little trouble to find
a more satisfactory standpoint than to
make an exposure foredoomed to failure.
It is better to include more than is
wanted than too little, and, in the
case of No. 4, ” Low Tide, Clovelly,”
by H. Hebdon, this, whether inten¬
tionally or not, has been done. There
is more foreground and more on the
right than is strictly nece.ssary, and a
trim of a quarter of an inch from the
base, and half an inch from the right
appreciably improves the composition.
A full eighth of an inch from the top,
to exclude the sky, might also be re¬
moved, but more could scarcely be
taken without inviting a suggestion of
over-restriction.
On the other hand, and while it is
perfectly true that almost the same
result could be obtained by advancing
the viewpoint a little, it is unlikely that
the arrangement could be so precisely
determined before exposure as subse-
quentl34 and the extra margin is
useful inasmuch as it enables those
faults, which often happen just about
the edge, to be e.xcluded.
A Margin for Trimming .
Fogged edges, which arise from
allowing a film to slacken off during
its removal from the camera, provide
an instance of the kind of fault that
is in mind ; but there are also tank
markings and the like which can be
removed if a sufficient margin is
allowed for trimming.
The main advantage, however, lies
in the facility with which the com¬
position can be adjusted, and the
device appears to have been made use
of in No. 2, ‘‘ Collins Street, Mel¬
bourne,” by H. Brush. Here, the
placing of the illumined tower is so'
well judged in relation to the rest
and to the boundaries of the picture
that it is almost certain that the print
was intentionally trimmed to obtain it.
It does not seem that it needs any
alteration at all, and, as the night
effect was well seen, and no less well
recorded, a most successful result has
been secured. ‘‘ Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“ ALL THE WORLD BEFORE THEM,” by S. G. Genty.
WHETHER this subject was
prearranged or a chance
opportunity promptly seized
is not clear from the picture itself,
but it is evident that, however ob¬
tained, an excellent judgment was
exercised in the selection of the precise
moment for making the exposure,
for not only are the figures shown in
a pose that is full of action, but they
are also spaced very well in
relation to each other and to
their position in the picture
space.
Pose and Action.
In the precincts of a station,
where the roof extends over
most of it, it is, of course,
practically impossible to se¬
cure anything in the nature
of an effect of sunshine. Its
absence is felt, but is, to a
not inconsiderable extent,
compensated by showing the
figures in light against a
much darker setting.
There is, too, a certain
subtlety of gradation arising
from a diffused light source.
This is well brought forward,
but would be absent under
the more direct illumination
of sunlight, and, as the latter
is not incorporated, nor is
there any expression of any
other mood of nature to take
effect as the pictorial motive,
the scale in which the figures
are shown may be regarded
as acceptable.
If there were anything in
the nature of an effect, it is
probable that it would neces¬
sitate a reduction in their
size, or a sense of competition might be
occasioned between the figures and
the effect, which would impair its
expression as the motive ; but, as no
effect is existent, the scale is permis¬
sible, and, in fact, their size enables
the human interest excited by the
figures to rank with an effect as the
integral attraction.
One of Three.
The fact that they are represented
on so large a scale, however, renders
it imperative that their poses shall
be beyond criticism. They have been
caught in a period of arrested motion,
but one which indicates that movement
is in progress ; or, put in another way,
their poses are suggestive of action.
An impression of the swing of
rapid walking is conveyed, and, that
being so, the condition precedent is
satisfied, though, as a general rule, a
figure is more satisfactorily shown
facing the viewer than when seen
from the rear.
It will be observed that the group
is composed of three elements, i.e.,
the man (i), the girl (2), and the dog
(3). To accord with our sense of
fifmess, or, in other words, to satisfy
the requirements of the rules of
composition, it is necessary that one
shall be predominant.
An inspection of the print reveals
that the figure of the man seems the
most important ; the girl comes next,
and the dog does not seem to do more
138
than finish off the group. Their rela¬
tive attraction, in the pictorial sense,
is expressed in the order in which
they have been numbered. The figure
(i) claims the greatest share of the
attention because, in the first place,
he is the biggest ; in the second,
because he is the most strongly placed ;
and in the third, because in his figure
are contained the greatest extremes of
tone.
The first and third of these
reasons are self-evident and
obvious at a glance, but his
position is the most forceful
on account of the fact that
his head more closely approxi¬
mates one of the recognised
strong points of a picture
— the points of intersection
formed by divisions of thirds
— than do either of the other
two elements in the group.
Moreover, his pre-eminence
is still further emphasised
by the fact that he is the
leader, and foremost in the
direction of the line of move¬
ment. Next in significance
comes the figure (2). Her
position, being nearer the
centre, is weaker, and, ap¬
propriately enough, the con¬
trast of tone is less than in
the other. She has sufficient
force of attraction to maintain
her importance as the second¬
ary item of the group, while
the dog, as the third element,
is of appreciably less signi¬
ficance, and is only necessary
to complete the numerical
progression, three elements
composing better than two.
In a group of this kind,
where the items are in a definite order
of importance, a third seems essential
to establish the significance of each
element. In a group of two, one is
more important than the other, or
they are equal, but, if a sequence be
felt to be desirable, a third is needed.
A sequence, such as occurs in this
instance, generally has the effect of
imparting a greater sense of order
than where there is no definite pro¬
gression, and it is exceedingly for¬
tunate that it happened in this case.

the opinions of his correspondents .
SUNRISES AND SUNSETS.
Sir, — In reference to the " Topic of the Week ” in " The
A.P.” for July nth, regarding Cromer sunrises and sunsets,
more than forty years ago photographs were taken by me
from the cliffs at Saltburn, Yorkshire, of a sunrise and a
sunset, in each case looking across the sea. Similar photographs
may be had at Whitby, and amongst my old negatives is one
of such a sunset, if my memory be correct. — Yours, etc.,
F. CROFT.
DYE IN FILMS.
Sir, — With reference to the query raised by L. M. in " The
A.P.” dated 27th June, regarding dye remaining on film
negatives after prolonged washing, it might interest him to
know that on the instruction^ sheet issued with Agfa Superpan
film it is recommended that one or two drops of ammonia
added to the final wash water will remove all traces of blue
dye. I have myself followed this advice with both Kodak
Panatomic and Agfa Superpan film, and find that any remaining
blue dye disappears completely, leaving the film beautifully
clear.— Yours, etc., E. G. DAVIES.
DISPENSING WITH THE NUMBER WINDOW.
Sir, — " Optimist ” suggests that the winding off of the
film should be regulated by some audible device ; in the earliest
roll-holders of the late ’eighties, for negative paper with no
backing paper or numbers, there was, of course, no window,
and one wound off until a certain number of clicks had been
heard ; the system answered well enough with care. Those
were the days of stand cameras, and mine was 7^ X 5 with a
spool for 50 exposures, which had to be cut up before develop¬
ment, and then the fun began. With the modern films,
developed in the strip, this difficulty would not arise. — Yours,
etc., W. S. T.
A MINIATURE CAMERA.
Sir,— Is it allowable for an amateur with no axe to grind
to give a pat on the back to an English-made miniature camera ?
As a result of the extensive advertising I investigated the
claims of the tiny camera, and came to the conclusion that the
cin6-film type is too small, too heavy, too expensive, and too
difficult to use, and that the i6-on-No.- 120-film is the ideal
half-way house for the amateur who wants a companionable
pocket camera. I bought one of those much advertised with an
f/2.9 lens, but could not get passable enlargements to postcard
size unless I stopped down to f/i6. Changing the camera for
another similar model, I found an improvement, but not the
quality I wanted. I then bought a Dallmeyer ” Dual ” with
f/3.5 lens, and have had no further trouble. This camera was
one of the pioneers of the i6-on-No. -120-film, and is made,
I understand, by Messrs. Newman & Guardia. It is very
light, and is generally built in the way Sibyl cameras are always
made, and gives pleasure to handle, in a way which cannot be
said of many of the foreign models of this size at any price.
The " Dual ” is the only British effort in the high-grade class,
and in my opinion it beats all the others, but as it is apparently
not advertised it appears to be almost unknown.
To avoid disappointment, I would advise all purchasers of
i6-on-No. -120-film cameras to test their first film by supporting
the camera on a firm table and exposing on, say, a lace curtain,
at each of the marked distances. The resulting films should be
enlarged with a precision enlarger, and if a postcard enlarge¬
ment is not reasonably sharp, the purchaser may conclude that
the lens is of fair but hardly first-class quality, or that it is
not accurately fitted.
Others who have been troubled with fog on pan. film through
the red window may like to know that Messrs. Peeling & Van
Neck of Holborn Circus are light-trapping my “ Dual ” camera
at a cost of five shillings. — Yours, etc., R. E. DICKINSON.
FILM CONTAINERS.
Sir, — Users of i6-mm. cin6 film may be interested to
know that an empty two-ounce round tin of Barney’s tobacco
makes a perfect holder for a loo-ft. spool of film. The fit has
to be seen to be believed, and there is just enough extra depth
to take a moistened felt pad covered by a disc of perforated
celluloid. A one-ounce tin will take a 50-ft. spool, but the
fit is not quite so exact.
With the tin you get a rubber band (with tab) of the right
size for keeping the film in position on the spool.
I have no interest in the makers of Barney’s other than that
of a satisfied user of their tobacco — and tins. — Yours, etc.,
CHARLES W. WILMAN.
CAMERA PRICES.
Sir, — The letter from " Nomad ” in your issue of July 4th,
regarding qamera prices, has surprised me not a little. " Nomad ”
claims to be a veteran photographer, but the reasons he gives
for his objections hardly seem to be the result of experience.
To my way of thinking, cameras to-day are something more
than just boxes, lenses are not just bits of ground and polished
glass, they are the product of a highly scientific optical process ;
Compur shutters are truly wonderful things, having the
precision and delicacy of watches.
When one considers the modern miniature precision camera,
with all its gadgets for self-timing, automatic winding, etc.,
and the fast lenses and fast shutters, can one really say that
the prices asked are too high ? Remember, when you buy a
precision camera you pay for the knowledge and experience
which made the instrument possible. — Yours, etc.,

PAPER.

LESS ADVANCED f
WORKER I
My first prints — such as they were — happened to be
made on the albumen paper which all photo¬
graphers were then using, for the excellent reason
that there was little or nothing else to use. A day or two
ago 1 was asked where albuminized paper could be obtained,
and I had to reply that, as far as I knew, it could not be
obtained anywhere in this country.
Let me try to be learned for a moment, even if I am
wrong, as learned people often are. This paper was
originally coated with the white of eggs — albumen. The
smell suggested as much. But owing to the demand for
eggs for election and other purposes, albuminoid — albumen¬
like — substarices were prepared from certain animal
in perfect condition. Yet some of us fell for it when we
were told how to do the toning and fixing in one operation
with a “ combined ” bath. How we did fall, to be sure.
And so did some of the prints, as time proved.
Then came the self-toning paper. No gold bath now.
The gold, as we were told, was in the paper. We are still
told so. I do not deny the fact ; but I do not advise any¬
one, even with gold at its present price, to try to extract
the precious metal from self-toning paper, and grow rich
thereby.
One of my earliest investments in this kind was the
purchase of some paper which I believe was bestowed upon
us by America. It gave beautiful prints. I made one.
tissues, and that accounts for the letter "i” instead of “e”
in albuminized.
Then appeared the Ilford P.O.P., which was coated with
gelatine, and promptly and deservedly swept the old egg
paper into oblivion. I made hundreds, nay, thousands of
prints on this Ilford paper, which we generally bought in
large sheets and cut up ourselves. This was supposed to be
economical, but in my hands was disastrously the reverse.
The procedure was to print by daylight till the image
was considerably darker than it should be when finished ;
wash till there was no longer any sign of milkiness in the
water ; tone in a bath containing gold chloride ; wash
again ; fix in plain hypo ; and wash again — -very much.
The prints on glossy paper were generally glazed by squee¬
geeing on to glass or slabs.
It was rather slow work. The good amateurs in those
days — and how wonderfully good they were — did not
mind work, or spending any amount of time in turning out
a good job. Some of my own earliest P.O.P. prints are still
less than a quarter-plate in size, which was hung at the
R.P.S. exhibition, although to-day it would not stand an
outside chance in “ The A.P.” Beginners’ Competition.
Before the exhibition had run a week, that print had
developed measles, or something worse ; and I surreptiti¬
ously replaced it with a platinum print, to the furious
indignation of an editor who got to hear about it.
After which long preamble, I wish to remind beginners
that there are several self-toning papers available to-day,
and to commend them as decidedly worthy of attention
and use. I have just spent some time in experimenting
with a dozen different brands. There are many more than
this on the market, and when I refer, as I shall do, to some
makes by name it must be understood that I am in no way
giving them preference, or specially recommending them.
It is only that of these I have practical knowledge.
Some self-toning papers do not inspire me with affection.
On the contrary, I definitely hate them. Others are
beautiful. I mention this because it would be risky for a

beginner to form an opinion on self-toning papers as a
class, from his experience of one brand he happened to
try. He might be unlucky. It is a simple and inexpensive
matter to try several.
Besides, tastes differ. I dislike a colour that is too red,
and especially one that hints at yellow. I dislike a glossy
surface for these prints. I dislike a mauve paper. What
I do like is a good brown, cool rather than warm, on a creanr
or white matt paper. There are several self-toning papers
on which I can get just what I want, and get it easily.
The usual slogan for self-toning papers is “ simplicity.”
While I agree, in a general way, with this claim, I would give
a word of warning. I know of no other class of papers
with so many idiosyncrasies. Sorry I cannot think of a
simpler word. Gaslight papers, say, are very much of a
njuchness, and you can treat them all in just about the
same way without their resenting it. Not so self-toning
papers. Each one has its own funny ways and charac¬
teristics, and must be treated accordingly, or it will
not behave at all nicely. The instructions accompanying
any given make must be studied and most carefully fol¬
lowed. Slipshod procedure will not do at all. Self-toning
paper asks very little of you, but that little it must and
will have.
One of the first things it asks is a suitable negative.
This must not be flat and weak, but must have good con¬
trast. You cannot get an ultra-contrasty self-toning
paper to use with a thin ghost of a negative. There is a
Vigorous Seltona paper, and the first illustration shows
comparative prints on Normal and Vigorous Seltona. The
difference is more marked in the originals than in the re¬
production, and this more contrasty grade is very useful
to keep at hand for use when a negative is nearly but not
quite strong enough.
The other illustration suggests the type of subject and
negative for which a self-toning paper is quite suitable.
The original is a good sepia colour, on a cream matt paper,
and would have no occasion to blush in the presence of a
carbon print from the same negative.
Next week I hope to proceed to some practical informa¬
tion as to requirements and manipulation.

something ready to hand — bathing belles, and so on.
He returns home with nothing that is saleable. Why ?
Y'ell. he probably does not realise that most good free-lance
pictures have been carefully thought out, and very often
arranged. One seldom comes across the attractive bathing
belles which one sometimes sees in the papers. Attractive
costumes have been bought for the occasion, pretty rocks
and so on have been selected on which to pose the models,
and diie care has been taken with the lighting.
But one need not go from home for subjects. The heat
wave has been topical as well as tropical, and fresh ideas in
connection with it are always welcomed by the picture
papers. The illustration accompanying this article is rather
a change from bathing girls, and is therefore more likely to
appeal to an editor, as it shows originality. A photograph
should also have a short, crisp caption to enhance its value ;
and if it contains a little humour, so much the better.
Coming down one morning I noticed that the candles had
felt the heat wave, and were looking very ridiculous. “ Ha ! ”
I thought, " this ought to make a Press subject.” I arranged
them and re-arranged them until something useful emerged.
Then a caption had to be thought out, and one with a human
touch, if possible. Certainly the two tall candles might be
father and mother and the four small ones their children.
Obviously they had all had too much sun to be good for
them ; so the final caption reads as given.
Sometimes the budding free-lance bemoans the
fact that there never seem to be any suitable
subjects for the Press in his neighbourhood. He
looks forward to his holidays and thinks he may find

“ The Art of Colouring Prints.”
In spite of a considerable interest in
various methods of hand-colouring prints,
the literature on the subject is meagre
and out of date. Hence there should be
a welcome for the volume under the
above title, written by J. Carroll Tobias,
and published at 1 1.50 by The American
Photographic Publishing Co., 428, New¬
bury Street, Boston, 17, Mass., U.S.A.
The subject is handled comprehensively
and skilfully, and expert instruction is
given on the various procedures in¬
volved. in working with transparent and
solid oil- and water-colour, pastels,
wax crayons and so on. The information
is extended to the various methods of
colouring lantern slides, and a short
chapter deals with monochromatic toning
and dyeing. In our opinion the book is
likely to rank as the standard work on
the subject.
‘‘ Movie - Making Made Easy.”
Under this title a book by William J.
Shannon is published by the firm of
Moorfield and Shannon, 66, Elm Place,
Nutley, New Jersey, U.S.A. The price,
post paid, is 2 dollars. It certainly covers
a wide field, and while some parts are
of an elementary character it also deals
with such advanced matters as sound
films, make-up, colour films, animated
cartoons and microscopic work. Many
illustrations are reproduced from very
crude sketches, but serve their purpose.
From such a mass of information as the
book contains it is certain that any
amateur cinematographer will find much
that is ijseful to him.
From The American Photographic
Publishing Co., 428, Newbury Street,
Boston 17, Mass., U.S.A., we have
received Nos. 7 and 9 of their series of
photographic handbooks. They are both
by Frank R. Fraprie, and deal respec¬
tively with ” How to Make Lantern
Slides ” and " Practical Retouching.”
The subjects are handled clearly and
comprehensively, with necessary illustra¬
tions and diagrams ; and the ' only
suggestion for improvement we can
make is that they would be all the
better for an index. The published price
of these handbooks is 50 cents.
The Photographic Society of Ireland
hope to hold an Exhibition, open to
members only, from November 26th to
December ist inclusive. There will be
four classes : i. Pictorial and Archi¬
tecture ; 2, Portraiture ; 3, Nature
Study and Still Life ; 4, Lantern Slides,
Colour Photography and Transparencies.
Two Awards and one Honourable Men¬
tion will be offered in each class, and,
in addition, “ Werner” silver and bronze
medals for the best pictures taken on the
summer outings. It is'-hoped to hold an
Art Union Drawing in connection with
the exhibition.
An alteration has been made in the
date of publication of ” The Pathescope
Monthly,” which makes it more con¬
venient for securing prompt information
of the current Gazette film. This
publication of Messrs. Pathescope, Ltd.
(5, Lisle St., Leicester Square, London,
W.C.2) will now appear on the first of
each month. It co.sts only 2d., and
should be studied regularly by everyone
interested in any way in 9.5-mm. films.
Particulars and entry forms are given
for the National Amateur Cine Contest,
which runs until the end of September.
An exhibition of cinematography will
be held at the galleries of the Royal
Photographic Society, 35, Russell Square,
W.C.i, during the month of November
next. The exhibition will comprise
apparatus, stills and films. A feature of
the exhibition will be a series of lectures
on various aspects of cinematography,
professional and amateur, by eminent
authorities. In conjunction mth the
exhibition, a sub-standard film compe¬
tition will be held, open to amateur and
professional workers. There will also
be a class for amateurs only, in which
entries will be limited to films not
exceeding 100 feet i6-mm., or its equiv¬
alent in other sizes. Films accepted
by the judges will be shown during the
period of the exhibition and will be
awarded certificates. A plaque will
also be placed at the disposal of the
judges for the most meritorious film
submitted in each class. Further in¬
formation may be obtained upon appli¬
cation' to the Secretary at 35, Russell
Square, W.C.i.
Those readers who have sung the
praises of the “ Exakta ” Miniature
Reflex camera will have noted the im¬
proved model which has now been put
on the market. This, in addition to the
features already well known in connec¬
tion with this camera, such as the reflex
mirror action and the self-capping focal-
plane shutter, has now an ingenious
auxiliary control which has been adapted
to the shutter, and by means of which
slow exposures from i/ioth of a second
to 12 seconds can be given; or, with the
delayed-action control, speeds from
i/ioth of a second to 6 seconds. The
delayed-action control allows 12 seconds
to elapse after the release has been
pressed before the shutter operates.
The prices range from 1 8 los. with Ihagee
anastigmat f/3.5, to ^26 with Zeiss
Tessar f/2.8. Telephoto lenses are also
obtainable for use with this camera,
and are, of course, easily used with the
reflex principle of the instrument. It
is obtainable from Messrs. Garner and
Jones, Polebrook House, Golden Square,
W.i, who will supply an illustrated
booklet, dealing with the " Exakta,”
free on application.

Hints on Establishing Continuity in Holiday
Filming s.e®Lm.
So far as amateur work is concerned, lasting satisfaction can seldom be achieved without good continuity.
How this quality may be introduced and developed is discussed in the following article.
There is ample evidence that a
great many beginners com¬
mence their camera work by
casually filming subjects which, in
themselves, are of particular appeal.
Such filming is not entirely aimless,
since there is usually a very strong
intention to retain on the celluloid
some of that appeal possessed by the
original subject.
Unfortunately, little of this can be
captured or retained by casual methods.
The tendency is instead to present
what at best can only be described as
a good photographic record.
It is not denied that some improve¬
ment will be effected immediately
the worker becomes familiar with the
business of editing ; but even skilful
assembly is quite unable to present
a good film without proper continuity.
In the first place, it must be remem¬
bered ' that easy continuity depends
upon every shot being cut to an
effective length. This, of course, can
be controlled in the editing stage ;
nevertheless, the action must be so
directed that it will approximately
coincide with the ultimate cutting.
Then — as the continuity of some
films depends upon image relation¬
ships, whilst that of others depends
upon simple titling — it must be re¬
cognised that there are different
categories of continuity. The pseudo¬
professional play-film, for example,
makes simple use of progressive action
— which may involve httle or no
cinematic skill on the part of the
director. Amateur holiday films, on
the other hand, demand skilful hand¬
ling and assembly if they are to rise
above the level of casual shooting.
Documentaries and travellogue films
make use of yet another type of
continuity — this time dependent for
the main part upon an intelligent use
of titles.
Films conceived from the abstract
method of approach are in much
favour with mature and experienced
amateurs. Here the continuity is al¬
most entirely filmic, involving skill
and vision on the part of the director.
It is necessary, too, to know in
advance something of the particular
action-material which the camera is
likely to encounter “ on location.”
Just as no shot can be assumed
without a previous assurance that
the subject-matter is actually available,
so must the utmost use be made of
continuity shots where it is established
that adequate facilities exist.
Provided, then, that the ultimate
character of the film is clearly fixed
in the mind of the enthusiast, this
problem of continuity is reduced to
very simple proportions. Hence, if
the purpose of a film be to preserve
the happy memories of a family
holiday, medium shots associated with
personal close-ups will usually suffice
to establish the continuity.
In a travellogue or documentary
film, it is not always effective to cut
back to these linking close-ups, the
treatment indicated in such cases
being to make the film action de¬
finitely progressive and to point the
connections by means of lucid captions.
Such captions must come in at just
the right moment ; and, since each
caption must be closely related to
others immediately adjacent, it is
necessary to avoid long cutting and
bad assembly.
The dusty condition of the Row at the present time provides attractive effects for action
subjects on sunny mornings.

‘Deader^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
Cknitral, — All comiiuinications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematosrapher, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, vithoiit exception, must
pi\e the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
.stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
If.NouiRiKS AND CRITICISM. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefullv before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignf»red.
(I) See General *’ above. {2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
pok, and must be accompanied by a a^arate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4} On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ' How can I take interiors ? " or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroa I
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Reticulation.
What is the cause of the crinkled appearance of
the negative sent ? I have had the san;e trouble
on many occasions. S. A. F. (Tamale.)
The trouble with your negative is
known as reticulation. It is generally
the result of transferring the negative
from one solution to another which is
either considerably higher or lower in
temperature. Once it has occurred,
there is no remedy, and this is unfortu¬
nate, as the negative you send is other¬
wise of first-rate quality. From a state¬
ment in your letter we gather that you
may perhaps dissolve hypo just before
use. If so, this may be tlie cause of the
trouble, as the dissolving of the crystals
lowers the temperature considerably.
Wynne Meter.
I have been given a Wynne exposure meter, but
without any instructions. Will you forward me
an explanation of the method of use ?
D. H. W. (New Cross.)
It will be necessary for you to get
full instructions for using the meter,
and also the latest speed list to go with
it. You should be able to get both from
a good i^ondon dealer, but the address of
the makers is The Infallible Exposure
Meter Co., Wrexham.
M.Q. Developer.
I send a formula for an M.Q. developer. When I
mix it the solution turns black. When I mix an
amidol solution it is a pink colour. Can you
explain this ? R. W. B. (Newport.)
We have never heard of such a thing
as a solution of the- kind yon specify
turning black or being anything but
perfectly clear. Amidol has occasion¬
ally a slight pinky colour, but it is never
really noticeable, and it is generally as
clear as Water. As the only thing that
would be used in both the M.Q. and
the amidol solutions is sodium sulphite,
we might suspect that there is something
wrong with what you are using.
Club Addresses.
Can you give me the address of a photographic
society in Kingsbury, Wembley, Edgware or
Hendon ? C. W. R. (London.)
We know of no photographic societies
in the particular districts you mention,
the nearest being the Kilburn and
Willesden Photographic Society, the
Secretary of which is Mr. H. F. James,
of 59, Okehampton Road, Kensai Rise,
N.W.io. The next is the Harrow Camera
Club, the Secretary being Mr. C. W.
Johnson, 4, Shepcote Road, Harrow.
We trust that one of these will suit you.
Colour Process.
What is the address of the makers of the Auto¬
chrome plate ? What is the simplest form of
colour photography ? Does a screen or filter have
to be used ? L. C. S. (Bromley.)
The agents for the Autochrome plate
are Messrs. Thomas K. Grant, Ltd.,
Polebrook House, Golden Square, Lon¬
don, W.i. We do not know of any
simpler colour process, although this is
not the only one of its kind. The screen
is in the plate itself, but a filter has to
be used on the lens. It is not a colour-
print process, the result being a positive
colour picture on glass.
Developer for Chloro-Bromide.
Can you give me an M.Q. formula suitable for
chloro-bromide papers ? S. C. L. (Leatherhead.)
The following will answer
Metol
5
grs
Hydroquinone
40
grs
Sodium sulphite
I
oz.
Sodium carbonate
I
oz.
Potassium bromide
10
grs
Water to . .
20
oz.
It by no means follows that this will
give the best results with any given
brand of paper, and we should strongly
advise you to adopt a formula given in
the maker's instructions.
Adapters.
I want to use quarter-plates in half-plate dark
slides. Could you suggest a method by which I
could adapt the slides for the purpose ?
F. H. E. (Manchester.)
It is a comparatively simple matter
to make adapters from cardboard or
other material, but commercially made
wooden ones are obtainable through
dealers, and we think your best plan
would be to have a proper set fitted to
your slides.
Interior Exposures.
Can you suggest a reliable means of calculating
exposures for indoor subjects ?
D. W. M. (Haslemere.)
Interior subjects are of such wide
variety that we cannot imagine any
simple means of calculating exposures
for all of them. In spite of all sorts of
meters and calculators, a certain amount
of experience and discretion is necessary.
Probably the best help is to keep for
reference copies of all successful photo¬
graphs, with particulars as to the
exposure conditions which gave the
results.
Right to Print.
I had some negatives developed at a holiday resort,
and I find that the dealer who had the work done
tor me is exhibiting an enlargement from one of
the negatives. Has he the right to do so ?
R. V. (Tottenham.)
He has no right to do this, and
technically he is infringing your copy¬
right. These things should be done only
on the strength of a friendly arrange¬
ment, or by definite agreement with or
without a fee. If the dealer sold prints
from your negatives, or allowed them
to be reproduced in any way, it would
be a much more serious matter.
Cleaning Bromides.
I find that the surface of my bromide prints,
especially those in a high key, is not as absolutely
clean as I could wish. What is the best way of
cleaning them up ? F. I. (Lincoln.)
We assume that you refer to surface
'' dirt,” and not to slight fog, or anything
of the kind. At the end of the final
wash you should lay the print at the
bottom of a dish of clean water, and
swab the surface with a soft Turkey
sponge, or a wad of cotton-wool. An
alternative is to go over the surface of
the dry print with cotton-wool moistened
with :
Borax . . . . . . \ oz.
Water . . . . . . 20 oz.
Methylated spirit . . . . , 5 oz.
Dissolve tlie liorax in warm water, and
when cold add the spirit,
‘‘A.P.” Competitions.
What are the rules for your monthly competition ?
Must the work submitted be done entirely by the
competitor ? L. A. (London.)
We have three regular montlily com¬
petitions all the year round. Perhaps
it would be better to say that the com¬
petition is divided into three sections —
beginners’, intermediate and advanced.
Only in the beginners’ section is profes¬
sional assistance permitted. The full
rules for all sections are published in the
last issue of each month, while the
necessary coupons appear in every issue.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
Insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
bis practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange tor others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

THE CAMERA WHICH DOES THE FOCUSSING
SUPER 1KONT4
In pre-Super ikonta days the user of a roll-film camera had to depend more or less upon his
focussing scale for the sharp focussing of his subjects. This involved either judging or measuring
the distances. But so many factors come into play when estimating distances that it is true to say
that no one can judge distances with certainty— it usualiy resolves itself into guesswork. Zeiss Ikon
in their Super Ikonta have completely removed the focussing difficulty. A glance through the
distance meter, a turn of the milled knob, and the lens is automatically focussed correctly on the
subject you wish to photograph. The Super Ikonta distance meter Is a complete departure from
previous types, and is so strongly constructed that it fulfils the requirements of the amateur who
uses his camera for sports, games, as well as general snapshot work. For touring, motoring and
hiking the Super Ikonta is an ideal companion
The Super Ikonta is now supplied in three sizes:

“ The Camera which I purchased
from you just a year ago has won me
six good prizes, chiefly with animal
studies. The detail of fur, etc., is
wonderful.” — Miss T., Southsea.

and find it an ideal
outfit for this purpose,
its small size making
it exceedingly handy,
especially for action
pictures.”

SELOCHROME Film Pack claimed that it
excelled in these five ways
(1) Films are kept absolutely flat and remain so when
removed.
(2) The pack is absolutely light-tight. There is no fear
of fogging, even at the edges.
(3) The tabs of the pack are of varying length ; it is
almost impossible to pull the wrong tab.
Selochrome Film Packs

WEDNESDAY, August 15TH, 193.4.
SINCE the issue of our special
Jubilee Number we have re¬
ceived a continuous stream of
letters of congratulation ; and it is
curious to note how, as time goes
on, these come from more and more
distant parts of the world. For
The Amateur Photographer hnds its
way to the farthest and most
obscure corners. Some idea of its
ubiquity is given by our annual
exhibition, at the R.P.S., of prints
sent for the Overseas Competition.
Those who scan the prize lists of
our monthly competitions will also
be aware of the frequency with which
awards go to readers in distant
lands. In this very issue the “ Pic¬
torial Analysis ” article, not for the
first time, deals with a picture by
one of the many gifted workers in
India. It is no idle boast that the
circulation of “ The A.P.” is world¬
wide.
The Far Horizon.
Cameras were in profusion in
and about Windsor Castle on August
Bank Holiday, but with a holiday
crowd surging through the state
apartments and St. George’s chapel
interior photography was out of
the question. A good many people
took their cameras to the top of the
Round Tower, and inspired by the
policeman on duty there, who
pointed out objects on the distant
horizon, including Box Hill in
Surrey, and the Lots Road power
station, and even, though visible
more to the eye of faith than of
sight, the Crystal Palace, made wild
exposures from the parapet. The
hymn-writer might express a dis¬
inclination to see the distant scene,
one step enough for him, but it is
the distant scene that the happy-
go-lucky person with a camera
seems to want, and he blazes away

in that direction, though mercifully
he does know enough about it to
be prepared for disappointment after¬
wards. But what a lovely bit of
England it is which nestles around
Windsor Castle, ^^'e noticed in the
Broad W'alk that some of the
famous elm trees, which were planted
in the seventeenth century, have
been cut down, and others are said
to be afflicted with the disease
which has made the felling necessary.
Photographic Specialisms in
Science.
The little fleas, we know, have
lesser fleas, and so in science, a thing
of many specialities, but within
each speciality other specialities
which minister to it. One set of
photographic materials suits the
astronomer, another the student of
biological sciences, a third the worker
in chemistry and physics, and a
fourth the geologist and the mineral¬
ogist. No, even that will not do,
for in astronomical work, for ex¬
ample, your choice of material will
depend upon whether you want to
do direct photography — solar, stel¬
lar, or lunar — or spectroscopy,' or
photometry and mass spectra analy¬
sis, or just to copy illustrations for
lantern slides or prints. In photo¬
micrography it depends whether
you want to get non-coloured objects
with fine detail, or pond life and
objects containing much green, or
stained sections, or to do entomo¬
logical work where such things as
chitinous skeletons are involved, in
which case an infra-red plate ma}-
be useful. The infra-red plate may
also be useful in getting fossils in
brown coal, carbonaceous shale, and
peat, where the transparency to
infra-red allows a rendering of detail
in these materials hitherto impos¬
sible. But in fact for the hundred

purposes of science there appears
to be a special photographic material
to suit ever}^ one of them.
Photography and the Medical
Profession.
A correspondent who has been
attending the annual meeting of the
British Medical Association at
Bournemouth, writes : Doctors ap¬
pear to be more keenly interested in
amateur photography than the mem¬
bers of any other profession. They
beat the clergy, who probably run
second. That was the conviction, as
he related to me, of at any rate one
stand-holder at the exhibition in the
Winter Gardens. He was out to sell
X-ray him for his big manufacturing
house, but it was his constant
experience that doctors came to his
stand, hrst to inquire about X-ray
him, and then to go on talking about
ordinary photography. One doctor
himself talked for a solid half-hour
about infra-red. This particular ex¬
hibitor had a panel of lantern slides
illustrating X-ray views of various
diseases and abnormalities, but before
the week was out he changed over
to a set of ordinary slides — land¬
scapes, hgures, reproductions of
paintings, and so on — because he
found these to be more interesting
to his medical visitors than the
purely professional work. Why is
photography — as is shown again and
again in “ Who’s WTio ” — the chosen
recreation of Harley .Street ? Why is
there almost invariably a dark-room
in “ Bedside Manor ” ? Certain it
is that when X-rays were discovered
rather less than forty years ago the
reason why doctors took up the
discovery with enthusiasm was not
only because of what it revealed of
the inner anatomy, but because it
was in a line with the work they
had been pursuing with the ordinary
camera. The medical expert with
the X-rays was very often the local
practitioner who had been an active
member in the local photographic
society. Probably the reason why
members of the medical profession
favour photography is because, in
the course of their daily work, they
see so much that is abnormal, dis¬
tressing, painful, disgusting, that
they turn with relief to the most
normal thing going.
Competitions.
At this season the entries to our
competitions expand enormously
(with the heat?). We would again
urge all who enter them to read very
carefully the few simple rules, or they
may handicap themselves seriously.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Static Fog. The marks do not suggest any single defect in camera or bellows,
I enclose a negative, one of five or six of recent development, and I cannot detect a defect of any kind. Can you suggest an
as I am puzzled by the citrious character of the fogging at one edge. explanation ? H'. J . B. (London.)
We should have been glad to see all the negatives in which
the defect has occurred, as this would have helped us in our
diagnosis. At the same time, from the specimen you sent we
are confident in attributing the trouble to a discharge of
static electricity.
The examples reproduced are from a collection, fortunately
a very small one, illustrating the effect ; and you will notice
a close resemblance between the first one and your own.
These electric sparks occur with pack films, when the tab
is torn off from the celluloid before development. Such a
thing is unlikely to occur except
in hot and dry conditions, which ,
certainly obtained for a' con¬
siderable period recently. The
tab must not be torn off quickly |
and violently. We have sue- I
ceeded in producing this spark- '
fogging deliberately, with films
that have been taken from a
pack without exposure. The
spark is often distinctly visi- '
ble, and development discloses
its effects.
A very striking example is that
shown in the second illustration ;
the comet-like specimen on the
right is unusually long, and was
visible for more than half the
length of a 3.2 X2J film. In all
cases the illustrations show the
protected edge of the film, which
would not be fogged by light
entering the adapter.
An effective preventive is to
damp the tab where it is attached
to the film, when it will come off
smoothly and quickly.

6 CIHEMATOGRAPHER o
/I Word about FILTERS
^ M The question of the properties and uses of light filters is a
difficult and complicated one. Some of the salient facts which
interest the average photographer are here considered.
The photomicrographer and
the colour worker must
necessarily use light filters ;
but the general worker is liable to
ignore them altogether, or to be
uncertain as to their use and effect.
In a great many cases — probably
the majority in some classes of
work — the photographer cannot pos¬
sibly secure the best results without
the aid of filters properly used.
Forms of Filters.
Only three forms of filter are
likely to concern the average photo¬
grapher ; coloured gelatine used
alone ; coloured gelatine cemented
between two pieces of glass ; and
coloured optical glass. Gelatine
alone is difficult to fix and to keep
flat, and is easily damaged by
handling and otherwise. It is an
improvement to sandwich it between
two pieces of glass, but the three
components should be cemented
together with Canada balsam. A
properly worked glass filter is the
best, although it is expensive, es¬
pecially in larger sizeg.
The simplest form of filter — a
circular piece of gelatine — is often
placed between the components of
the lens. This position protects
the filter, but necessitates frequent
removal and replacement of the
front lens. The most usual form
is that of a sort of lens cap to fit
on the lens, or to screw into the
mount.
Although most filters are homo¬
geneous in colour, some are gradu¬
ated from a deep colour to clear
glass or gelatine. These are often
called sky filters, and they are
commonly fitted in a mount which
permits of their being raised or
lowered. Their effect is modified
by the position of the gradations,
by the distance from the lens,
and by the stop used.
Positions.
There are five possible positions
for a filter : (a) in between the
source of light and the object ;
(b) on the front of the lens ; (c)
between the lens components ; (d)
on the back of the lens ; and (e)
close in front of the plate.
The position (a) is often pon-
venient in photomicrography, while
the position (e) may concern the
three-colour worker. The other
three are available for general work,
and all are in actual use.
Various aberrations are liable to
result from the use of a filter, and
these depend to some extent on its
position. If a somewhat thick glass
filter is used at the back of the lens
it will affect the focus sufficiently to
make the usual focussing scale
unreliable. When the filter is on
the front of the lens the effect is
often, though not always, negligible.
Any trouble of this kind is eliminated
when focussing is carried out with the
aid of the ground-glass screen, and
with the filter in posirion.
Selective Filters.
It must be remembered that an
“ ordinary ” plate is but feebly
sensitive to colours beyond blue-
green ; an orthochromatic plate is
more or less sensitive to just beyond
yellow ; while a panchromatic plate
may run well on into red. The
object of any filter is to cut out such
colour rays as are not required for
the purpose in hand.
An almost colourless filter is made
to absorb only ultra-violet rays ; at
the other extreme is a filter which
appears quite opaque to the eye, as
it passes only the infra-red rays.
Between these is a wide range of
filters, mainly of different depths of
yellow, which absorb more or less
of the violet and blue rays. Then
there are special filters, such as a
“ contrast ” form, which cuts out
the whole of the violet and blue.
For the average photographer it
is the range of yellow filters which
serve him best, for landscape and
flower work, and indeed for all
subjects in which the various colours
are to be translated into appropriate
monochrome tones. His common
trouble is that violets and blues act
too vigorously on his negatives,
while greens, yellows and reds lag
far behind. These would do better
if they had more time to act, pro¬
vided he is using a suitable emulsion ;
but this extra time would allow the
over-active rays to play havoc
with his gradations. Hence the
necessity for a filter which will put
an effective check on the active
rays while the others have time to
do the necessary work.
The Filter Factor.
As a filter used for this purpose
is excluding a certain proportion of
the most active rays, it follows, as a
rule, that an increased exposure is
necessary. The extent of this increase
corresponds to the “ factor ” of
the particular filter.
Here arises a common error — the
idea that a filter has one definite
factor, so that it can be classified as
times, 2 times, 5 times, or what
not. This is not the case. The
factor of any given filter may vary
enormously according to the peculiar
sensitivity of the emulsion with
which it is used, and the character of
the illumination to which the expo¬
sure is made. Not only does the
factor of the filter vary in this way,
but so also does the ‘ ‘ correction
which results from it.
Further Hints.
It follows that it is a good plan,
whenever possible, to use with a
given emulsion the filters made or
recommended by its manufacturers.
The alternative is to arrive at a
sufficiently accurate factor by ex¬
periment, and also to study from
results the extent to which the
resulting “ corrections ” may be
regarded as satisfactory.
Filters should be protected as
much as possible from light, excessive
heat, and (with gelatine especially)
damp.
Those who are really interested
in the use of filters in different
branches of work would be well
advised to study some of the ex¬
cellent brochures dealing with the
subject.

jetters to the Editor
August 15th, 1934
The Editor is not responsible for
the opinions of his correspondents .
CAMERA PRICES.
Sir, — I read the letters of “ Nomad ” and W. S. Henley
regarding camera prices with a certain amount of surprise.
Their opinions seem to be so contrary to those of the majority
of people, and as a camera buyer with experience going back
well before the wai, I have no hesitation at all in saying that
to-day’s values are better than ever before.
The modern high-grade camera is by no means merely a
pressed metal box, as “ Nomad ” suggests, but an assembly
of beautifully made precision parts — sometimes, it is true,
contained in a pressed metal box. Research and progress
have given us an infinitely better article than we could have
obtained at any price twenty years ago. and research costs
money.
If Mr. Henley feels the twin-lens reflex at £22 los. is the
type he requires, but that the price is prohibitive, he will find
an excellent substitute at £10 los., made by the same manu¬
facturer, and others at even lower prices by different makers ;
and in the meantime I am sure his modest £3 los. camera is
doing excellent work. — Yours, etc., F. H. R. STILLMAN.
FOGGING ROLL FILMS.
Sir, — May I add a few words to your correspondence on the
subject of fogging panchromatic roll films through the red
sight windows ?
Mr. Roger C. Carter’s experience recorded in your issue of
August 1st is unfortunate, but the fact that some fogging
occurred whenever the window cover was lifted shows the
necessity of keeping the window covered the whole time, and
working out some method of winding by counting turns. The
checking of turns by using a film backing is evidently not
accurate enough, probably because of the progressively in¬
creasing diameter of the take-up spool as the film is wound on
to it, this giving the need for winding a little less between 6ach
film exposure. To wind the same number of turns between
each exposure as was required for the first would cause too
much film to be taken up, so that the last exposure would be
mutilated or missing.
1 would suggest that a test be made with a complete film,
a note being made of the number of turns required between
each exposure, which would, of course, be progressively fewer.
For fractions of turns, a few dots or marks could be made, say
halves and quarters of a turn, round the base-plate of the
winding-key. A list of the turns required could be carried
on the camera case and a tally kept by pencil ticks as the
exposures were made. By this means a sufficiently accurate
system of " blind ” winding could be worked out, while danger
of fogging would be obviated. — Yours, etc., R. C. WOOD.
Sir, — It may be of interest and assistance to your corres¬
pondent, Mr. Carter, in whose letter puV.lished on August ist
1 seem to detect a strain of envy of my immunity from super¬
pan. fogging, to know that the camera through which all the
exposures referred to were made was a Nagel Triumph, over
100 negatives being exposed in this.
Whether the light in which I was working was of the same
intensity as that of Italy or Switzerland I cannot say, but
exposures, according to a Justophot, were of the order of
i/iooth second at f/ii for average subjects, although actually
about a quarter second at f/3.2, with a medium filter was
given. A tripod was, of course, used, and this necessitated
the red window being exposed to the sky and often to the sun
for fairly lengthy periods, but in no instance did I fog a film,
save on one occasion, and that was due to another cause,
namely, insufficient desensitising.
From the complaints that have been made it appears that
fogging is due to rays from the lower end of the spectrum
penetrating the backing paper, for we have not heard yet of
complaints from users of equally fast non-panchromatic
emulsions — and yet even those camera windows which appear
to be safe with super pan. are red, .an apparently mysterious
red that is safe for super pan. emulsions. Is it possible that
the trouble is due to infra-red radiation to which some red
celluloids are transparent and others opaque ? — Yours, etc.,
R. E. S. WHITE.
THE PERFECT CAMERA.
Sir, — I fear that my ideas of the perfect miniature camera
are as amateurish as my knowledge of photography, but the
letter of your correspondent H. Braithwaite is written in such
an excellent cause that it deserves to be seconded. I have
searched in vain for a first-class precision miniature camera of
British manufacture, and I have refrained from buying a
foreign one because the import duty makes the price prohibitive.
In the case of these small precision cameras the heavy landing
tax is less a protection to British manufacturers than a penalty
on the consumer, because there is nothing made in this country
to compete against them.
I have suggested to more than one British manufacturer
that there is a market, here and in the Dominions, for a minia¬
ture camera that does the focussing ; but in effect I have been
told to mind my own business. The fact that foreign-made
photographic apparatus can glut the British market in spite
of the heavy duty is an indication that the home manufacturers
are either unwilling or unable to give the public what it wants.
—Yours, etc., OLIVER RUSTIC.

THE “PERPLEX” DEVELOPING TANK
An adjustable developing tank for all sizes of roll film
up to 4^X2-J- has been introduced to the Britijh
market by the Norse Trading Co. (London), Ltd.,
of Berners House, 47, Berners Street, Whi. This tank
resembles in its exterior the well-known Correx tank, but
differs in its internal arrangements in that the spool which
accommodates the film for developing is adjustable, the
upper plate being separable from the lower by a screw
thread on the central spindle. The inner sides of both the
top and bottom circular plate have a spiral groove extend¬
ing from the upper edge of the plate to the centre. When
the correct separation of the two plates has been fixed for
any particular film, they are locked in position, and in the
dark-room the film, stripped of its backing paper, is fed
into the spiral groove between the two plates.
This is much simpler to perform than to describe, and a
complete 3 J X 2\ 8-exposure film can be fed into the spool
very rapidly after a little practice. The loaded spool,
which, it will be noted, has no celluloid apron, is put in the
container of the tank, the lid is then replaced, and the
developer poured through a hole at the top.
To facilitate the action of the developer throughout the
film a special vulcanite split stick is inserted in the central
hole and engages with the spool in the interior. By turning
this the entire spool can be spun round in the developer,
or a thermometer can be inserted to test the temperature
of the solution.
The entire article is made of bakelite, which is proof
against acids, is almost unbreakable, and is easy to clean.
It costs 25s.
After development, both fixing and washing can be
conducted without removing the lid or the spool from the
tank. It is a very useful accessory, and further particulars
can be obtained from the above address.

PVENING LIGHT
By ROBERT M. FANSTONE.
In the following article the attractiveness of the late evening effects of summer
and early autumn are dealt with. Some technical hints are also given.
Photographers, more than
any other class of people,
have reason to be thankful
for the extra hour of daylight
throughout the summer and early
autumn. In almost every branch
of photographic work the late even¬
ing sunshine can be used to advan-

are long and interesting, and at this
time the sunshine finds its way into
the most unexpected places. The
best effects are often to be found a
few minutes before sunset.
The modern photographic ma¬
terials in the form of panchromatic
emulsions, as well as the popular
’chrome films, provide an ideal
medium for securing these effects.
These materials are capable of
dealing ver}^ successfully with th<.)se
subjects which present a long range
of contrasts, by reason of the great
latitude afforded. Further, there
is an almost entire freedom from
halation, which is all to the ad¬
vantage of the photographer who
undertakes this work. Finally, the
great sensitiveness of these materials
to yellow or red rays allows of short
exposures being made successfully,
where the subject requires them.
The photographer who takes his
camera out with a view to recording
these effects of light will find that in
many cases the most pleasing sub¬
jects are seen against the light.
These are not difficult to secure
provided that the lens is screened
from direct light by a hood of
effective size. Further, it is some¬
times possible .so to arrange the

subject in the case of a landscape or
woodland, that the sun is directly
behind some prominent object in the
foreground, such as a large tree.
Although when the camera is
fitted witli a lens of large aperture it
is possible to secure many of these
subjects with a hand camera, it will
be found that in many, cases a time
exposure of several seconds will be
called for. The lighting at this time
of the day is very deceptive with
regard to actinic power, and the only
safe 'course is to use an exposure
meter and a tripod.
tage. Commonplace and uninterest¬
ing subjects are transformed into
valuable picture -making material.
The effects produced are very varied.
We have sunshine and shadow, with
the immense advantage in very
many cases that there is more
shadow than sunshine, and perhaps
under no conditions are pictorial
possibilities greater. Evening sun¬
shine, and more particularly that of
late evening, can be effective for
landscapes, architecture, both in¬
terior and exterior, portraiture, and
even flower photography.
The late evening sunshine has a
character of its own. At other
hours the lighting is often too
brilliant, and it is a difficult matter
to secure good results because the
contrasts are too harsh, and the
effect spotty. The evening shadows

modern films, make it unnecessary.
Although I have said that this
photography of seaside incidents
is essentially work for the small
camera, I am not forgetting the
box camera. In many ways there
is nothing to beat it. Only its
lack of a faster shutter speed pre¬
vents its being ideal ; but many
“slow shots” can be successfullv
Great fun, this ; the children are completely
happy in their own enjoyment of a sunny day
on tire shore, and the photographer in his
absorbing hunt.
There are innumerable pictures at the edge of the water,
more than can ever be counted : but to get even a small
proportion of them on to film requires some skill,
and not a little luck.
The skill lies rather in
the ability to seize and
arrange instantly in the
view-finder any possible
composition. Camera
manipulation can become
almost automatic on such
a hunt.
It is undoubtedly pho¬
tography for the smaller
camera, and the brilliance
of the light enables one
to set the stop at f/8 or
f/ii, the shutter speed
at i/iooth of a second,
and be assured of fully-
exposed negatives. A
focussing at 15 feet will
give sufficient depth of
field when used in con¬
junction with one of these
stops, and all that re¬
mains to be done is to fit
a lens hood.
This useful attachment to the rim of the lens will
keep out any reflected light, and so prevent those annoying
light streaks which can so easily spoil air otherwise
perfect negative. This also simplifies matters, as the
photographer can then snap directly towards the sun
if he wishes. Even the additional exposure required
for a contre-jour study when inland, can be ignored

accomplished. One thing is greatly in its favour — so
many are about the beach that no child fights shy of such
an instrument, or displays any curiosity regarding it.
To catch these unrehearsed poses I find that one often
requires to be wading ; and while light clothing or even
a bathing costume is needed for comfort, it is a great
advantage if a dark jacket can be worn, as this renders
the camera less conspicuous when held against one’s
body. A black alpaca is perfect for this purpose.
The chief trouble when stalking these unconscious

models is found when trying to separate them from the
constantly moving background of people. And it is no
uncommon happening for a child suddenly to dart across
the picture field just as the exposure is made. In this
connection the photographer also has to guard against
adopting too high a view-point when facing the sea and
snapping children on the sand. There is always a danger
of becoming so absorbed in watching one’s subjects that
breaking waves are not noticed, and these are sadly out
of place when balanced on a child’s head.
The charms of the seaside make the strongest appeal
to the majority of holiday-makers at this season, and
for those who find happiness in watching the kiddies
romp, splash, and budd castles on the sand, I
suggest that many treasured memories can be stored

And similarly with any other strength or quantity required .
Printing is done in daylight, but not in direct sunlight,
except in the case of a very dense and contrasty negative.
The densest patch on a negative will resist diffused light
during the whole time of printing, but sunlight would
penetrate it so that the high-lights would be degraded,
and the print have a dull and lifeless appearance.
As printing in diffused light is a gradual and slow process
it is advisable to have several frames going at once. Half
a dozen is a convenient number. Another reason for this
is that it is not well to leave a print in the frame from one
day to the next, and care must be taken to avoid damp, or
both print and negative will suffer. The best type of frame
is one with the hinged back unequally divided, the larger
section being raised to examine the progress of printing.
The thumb should be kept pressed on the smaller division
of the back while this examination is made, as the slightest
shift of the paper in relation to the negative is fatal. For
film’ negatives a piece of flawless glass must be fitted to the
frame. Masks may be used
when the prints are not to
be trimmed.
The chief difficulty about
the printing is to learn how
far it must be carried. All
self-toning papers must be
printed darker than they are
to appear when finished, as
they all lose strength in the
fixing bath. The correct ex¬
tent of this over-printing
' varies considerably with dif¬
ferent brands, and must be
found by experiment. The
colour of the image varies,
too. Seltona is brown, Solio
reddish, Enitone violet, Yto
a sort of plum colour.
Even when comparatively
fresh the surface of the
paper may have yellowed,
sometimes unevenly. Vigor¬
ous Seltona is definitely yel¬
low when made. All this
rights itself in finishing.
Another point that has to
be learnt by experience is
the probable strengthening of
A S to the outfit for handling self-toning papers, it is
about as simple as can be. The photographer who
has printing-frames and dishes available is already
fully equipped.
First of all, however, I would advise the provision of a
quart bottle to hold hypo solution ; as this must be plain,
and not of the acid type advisable for most other purposes.
I would also advise making up the hypo in a special way,
so that it will be convenient for any brand of paper that
may be used.
Into the clean, empty bottle, pour exactly 32 oz. of
water, and mark on the bottle the level to which it reaches.
This can be done by sticking on a strip of paper ; by paint¬
ing a line with enamel ; or by making a scratch with a
triangular file. Empty the bottle. Dissolve i lb. of hypo
in about a pint of hot water ; pour into the bottle, and
add enough water to bring the solution up to the level
marked. It is evident that, when the solution is shaken
up, two ounces of it will contain one ounce of hypo.
Here are the hypo baths for some typical papers ;

the image, and some change of colour in the print when dry
as compared with its appearance when wet.
As the prints are removed from the frames they should
be put into a lidded box, and if possible finished the same
day. At any rate they should not be left for a long
period.
As I said last week, it is most important to follow the
working instructions supplied with any given paper. Some
papers have a preliminary wash ; others go straight into
the hypo. With most, the tone varies according to the
strength of the hypo bath, and the time the prints are kept
in it. Also with most papers it is possible to obtain colder
(bluer) tones by means of a preliminary salt bath. In this
case it is necessary to use common salt, and not one of the
table preparations. All these points, and all others that
require attention, will be set forth in the instructions, and
must be rigorously observ'ed, including the procedure for
washing and drying.
In the iIlu.stration the two prints of Anstey’s Cove are
on the same paper, but the negative was intensified before
the second one was made. The right-hand print is also
from a negative which had to be intensified, as it was
much too thin for this type of paper.
The gloomy version of Anstey’s Cove might have been
what was wanted ; in which case, well and good. If only
a little more brilliance is required. Vigorous Seltona may
just do it. When still more contrast is needed the only
course is to intensify the negative, which should then be a
good one for other purposes as well. A method of doing
this I will explain again next week, and also mention one or
two further points in connection with self-toning papers.

precautions with Strong Sunlight
57 T EDMONDSON. REMINDERS FOR HOT WEATHER
IN hot weather a danger which needs to be emphasised
is the harm which may result if a camera is left exposed
to the sun. Nothing is easier than to lay it down,
either open or closed, in the garden or on the beach, and
forget about it. The great heat of the summer sun is such
that the camera needs to be kept out of it whenever it is not
in use. The leather covering may easily separate from
the body under the influence of heat. The bellows may
crack, letting light through. Even the metal may warp,
and so alter its shape ; and, in addition, the possibility of
light getting in is needlessly increased. So a little fore¬
thought may save much trouble. Camei'as intended for use
in tropical countries are specially constructed to withstand
great changes in temperature. The bodies of these are
usually made of teak, and not co\-ered with leather or other
material.
It must not be thought that because films may be changed
in daylight it is therefore safe to do this in sunlight. They
should always be changed in the shade, to lessen the pos¬
sibility of fogging. After expcrsure it is well to wrap them
in their original light-proof papers, and keep them in
their cartons until developed. It must also be remembered
that they should be kept cool, heat affecting their qualities
considerably.
Another point to remember is that the temperature of
the developing solution is liable to exceed the safe limit of
75 degrees Fahrenheit if the room in which it is used receives
the uninterrupted rays of the sun. Outhouses and attics
are perhaps worst in this respect, being more exposed to
it. Also they usually retain such heat for a long time.
Attention to these details will give more lasting service
from the camera, and greater pleasure and satisfaction
from summer-time photography.

Mr.
CHAS. E.
ROLLINSON.
Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
Method is dictated by inter¬
pretation and objective. I
regard photography as a
craft and an end in itself, not merely a
means to an end. I interpret its
function not primarily to produce
' pictures,’ but to depict actuality.
Actuality can have many aspects.
“ I work all the year through, and
photograph anything I think worth
recording. If I have a preference it
is for sunshine effects and flower
photography. My outdoor pictures
are usually the result of observation,
patient waiting, an alertness to take
advantage of a fleeting opportunity.
Holiday.
Chas. E. Rollinson.
according to the vision and insight of
the beholder ; I endeavour to use what
imagination 1 have been blessed with
to embody an idea or a spirit in my
work, and to produce something more
than reportage. I am at variance
with the ‘ modern ’ whose creed is a
disregard of composition and a worship
of the bizarre ; who scorns sentiment
and brings beauty down to matter-of-
factness.
Sometimes I deliberately set out to
make a picture of a chosen subject,
and give time and thought to the best
viewpoint to satisfy my sense of
composition ; the rest is a matter of
choosing the best time for lighting.
I am restricted to open air for portrait¬
ure, which perhaps is good for me,
because I have a liking for a portrait
with background, provided it has a
definite identification with the subject.
“ Many of my negatives are born
to blush unseen ; they never see the
light of an enlarger. I am satisfied
if a tenth are worth while.
“ I have accumulated a battery of
cameras, but my first and still my
favourite is a 3^ x 2^ reflex with an
f/3.5 Aldis and an f/5.6 Dallon 9-in.
telephoto. I use a Super Ikonta for
speed work such as sea studies, sports,
and the like. Exposures were at one
time most carefully calculated ; but
now, except for all indoor work, I
rely upon my judgment, erring, if at
all, on the generous side.
“ Very early in my photographic
career (which, by the way, is just
three years — I’m sorry I didn’t start
thirty years ago), I learnt that one
acquired a surer technical control by
sticking to one . or two makes of
materials ; and now I use, almost
exclusively, Verichrome with or with¬
out filter, for general work ; Kodak
S.S. pan. for portraiture and flower
studies ; and Ilford S.G. pan. for
landscape.
“ Development is invariably by
time and temperature. I use Azol,
and have worked out my own times,
which are about two-thirds of the
makers’, and which give me a some¬
what soft negative, not flat, with satis¬
factory shadow detail. I find Kodak
Royal bromide in its various grades
all one could wish for, developing with
amidol for cool black, and with M.Q.
for brown-black. I give a prolonged
development to bring out the full range
of tones.
I am a purist, and consider
handwork on negative or print, except
what is necessary to cure technical
blemishes, such as pinholes, a per¬
petration of a falsehood. I feel the
same about multiple printing. Beyond
the use of a diffuser, local shading
and spotting, my exhibition prints
are straight ; I endeavour to depict
the truth.”

> - 'T
o 1 ^ on the Beginners’ prints reproduced on
^ome Kunttcal K^omments onnosite oa^e
Both Nos. i and 2 of the prints
reproduced on the opposite page
have a certain similarity in that
they deal with hilly country, but there
is a very noticeable difference in the
way in which they are handled. No.
1, “ The Path to Stoney Middleton,”
by G. H. Walton, seems to be thought
out and well designed, and No. 2,
" Ullswater,” by G. Noble, seems
casual and haphazard.
Choice and Chance.
It is true that the second shows a
departure from the level, but, while
this could and should have been
corrected before submission, it is not
altogether that which causes an im¬
pression of casualness.
The tree on the right is not very
pleasing in shape, and its blankness
and depth of tone seem to indicate
a marked degree of under-exposure
Moreover, it has the appearance, not
of a deliberate inclusion, but of an
inadvertent intrusion, whereas, with
a little dodging about, it is only reason¬
able to assume that a respectable
tree could be found in the vicinity to
serve as the chief item ; that a fore¬
ground of more pleasing form could
be obtained, and that the present
arrangement of middle distance and
distance could be retained with nothing
but insignificant differences.
If, in the revised edition, the
principal tree be just as near, and of
equal depth of tone, the exposure
should be increased accordingly, for,
as a glance at our monthly tables
will show, the nearer the dark to the
camera the greater is the exposure
required.
Turning to No. i, the care that has
been exercised shows itself in both an
artistic and technical superiority. On
the former side, the effect of conire-
jour 'Sunshine makes a good motive ;
the figures are nicely placed, and the
composition, in other , respects, offers
no serious ground for criticism.
Motive and Effect.
On the technical side, not only does
the exposure given seem adequate,
but the tones of the print are har¬
monious, and it is evident that the
choice of a printing paper was properly
considered in relation to the contrast
range of the negative. The original
print is of excellent quality, but a
linen-grained surface in so small a
print is somewhat ill-advi.sed. It is
much too noticeable. It might pos¬
sibly be tolerable in a print four or
five times the size, but in this instance
it breaks up the image too much, and
to some extent spoils the ” drawing.”
A smooth matt surface would seem
to offer an appreciable advantage
over the present rendering, and, if
another print be made, it might as
well be chosen in.stead.
The adverse effect on the drawing
impairs the pictorial appeal, inasmuch
as the brilliant outlines, which are a
feature of pictures seen against the
light, are rendered in a somewhat
indeterminate fashion, and the effect,
which forms the motive, does not
quite attain the degree of attraction
it should. Nevertheless, the motive is
there, and was very well seen indeed.
It might be better expressed, but it is
apparent, and it is in this respect that
its superiority over the other is most
marked, for, in comparison. No. 2
seems motiveless and devoid of any
artistic intention.
The Pictorial Idea.
A similar idea is to be seen in No. 3,
■' The Halt,” by R. A. Worth, where,
again, sunlight on the figures forms
the pictorial motive.
It is, perhaps, a little more in
evidence than was the case with No. i,
but this is due to the larger scale in
which the figures are shown. On the
other hand, the effect scarcely attains
the same force, partly because the
figures are detached from each other
instead of being connected, and partly
on account of the fact that they are
not quite so well placed.
The maximum effect of the sunshine
is seen on the figure on the left, and
it seems that she should be the chief
figure of the composition. Her posi¬
tion, so near the left-hand edge, is
weak. She should be more in the
picture, and, to make the necessary
adjustment, what is needed is an
addition of about three-eighths of an
inch to the left-hand side.
At the same time, the bit of sky
at the top might be removed by
trimming, for it has the effect of
diminishing the value of the sunlight
on the figures below. In other re¬
spects, the arrangement makes up
remarkably well, and the whole, as
revised, forms an attractive little
picture.
Attraction of Mood.
No. 5, ” November Mists,” by C. F.
Birkin, has a different sort of attraction,
its appeal lying in the mood it conveys.
It provides a good impression of
atmospheric mist, and this, as a mood,
ranks equally as an effect as sunshine.
It may be more inclined towards
melancholy or quietude than towards
the joyousness of sunlight, but it has a
beauty of its own, and, in this instance,
that beauty is well suggested. The
out-of-focus blurring of the image in
the immediate foreground is, however,
an unfortunate feature, particularly
as it could easily have been avoided
by an adjustment in focussing, accom¬
panied, if necessary, by the use of
a smaller stop.
To correct matters now that the
negative is made involves a trim of
about half an inch from the base. It
does not altogether remove the defect,
but renders it appreciably less notice¬
able. Nevertheless, it would really
be better to retain the foreground if
it were at all possible, for the com¬
position is not so good without it ;
but, with the fault so pronounced,
there is no alternative.
Length of Foreground.
The disposition of the subject
material justifies the unusually long
foreground, and its darks enhance the
delicacy of the mood. It is for this
reason that it would be better to keep
it if possible ; but, in the case of No. 4,
“ Early One Morning,” by G. W.
Cattermole, which exhibits a similar
arrangement, there is scarcely the
same justification, for the picture gains,
rather than loses, from a similar trim.
The focussing, perhaps, is better
adjusted, but, with no special interest
in the near foreground, the wisdom of
including so much is questionable,
and, as far as the early morning effect
is concerned, it does not seem to get
across very well, partly on account of
a measure of over-printing and partly
because what lights there are are
disconnected and very restricted in
size. “ Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“WIND,” hy S. K. Koparkar.
Not only in conception, but also
in execution and treatment is
this picture exceedingly fine,
and appreciably in advance of the
average level. It is simple in arrange¬
ment, and the idea is therefore well
expressed. It displays a good feeling
for design, which makes for finish
and completeness in its composition,
and the effect of light and
sunshine is remarkably well
conveyed.
Simplicity in Arrangement.
. Moreover, the nude figure is
very well caught and shown
in a graceful and powerful
pose, while the way the
different tones of figure, white
draperies and sky are dis¬
tinguished makes the work a
technical triumph.
Simplicity is attained by
the severe limitation of the
subject material to the figure
(i) as the centre of interest ;
the small amount of rock on
which he stands ; the dra¬
peries which, by the sweeping
curve they suggest, lend an
impression of decorative de¬
sign ; and the choice of an
even and unobtrusive setting
in the graduated blue of the
sky.
The material could scarcely
be further reduced without
involving a sacrifice of some
kind, yet, except for a feeling
that it might possibly have
been wiser to have included
the whole of the curve of
the draperies, it does not seem
that any addition is needed.
Even with regard to the
inclusion in question, it is a matter of
opinion, for, while it would afford a
more definite statement of fact, it
would leave less to the imagination.
As the print stands, the full sweep is
suggested, though not actually seen,
and it is a moot point whether the
suggestion is more effective pictorially
than if the whole were included, or
the reverse.
Relative Gradations.
Any alteration in this respect would,
of course, involve an addition to the
20
top and a corresponding reduction in
the scale in which the figure is shown.
That might not be any disadvantage,
assuming the tone of the sky remained
even, but which of the two arrange¬
ments would be preferred would, in
the end, be determined entirely by
individual taste.
In view of the fact that there is only
the one figure, it is unnecessary to
emphasise his predominance, which is,
in point of fact, perfectly obvious,
although it may be mentioned that
his placing is perfectly satisfactory.
The impression of design, however,
arises from the pose of the figure, with
his slightly backward inclination, and
the sweep of the drapeides towards
the right-hand side and their return
to the rock at the base. Taking the
two elements in conjunction, a shape
of elliptical form is suggested, in which
the inner and outer lines provide
160
repetitive notes, and this form it is
that creates the decorative effect.
It will be observed that the tone of
the sky at the top is appreciably
darker than it is at the base. Such a
disposition of values accords with the
impression a blue sky visually conveys,
but it is one that is most difficult to
record photographically. Nor is it easy
to render the darkish flesh tone
of the figure ; the brilliance
of the white draperies in
sunlight ; the delicacy of the
shadow tone ; and, at the
same time, to avoid spoil¬
ing the whole by a lack
of gradation in the shadow
portions of the rock — a
contingency that has been
successfully overcome.
Whether such an excellent
rendering could be obtained
without the use of a fully
colour -sensitive emulsion,
suitably screened, is doubtful,
but, ev'en so, a very nice
degree of judgment is called
for both in respect of exposure
and the extent to which
development of the negative
was carried.
.i4rf and Craft.
That such was exercised
is evident from the exemplary
way in which these distinc¬
tions have been recorded,
and it is the high degree of
craftsmanship that is respon¬
sible for the transmission of
these values in all their
subtlety.
On these values, and on
their ordered arrangement
depends the expression of the
effect of sunshine which forms the
artistic motive. So that it becomes
clear that the expression of the
jEsthetic idea is wholly dependent
ujx)n adequate technique in conjunc¬
tion with a due regard to the require¬
ments of composition ; and that,
before a successful picture can be
produced, there must be the pictorial
idea, a capacity for seeing that it is
arranged in proper and intelligible
order, and a technique that is sufficient
for its full expression.

^ SEAS
By
H. QUENTIN REEVES.
WHEN I go down to the beach I always go well prepared
with material for at least a dozen exposures, and
also carry with me sky screens and light filters, for
the importance of the sky in seascapes cannot be over¬
estimated. A blank sky is sufficient to ruin any sea photo¬
graph, no matter how beautifully it is composed and
produced.
There are to-day no closed secrets as to how to obtain
natural sky effects. Panchromatic material and filters are
most commonly used, though I still prefer the graduated
sky filters in conjunction
with Verichrome film.
The density of the negative
is a most important point.
Fully exposed, the negative
should be carefully developed
to keep it on the soft side,
and prevent any possibility
of harsh contrasts. The
negative may be slightly
denser than a normal one so
as to take full advantage of
any available tones, while
at the same time there is
no danger of loss of detail
owing to the nature of the
subject.
The sky in nature will
always be found to match
the mood of the sea, and A Sn miner Sea
the photographer must try
accurately to portray the present mood of the sea
by choosing the most suitable height and viewpoint for
his camera.
This does not mean choosing the height of the horizon,
for that comes later, but refers to choosing the most suitable
angle for showing to their best the shadows in the sand,
the foam-crested edge of the sea, and the reflections on a
Beachy Head.
Lom Tide, Birling Gap.
wet beach left by a tide.
The height of the horizon
has long been a debatable
point, and there can be no
fixed rule for its position.
Its height plays a large
part in illustrating the exact
mood of the sea. Quite a
good tip was once given me
for approximately fixing this
height. For normal views of
calm seas taken from a
beach, keep the horizon
between one-third and one-
fifth from the bottom. For
rough seas, keep it one-
quarter to a half from the
top. This, of course, does
not apply to photographs
taken from an elevated viewpoint.
Try to picture the sound of the sea from the illustrations.
Can you hear the “ shss shss ” of the water as it swirls
back over the sand and pebbles, .or the soft boom of the
breaking wave in " A Summer Sea.”
The viewpoint of the third illustration is rather too far
from the sea to transmit the illusion of sound ; but
perhaps if \'ou were to stare intently
into the sea around Beachy Head you
might just catch a faint murmur from
the water.
1 find the sound of the sea a great
help in defining the mood of the sea ;
and I judge the success or failure of
my sea pictures by their ability to
produce the pictorial effect of
sound.
I realise, however, that this is a
personal standard, and it would cer¬
tainty not apply to all. Not only
is beauty ” in the eye of the beholder,”
but all sorts of other impressions
derived from a picture depend mainly
on what is in the eye and the mind of
the observer. The selfsame picture
has different messages for all who
see it ; otherwise its appeal would be
much more restricted than it is.
Fortunately the sea has a whole
store of appeals.

Central 4000.
The Ninth International Congress of
Scientific and Applied Photography will
be held in Paris from Sunday the 7th,
to Saturday the 13th July, 1935. in the
House of the Societe Fran9aise de
Photographic et de Cinematographic,

Members of the Camberwell Camera
Club formed a strong guard of honour
at the wedding of their President, Mr.
Robert M. Barr, P.P.A., to Miss Elsie
M. Randall, which took place at St.
John’s Church, Ealing. As the happy
pair left the church an archway of
tripods was raised, and a battery of
cameras came into action.
Camera Lost. — On August ist a
Rolleicord Camera was stolen from a
car outside a cafe in Exeter. The lens
number is 1473967. Anyone being
offered this camera, or otherwise obtaining
information as to its whereabouts,
should communicate with Messrs. S. A.
Chandler & Co., Arcade Studio, The
Arcade, Exeter.
Camera Found. — A No. 2a Auto¬
graphic Brownie has been found on the
cliff walk between Deal and St. Mar¬
garet’s Bay. It is little the worse for
exposure. The film has been developed,
and one of the subjects is a group ap¬
parently taken near the Margate Yacht¬
ing Club. Any person claiming the
camera should communicate with the
Editor, indicating at the same time
some of the other subjects on the film.
A new cine colour process for standard
35-mm. . films has just been introduced
by the Keller-Dorian Colour Film Cor¬
poration. Some examples were recently
exhibited to a specially invited limited
audience at the Leicester Square Theatre,
the subjects consisting of indoor and
outdoor scenes and seascapes on the
Maine coast. The Eastman Kodak Co.,
of Rochester, N.Y., are manufacturers of
the base, and are also acting as sole
Sales Agents.
Owing to the demand for the lantern
lecture on ” Hadrian’s Wall,” Mr.
Geoffrey E. Peachey has decided to
concentrate upon that subject for
Season 1934-35. Secretaries of photo¬
graphic or kindred societies who would
like to include this lecture upon one of
the most impressive relics of ancient
civilisation in this country in their
syllabus, should submit a selection of
dates between October, 1934, and March,
1935, inclusive, to Mr. Peachey, c/o
The Amateur Photographer, Dorset
House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i.
Only very few vacant dates are now
available.
Messrs. Burroughs Wellcome & Co.
always keep a watchful eye on the needs
of the photographer, whether amateur
or professional, so that it is not surprising
that they have added to their well-
known 'Tabloid products a fine-grain
developer. Those who are interested,
as so many are in these days of miniature
cameras, in a developer of the borax type
will here find a first-rate one ready to
their hand. With the Tabloids are full
instructions as to the use of this de¬
veloper, with time and temperature
tables for dish or tank, and an indication
of the variations demanded by different
brands of sensitive material. For any
and every kind of negative-making this
developer is most satisfactory and
reliable. A single carton contains the
material for preparing 30 oz. of normal
developer.
Messrs. Zeiss Ikon inform us that in
all their 1934 roll-film cameras, with the
exception of the Box Tengor, the
observation window is effectively trapped
to make the camera safe for panchroma¬
tic films. Earlier Zeiss models can in
most cases be similarly adapted at a
cost of 4s. 6d.

ENSIGN FOCAL-PLANE FILM
CAMERA.
HERE are not many folding roll-film cameras of orthodox
pattern with a focal-plane shutter, and so the efforts of
Messrs. Ensign (High Holborn, W.C.i) to meet the
wants of the photographers who are enthusiasts both for
roll films and focal-plane shutters should meet with the approval
of many of them.
The firm have produced a new popular model of their
Autospeed focal-plane roll-film camera for £& 15s., which is
considerably below the price of their standard model. This
economy has been achieved by using the Ensar f/4.5 of Ensign’s
own manufacture, and by keeping the popular model to one
standard type without variations in choice of lens. The
shutter is an Ensign focal-plane with speeds marked from
I /15th to i/5ooth sec.
A noteworthy feature of this camera is that one movement
sets the shutter for the next exposure and winds the film
forward. This enables the worker to take a series of rapid
exposures of one subject ; eight pictures in eight seconds, if
necessary.
Apart from the less costly lens the camera follows strictly
the lines of the higher-priced model — it has rising front, cross
front, two finders, and handy radial focussing. Incidentally,
an important point in these days of pan. roll films, the
camera has a little metal cover to the red window at the
back to shield the back of the film from light. But better
still is the fact that after the film has been set for the first
exposure, the automatic film-winding device obviates the
necessity to expose the back of the film to the red window
at all when winding the film forward after each exposure.
It is evident that much thought has gone to the design of this
camera.

qualities of the Rolleicord have only been incorporated in the most expensive
types of reflex cameras, but the enormous popularity of the Rollelflex (many
of whose patented features are included in the Rolleicord) has enabled the
manufacturers to produce a mirror reflex camera of the very finest type within
everybody’s price reach.
In addition to its sturdy construction and handsome appearance, the Rolleicord
possesses the following features: Increased brilliance of the Finder Lens.
Compensation of Parallax. Round Focussing Knob, with metre scale always

CHILDHOOD and youth are ideal
subjects for the hand camera at
all seasons. This is why boating-
lake photography will always hold
its own. The boating-lake gives us a
locality for snapshots ; there is no need
to wander miles and miles seeking sub¬
jects. Almost always subjects are there
at the right time, and more than this,
they are suitably complete. Harmonious
backgrounds and brilliant foregrounds
lielp to set off that intriguing subject of
the child at play.
The kind of picture to aim at is the
one where action of some sort is sug¬
gested. The start or finish of the race,
an encounter with the swans, topical
discussion, or minnow fishing. Action
too rapid is not required. The longer
the exposure given, the better the result
in tone and gradation. Alternatively
very short exposures should only be used
on bright subjects when the daylight is
quite strong.
You may be an advocate of stalking
the children and snapping a back view,
but 1 submit that the back views are
least interesting, and that there is no
need to be guilty of snapping without
permission. Rather secure the co¬
operation of the children, and avoid the
snap secured by stealth. Better pictures
are made by introducing the camera as
part of the game, and giving credit to
the child’s willingness and understand¬
ing to help create the picture-story.
T30ATING-LAKE
DAVID LEIGH. Ph o tography
On the model-yacht lake.
The lady wins.
J ust what that story is to be depends greatly upon the observ¬
ation of the photographer, and his tact and ability to reconstruct
the story seen, or to use the materials at hand in creating new
stories. Tell the old stories over again ; it is good practice to
copy, but also strive for freshness of interest.
Your camera may be a reflex, or of the folding pocket type ;
both are suitable for the purpose, since critical focussing can
be done. A little experience counts greatly. Some would do
well with a box camera, even though the focus is fixed at distance.
The secret is to choose those subjects that suit the limitations
of your camera. The value of the reflex is of course the large
size of the visual image, but the direct finder comes a good
second, without the extra bulk. Fit a direct finder to your
camera to-morrow, and use it. We read much in the advertise¬
ments about using fast films for dull light and ordinary films for
strong light ; well, you cannot do better.
• With such simple backgrounds to be found around the boating-
lakes it would seem impossible to go wrong. Yet there is no
harm in reminding readers that the background can make or
mar a good group. This is another reason for making young
camera friends young .amateur photographers of the future.
If our picture-story is right except for the background setting,
it is generally possible to arrange a repetition with, a more
favourable point of view, including watching crowds.
Large groups cannot of course be posed, but in a general
way best snaps are made when the figures can be placed to
advantage. Camera consciousness is easily avoided by centring
the children’s interest in their pastim6. The interest of the
boating-lake goes beyond that of model yachting if we wish.
Lessons of the waterside can there be more easily, safely and
interestingly illustrated. The nature study of aquatic plants,
fish or insect life, by means of the camera is worth while, especi¬
ally if the child is there to give the note of appreciation.

Cine Amateurs Use Holidays
Holidays are not allowed to
dim the enthusiasm of mem¬
bers of the Eastbourne
Amateur Cine Enthusiasts’ Club, who
are living up to their official title by
refusing to discontinue studio meetings
during the summer.
The monthly gathering of the club
was held recently at the Oak Cabin
Cafe, and Dr. J. Bodkin Adams
presided over a large attendance of
members and visitors.
The possibilities of the 8-mm. film
were discussed and demonstrated by
a local amateur, Mr. B. C. Windle,
who showed a film of school life made
on Cine-Kodak Eight. Mr. Windle
is keen on games, so that it was not
surprising that school sports were
depicted.
Another local amateur, with, how¬
ever, much longer cine experience, Mr.
H. T. Terry, projected some worth¬
while shots of mountaineering in
Switzerland. Another film shown by
Mr. Terry was definitely a home
production, in that the story had been
written at home and acted by his
young grand-children. It was en¬
titled “ Gumperley’s Guy Eawkes
Day Dream.”
Members of the club are now at
work on their entries for the club’s
summer competition, in connection
with which many handsome prizes
are being offered.
I.F.M.A. Summer School.
It is possible that the I.F.M.A.
Summer School, which was held at
Digswell Park Conference House, Wel¬
wyn Garden City, over the August
Bank Holiday week-end, will prove
to be, in the amateur cine world, the
outstanding event of 1934.
The school marked a definite ad¬
vance in the relations between the
professional and the amateur.
On the Saturday, for instance,
Basil Wright lectured on ” Cutting,”
and Stuart Legg on ‘‘ Shooting.” In
the afternoon a working party of
amateurs went out under the super¬
vision of Mr. Legg, and in'the evening.
By M. A. LOVELL-BURGESS.
Mary Field, whose educational work
for the professional films is so well
known, lectured on ” The Instruc¬

Mr. Peter A. le Neve Foster, Presi¬
dent of the Manchester Film Society,
and a pioneer of the amateur cine
movement, gave an account, on the
Sunday, of his experiences in Mosco\y,
and in the evening John Grierson
lectured on " Sound.” This lecture
was followed by a display of films by
the G.P.O. Film Unit. Many people
well known in the professional and
amateur cine world were present, and
the importance of such contacts to
the movement as a whole cannot be
over-emphasised. Then there was
plenty of practical work and plenty of
opportunities to see the work of
fellow amateurs. The results of such
a school as this are far-reaching, and
amateurs owe a debt of gratitude to
the Independent Film Makers’ As¬
sociation.
I Hear:
That the British Film Institute,
whose official organ is ” Sight and

Making a Merry Christmas — Now
CHRISTMAS is coming. Such a
statement seems unpardonable
when summer holidays are in
full swing, but the amateur cinema¬
tographer must plan ahead. When
your pictorial efforts are in demand at
the family Christmas party, it’s no
good wishing you had made this
shot or that during the days of good
light, or when the weather was suit¬
able for an outdoor set. Now is the
time to prepare your Christmas pro¬
duction.
Let us develop the idea in practical
form with a bright member of the
family starring as Father Christmas,
supported by a ca.st of delighted
children of any age, with all the
incidental ‘‘ eye joy ” — that's a good
word for the cinematographer — of the
festive season. Ninety per cent of the
shots for such a film, be it thirty or
three hundred feet in screen length, can
be made in the average garden.
It’s a safe bet that the family and
friends of any amateur cinematogra¬
pher are heartily sick of just looking
pleasant in front of the cinematic
eye, and are ready to do anything with
a story or plan behind it, in the effort
to become real screen players.
We must have a story. Adopt and
improve upon this suggested plot,
according to your circumstance, family
and facilities.
Christmas approaches, and activity
in the house develops with the ex¬
pectancy of a good time and good
cheer. The trappings and gee-gaws
of Yule appear, and the fun of antici¬
pation — what fun anticipation is in
real life — can be portrayed by the
camera. Then comes the great day,
and by means best suited to the
producer the welcome visitor arrives
with his sack of presents. He is
offered a welcome and distributes
parcels to the lucky folk, and then
departs. The story may then be
developed until the close of the day.
Almost every producer will find in this
theme enough material for any pro¬
duction if he proceeds in the right way.
Screen plays must be planned, and the
best plans are committed to paper,
and probably rewritten before satis¬
faction is achieved.
Let us set down in scenario form the
suggested theme. First, number each
shot you will have to make. Secondly,
the type of shot — close up, or
medium full .shot. Then a brief
description — ” Father carrying par¬
cels.” Finally, the approximate dura¬
tion of the shot — 10 seconds. Our plan
of action will then appear in this form.
Shot I. — Title, ” The Welcome
Visitor,” 8 sec. ; Shot 2. — Close-up,
Fade in — Calendar for December,
finger counts days to Christmas Day,
10 sec. ; Shot 3. — Medium Full Shot,
person carrying parcels, or getting
out of car loaded with parcels, 10-15
sec. ; Shot 4. — Close-up, hand placing
letter in letter-box, 6 sec. ; Sliot 5. —
Close-up, hands taking Christmas Card
from envelope, etc., 10-12 sec. ;
Shot 6, Medium Close-up, child exam¬
ining stocking and finding hole in toe,
8-12 sec. ; Shot 7. — Medium Close-
up, father bewildered by garlands,
artificial Christmas tree, glass tree
decorations, 10—15 sec. ; Shot 8. —
Medium Close-up, father on step
ladder hanging up garlands, hits
finger with hammer, 12—15 sec.
Etcetera, according to theme.
The main essential is to get one’s
ideas down on paper, with a definite
plan in view ; the character and pos¬
sibly humorous viewpoint of each
shot, together with the approximate
duration. This will give you an exact
working programme, and, more im¬
portant still, a fairly accurate estimate
of the amount of film required and
the expense involved.
Now about the " studio ” and
properties. In cinematography the
best screen effects are obtained with
close-up and medium-length shots,
and it will be obvious that most of
the shots in a film of the character
suggested will fall into these categories.
A little ingenuity, therefore, in the
matter of back-cloths will enable
camera work to be undertaken at this
time of the year. Where interior
shots are absolutely necessary, a well-
lighted attic, with light distempered
walls and a movable light reflector,
will provide an ideal studio. Good
pictures are made by such equipment
with an f/3.5 lens and panchromatic
film. Also garlands, pictures, a mirror
or clock are easily fixed or removed
as required. Walls papered with a
” fussy ” patterned paper, even if of
a light tone, should be avoided. A
splendid light reflector, which may also
be used as a projection screen, can be
made by painting with flat white a
large-sized board of plywood, say
about 48 X 36 in.
The “ props ” required are of every¬
day character, and readily obtainable
at small cost ; items such as a Christ¬
mas card, a spray of artificial holly
and mistletoe, Christmas crackers,
tree decorations, and a lot more of the
joyous nonsense as.sociated with Yule-
tide. A few rolls of red and white
crepe paper in the hands of someone
clever with scissors and needle will
provide a wonderful robe for Father
Christmas, and a false beard, prefer¬
ably white or grey, will complete
the illusion. Imagination and enter¬
prise on the part of the producer will
ensure a success that will ” bring
down the house.” H. K. Morris.
“CHARCOAL BLACK”
Anew printing paper of outstanding quality, and giving
prints of exceptional beauty, is being put on the British
market. It is known as “ Charcoal Black,” and already
has a considerable vogue in the United States. It is made by
the Dassonville Co. of San Francisco, and is obtainable in this
country from the sole agent for the British Isles, George H.
Potts, Loudwater, Rickmansworth, Herts.
“Charcoal Black” is made in several grades, from “A,” a very
thin white drawing paper, to “ G,” extra heavy “ opaline
parchment ” ; " D ” is a very attractive grade — a rough paper
with surface similar to Whatman drawing paper. This should
be very popular. Apart from the surface textures available
with this printing medium, its chief characteristic is the ex¬
quisite matt quality of the image and the perfect range of
tone gradations obtainable. It is a paper that gives a definite
individuality to prints, and can be commended for exhibition
work.
" Charcoal Black ” is a development paper of approximately
the speed of normal bromide paper, and can be printed, en¬
larged and developed in the same manner. Formulae for
M.Q. and amidol are given with each packet, and full working
directions. While the cost of the paper is in excess of bromide,
its quality justifies the price. Full particulars and sample
prints can be obtained on application to the address given.

IlHf AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER

^T^eaders^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed ; “ The Editor, The Amateitr Photographer
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.r,” and in every case, without exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions mvist be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped WTapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it w'ithout fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as " How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are loo
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) .All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query *’ or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroa i
must coniain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issu<
10 reacn the enquirer.
Strip Negatives.
I develop my spools of film by “ see-sawing.” Is
there any way of giving longer or shorter develop¬
ment to any given section ? W. M. (Bath.)
It is a simple matter to cut the strip
into sections with scissors, as the divisions
can be clearly seen even in the dark¬
room. You can then continue with the
negatives separately, and modify the
development times as you please.
Aerial Focussing.
Will you please explain what is meant by “ aerial ”
focussing, and what is the method of procedure ?
C. M. E. (Leicester.)
This method of critical focussing can
only be adopted with the aid of a
focussing magnifier or eyepiece. This
is a magnifying lens fitted in a brass
mount with focussing adjustment. A
fine mark is made with a hard, sharp
pencil on the ground glass of the focus¬
sing screen, and the focus of the mag¬
nifier is adjusted so that the mark is
dead sharp, and this must be the adjust¬
ment for future use. A small circular
piece of glass is now cemented over the
pencil mark with Canada balsam. The
image thrown by the lens can be exa¬
mined at this clear spot through the
eyepiece. This image is very brilliant
and riot modified as elsewhere by the
grain of the focussing screen.
Exposures with Pinhole.
Is there such a thing as a formula for working out
the exposures with the same pinhole at different
extensions ? M. M. (Deptford.)
Fortunately there is. Two things
must be known — the diameter of the
pinhole as a fraction of an inch, and
the distance in inches from pinhole to
plate. Work out the exposure as if
the diameter of the hole were the f/
number, and multiply the time of
exposure so found by the square of the
pinhole-plate distance. For example,
suppose that the pinhole measures
I /30th of an inch, and that it is 8 inches
from the plate. Suppose, further, that
the exposure for the subject at f/30
is half a second ; multiply this by 64
(8““^) and the exposure will be 32 seconds.
Drying Net.
What exactly is a drying net ?
J. A. G. (London.)
It is a piece of thin, finely woven
fabric, such as butter muslin, which
has been thoroughly washed out to
remove any dressing, and then attached
by opposite edges to two rods or canes.
It is slung up something like a hammock.
The prints are surface - dried and laid
face downwards on the net, where they
dry quickly, and with less curl than if
they are pinned up.
Hyperfocal Distance.
How can I find the hyperfocal distance of the
lens on my camera ? How is it used when found ?
H. E. A. (Sunderland.)
Your questions rather suggest that
you do not understand what is meant
by the term. There is no such thing as
one definite hyperfocal distance. You
must first decide what degree of diffusion
is permissible — looth, 150th, 200th of
an inch, or what. You then square the
focal length of the lens, multiply by
100 (or 150, or 200, etc.), and divide
by the f,/ number ,of the stop. The
result will be the distance on which to
focus to get the greatest depth of de¬
finition with your lens used at that
particular stop.
Enlarging Distance.
What is the rule for finding the distance from lens
to easel for a given degree of enlargement ?
T. B. (London.)
Take the number of times of enlarge¬
ment (2, 2|, 3, etc. diameters), add i,
and multiply the result by the focal
length of the lens in inches.
166
Bleacher for Bromoils.
Can yon give me a reliable solution for bleaching
^ bromide prints for bromoil work, and indicate
how it should be used ? G. H, E. (Southampton.)
There are many such solutions, and
each bromoil worker has his own pre¬
ference. That of Mr. C. J. Symes is for ;
A. Copper chloride . . 160 grs.
Common salt . . 2 oz. 300 grs.
Hydrochloric acid . . 3 min.
Water . . . . . . 10 oz.
B. Potassium bichromate 55 grs.
Water . . . . . . 10 oz.
The working solution is A, one. part ;
B, one part ; water, two parts. Bleach
the soaked print thoroughly in this,
wash out all removable stain, fix for
five minutes in 10 per cent hypo, wash
well and dry.
Plain Hypo.
I understand that in some cases it is better to use
plain (not acid) hypo for fixing bromide prints. If
this is so, what are those cases ?
E. L. F. (Rochdale.)
The only cases we can recall are those
in which the bromide print is to be
sulphide toned, or used for bromoil
purposes. It is quite safe to use plain
hypo for bromide prints, so that this
can be done if there is any uncertainty
as to their future treatment.
Safe-lights.
I am considering the equipment of a dark-room.
Should I have two separate lamps, with appro¬
priate safe-lights, for developing negatives and
prints respectively ? S. T. E. (London.)
This is quite unnecessary. You can
get a single lamp with two or more
interchangeable safe-lights, and in the
ordinary way this is all that is necessary.
Grain in Enlargements.
Is it really possible to produce from small nega¬
tives enlargements sufficiently free from grain to
be suitable for exhibition purposes ?
W. L. S. (Northampton.)
You should not allow yourself to be
terrified by the grain bogy. Many of the
very finest exhibition prints of to-day
are produced from negatives that by
any standard would be classified as
“ small.” These negatives have been
properly exposed and developed, and
the enlargements made on a suitable
paper ; and neither those who make the
pictures nor those who took them are
reminded that there is such a thing as
grain in a negative — as there always
is. It is quite possible to get obtrusive
grain in a print, just as it is possible to
get false tone values : but neither is
inevitable.
Jig-saw Puzzle.
I have an idea that some; time ago you published
instructions for making a jig-saw puzzle from a
photograph. If so, can you refer me to the
article ? S. R. (Roehampton.)
An article on the subject, with an
illustration, appeared in the issue for
December 14th, 1932.
. Anhydrous Carbonate.
I am aware that one part of anhydrous sulphite is
equal to two parts of crystals ; does this apply
also to anhydrous carbonate ?
R. E. L. (Bromley.)
No. You should reckon one part of
anhydrous carbonate as equivalent to
2^- parts of the crystals.

We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

WHAT with the fine weather,
and the ever-increasing use
of fast panchromatic ma¬
terial, it is not surprising that this
season we have received from readers
a larger number than usual of
complaints on one particular point.
This is the unsatisfactory process¬
ing of such material when en¬
trusted to some D. and P. operators.
We say “ some,” because there are
many reliable firms to whom such
work can be given with complete
confidence. In most of the cases
where we have received complaints
the negatives were absolutely ruined.
One firm gave as an excuse the fact
that they had to take on temporary
assistants during the summer rush.
This is poor consolation to the
sufferer, but we can well imagine
the amount of skill, knowledge and
experience possessed by these casual
” hands.” The obvious course for
the amateur is to hand his exposed
films and plates only to firms with
an undoubted reputation for care¬
fulness and capability ; or, as a
wise alternative, to learn to do such
work himself.
Photographic Centenary in
- ^ Colour.
It was a happy idea to take a
direct colour photograph of the
recent celebration at Lacock Abbey
of the centenary of Fox Talbot’s
invention, and the one-exposure
colour camera on which Mr. W. T. P.
Cunningham has spent so much
ingenuity, pains, and money, pro¬
duced a result worthy of the occa¬
sion. It is a very charming picture
of the entrance to Lacock Abbey
and of the group on the steps. The
faces, at least in the colour block
reproduction, are sometimes a little
difficult to identify, and the colour
process appears to play a curious

trick whereby people look fairer
than they really are. Dark brown
hair becomes auburn, for instance,
and black a pleasant gray. But
instead of picking out minor faults,
one may well wonder that it should
be possible at all.
Tempting the Palate.
A class of subject not often
attempted by the photographer,
although he comes into very inti¬
mate contact with it three or four
times a day, is meals, by which we
mean the arrangement of eatables
on plates and dishes. Just at
present in a commercial photo¬
grapher’s window not far from
Chancery Lane there are some
choice examples of photography
along these lines. With appropriate
lighting and arrangement, eggs and
bacon can become almost divine,
even more appetising as seen on the
print than they are in reality.
Salads are perhaps a trifle too fussy
to attempt, and cakes and the like
need very careful handling if they
are to appear edible at all ; but in
the window aforesaid there are some
excellent examples of fruit and
other dishes. To those who care
to take the necessary pains, and
also to bid their appetites wait
awhile, there are many possibilities
in the breakfast or dinner table ;
not the general ensemble of plate
and napery which makes the con¬
ventional picture, but the isolated
dish with its more or less artistic
contents. The most ambitious effort
which the artist along this line has
attempted, however, is a trayful of
cups and platters for washing-up,
just placed higgledy-piggledy on
the tray, with the scraps of food
and slops of tea remaining. The
thought strikes us that housewives
should insist on some such picture as

this having a prominent place in the
dining-room where it will catch the
husband’s eye.
A Dark-room in an Ambulance.
A well-known I^ondon radio¬
grapher tells us of some of the
curious pitfalls which lie in the
path of the interpreter of the X-ray
photograph. The ordinary person
might suppose that just a single
silk garment would not interfere
with the view of the bones and
tissues, but, in fact, both artificial
and real sillcs are loaded with metallic
dyes, and these may simulate in the
picture the appearance presented
by disease. Again, all photographic
emulsions, but especially the emul¬
sion coating of an X-ray film, are
very sensitive to pressure, and if a
film is withdrawn hurriedly from the
paper wrapper there may easily
appear on the negative what might
be an abnormality of some sort to
cause perplexity to the examining
physician and surgeon. Our in¬
formant, by the way, Mr. H. T.
Terrier, has had a very great
deal to do with the equipment of
the X-ray ambulance of the Order
of St. John and the British Red
Cross Society, serving the hospitals
of I^ondon and the Home Counties.
In addition to the X-ray equipment.
the ambulance contains in its rear
part an excellently-fitted dark-room,
in which the temperature of the de¬
veloping, fixing and water tanks is
electrically controlled. An illumin¬
ated viewing screen allows inspection
of the wet films under ideal conditions.
How the Talkie Talks.
A pi'etty stiff holiday task it has
been to assimilate Dr. C. P2. K. Mee’s
recent Trueman Wood lecture on
photographic aspects of sound re¬
cording. A great amount of study
has been devoted during the last
five years to the photographic
problems which arise in connection
with the recording and reproduction
of sound, and a general understand¬
ing has been reached as to the
principles involved, and the con¬
ditions which bring about satis¬
factory quality in the sound re¬
produced. .What we liked most
about Dr. > Mee’s lecture was his
schematic representation of the cycle
of operations in sound recording —
twelve operations in all, including as
No. I the note emitted by, say, a
saxophone in the film studio, and
as No. 12, the reception thereof by
the ear of the listener wherever
the spool of film is carried. The
saxophone (or the bleat of the sheep,
or the lowing of kine, or any sound
you like) emits pressure waves which
a microphone converts into electrical
energy. This is amplified, and oper¬
ates a galvanometer which is so
designed that the variations in
electrical intensity are transformed
into variations in the intensity of
a beam of light. These variations
are photographically recorded on
a moving film, which is developed
and printed on a positive film,
which is also developed, and then,
in a projector, controls the intensity
of a beam of light from a lamp. The
light transmitted by the film falls
on a photo-electric cell and is con¬
verted into electrical energy, which
energy, after amplification, operates
a loud-speaker which re-converts
the electricity into sound. The
reproduction thus takes place
through six transformations. The
sound is converted into electricity,
the modulations of which are trans¬
formed into variatioirs of light in¬
tensity, these then produce chemical
transformations by the photographic
process, the silver deposit produces
changes of light intensity which
are transformed into electrical vari¬
ations, and these finally into sound
by a loud-speaker. And to think
that at the end of it all the glorious
accent of America is conveyed to
British audiences !
tJXSPOOLIXCi
The easily-made accessory shown in the accompanying
illustration is intended to simplify the task of
unspooling roll films, and to ensure that scratching
and curling — frequent experiences where unspooling is
accomplished by hand — are entirely avoided.
The accessory consists simply of a pair of wooden blocks,
each carrying a small projecting boss by means of which the
spool is retained loosely in position. If desired, the blocks
can be mounted on a small stand ; but for greater conveni¬
ence they may be countersunk flush with the edge of the
bench or table.
ROLL FILMS
When using, the spool of exposed film is taken into the
dark-room and slipped into position between the project¬
ing bosses — one of which is retained in position by means
of pressure from a small flat spring. The paper backing
should then be removed with the left hand, the right
being free to remove the film where it is attached to the
backing.
The dimensions of the accessory are to some extent
dependent upon the size of film being dealt with ; but in
most cases a short piece of i-in. planed wood should be
found satisfactory for the uprights. For the metal bosses,
use may be made of a couple of French nails — one of which
must be firmly secured into its block, whilst the other is
made to slide loosely within a hole previously made with
a small gimlet.
The flat tension which serves to control the loose boss
can be improvised from a corset spring or from a shoe
stretcher (obtainable for a few pence from Woolworth’s
stores) .
Two bench slots — suitably spaced — may then be cut for
the accommodation of the device. Gimlet holes (made
through the blocks and into the bench itself) are a great
aid to attachment — which is accomplished by means of a
couple of thin wood-screws driven well home into the
bench. The cost of this simple accessory is practically
negligible, whilst all constructional work can be finished
by the amateur himself in a very short space of time.

TToliday Photography
All holidays are not spent by | T I
the sea, and the enthusiastic I i ^ I I ^ I J
photographer will be at no loss ^ A. m. A. ^
for subjects inland. A few hints and suggestions are here offered
on the work to be done.
There are many good reasons
for spending a holiday season,
when occasion offers, on
or near the sea. Among them are
the health’giving and invigorating
effect, especially on town-dwellers,
and the special character of certain
amusements and recreations not to
be enj oyed elsewhere . T o the photo¬
grapher many attractive and popular
subjects are there available, and
the lighting conditions make for
successful results. Even far from
the sea, however, there are many
compensations, and no lack of
camera subjects of a different and
by no means inferior character.
Landscapes.
It is beyond dispute that many
of the most distinguished masters
of photography have their reputa¬
tions founded on landscape work.
To some extent pure landscape has
been neglected in recent years by
both photographers and painters.
We hear that of the pictures sold
at this year’s Academy very few
were landscapes. This can be but
a passing phase, for really good
landscape work can never lose its
appeal.
For this work it is an advantage
to use a camera which permits of a
careful study of the subject, full
size, on a focussing screen. Faults
in composition which might be over¬
looked as excusable in a necessarily
hasty snapshot are not permissible
in serious landscape work. There
is no excuse for haste or carelessness,
and the subject should be selected
and arranged with meticulous care.
Colour-sensitive material and suit¬
able filters must be employed, so as
to do the fullest justice to colour
values ; and it must be remembered
that the sky very often plays an
important part in landscape com¬
positions. As with a portrait sub j ect ,
care must be taken to secure the
“character” of the subject, whether
its theme be moor or mountain,
hill or vale, woodland or marsh.
Village Subjects,
We yet have many villages still
unspoilt, and their rustic beauties
will provide many dehghtful subjects
as they have for generations past.
Not all the sweet Aubums have
fallen into decay, or, worse still,
been “ modernised,” and the observ¬
ant photographer enjoying a country
holiday will easily find plenty of
subjects to test his skill.
For some aspects the handy hand
camera will prove its value, especially
for records of village life and charac¬
ter. Field and farm will provide
opportunities for real picture-making;
and such pleasant subjects as old
windmills, watermills, barns, chur¬
ches and humble homesteads must
not be overlooked.
In Towns.
It may happen that a holiday is
spent in and about an actual town.
The subjects to be found will depend
on the character of the town, but
subjects there will assuredly be.
More than likely the architectural
photographer will find himself in
his element.
There may be a cathedral ; pos¬
sibly a castle ; certainly buildings
of interest in some form or another.
Here again the stand camera will
often be required, as the same care
must be given to the exact arrange¬
ment of architectural subjects as in
the case of pure landscape. A
point should be made of learning
something about the town before¬
hand, so as to be aware of subjects
of special interest — historical, liter¬
ary, archaeological and so on.
The Rovers,
Most of us are rovers nowadays,
and it is more than likely that our
holiday will be spent in no one spot,
urban or rural, or even in one
district. Coaching or hiking, by
car or cycle or train, we may travel
about and see more of our country in
a week than some of our forefathers
saw in a lifetime.
In such cases we shall reap the
benefit of the small and light ap¬
paratus fortunately available. Our
camera will not be a burden, but a
comfortable and helpful companion,
ever ready and capable. It will do
us excellent service everywhere and
at all times, and with no real
trouble at all it will provide us
with a store of pictorial mementoes
of where we have been and what we
have seen in highways and byways,
in busy towns and sleepy villages,
and out in the wide spaces and
amongst the hills.
Wasted Chances.
With such opportunities it would
be a thousand pities to waste them,
and some of them will assuredly
be wasted unless we take the trouble
to understand our apparatus and
material, and learn to use them with
readiness and skill. If we are wise
we shall learn to do more — to make
our own negatives and prints. We
know what we have seen, and what
we wish to convey to others when
we show them our holiday harvest
of photographs.
Some such harvests of records of
a really glorious inland holiday do
not arouse the interest or give the
pleasure that might reasonably have
been expected, simply because we can
show nothing but the stereotyped
mass-production prints so familiar
that they breed the contempt which
they too often deserve. Our holiday
photographs should be on a vastly
higher plane than that.
The cinematographer need be
under no misapprehension as to find¬
ing plenty of good “movies ” inland.
They will be different from seashore
subjects, but there is no reason
whatever why they should be in any
sense inferior.

Letters to the Editor
a The Editor is not responsible for the opinions of his correspondents.
DEVELOPER TURNING BLACK.
Sir, — In your page of queries, August 8th, a reader asks
for guidance in the making of developers. I think the cause
of his trouble lies in the fact that sulphate of soda is being used
instead of sulphite of soda. The supplier might not know the
necessity of using sulphite of soda, the sulphate (Glauber salt)
being much more familiar to the ordinary “ chemist.”
In England, sulphate of soda (Glauber salt) is usually sold
in pea crystals, whereas in Scotland it is usual to supply
feathery crystals ; therefore there is less chance of a mistake.
I had a case of this kind ; an amateur went to a local “ chem¬
ist,” who had recently taken up the sale of films and D. and P.,
and asked for carbonate of soda and sulphite of soda to make
pyro-soda developer. The developer was, made up with the
chemicals supplied and the film developed. The result would
have made a sun-bather envious. The film was brought to me
for expert opinion. After enquiries were made and a few
tests, I discovered that sulphate of soda (Glauber salt) had
been used in compounding the developer.
One very curious point came out during the examination :
the amateur was a teacher of chemistry in a secondary school.
—Yours, etc., JOHN CUMMINGS.
as the perforated edge protects the actual picture. While on
the subject of costs, the camera Mr. Dickinson finally bought,
the Dallmeyer Dual, costs, as a matter of fact, very much the
same as a Leica Standard, I believe, both being non-automatic
focussing. He has thus not chosen a very happy example for
his argument, on the score of price, anyway.
As to a Leica or Contax being too difficult to use, surely
this is not so. The automatic winding is a boon only appreci¬
ated to the full in actual use, as is also the resultant quickness
in successive exposures. If objection is raised to spooling
difficulty, surely any dealer supplying film will do this for
the customer, and at least one advertiser in this paper offers
this advantage.
In his last paragraph Mr. Dickinson gives away one point.
No cine-film type camera has to be made panchromatic-proof,
as there is no red window.
Has Mr. Dickinson ever experienced the marvejlous handi¬
ness of the Leica depth-of-focus ring, actually readable on
the lens collar when setting the focussing scale ? It has revolu¬
tionised my methods of setting the distance. And if he and I
were to set off together on a world-tour, he would presumably
arrive on the boat with a suit-case of No. I20 panchromatic
films (unless he fancied he could obtain them at each port)
while I would merely insert in my luggage a 5-in. by i-in. round
tin containing 100 ft. of cine film, sufficient for 684 exposures !
I have no interest in the Leica or any other camera, nor^in
any photographic business. — Yours, etc.,
” MINNIE A. CHURE.”
Sir, — In your issue of the 8th inst. you published a reply
to a query concerning IVLQ. developer which turned black ;
in your reply you sjate you have not heard of this trouble,
but that you suspect the sodium sulphite.
When I first started making my own developer, I made
up M.Q. and had precisely the same trouble, and I should not
be surprised if your querist has made the same mistake as I
did, that is, mixed the metol, hydroqiiinone, and then added
sodium carbonate before the sulphite, which causes the solution
to change colour immediately. Perhaps if this were pointed
out to your querist his trouble would be remedied. — Yours,
etc., J. A. HARRIS.
A MINIATURE CAMERA.
Sir, — Mr. R. E. Dickinson in his letter printed in your
August 8th issue, alleges the superiority of the i6-on-i20 film
camera over the cin6-film type. He objects that the latter is
‘‘ too small, too heavy, too expensive, and too difficult to use.”
I do not think he can be speaking from experience of the type,
or he would realise the untenability of all these objections,
barring, perhaps, the last but one.
Let us compare the Leica III and the Zeiss Super Ikonta
(small model) as typical examples of the two classes, both
having f/3.5 lenses of unsurpassed reputation, both automatic
focussing, and shutters comparable (though the Leica possibly
has the advantage here).
As to size of negative, this is of no importance, since in both
cases one has to enlarge. No miniature camera can beat the
cine-film type for sheer ability to produce enlargeable negatives.
As to weight, I have not the figures handy, but surely it is only
a few ounces difference, and that is hardly worth considering.
With regard to expense it is perhaps harder to establish
equality. Admittedly fhe first cost of a Leica is about los.
more, but in use the smaller type is far more economical,
especially for the man who uses his camera a good deal and
likes to take several views of a promising subject. To take a
low amount, say, eight or nine exposures a week, as a basis
for calculation. In super-panchromatfc film this will cost
the Ikonta user gd. a week, or approximately £2 a year, while
a length of film producing thirty-six pictures in 24X36 mm.
size can be obtained through an advertiser in this paper for
IS. 6d. This works out at 4|d. a week, or igs. 6d. a year,
though this is halved in my own case, as I pay gd. per spool in
bulk. Probably most miniature users consume easily double
this amount per week, and many quadruple (,£4 a year saved).
This saving mitigates the higher first cost a great deal, as the
difference is made up in a year or so, and for the rest of the
camera’s life it is saving money at the same rate.
It is also easier to handle the cine-film type in processing
SKY FILTERS.
Sir, — If Mr. J. H. Barnett will act on his own suggestion,
and take the trouble to draw the paths of the rays through the
lens of his camera, he will see, as the attached diagram clearly
shows, that with the lens at full aperture, a graduated sky
filter will have little or no effect (as such), if placed near the
lens either in front or behind, or between the lens components.
The effect would be as shown at either of the positions marked
X, where rays of light from every part of the subject would
pass through hath upper and lower portions of the filter.
If, however, the lens is stopped down, and the filter placed
as far as possible from the lens (without interrupting any rays
to the corners of the plate) the effect would be, as at Y, of a
filter somewhat larger than the lens aperture, applied to the
rays of light before they have become mingled as before.
It would thus appear that in most cases stopping down the
lens to a small aperture would increase the ability of the sky
filter to confine its attentions to the upper portion of the
picture. — Yours, etc., D. RODNEY HALSON.
PRICE OF FILMS.
Sir, — The other day I was nearly foolish enough to purchase
a quarter-plate roll-film camera. I abandoned the idea when
I learned that the film costs 2s. for six exposures- — qd. per
exposure.
In this connection I notice a curious anomaly, for a spool of
2^ X 4J costs only is. 5d. for eight exposures — 2^-d. per exposure.
Unless my arithmetic is at fault, the ratio of x 3 J to 4^ X 2^
is as 13.81 to 10.625. I think it can be reasonably assumed
that the relative cost of manufacture should be at least in about
the same ratio. That being so, surely the quarter-plate size
could be marketed at about 2-|-d. per exposure.
It seems that the makers are trying to do away with any
possible enthusiasm by the public for what has for years been
a most popular size. — Yours, etc., J. E. TUCKER.

Garden Life
By W. PYE.
HOTOGRAPHY and gardening
make excellent twin hobbies.
Flowers, fruit and vegetables
have their life-stories, full of interest
and attraction while they grow, and
photography can capture each phase
for permanent records when their
natural life has ceased. Some garden
products are more suitable for following
up than others, but charming subjects
like the accompanying rose-bud series
are easily taken.

the box-form, but the latter will re¬
quire either a supplementary lens,
or some form of lens adjustment for
close-up subjects, in order to get a
reasonable sized image. A tripod or
other support will be necessary for
the camera. See that the lighting
comes from the right or left, so as to
get relief and modelling instead of
flatness, and take each picture about
the same time of the day. Morning
and evening are preferable to midday.
Keep the background subdued and
out-of-focus, taking care to avoid
spotty high-lights. A temporary back¬
ground can be quickly improvised with
a sheet of uncreased paper of suitable
colour, and atfached down two edges

to stakes driven in the ground. If
the subject trembles in the wind,
a stake driven into the ground close
to the stem and tied, and exposure
made during a still period, will help
to overcome this trouble. The stake
must not appear in the picture.
Colour-corrected films or plates are
desirable for this work, and exposures
gauged as “ near subjects ” will be
about correct. Beware of over-devel¬
opment, as this will tend to chalkiness
of the high-lights.
Before taking the first subject, bear
in mind that the final picture needs
to be kept within the dimensions of
the film or plate, and a suitable
distance estimated accordingly.

The pleasure steamer.
There are many small ports around our
shores, adjacent to both inland and sea¬
side holiday centres. To visit one during
some portion of the vacation makes a
pleasant change, and is certain to provide interesting
relaxation and new photographs.
The giant liners may be missing, but there is no
lack of sea-going craft, and the fact that they are on
a smaller scale is often an advantage. It will also
be found that one is more free to wander about
without permit when looking for pictures and view¬
points.
When planning a visit it is advisable to select, if
possible, a period of high water coinciding with
morning or afternoon sunlight ; the former making
for greater activity in the harbour, and the latter, of
course, for better photography. But especially in
a small port do I advise that if a subject pleases.

“ sails,” in the shape of barge, brig and schooner, are
often to be seen alongside the quay, while upon this
will be groups of fishermen or children.
When the loading or unloading of merchandise takes
place there are sure to be opportunities for excellent
‘‘ shots.” These will demand a quick eye and a fairly
fast shutter speed, but direct light is assisted by
that reflected from the waters of the harbour and
take it. The sun may be absent
and an analysis of composition may
show anything but perfection ; never¬

concerned, the scene may provide a,
very pleasant record of something
which, to him, was worth preserving.

the bogy of under-exposure is unlikely to be present.
But if a camera with only a simple shutter is used, it
will be found that many of the subjects mentioned can
easily be taken by waiting for the moment of least move¬
ment. Often a group is almost stationary, or a movement
in working often repeated, so that it becomes possible
to choose the exposure time with an eye to the most
attractive arrangement and effective lighting.
I always find that one point needs very careful atten¬
tion when photographing from the edge of a tpiay. This
is the minimising of the effect of that awkward angle of
stonework, which so often cuts across the lower half of
a photograph. Dockside gear can sometimes be found in
a suitable position to fill this, but in any case it is well,
when using a short-focus lens, to allow for a liberal trim
from the bottom of any print which shows this feature.
Unloading the barge.
Apart from its exaggerated perspective, the nearer portion is almost sure
to be out of focus.
The development of most seaside negatives needs some adjustment in
comparison with that of those taken inland. The strong reflected light
causes a lack of contrast, so that development can be carried a good deal
farther than for a similar subject photographed away from the sea. In¬
creasing the normal time allowance by half will be suitable for the majority
of negatives made during an expedition to one of Britain’s small ports.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From ^formation communicated to our Special Representative.
Mr. W. G.
KENNINGS-
KILBOURN.
About thirty years ago I was
the proud possessor of a
^ quarter-plate box camera, and
my first experience of photography was
obtained while crouching inside a dark
cupboard with a smoky oil lamp for
company. Since then, and until two
years ago, I considered photography as
a means of recording family likenesses,
etc., and although during this period
I had many different cameras, and did
all developing and printing, photography
as a vehicle for artistic expression never
occurred to me until I joined a camera
club and visited the R.P.S. exhibition.
This aroused my enthusiasm ; the pur¬
chase of a horizontal condenser enlarger,
dishes, and chemicals in bulk soon
followed, and in due time my first prints
were submitted to the club judges.
“ Helpful criticisms set off by en¬
couraging remarks were soon forth¬
coming, and such erudite expressions
as ' chiaroscuro,’ ' intersection of the
thirds,’ etc., opened up quite a new
field of thought.
" Why all these ‘ high-brow ’ technical
words and phrases over a simple photo¬
graph ?
" Further investigation seemed neces¬
sary, so ‘ The A.P.’ was ordered, text¬
books were read and the hi.story of
photography was studied from its infancy.
“ By now I was really enthusiastic.
Many ancient cameras were purchased
for their historical interest, and many
happy months were spent in testing
their capabilities.
" It should encourage beginners to
learn that se. eral of my winning prints
were taken with the cheapest form of
2JX2J roll-film bo.x camera. My
favourite camera now is a quarter-
plate Shew ‘ Xit ’ with a Goer^ Dagor
f/6.8 lens, and although 1 occasionally
use other cameras with f/4.5 lenses,
I always feel that the old Goerz has
something the others lack.
“ ‘ How I make my exhibition pic¬
tures ’ can be answered very simply.
Scrupulous care is always exercised,
whether preparing a print for exhibition
or otherwise. Bromide or chloro-bromide
paper is used, and the developer is
specially mixed to suit the paper.
The composition of the subject on the
easel is treated as a fine art, and no
time spent in this way is ever begrudged.
Paper is not spared to find the correct
exposure, which to me means detail in
the high-lights with no loss of shadow
detail.
“ Sometimes it is necessary to ‘ sun
down ’ or ' shade ’ a portion of the print ;
but apart from this, all my serious work
is straightforward photography. I ad¬
mire the skill of those who are able to
print in skies from a separate nega¬
tive, at the same time keeping the tonal
qualities of the sky and landscape in
accordance with nature ; yet to me,
most prints produced in this way lack
a very subtle ‘ something ’ which is
difficult to define.
" The development of plates or films
is always carried out by inspection
(panchromatics being first desensitised).
I use the slowest speeded plate that
circumstances permit, which, with the
usual M.Q. developer, produces a nega¬
tive of fine grain, permitting enormous
enlargement.
" Like many others, 1 await the time
when prints in colour can easily be
obtained direct from one negative. Any
monotone rendering of our colourful
world, however true the tonal values
may be, is to me but a poor represent¬
ation of nature. Will some unusual
process solve the problem ?
“ ‘ To-morrow will be Friday ’ was
taken on a very dull and overcast grey
afternoon. As will be seen from the re¬
production, the scene was inspired by the
well-known picture ‘ Thursday.’ The
‘ monks ’ were rehearsing for the Pageant
of Runnymede, and I felt that such an
opportunity should not be allowed to
pass without a pictorial record of the
scene.”

PICTURES oftKeWEEK
Some Critical Cammentt ” ”
IN a collection of subjects which, in
some aspect or other, have a con¬
nection with the sea, No. 4,
■" Stern,” by R. G. Lake, seems to
strike an individualistic note, for
there is something out of the common,
not only in the fact that the material
has been restricted to a portion instead
of the whole of the vessel, but also in
respect of the angle from which she
has been viewed.
The Individualistic Touch.
The height of the viewpoint lends
the quality of novelty to the per¬
spective lines, and the limitation of the
subject matter to that which is
sufficient to form a design of attractive
shape enables the representation to
invite an interest without conveying
a suggestion of eccentricity.
Whether the picture was obtained
by means of a chance shot or by
deliberate intention has not been
disclosed. In the first event, a measure
of credit is nevertheless due on account
of a more or less instinctive realisation
of the possibilities, and, in the second,
a greater degree of commendation is
deserved. Nevertheless, and however
obtained, the result displays that
touch of individuality, in embryo,
that distinguishes the work of the
artist from the more laboured efforts
of the uninspired craftsman.
It has personality, and, in its class,
is very promising indeed. It is the
sort of thing that, with suitable
treatment, could be made into quite
a pleasing exhibition picture.
What it needs is a little accentua¬
tion of the effect of sunshine, and, in
the ' enlarged version, a print of
somewhat greater vigour, and of that
richness , of quality that comes from
technical perfection.
Accentuation and Emphasis.
The effect, at present, seems to be
spread over most of the picture, and,
to provide it with point and value, its
expression should be definitely localised .
If a figure in a light-toned dress
had happened to be present, and had
been caught somewhere in the neigh¬
bourhood of the helm, that figure,
assuming it struck a brighter note than
anything else, would appear as a
note of culmination. It would not
only provide the required touch of
accentuation, but would also serve the
function of concentrating the interest
in the effect on the figure.
However, as a figure of the necessary
character was not available, the
emphasis that is needed might be
secured by heightening the light on the
steering box, which, at present, is just
a shade lighter than its surroundings.
That light tone needs to be exag¬
gerated so that it stands out lumin¬
ously against the bulwarks, which are
also in sunshine above. The easiest
way of brightening up the point in
question would be by the applica¬
tion of one of the transparent dyes,
made for the purpose, to the negative,
the dye being laid on little by little
until the required degree of distinction
has been attained.
It is possible that the slight extra
vigour might be imparted by the
process of enlarging, but quality in
the print depends on its receiving just
the precise measure of development
that the particular grade demands.
Reference to the many textbooks
available will give full information
on this side of the question, which is
much too wide to deal with in an
article of this description, or the
instructions, which accompany each
packet of paper, will afford a useful
and reliable guide.
The Exhibition Season.
The two big exhibitions of the year.
The London Salon of Photography
and the show of the Royal Photo¬
graphic Society, open early next
month, and, while it is too late to
submit entries to the latter, the
closing date for the Salon is the 29th
of this month.
The standard of these shows is
exceedingly high, and acceptance at
either represents an achievement ; but,
while it is too much to expect that a
beginner would meet with success,
there is no harm in trying, although
it might be preferable for the various
club shows and exhibitions in the
provinces to be chosen for a start.
Be that as it may, it would be wise,
for those who are able, to pay a visit
to both exhibitions while they are
open, for not only will they provide
an idea of what is possible in pictorial
photography, but they will also prove
inspiring and helpful.
The part that personality or indi¬
viduality plays in the conception
of each work will be readily discern¬
ible, just as it is, in a minor degree,
with No. 4. It is this which causes it
to stand out from the rest on the page,
and this that gives it its attraction.
Possibilities and Probabilities.
None of the others seems to display
the same qualitv, although there are
possibilities in No. 5, ” In Vigo Har¬
bour,” by R. Crookes.
The white sail stands out exceed¬
ingly well against the setting of sea
and sky, and the reflections are in¬
teresting. The presence of the quay
in the background, however, offers a
drawback that is practically insuper¬
able, for nothing can be done with so
hard a line. If the setting were
limited to sea and sky only, the
probability is that something might
be done with the subject, but, as it
stands, the prospects are remote.
No. 3, ” Arethusa,” by F. Mytton,
has good lines in its composition,
and the sky is nicely clouded. The
sky makes quite an effective setting,
but is not sufficient, in itself, to lend
the print a pictorial appeal, which,
owing to the proportion devoted to the
landscape, should find expression there.
Skies and the Picture.
To carry an artistic attraction in
itself, a sky must have sufficient
appeal to dominate the picture. Be¬
sides this, it should have a considerably
greater proportion of the picture space
than the landscape.
Neither of these conditions is satis¬
fied in the print in question, nor are
they in No. 2, " Coming Home,” by
T. Chadwick. The sky, here again,
is good, but it can scarcely be said to
dominate the picture, nor has it the
needful majority of space.
The steamer is very obviously the
centre of attraction, but its appeal is
topical rather than pictorial, and the
print can only be said to serve its
purpose — and quite a useful purpose,
too — as a record. Nos. i and 6, “ En
Voyage,” by A. Bickerton, and “ Capi-
lano, Vancouver,” by V. W. McMillan,
exhibit a motive of similar nature,
and, as far as they go, may be
regarded as no less successful.

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“ WHO’S AFRAID ? ” hy M. R. Gates.
IF there be just a touch of sentiment
attaching to the subject of this
picture, it is nevertheless interest¬
ing in other aspects, for it portrays
a nice effect of sunshine, and is highly
expressive of a characteristic childish
mood.
Mood and Effect.
Strictly speaking, it is as a child
study that it appeals in the
first instance, and the effect
is secondary ; but, in view of
the difficulty in conveying
any suggestion of sunshine
when practically the whole
area of the picture is under
its influence, it is noteworthy
how well it is expressed.
It will be seen, however,
that the whole setting is in
half-tone, and pretty even.
There is a certain amount of
gradation in it, but no
appreciable contrast. . In the
figure itself (i) the case is
the reverse, for the difference
between the tones of sun¬
lit flesh and the darks of
the hair and bathing-dress
is extreme, so that the effect
is concentrated and strictly
localised. The darks make
the sunshine evident, and,
as there are none in the
setting apart from the figure,
its effect therein is neghgible.
For all practical purposes,
therefore, the sunlight fall¬
ing on the setting does not
count or rank as part of the
effect. In this respect, the
way it has been dealt with
will serve as an example of
how the effect could be em¬
phasised in No. 4 of the prints
discussed on the preceding page, in
which a similar contrast in the vicinity
of the helm would produce a no less
effective concentration.
In this instance, besides localising
the effect, the contrast is useful inas¬
much as it vastly appreciates the
attraction of the figure.
Stress and Contrast.
A light alone, or a dark alone, in
the midst of an area of more or less
uniform half - tone, will inevitably
attract the attention. The truth of this
is easily demonstrated. Take a piece
of neutral-tinted paper — brown, grey,
or buff will do — and put a small
white piece of paper on it. The eye
will be immediately attracted by the
light note and will tend to disregard
the surrounding tint. Take away the
white paper and substitute a piece of
black for it. The black will exercise
the same power of attraction as the
white. If the black and white be
placed on the tinted paper at the same
time, but in different positions, the
one that will attract the most atten¬
tion will be that which affords the
most contrast with the setting ; i.e.,
if the tone of the setting is nearer the
hght than the dark, the latter will
have the greater puU, .and if the
surround verges towards the dark,
the light will be the most prominent.
If the setting is midway in value
180
between the two, interest will be
more or less equally divided. If, how¬
ever, the white and black pieces are
placed together, the pull of the two
will be greater than either by itself,
and, in a picture, the same thing
applies, particularly if, at the same
time, the contrast of tone is strongly
placed.
Here, the strongest tones and the
greatest contrast of tone
appear within the figure,
and, for the reason indi¬
cated above, that alone
would ensure its principality ;
but it is also placed in close
proximity to one of the
points of intersection formed
by divisions of thirds, and
each of these positions, pro¬
vided the others are un¬
occupied, forms as strong a
point of attraction as any
other in the picture space.
The Function of
Composition.
In addition, the figure, as
the sole human element, has
a certain innate pull, and
this, taken in conjunction
with the attraction imparted
by force of position, and by
the concentration of interest
afforded by contrast of tone,
renders its dominance un¬
questionable.
It thus provides one point
upon which the attention is
centred, and, in so doing, the
main function of composition
is satisfied.
There are, it is true, many
other factors which are
governed by the rules of
composition. The question
of form, for instance ; the
value of line and mass; the relation¬
ship of primary and secondary accents,
and the establishment of intercon¬
nection between all parts of the pic¬
ture, are all within its province.
None of these elements enters into
this case because of the simplicity of
the setting ; but it is on account
of the admirable way in which the
composition has been managed that
the study succeeds so well in its
fine representation of childhood.

A" TOPIC of the Week,” in The
Amateiiy Photographer dated
August 8th last, tells of a rector
of a Northamptonshire village who
noticed that photographers pointed
their cameras at the church tower and
then passed obliviously along. “They
always took one particular point of
view, and they never troubled about
any other treasure, pictorial or arch¬
aeological, that the village might have
to reveal.”
The “postcard” view.
Not only in this particular village,
but in many others, touring photo¬
graphers do the same. Apparently,
their idea is to get a general view as a
souvenir of their visit, and having
secured it, and being anxious to cover
War Memorial Cross.
as much ground as possible, they
pass on.
Most village churches are prominent
features of a rural landscape, and one
has little or no difficulty in locating
them. As a rule a village church is
centuries old, and most of them de¬
serve careful inspection, outside as well
as inside, and a walk round a church
will often reveal views very much
better than what may be called the
general view.
For many years I
have lived opposite a
church which stands on
one of the East Anglian
main roads, and I have
seen many motorists
and hikers stop to pho¬
tograph the view. The
church is nicely situated
in a picturesque spot,
and coming upon it
rather suddenly after a
long stretch of uninter¬
esting country the view
appeals to many, and
exposures are made —
ninety per cent of them
from the same spot. ,
In front of the church
is one of the largest chest¬
nut trees in the district,
also the village green, on which stands
a war memorial cross. Some photo¬
graphers try more or less successfully
to dodge the tree and the memorial
cross, while others do their best to
include them, especially if they are
aware of the fact that Bunyan,
Wesley and Spurgeon once preached
on the spot where the cross stands.
After the general or postcard view
of the church and tree, the view most
photographed is the one
showing the tree, cross
and church tower. Off
the beaten track one
may do very much bet¬
ter. If the photographer
would spare five minutes
and go to the western
end of the church
he could include some
picturesque thatched
cottages, and get a
picture which has fig¬
ured on a railway poster,
in guide books and in
the Press, a view that
has brought some photo¬
graphers many a cheque.
In‘j the churchyard,

trouble to explore, cgin be obtained
a pleasing \’iew of the west door
and window, also one of the old
church porch and parvise chamber,
a rarity nowadays, which antiquarians
come many miles to see. From the
back (north side) of the church a
pleasing composition may be found,
especially at wild-flower and blossom
time. Although these remarks apply
specially to one church the same ideas
are applicable to most churches and
buildings elsewhere.
Verily, old village churches deserve
more attention than the modern
tourist photographer gives to them,
and the Rev. H. O. Cavalier, of Little
Brington, is to be complimented on
the work he has done.

Every week an article will appear under this heading dealing
with a topic of interest to the novice in photography.
SELF-TONING PAPER.— III.
NOTES C NOTIONS
^or the
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
ALTHOUGH, for some reason or none, I do not like
glossy prints on self-toning papers, some brands
are made for glazing. The process is not quite so
simple as with gelatine-coated papers ; most self-toning
papers are collodion, and they are liable to curl obstinately,
while if roughly handled the surface may crack and the
print be spoilt.
A print masked and trimmed so as to show a narrow
plain margin always looks well, especially if mounted in
an album with leaves of a different tint from that of the
print. As self-toning prints are more or less warm in
colour mounts and albums should be white cream, or some
shade of brown rather than grey.
In spite of the extravagance of the method it is worth
while at times not to trim and mount a print, but to
mask the print on a piece of paper large enough to make a
mount unnecessary. Double-weight paper is best for the
purpose. For this plan a larger printing frame is required ;
e.g., a 3 X 2 print could be made on a half-plate sheet of
paper. A sheet of plain glass is fitted to the frame, and
the negative laid in position on it ; then comes the mask,
and then the paper. Great care is necessary to make a
neat and accurate job of it.
It was once the fashion to print tint borders round the
print, and sets of masks were made or bought for
the purpose. The effect was often good, but the opera¬
tions were tricky, and not always successful. The truth
is that a print masked on a larger sheet of paper is inclined
to look rather bare and unfinished. My own
remedy for this was to ‘‘ plate-mark ” it.
A genuine plate-mark is the impression made
by the copper plate when an etching is printed ;
and if a similar impression is made on a masked
print the idea is not to suggest that it is an
etching, but to secure that subtle finish which a
plate-mark gives. Here is a way of doing it.
When you cut your mask do not throw away
the little rectangle of paper you have cut out,
but paste it on a bit of smooth hard card such
as thick Bristol board. Trim the card so
that it leaves a margin all round the piece of
paper you have stuck on it. The width of
the margin decides the distance of the plate-
mark from the print all round. Now get a
piece of tracing-paper a little larger than the
card, lay the card on it, and run a pencil
round the four sides. You then have a
rectangle drawn on the tracing-paper the
exact size of the card. Also get two pieces of
stout strawboard rather larger than the paper
on which you have made the print.
Lay down a sheet of strawboard, and put
the print face upwards on it. Adjust the
tracing-paper on the print so that the pencil
line forms an even border round it. ■ Fit
the small card exactly to the pencil line, and
lay the other strawboard on top. Now run
the whole sandwich through the rollers of a
mangle and back ; or put it in a copying
press and screw it up tight. The pressure
will force the card into the paper, and make a
depression exactly like the plate-mark of an
etching. A certain amount of gumption is
required, or the card may slip out of position ;
but if I can do it, surely you can.
The pencil line round the print in the illustra¬
tion is to suggest a plate-mark. A real one
would not show in a reproduction.
And now to repeat a method of intensifying
20
182
August 22nd, 1934
a negative when you want to use it for self-toning paper,
and find it is not strong enough for the purpose. Even if
you do not propose to use such paper, you are sure to have
negatives fronn time to time that would be all the better
for strengthening. The best plan is to put such negatives
aside till you have a batch, say, of a dozen, and then have
a field-day for the purpose. Not that it takes a day, but
you had better be prepared to give at least a couple of
hours to it.
In 10 oz. of hot water dissolve 100 grs. of potassium
bichromate, and when cold add 50 minims of hydrochloric
acid. What the chemist sells as “ commercial pure ”
will do, but I prefer the " pure.” This amount of solution
will easily do your dozen negatives even if they are as large
as -quarter-plates.
Put the first negative in a clean dish, and pour the solu¬
tion over it. Rock the dish gently and continuously.
Very quickly the black image is changed to a yellow one.
Look at the back of the negative, and hold it up to the
light, too. There must not be a trace of black left even
in the densest parts. Transfer the negative to clean water.
If the negatives are films a dish will do ; if they are plates
you should have a rack and tank.
Bleach all the negatives in turn, and then proceed to
wash them. This is where you must be patient. There
hi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
ta 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER e
are ways of removing the bichromate stain quickly, but
there is nothing so good as changes of water and patience.
After a time no more bichromate can be washed out. Of
course, the image itself remains yellow, but the rebates
should be quite clear.
Any " clean ” developer can be used for the next step —
amidol, M.Q., Azol, Rytol, Rodinal, or anything of the
kind ; but better not use pyro. For some time I have been
in the habit of using the amidol which Messrs. Johnson
put up in a tube. It will make 10 oz. of solution inside a
minute, and this again will do your dozen negatives.
As soon as this or a similar solution is poured over one
of the negatives, the image begins to darken again. Keep
on till it is black right through, and then a bit longer to
make sure. When you have done this to all the negatives
they must be washed again, but not for so long as before.
There is nothing obstinate to wash out this time.
If you have bromide or gaslight prints that are weak
and poor in colour, give them exactly the same treatment.
I have sometimes hesitated as to whether or not to throw
away an enlargement, and have put it in an envelope
marked " Intensify.” When I have accumulated a few
I bleach and redevelop them just as I have described,
and more often than not they have been worth it.

Making a Proof from a Negative while WET
WE are often in a hurry to have
a test of a negative which we
have just developed, and
endeavour to dry it rapidly, but often
with ill effect. However, anyone can
now have a proof almost immediately
by adopting the following method,
which I use with perfect results.
Well dry the glass side of the plate
with a wad of cotton-wool or any fine
soft cloth, carefully holding the nega¬
tive in the left hand. This being done,
apply on the gelatine one piece of
cellophane a little larger than the
negative. Care should be taken to
prevent any fold or crease. I find the
quickest way is to place the negative
flat and use both hands. If it is on
film then use two pieces of cellophane,
one before and one at the back, because
the film absorbs the wet and cannot
be dried like the glass. Then place in
the printing frame in the usual way.
When the printing is finished the
cellophane can be gently removed by
drawing off with the thumb and finger,
as shown in the illustration. The
washing and drying may then be done
in the usual way. The cellophane may
be used over again after leaving
suspended to dry, held by a metal or
other clip. H. Barker-Bla^’d.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINfi APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Hints on Directing orlton west.
At four out of the seven amateur
film studios I have visited
recently, I have found so-called
film directors busy on almost any
job except directing. I have watched
them placing cameras, adjusting lights,
fetching last-minute properties, and
doing all kinds of odd jobs which, in
the wisely organised production unit,
are left to the assistant director,
cameraman, continuity clerk, and
other helpers in the good work.
Now if a director’s time and energy
are to be wasted upon a hundred minor
details, he ceases to be an effective
director at all. The poor fellow
cannot see the forest for the trees, and
the general quality of the production
suffers in consequence.
Since it is the director’s job to
co-ordinate the various efforts of the
technicians with those of the players —
in short, to captain the whole team —
he should concern himself solely with
making general decisions on treatment,
and managing the players.
Rehearsals are usually the beginning
of trouble for the amateur director.
He may have described all manner of
startling action and technical feats in
his scenario, and visualised the tre¬
mendous climax in which the hero
floors the villain with a mighty stab
with a carving knife — in his own
imagination. But to try and persuade
a group of flesh-and-blood actors to
put those same ideas into practice
on the set. during rehearsal is a much
more difficult matter.
Indeed, the director who can get his
cast to convey to an audience one-
third of what he intends is lucky.
Among professional directors opin¬
ions differ as to the form rehearsals
should take. “ The directors of early
sound pictures believed a two weeks’
rehearsal of the entire script was
necessary,” Lothar Mendes, the Holly¬
wood director, says ; ” but they were
wrong. With extended rehearsals, we
would have a period of two weeks or
more between the rehearsal and the
filming of the scene. With inter¬
vening effort concentrated on other
scenes, it is not human for the actors
to remember how the scene was done
in the try-out.
" I have come to the conclusion
now that every player should read
his script and know it well before
production starts. A single cast read¬
ing with the director is all that is
necessary to give the players an idea
of the story and characters. After¬
wards it is more economical and makes
for better performances to spend a
few minutes in rehearsal before each
scene.”
That is quite a good idea, and might
well be adopted by the amateur.
It is not at all easy for a director
to induce his players to work to¬
gether as a team, and not as competing
individuals, especially when they are
not well acquainted with one another,
or are unequal as regards experience
and self-confidence.
To get the best out of them, he
must employ all the powers of tact,
diplomacy, and persuasion of which
he is capable. He should be the
section leader encouraging a party of
equals, rather than the schoolmaster
driving a class of incompetent children.
Sometimes he has to resort to subter¬
fuge to gain his ends. For example,
the other day I watched a well-known
director trying to persuade a girl to
laugh heartily and naturally at a joke
which was annoying her husband.
But she was nervous, and could only
produce a restrained little laugh.
What did this director do ? With
infinite patience he talked to her
about her childhood days, until she
was entirely at her ease telling him
a story about her aunt in the country.
Then he encouraged her to dwell upon
some incident which had struck her
as humorous, until he had her rocking
with laughter. And the cameraman
got busy.
The skilful director does not shout
his instructions. Dragooning is most
unpopular with amateur players. It
only scares the timid and sensitive,
and puts everybody’s back up. Both
The launching of a lifeboat, whethev for practice or service, is a first-rate subject for the
amateur.

August 22nd, 1934
during rehearsal and actual shooting
a quiet, self-possessed manner is the
most effective, providing a director
knows, in his own mind, exactly what
he wants done. Even the most
blatant egoist, who is out to exert
himself as loudly as possible, and so
hamper everyone about him, is most
effectually subdued by a quiet deter¬
mination on the part of the director.
What degree of freedom should be
permitted to a player in the inter¬
pretation of a role ? Some directors,
famous for their distinctive and original
style, attempt to instruct their players
in even the smallest movements and
expressions. They will insist upon a
knife and fork being held in a special
way, or a foot being moved forward
at a particular speed. They will
spend hours trying to get their cast
to do things exactly as they wish
them to be done.
But after watching several pro¬
fessional film directors at work in the
studios, I have come to the conclusion
that the too-meticulous method is
not the most fruitful. Once you have
agreed with your leading lady as to
the general effect to be produced by,
say, a sudden outburst of tears, it is
wise to let her achieve it in her own
way, by the methods which she
knows through experience. If her
individuality be allowed to exert
itself within these limits, it will
probably be found that, although
she may not cry in exactly the
way the director desired, her par¬
ticular brand of crying is nevertheless
admirable.
It is really a question of compromise.
The film director is for ever having
to compromise with his players as
well as with his technical assistants.
Psychology can help him a lot in this
ih( amateur photographer \
a 6 CiriEMATOQRAPHER o 1
direction, for it enables him to under¬
stand the temperament and idiosyn¬
crasies of each individual player under
his control, so that he may vary his
manner and method to suit his or her
special needs.
If, for example, there are many
shy beginners amongst the cast, it
is a good idea to gather them to¬
gether on the set and let them
relax into some game — a kind of
Paul Jones — to get them mutually
acquainted and put them at their
ease. And then, when it comes to
serious acting, give them fairly full
instructions about correct carriage,
gesture, etc.
If, on the other hand, you are dealing
with experienced players, all such
preliminary instruction will, of course,
be unnecessary, and direction will
take more the form of a series of
shorthand signs.

Items of General Interest from all Quarters.
The Leipzig Fair authorities announce
that visitors to the Autumn Fair, which
opens on August 26th, will be granted
a reduction of 60 per cent in fares on
the German railways, whatever the
duration of the journey. This con¬
cession will remain valid up to the
8th September. This, in effect, means
a great reduction for business men, since,
hitherto, the reductions granted have
always been contingent upon the trip
lasting seven days. With the cost of
fares worked out on the registered mark
rate it means, altogether, a reduction
of 75 per cent compared with normal
rates. The reductions also apply to
internal journeys to and from Leipzig and
other German cities and centres.
. The Rhaco accessories, 'sold in Britain
by Sands Hunter Sc Co. (37, Bedford
Street, Strand, W.C.2), include some of
the neatest devices now made for photo¬
graphers — devices which could only
have been thought out by photographers
who actually use cameras ! The Rhaco
Combined Lens-hood and Filter-holder
is a handier article than its rather long
name suggests. Every good f/6 or
f/4.5 lens deserves a lens-hood, and
generally needs it if the best use is to
be made of its powers and its brilliance
in out-of-doors work. And very fre¬
quently the careful worker, especially
the man using “ pan.” material, finds
that he must use a filter for the best
185
results. With this device you can clip
on to your lens both a filter and a lens-
hood at the same time, or use either
separately. The filter-holder has a
spring clip, and the lens-hood, which is
about an inch deep, fits on the end of
the filter-holder. If you do not seek
to use a filter on any occasion you just
slip the screen out and use the lens-
hood only. With a two-times or four-
times '■ Rhaco” filter, the outfit, in a
neat leather case for the pocket, costs
either 15s. (for lenses | in. to i in. in
diameter) or 17s. 6d. (for lenses i in.
to ij in. in diameter).
Messrs. A. W. Gamage, Ltd., wish
us to point out that owing to a typo¬
graphical error, the Coronet Cine camera,
advertised in our issue of the 15th
August was incorrectly described as^
being fitted with f/3.5 anastigmat. The
correct aperture is f/3.9.
We are not at all surprised to hear
that the " Ebner ” camera, marketed
by Messrs. R. F. Hunter, has won golden
opinions already, although it has been
available for very few weeks only. Its
handsome bakelite body, with no pro¬
jections, has such a sleek appearance
that there arises an irresistible desire
to slip it comfortably into a pocket ;
a glance at the " works ” arouses a
still stronger desire to get to work with
it at once. It is made in one size only —
the very popular 3 J x 2 J, and weighs only
21 oz. With a choice of three excellent
f/4.5 anastigmats in the latest Compur
shutter, and prices round about £10,
there are few cameras that can rival it
for originality, efficiency and sound value.
We are asked by the Westminster
Photographic Exchange, Ltd., to draw
attention to two errors in their advertise¬
ment in our issue of August 15th. The
new Agfa developing tank was incor¬
rectly. priced at 30s. instead of 32s., and
they supplied the wrong illustration of
the 200-B Pathescope projector.

^Deader^ Questions
ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
gi\e the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility lor the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid bv arrange¬
ment beforehand. The seeding of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See ■■ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5} Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given lor their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Hypo-Alum Bath.
Will you oblige me with a reliable recipe for a
hypo-alum bath for toning bromide prints ?
J. A. K. (Norbury.)
Dissolve the following, consecutively
as named, in about 40 oz. of very hot
water.
Hypo . . . . • • 5 oz.
Loaf sugar . . . . . . i oz.
Potash alum . . . . i oz.
This should be kept a day or two before
use, after putting into it a few odd
pieces of bromide paper.
Safety of Blotting-Paper.
Shall I be safe in leaving prints to dry between
the leaves of a book of blotting-paper ?
R. M. (Arundel.)
Such a course is very risky, and in
other ways unsatisfactory. Commercial
blotting-paper should not be used even
for surface-drying prints ; a suitable
form is supplied by photographic dealers.
Damp prints should be freely exposed
to the air so that ithey dry in a reason¬
ably short time.
Backing.
Is it possible to make up a backing at home and
apply it to plates in the dark-room ? A. D. (Alloa.)
It is quite possible, and a reference
book such as the " Dictionary of Photo¬
graphy ” will give you particulars for
compounding the mixtures, of which
there is considerable variety. Our own
opinion is that, especially with modern
plates, it is better to buy them as backed
by the makers. The extra cost is trifling,
and all trouble aijd risk are avoided.
Farmer’s Reducer.
Will you please give me a hint or two on preparing
and using the Howard Farmer reducer ?
F. N. (Hampstead.)
In 20 OZ. of water dissolve i oz.
potassium ferricyanide and 2 oz. common
(not prepared) salt. Keep this stock
solution in an opaque bottle. Put the
negative for ten minutes in plain hypo,
I oz. to 20 oz. water. Pour off the hypo
and add to it enough ferricyanide
solution to make it a lemon yellow
colour. Apply this to the negative till
reduction is nearly sufficient ; then
rinse rapidly and proceed to wash
thoroughly.
Soft Developer.
What is a good soft-working'developer for subjects
with excessive contrast ? W. L. G. (Bradford.)
The following brings up the image
rapidly, and time must be allowed to
secure the necessary strength.
A. Metol . . . . ■ • 75 grs.
Sodium sulphite . . oz.
Water to . . . . 15 oz.
B. Potassium carbonate . . i^- oz.
Water to . . . . 5 oz.
A suitable working solution is A, 3
parts ; B, i part.
Getting Definition.
Is it better to use a small stop and a short expo¬
sure, or a large stop and a shorter exposure to get
plenty of definition when taking photographs
under dark trees ? H. J. (Nuneaton.)
Your question is not at all clear.
The definition will be affected by the
stop you use in the lens, and not by
the exposure. If you have to stop down
to get the necessary definition, then you
must increase the exposure accordingly
in order to get proper tone and detail.
The exposure, even with a large stop,
may have to be a comparatively long one.
Spoilt Films.
Can you tell me whether the films herewith were
over-exposed, fogged in the dark-room or over¬
developed ? G. A. S. (Norwich.)
We cannot say anything about the
exposure of the film in the camera,
inasmuch as the whole surface has been
exposed to light which has produced all
186
August 22nd, 1934
over it the maximum density a film will
give. You will notice that even the
edges, which should be clear, are as
dark as the rest, except the one that
was protected by the paper tab. It is
very evident that the film has not been
treated in the way necessary for pan¬
chromatic or ultra-rapid material.
Damaged Films.
I tend to damage roll films during washing. Is it
advisable to harden them ? A. H. S. (Woodford.) '
We do not see why, with careful
handling, films should be damaged
during washing, and the fact that you
have this trouble seems to indicate
something wrong with your methods.
If you run the films for a couple of
minutes or so through 10 per cent
formalin this will harden the gelatine,
but the films will still require careful
handling.
Squeegeeing.
I enclose some prints which are my first attempts
at glazing. Can you tell me the reason for the
small irregular spots on the surface ?
W. A. W.
The trouble with your prints is due
to not excluding all the air when the
print is squeegeed. You should have
plenty of water between the print and
the slab, and squeegee firmly with a flat
squeegee so as to exclude all the water
and the contained air. This is more
difficult to do with such a thick paper
as the one you are using. The prints
you send can be put right by thorough
resoaking, and then treating in the
manner described.
Test for Hypo.
Is there a simple test for the presence of hypo ?
I read that it is possible to eliminate hypo in three
minutes with permanganate solution. Would not
the fact that permanganate colouring dissolves
in the presence of hypo constitute a reliable
test ? J. D. L. K. (London.)
A common test for the presence of
hypo is to allow a few drops of water
from the negative to fall into a test tube
of water faintly coloured with perman¬
ganate. When the pinky colour remains
unaltered, it may be assumed that hypo
is no longer present. It would take
too long to discuss the question of hypo
elimination, but you may draw your
own conclusions from the fact that we
always recommend the removal of hypo
by properly regulated washing.
Fixing Film Negatives.
After development I cut up my spool of film and
fix the negatives in a dish. Could you tell me
whether I can obtain metal separators, with
perforated zinc bottoms, to keep the films apart ?
B. S. C. (Pontypool.)
We do not know of any such appar¬
atus as you suggest, and if you use acid
hypo you would probably have trouble
with any metal partitions you might
construct or buy. We do not see why
you should not place your films singly
on the bottom of the dish without any
frames to keep them in position. It
does not matter even if they overlap,
provided you move them about from
time to time as you would, say, in
toning prints.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
hfs practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

Green Glass Filters
for Panchromatic Plates or Films,
OPTOCHROM Green Glass Filters are recommended
for use with Panchromatic Plates or Films, the increase
of exposure necessary beint? only four times the normal.
YELLOW GLASS FILTERS.
The orthochromatic emulsion, though sensitive to green
and yellow rays, nevertheless still retains an over-sensi¬
tiveness to blue and violet rays, which must be eliminated
by means of a yellow filter if coloured objects are to be
pictured in appropriate tones. Optochrom Yellow
Glass Filters are supplied in four different densities :
No. 0 Extra Light, No. I Light, No. 2 Medium. No. 3 Deep.
They are also supplied graduated, no extra exposure
being necessary, for use on cloud subjects.

“AGAINST-THE-LIGHT” PICTURES
THE ZODEL COLLAPSIBLE
LENS HOOD
(patent applied for) allows you to take
pictures almost directly into the sun —
combining portability with light weight
and the greatest possible
measure of protection.
The Zodel hood has
three sliding sections
.so designed that they
cannot chafe ami wear
away the dead-black
lining which ensures ab¬
sence of reflection. An
adjustable rectangular
mask at the front ensures
that the cone of light
entering the c.-imera i.s of such .«hape that internal bellows
reflectinn.s are almost non-existent, resulting in greatly increa.«ed
brilliancy of negatives, while the adju.stable .sunshade-flap can
be actually set to cast a shadow over the inside of the hood for
really exacting work.
Lse a Zodel hood always. It measure.s less than an inch in
thickness (clo.sed) and will go easily into vour camera case.

How will it enlarge ? A critical question, for an enlargement is the final test of a good
photograph. With the all-automatic Rolleiflex you just can't help making good pictures — for
the full-size picture, right way up, is shown on the focussing screen, the magnifier guarantees
hair-sharp focus instantly, and parallax compensation guarantees that your picture won't be
spoilt by heads being chopped off, or vital parts of the composition missing.

WEDNESDAY, September 5th, 1934.
T the moment of going to press,
/A we understand from the
Royal Photographic Society
and the London Salon of Photo¬
graphy that two remarkably fine
shows will again be presented this
year. The entries for both exhibitions
have been more than usual, and
the quality of the work on the
whole appears to be higher. Both
the London Salon and the Royal
Photographic Society open their
doors to the public on Saturday next,
September 8th. Our readers should
endeavour to visit both these big ex¬
hibitions while they are open in Lon¬
don during the month. The Royal
Photographic Society’s Exhibition is
held at 35, Russell Square, W.C.i, and
the London Salon is at the Galleries
of the Royal Society of Painters in
Water Colours, 5a, Pall Mall East,
S.W.i, near Trafalgar Square.
Listening -in.
Looking round the recent Radio
Exhibition at Olympia, we noted
how photography — or drawing based
upon it — has been used to advertise
the radio, chiefly by the pictures of
people enjoying the broadcast. Pic¬
tures of the neighbours of some of
those who have wireless sets were
not given. Prom the many ex¬
amples we learn that the correct
pose to express listening-in is for
the sitter to have the head at an
angle while the eyes are turned in
the opposite direction to the inclina¬
tion of the head. These inclinations
are very important for giving the
far-away look. Of course, if some¬
thing very emphatic is needed — but
only theii — the hand, with one finger
extended, may be a useful adjunct.
Yet surely these poses imply listen¬
ing to something faint or far-off,
whereas the great booming claim
of present-day radio is that it gives

you an ear-full. Like the lady
witness in Bardell v. Pickwick, one
does not listen, but the- sounds
force themselves upon the ear.
The strained expression in listening
hardly befits present-day radio.
The Telephone and Photography.
The telephone which the Post¬
master-General is trying hard to
popularise in this country has still
a long way to go to reach its density
in the United States, where there is
one telephone to every six of the
population. This popularity in
America has been largely brought
about by photography. Those who
have been concerned to advertise the
telephone have used the camera
lavishly. In almost every issue of
almost every American periodical
one finds photographic illustrations
of the use of the telephone — a repe¬
tition of six heads of the same
person, with the caption, “ The
multiplication of you ” ; a jovial
man speaking into the ’phone,
“It is good to hear your voice”;
a view of the telephone girl at her
switchboard, weaving the speech of
the world ; a telephone held in the
hand, “ Where to, please ? ” ; a
sleeping lady, with the telephone by
her bedside, “ Sentinel of the night
one of those domestic interiors the
Americans love so much, with the
child talking on the ’phone while
mother and father smilingly look
on ; or a woman listening at the
instrument, “ Lines to a lady ” ;
or a crowd of people arormd a tele¬
phone, “If. there were only one
telephone in your town.” A great
multiplicity of ideas, aU worked out
in photography, but they get there.
“ Showings.”
When passing the headquarters of
the Y.W.C.A. we noticed a bill
iHi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER"
ta 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
outside advertising the activities of
the film society attached to that
body. The poster said that every
Saturday afternoon there were
“ Showings,” to which gentlemen
friends were invited. Trust the ladies
to get the right word. How much
better to have the good old Anglo-
Saxon ‘‘ Showings ” than the Latin
“ Projections ” or “ Exhibitions.”
Moreover, even in the sense in which
it is now used (although there were
no films in those days) the word is
of ancient lineage. Five hundred
years ago we read, in the words of
a contemporary writer, that “ The
Mayor and aldermen make many
diverse showings and sights,” and
again, in a religious book of the
period, “ Miraculous tokens and
showings.” How miraculous would
even the amateur showings of the
Y.W.C.A. of to-day appear to those
ancestors.
“ T.” and “ I.”— Caution.
The giving of what is believed to
be a snapshot exposure when the
lever on a shutter is set at ‘‘ time ”
is not an uncommon cause of failure,
the defect being brought about by
giving a “time” exposure and
omitting to move the lever to
‘‘ inst.” for an instantaneous ex¬
posure. A correspondent informs us
that he was unfortunate in getting
a few failures at the recent Cowes
regatta ; the failures were in the
shape of fogged and blackened (over¬
exposed) sections of film, defects
September 5th, 1934
which were puzzling as he has never
made a time exposure. He had had
a few failures in the form of clean
or nearly clean (under-exposed)
sections, but obvious over-exposed
and blackened films were new to
him. Frequent examination of his
camera after these mysterious defects
revealed the fact that very often the
lever was found to be at “ time,”
although he had not placed it there.
How was the lever moved ? After
much thought and a few experi¬
ments the mystery was solved.
The camera fitted its case very
tightly, and when placing the camera
in the case, or when taking it from
the case, the “ T.” and ‘‘ I.” lever
touched the edge or side of the
canvas. Verb. sap.
The A mateur Photographer*’ EXPOSURE T ABLE — September
EVERY MONTH a brief exposure table will be provided for the assistance of our readers in their practical work. A glance at
th^ current approximate exposures as here given will serve as a reliable guide for most purposes. The subjects will be varied to
suit the time of year. The following exposures will serve as a working guide for any fine day during the month, between the
hours of 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, with the sun shining, but not necessarily on the subject. Stop used, f/8 The
exposure should be doubled if the sun is obscured or if stop f/ii is used. For f/i6 give four times the exposure. For f/5.6 give
half. From 8 to 10 a.m. or from 2 to 4 p.m. double these exposures. From 6 to 8 a.m. or from 4 to 6 p.m., treble them.
From 5 to 6 a.m. or 6 to 8 p.m., about four times these exposures will be required.
N.B, — The times given above are by “ sun time.** The exposures^ therefore^ which are laid down as suitable for 2 to 4 p.m.t for instance, will be those to be given between

6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
nsuring Quality in
BROMIDE PRINTS
Although modern bromide papers are very fine products, and simple
to manipulate, many prints produced are lacking in quality. In the
following article some unsuspected causes are dealt with.
IN these days of small cameras
and efficient enlarging appara¬
tus, the vast majority of photo¬
graphs are produced upon bromide
papers, to say nothing of those
processes like bromoil or Carbro,
which have their beginnings in
bromide prints.
The last few years have witnessed
a great improvement in bromide
papers, and in the modern products
of the best manufacturers the
photographer has a printing medium
of a quality undreamed-of not so
very long ago. The range of con¬
trast is sufficient for the needs of
the most varied collection of nega¬
tives, and it must be a very bad
specimen that will not yield a
passable print, provided that the
right grade of paper is selected.
Negative and Paper.
The first point is the selection of
a paper which suits the contrasts of
the negative. This is not a difficult
matter after a little experience with
the products of one manufacturer.
The papers by different malcers vary
to some extent, and the terms
normal, soft or contrasty are relative,
and the papers by different makers
are not comparable in this respect.
The contrast range of the paper
should be such that, with proper
exposure and development, the gra¬
dations of the print from a good
negative should range from a sug¬
gestion of tone in the highest lights,
while detail is seen in the deepest
shadow.
Exposure and Latitude.
It is the practice of many manu¬
facturers to claim that their papers
offer considerable latitude in ex¬
posure. This is a very desirable
quality, rightly employed, but the
beginner must not imagine that
accuracy of exposure is not a matter
of any importance.
Correct exposure is the first es¬
sential in the production of a per¬
fect bromide print, and it is easily
assured. All that is necessary is to
give a strip of paper cut from a sheet
various exposures of, say, five, ten,
fifteen and twenty seconds’ expo¬
sure, by covering a portion of the
.negative at the expiration of each
successive five seconds. The strip
is developed and fixed, and examina¬
tion will show which part of the
negative received correct exposure.
The test takes but a very short time,
and will ensure a perfect print or
enlargement, then or at any future
time, if the conditions are noted
down and repeated with exactitude.
Developers and Development,
The “ best ” developer for any
bromide paper is that recommended
by the maker. Different papers have
peculiarities in the emulsion, and
although a developer may work
well, and produce a bright print free
from fog, it may be that the best
possible result can only be secured
by the use of the maker’s own
formula. Some makers recommend
a larger proportion of bromide
than others.
It will generally be found, however,
that the best aU-round developer
for good blacks on bromide paper is
amidol.
A typical formula for amidol is
as follows : —
Sodirun sulphite (crys.) i oz.
Potassium bromide . . 10 grs.
Water . . . . . . i pint
When dissolved add amidol, 50 grs.
This developer will not keep in good
condition for more than two or
three days ; but when freshly made
can be recommended for practically
every brand of bromide paper.
Whatever developer is used, it
is very important that the operation
is carried to finality. This means a
correctly exposed print. If the
print is over-exposed and removed
quickly from the developer in the
hope of saving it, the colour will be
of a rusty black or grey. The de¬
velopment of a correctly exposed
print will be slow ; the image gradu¬
ally gains in strength, until it reaches
a point when the print is of the
correct depth, and the image appears
to go no farther.
The result, provided that the
paper is suited to the negative, will
be a print of good colour, with rich
shadow and pure high-lights. The
most common fault in amateur
bromide prints is too short a develop¬
ment, following over-exposure. FuU
development is most necessary if
the print is to be sulphide-toned.
A point that should receive at¬
tention is the temperature of the
developer. This should not be lower
than 60° Fahr., especially if the
formula contains hydroquinone. The
latter becomes inactive at low
temperatures, and the balance of the
developer is upset. This point is of
special importance in cold weather.
Safe Light for Bromides.
It is customary to regard any
dark-room light as suitable for
bromide papers, but it is well not
to take too much for granted. The
more rapid grades are easily fogged
by injudicious exposure to yellow
light. To test the light it is a good
plan to place a sheet of paper between
the leaves of a book so that half is
exposed for five or six minutes to the
light in the normal working position.
The paper is developed for the
normal time, and if the dark-room
illumination is safe, there Should be
no difference between the exposed
and the covered parts of the paper.
If such appears, some revision of
practice or alteration of the light
source is called for. When enlarging,
the paper must be protected from
stray light from the enlarger.

WHEN the circus comes to town,
who is there amongst us, old
or young, who does not feel
a thrill, either of things to come or of
past memories ? The sleek well-
groomed horses, the tiny ponies, huge
elephants, perhaps a lion or two, lithe
and supple acrobats, real Indians, and
the foolish, painted clown, here are
camera subjects galore, interesting

to obtain and interesting to everyone
afterwards.
As these travelling entertainments
are only ©n the move in the summer,
there will be no difficulty in the light
and exposure problem, for with almost
any camera good pictures will result.
There will be many opportunities at
the performers’ entrance of V the big
top,” as the main tent is called ; for
it is here that final touches are given
to costumes and animals just before
they enter the ring.
It is here, at the stage door as it were,
that a cheery and tactful word or
two will certainly get a few good
photographs, and these people will
cheerfully pose if approached when
obviously waiting their turn. But
keep clear when a rush is on and the
show behind time.
The writer has in this way got many
pictures and also has been given por¬
tions of the actual performances for
the benefit of his 9-mm. cine camera,
by clowns, horses, and acrobats, just
by simply watching the opportunity
when they were idly waiting their cue
to enter the ring.
All this applies to the e.xterior of
the circus ; but what about the in¬
terior, the ring itself, with performers
and audience ? This perhaps is not
quite so easy, and for this the manager
should be approached at a suitable
time and candidly asked for per¬
mission to photograph. This will
undoubtedly mean carte blanche being
given, except for the ring. When
inside, an important point to note is
if the “ big top ” is fairly transparent
and admits a sufficient proportion of
daylight ; for although the arc lamps
will be on, even in the afternoon,
daylight through the top is a tremend¬
ous asset.
A good position is at the top of the
gallery, selecting a point between
uprights, and against a pole and
actually over a stanchion that carries
the seats. Here a firm stand will be
obtained with a view of the whole of
the ring, clear of people’s heads. The
camera will of course have to be tilted
for the high-wire acts, but from the
position indicated, the “ atmosphere ”
of the circus will be maintained in
the results.
Watch the performance closely with
the slide drawn, and it will be found
that in all the turns there comes a
time where an exposure of i sec. or so
can be given without fear of movement.
Strength and balance.
It is a good plan to see the show
through beforehand, if possible, and
note the possible exposure points. Of
course, if an f/2.9 lens is used with a
super-pan. film, an exposure of about
I /loth will be possible without a stand ;
but even then a position back against
a firm support will be 'an advantage.
Finally, when making prints from
the negatives, make some for those
of the circus staff who have been of
any assistance, and for the performers
who have posed in any way. This
will be greatly appreciated by all con¬
cerned, and also will perhaps help a
brother photographer in the next town.

Moonlight
Photography
By CHRISTOPHER WENLOCK
For the amateur photographer
there is no more fascinating
work than that which we have
the audacity to call " moonlight
photography.” ‘‘ Audacity ” is surely
the correct word ; for, in spite of the
lavish praise and admiration it calls
forth, and the readiness with which
it is accepted as genuine by the un¬
initiated, it is not photography of
the moon at all.
It, however, conveys so perfectly
the impression of moonlight that for
all practical purposes it matters little.
Some, too, will argue that since moon¬
light is merely the reflected light of the
sun we may just as rightly call sunlight
"moonlight” as moonlight "sunlight.”
With the slower plates of early years
a photograph of the moon was almost
impossible outside the observatory owing to the
movement of the moon during the necessarily
prolonged exposure. Now, however, the rapid
emulsion enables us^to obtain quite satisfactory
pictures of moonlight; but it is simpler and usually

' Moonlight on Lake Vyrnwy.
more convenient to still
allow ourselves the harmless
illusion and take our moon¬
light pictures during the
day with the aid of the
light of the sun.
It occasionally happens
that the sun is veiled by a
thin haze which reduces
the glare sufficiently to
allow a direct photograph,
and when the sun appears
as a dull red ball close
to the horizon this is often
perfectly safe. It was in
this way that the picture
entitled " Moonlight on Lake
Vyrnwy ” was made.
The most effective photo¬
graphs are those taken when
The Lake. the sun itself is hidden be¬
hind a cloud and its light
shines along the surface of the sea or lake. A still surface
has the advantage that it gives a clear reflection of the cloud
formations ; while the ruffled waters of the sea and wind¬
swept lake have their own charm in the broken light.
This class of work, which does not require any elaborate
preparation or skill, is well worthy of careful cultivation.
The chief necessity is to seize the opportunity when it
occurs. Nature presents us with pictures of exquisite beauty
at the most unexpected times, and their duration is usually
brief. Once gone they do not come again. There are no
duplicates in the art gallery of the skies.
A slow plate or film is preferable to a rapid one, although,
with the latter, careful stopping down or a short exposure will
answer the same purpose. For such makes as WeUington
Anti-Screen, Ilford Auto. Filter, Barnet Rapid, we have
found an exposure of i/iooth second at f/i6 quite satis¬
factory : and, of course, when plates are used, backing or
the matt emulsion are essential in order to prevent halation.

The shepherd.
OCCASIONAIJ^Y a picture will present itself to the
photographer complete with all the details
required to meet the essential cornposition and
much sought-after atmosphere. But more often
such favourable conditions are largely the outcome of
good management on the part of the photographer.
Few animals offer such opportunities to the pictorial
worker as sheep, and when flocks are on the move,
suitable places can be found on their route with the sure
knowledge that being a comparatively slow-moving
subject, it will not take any excess of agility to get ahead
again when a further “ shot ” is required.
Due to the nature of their wool, pleasing highlights
can be produced, and the sheep sharply outlined if the
photograph is taken against the light. The variet}^ of
tonal qualities that can be found in varying lighting
conditions offer unusual
scope for artistic results.
Generally, some ad¬
ditional or higher point
of interest is required to
give composition or bal¬
ance to the picture, and
an admirable model is
usually provided by the
shepherd, who is often of
a type complete with
dog that will lend inter¬
est to the picture.
Each year large flocks
are brought to conve¬
nient centres for the
annual dipping, and al¬

small flocks of sheep can be found
on the road, and if certain places
have been previously selected it is
not difticult to take advantage of
them as settings for the pictures.
Apart from moving flocks, grazing
sheep, or sheep resting in the shade
during hot weather, lend themselves
to pictorial work, but care must be
taken in approaching them, as if
one member of the flock decides to
move, all the others will follow.

arises. In view of the open character of the subject
in most cases, a filter may be employed, particularly
if fast panchromatic material is used, and on sunny
days a comparatively rapid shutter exposure can
be given in these conditions. If a filter is not used
a smaller stop should be employed.
It is desirable, however, that panchromatic
material, eitlier roll films, packs or plates, sli^)uld be
used whatever the type of hand camera, as in many
cases the beauty of the picture will depend on the
environment, particularly when a sky with clouds

make a big detour so as not to disturb one isolated
sheep lying in the way, rather than take the chance of
allowing it to wander into the midst of the others and
cause a general movement.
As a rule, sheep will take little notice of the photo¬
grapher providing no rapid or sudden movement is
made, and it is possible to approach within a few yards
of the subject if time is taken in the process; but once
having disturbed them, it is a hopeless task to try and
drive them back again to the position that the}^ pre¬
viously occupied. If such a thing is desired, the best
way is to approach very slowly from the opposite side,
and as soon as a movement in the right direction com¬
mences, leave them for some time to settle down before
a further attempt is made.
Practically any ordinary hand camera will serve for
this subject. It should, however, be one that is easily

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETIES.
NOTES L NOTIONS
the
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
Although I could write quite a
large book about photographic
societies I am going to do
nothing more here than make a few
rambling remarks about them.
The print reproduced is from a
negative I came across the other day —
one that took me well back into the
past directly I saw it. The Woodford
Photographic Society was the first
one I joined, and here are one or two
of its members on an outing, with the
usual addition cf curious and some¬
what awed spectators. You will notice
that every one of the photographers
is using a stand camera. One has a
reflex, but that is on a tripod, too,
for he has probably got a massive
telephoto lens fitted. He is my old
friend Ernest Marriage.
Woodford was a small place in those
days, but its society had on its mem¬
bership roll the names of some of the
most distinguished photographers of
their d3,y. Horsley Hinton was one,
but he was one of many. We put up
a good annual exhibition, I can assure
you, and our outings were frequent
and well attended. We took photo¬
graphy pretty seriously, and therefore
enjoyed it ; and we had no visions
of a coming race of “ photographers ”
who would actually pay some stranger
to do their photography for them.
Such a race did come along, however,
and the Woodford society is now only
a memory ; and so, alas ! is many
another jolly, enthusiastic club which
flourished when quarter-plates were
a shilling a dozen, and when even
the newest member knew the difference
between a negative and a tripod screw.
Which is more than can be said for
some modern camera owners.
At the same time there are more
photographic societies in this country
now than ever before, and new ones
are constantly springing up. They
work on different lines, but in many
cases they are decidedly better lines.
I must admit that some of the earlier
photographic societies were incredibly
stodgy and dull. They cannot be
said to have died, because they never
lived. But others, even some of the
oldest, were simply bands of good
companions to whom photography
was the cement of friendship and
common interests.
For many long years it was my
delight to visit most of the societies
in the country — some of them over and
over again ; and I came to the con¬
clusion that it was in the breasts of
my fellow photographers that there
beat the warmest hearts in the world.
The welcomes I had ; the friends I
made ! I wish I could do it all over
again.
Fortunately I still know a good
deal about societies. It would be
impossible, for example, for me to be
unaware of the South Suburban.
The annual address of its President is
the sort of thing that no old-fashioned
society could possibly#iave dreamed ;
to say nothing of its bank balance,
which would have been regarded as
fabulous. It holds its exhibition twice
over, in big Town Halls, and Mayors
come to open it. I have known some
society exhibitions opened by the
secretary.
Another society I have in mind is
a new acquaintance, and could not
be anything else, inasmuch as it is
very much in its infancy — a baby in
arms compared with the veteran
South Suburban. This is the Camber¬
well Society, and I wish to say some¬
thing about it, because, although it
has been very much misunderstood,
I consider it is working on lines that
might well be adopted by many other
societies, old and young.
I will not mention names, but the
extraordinary beginning of things
was the fact that a professional
photographer told one of his best
D. & P. customers that he would never
make any progress till he learnt to do
his own work. This led to friendly
instruction in the dark-room. A few
others gathered round, one or two of
them workers of outstanding ability.

capable coach, who took him in hand
and gave him a thorough grounding
in choice of subject, exposure, nega¬
tive making, and enlarging. When
the Society announced that it could
accept no more members at present
there was derisive laughter in certain
quarters ; but the simple explanation
was that the Society would not admit
more members than it could train
and accommodate.
Further, the Society entered into
mutual agreements with other societies,
mostly in the southern counties, to
support each other’s exhibitions with
the very best work they could produce.
And, as I said, I think that this young
Club is setting a good and wise
example.
Now, the point I wish to make
is this : Scattered over the country
are scores of photographic societies,
thickly clustered in some areas, few
and wide apart in others. With very
rare exceptions, each one is worth
joining by any enthusiastic photo¬
grapher. Most of them have special
arrangements for helping the beginner
with advice, instruction and practical
demonstrations. They all have mem¬
bers whom it would be a pleasure and
a help to get in touch with. And yet
there are large numbers of beginners
who have not taken steps to benefit
by all the advantages offered.
It is significant that so many of the
contributors to the long series of
articles, “ How I make my Exhibition
Pictures,” have expressed their in¬
debtedness to the societies to which
they belong. I know most of these
contributors, and I know that the
iHf AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER'

vast majority of them belong to one
or more societies and postal clubs.
Otherwise they would not be what
they are and where they are in the
photographic world.
So what about you ?
This is the time of year when most
societies are arranging their pro¬
grammes for a new session. If you
are unattached, get attached before
the fun starts. If you do not know
of the societies available for you, write
to ” The A.P.” for the information.
There may be one close to you ; but
if you had to travel a trifle of ten
miles or so to get to the meetings it
would be worth while. I have done
it myself, and still do it. So “ stand
not upon the order of your going,
but go at once.” That is Shakespeare
— and sense. W. L. F. W.
Long-Distance Photography
By D. N. BOOTHROYD.
SOME interesting experiments can
be carried out in the taking
of long-distance pliotographs
by combining the camera with a pair
of field-glasses. The illustrations
give some idea of the possibilities.
The photograph in the circle was
taken from the same place and at
the same time as the more general
view, and the aeroplane, which is a
very small detail in the picture, is en¬
larged to the full size of the negative
when taken through binoculars.
A twin-lens reflex camera is a
great asset when taking photographs
of this kind. A simple stand is
made from three-ply wood to hold
the glasses, so that the taking lens
of the camera is on a level with
the eyepiece, and a movable block
is then fitted to raise the glasses
to the level of the viewing lens. It
is a help to have two projecting
pins in the upper block which fit
into holes in the lower block to
prevent unwanted movement.
The glasses are first focussed on
the object to be taken, and then
put into place on the higher block.
The camera is then focussed till the
object appears sharp on the screen ;
this will be when the scale is at its
nearest point, i.e., farthest from the
infinity mark.
The focussing screen will be much
darker than usual, as the effective
aperture of the field-glasses is about
f/i6. This, of course, will vary
with different makes. The glasses
are then removed, and after taking
off the loose block, are replaced so
as to be opposite the taking lens,
without changing their direction of
pointing.
This method is very useful when
photographing such things as distant
mountains, where a short-focus lens
would make a good picture impos¬
sible, or when it is necessary to take
some building or person from a dis¬
tance out of range of the unaided
camera.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
“ y~XURING my lecturing all over the country, to audiences
9 I which include thousands of school-children, my usual
text is, ' Cameras possess neither intelligence nor
sense of beauty — that is where yon come in ! ’ My own ex¬
hibition pictures are the result of practising what I preach ;
for, after all, the camera is servant and I am master. This is
of course how it should be.
In Old Jerusalem. ■ C. L. Clarke.
This personal control of selection and treatment of subject
is full of fascination and fun. Take, for example, the case
of the picture opposite. It was November 5th — I had a fire¬
work accompaniment to my lecture that night — and not a
solitary soul, not even a stray seagull, was on the shore with me
to share the beauty of that autumnal sunset. Without moving
fifty yards I made six exposures, all of quite different pictorial
appeal. The negatives were on Kodak film pack, and
were given exposures of of a second at f/8.
For this and similar subjects I find enlargements on
either white or tinted Kodak Royal bromide paper are
equally effective.
“ Readers of this magazine naturally appreciate
the peculiar facility of photography for capturing that
kind of beauty which depends not on colour but on
light values. Observation, in a single word, sums up
the main secret of any exhibition success 1 have had.
It is true that luck and artfulness can help, but, in
the main, pictures at good e.xhibitions are there because
they bear definite evidence that the author has taken
pains in deciding, first, what to take, and, secondly,
how to take it.
“ Apply this to the print on this page — a subject
taken in a city full of ancient streets and courtyards.
When friends see this they sometimes say, ‘ How
lucky ! ’ 'It was not all luck,’ I reply ; ‘ I put the
alarm clock on.’ This picture — on Verichrome film
with an exposure of i/z^th of a second at f/6.3 — was
taken when most of my fellow pilgrims were in bed
about live minutes’ walk away. Further, I waited
half an hour for it ; but why not ? I was on holiday,
and more able at that early hour to absorlf something
of the wonderful atmosphere of the Holy City. When
the man and the ass at last appeared I snapped just
before they entered the shadow. The result was not
due to luck, but to patience and observation. This
is more often the case than not.
“ Have you noticed the astonishing versatility of
our hobby ? Look round the walls of your next
exhibition and see how competently the camera can
deal with utterly different subjects. My two illus¬
trations to these notes are of scenes completely different,
yet both attractive.
■' I seldom use a tripod nowadays, as fast films and
wide-aperture lenses enable instantaneous exposures
to be made ev^en with a Kz hlter. One most important
fact for would-be exhibitors or potential prize-winners
to remember all the time is this : make the best pos¬
sible print you think the negative will give.
" I cannot paint or draw, but I like to travel, and
I love to bring back a personal record of the places I
visit and the people I meet ; or at least some of them.
Therefore, although my daily work has a full photo¬
graphic flavour, I still pack cameras and films when
going on holiday ; still hopefully submit work for
exhibitions, obtaining at the worst the consolation prize
of getting more fun from life through photography.”

on the Beginners’ prints reproduced on
the opposite page.
IT is not without a certain amount
of appreciation that No. i of
the prints reproduced on the
opposite page — " Old Church Door,”
by C. C. Cooper — is contemplated,
though the original print, with its
warm tone on a cream base, is finer,
particularly in the way it conveys
an impression of sunshine. Neverthe¬
less, something of its quality can be
gathered from the reproduction, and
perhaps, if the difference can be
visualised, its richness and vitality
can be imagined.
Quality in the Print.
To some extdnt, print quality
depends upon the suitability of the
printing paper for the negative, for it
is obviously impossible to obtain a
good print from a negative that' is
either too great in its contrasts, or
too little for the range which the
paper is capable of recording. Taking
this suitability for granted, however,
superfine quality in .the print also
requires a high degree of craftsman¬
ship not only in the adjustment of the
exposure to the degree of develop¬
ment, but also in the operations of
fixing, washing, drying and mounting.
Practically all development papers
need a certain minimum time of
development before they are able to
give either their full contrast or their
finest quality. Certain of these, chloro-
bromide, for example, require a de¬
finite time at a fixed temperature and
a constant bromide content in the
developing mixture, and, if there be
any curtailment of these times, some
loss of richness must be inevitable.
If, when development proceeds for the
proper time, the print is too dark, it
is the exposure that must be cut down,
and not development.
Fixing must be thorough ; washing
must proceed for an adequate time,
and the print protected from abrasions
during the whole of the operations ;
and drying should be natural and even.
All defects should be spotted out, and
the print properljr mounted in a way
that suits both itself and the nature
of the subject.
Technical Treatment.
It is important that these details be
fully attended to, and the technical
treatment that the character of the
paper demands be given. Textbooks
are available which discuss the subject
in detail, and, in their absence, the
instructions accompanying each packet
of paper are helpful ; but those who
happen to be in London during this
and the early part of next month,
should pay a visit to the exhibitions
of the London Salon of Photography
at 5a, Pall Mall East, and the Royal
Photographic Society at 35, Russell
Square, where print quality may be
seen at its best.
Experience, and a knowledge of the
characteristics of the material in use
are, of course, a very useful aid, and
in all probability have something to
do with the success, in this direction,
which No. I attains ; but, although the
effect is good and quite clearly in
evidence, the patch of light at the
bottom right-hand corner, and the
small amount of roof included at the
top are compositional drawbacks that
might have been avoided by the
employment of the rising front.
What the picture needs is a trim of
a quarter-inch from the base, and an
addition of a similar amount to the
top. The upper windows, at present,
seem to be too prominent a note to be
so near the topmost edge, and the
adjustment would furnish a better sense
of balance, the weight of tone at the
base requiring a greater weight above.
Balance and the Subject.
The disposition of the masses of
light and shade must, of course, vary
with each individual subject, but, as
a general rule, it will be found advis¬
able so to arrange the tone at the
corners that it is somewhat deeper
than those nearer the centre.
The idea is to suggest, almost
imperceptibly, a feeling of enclosure,
and while, in a subject like No. i,
the top corners could not be artificially
darkened without inviting a suspicion
of falsity, a greater proportion of roof
along the top would be sufficient to
convey the feeling.
No. 2, " Washing the Greens,” by
Mrs. G. Hall, seems to exemplify the
idea, and, to some extent, so does No.
4, ” An Essex Inn,” by A. C. Boxall.
The former, however, suffers from
the inclination of the vertical lines
— arising from pointing the camera
downwards— and the bottom right-
hand corner needs darkening. The
verticals could, however, be corrected
by printing by projection, but it is
rather a pity that the head of the
figure is not shown in light. It would
tell to far greater effect if it did, and,
possibly, by exposing a little sooner
or later, such a result might have been
secured.
Stability and Strength.
In ” An Essex Inn,” the subject
seems to want a bit more at the base
and a little less on top. This is the
reverse to the adjustment required
in the case of No. i, and it^ lack of
stability, in comparison with the
other, is easily seen.
No. I seems stable and strong, and
No. 4, if not exactly weak, not so
strong as the other, but the suggested
revision brings them to just about the
same level in this respect On the
other hand, there is a balance, but
one of light tone, at the top and
bottom of No. 6, “ The Loft Ladder,”
by J. K. Hood, and the loss in stability
and strength, in comparison with the
other two, is very apparent.
Shadow tone at the base, and
assuming that it has a sufficiency of
depth, is necessary to afford a sense
of stability, and while it happens that
what tone there was was not deep
enough, the position might be im¬
proved by local extra printing. Hori¬
zontal shadows are better than those
approaching the vertical, or on a
decided slant ; but, though No. 5,
" An Old Porch,” by F. S. Norton,
suffers somewhat on this account, its
stability shows an advantage over
that of No. 6, and there is, again,
quite a good balancing mass towards
the top.
Washy Darks.
The technical quality of the original,
however, leaves much to be desired,
for the darks are washy and devoid
of richness. The negative, perhaps,
is somewhat weak in its contrasts for
the paper employed, but, taking this
into consideration, it is doubtful if
the print has been fully developed.
Better technical treatment is re¬
quired, and, if the darks are still lacking
in depth, a more vigorous grade of
paper should be substituted. Similar
remarks are applicable, again, to
No. 3, ” Shadows,” by G. M. Smith,
where, although the subject is well
seen, the print is totally lacking in
guts. “ Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
THE SAND ARTIST,” hy H. W, Lambert.
There is a certain similarity in
the choice of subject material
in this case and that reviewed
in our issue for the 22nd of last month,
a child on a seashore providing the
theme in both instances, with a
subsidiary motif of an effect of sun¬
shine. It could, perhaps, scarcely
be said that either presentation offers
a decided advantage over the other,
but the method of treatment differs,
and if in the former the interest be
more concentrated
in the figure, the
effect, in the pre¬
sent instance, as¬
sumes a greater
significance, and the
long shadow is a
feature that en¬
hances its attrac¬
tion.
Size and Scale.
Possibly the
main reason for the
relative attractions
of the two figures
lies in their differ¬
ence in scale, the
size of the child
in the former pic¬
ture being propor¬
tionately larger
than in this. The
contrast of tone,
too, is not so great
here ; but in con¬
tradistinction, the
figure (i) stands
out quite as weU from the setting, as
its general tone is lighter and that of
the surroundings darker.
In each case there is no doubt
about the principality of the figure
as the centre of interest, and the
reasons are the same. The figure
contains both the strongest light and
the deepest dark ; its position is
forceful ; and, the setting being even
in tone and containing nothing else
of any importance, human interest
ensures its dominance.
The effect of sunshine becomes more
prominent, partly because of the
inclusion of the long shadow, and
partly because of the deeper tone of
the setting, against which the light of
the figure glows with an appreciably
greater brilliance. The impression
arises, in a large measure, from the
lower altitude of the sun, which, by
emphasising the verticals at the ex¬
pense of the horizontals, is responsible
for the brightness of the light upon
the figure, and the darker tone of
the surroundings.
Pose and Effect.
It also accounts for the length of
the shadow, which, in a way, takes
the place of the lobster as a secondary
accent, and, being contained within
the picture space instead of straying
outside, seems to confer upon the
composition a somewhat greater sense
of finish.
As far as the pose is concerned,
there is no practical difference, both
children being caught in a graceful
attitude, and both being free from any
suspicion of camera consciousness.
In this instance, both pose and
action are particularly good, the
absorption of the child in her self-
imposed task being wonderfully well
caught; so much so that it becomes
characteristic of childhood and childish
moods. It is very well done, and no
less satisfying is the technique, for,
while the general tone is soft and
harmonious, there is no lack of quaUty,
and richness of tone and modulation
are fully in evidence. It is partly
on this account, and partly because of
the direction in which the light is
falling, that the modelling of the limbs
is so beautifully recorded. They are
very full and round, and the texture
of the flesh tones is nicely rendered.
The figure, perhaps, is placed some¬
what near the horizontal centre, but
while this may impair the strength
of her position to a minor degree, it
is possible that any
addition might in¬
volve the en¬
croachment of an
unwanted and un¬
desirable intrusion
upon the picture
space. If so, the
present arrange¬
ment had better be
retained ; but, if
not, and the nega¬
tive permits, it
might be as well
to add a small
amount to the top.
Half an inch would
be quite enough,
and, besides im¬
proving the plac¬
ing, it would also
confer a greater
sense of spacious¬
ness.
As the print
stands, the proxim¬
ity of the head to
the top edge of the
print causes something of a sense of
restriction. This is scarcely sufficient
to impair the attraction to the picture,
but it would be better corrected.
Holiday Efforts.
In all other respects, the result is
characteristic of the sort of thing that
is possible of achievement during a
summer holiday at the seaside.
It so often happens that, on a
holiday, one goes in search of the
picturesque, and, while what is fresh
is undoubtedly stimulating, it is quite
likely that the more homely subject,
such as this, may be overlooked,
although, in the end, it may attain a
higher pictorial level than the more
ambitious efforts of the former class.

Things that Matter Most in Cinematography
The most satisfactory form of cinematography is that in which expressive factors are
interrelated with suitable subject-matter. Further notes on this subject are included below.
AN amateur cinematographer who
had recently returned with
several reels of summer-cruise
pictures was asked by a fellow en¬
thusiast for any tips that might be
of assistance during the filming of his
own forthcoming holiday.
‘‘ Beyond failing to use a filter in
a very bright light,” he is quoted as
saying, " there is no point at which
you can go really wrong.”
He is also credited with some further
remarks on the necessity for giving a
correct exposure — but these were par¬
tially nullified by references made to
the ” rich emulsion ” with which
“ you may go grievously wrong in
exposure and still get off with hardly
an indication of your error.”
Well, statements of this kind are
frequently being made by club and
individual cinematographers. They
fail to indicate that cinematography
includes factors of far greater im¬
portance ; hence the serious worker
will feel with me that it is necessary
to delve a little deeper into those
opening words, " Beyond failing to
use a filter, there is no point at which
you can go really wrong.”
Prime Factors.
Obviously, regular readers of this
paper will know that exposure is only
one factor amongst the many that
go to make up photographic technique ;
and they will further know that the
real excellence of any film is not
dependent upon photographic tech¬
nique alone. Time and again, these
columns have endeavoured to show
that the cinematography is not the
mere business of photographing the
things we see, but is rather the art of
using photography — -and other things
— to create moods and impressions in
the mind of an observer.
And even in the face of poor or
mediocre photography, the film itself
— based upon these principles — may
be entirely successful. In this, I
do not suggest that the photographic
" quality ” should frequently fall short
of the high standards made possible
by modern technique ; but now we
are brought face to face with the
point it must in all conscience be
recognised that there are times when
it is necessary to avoid brilliant photo¬
graphy and to try instead for images
which are by no means good photo¬
graphs, but which — through the moods
and impressions they create — are
gloriously fine cinematography.
Importance of Subject.
These, however, although prime
factors in the executive sense, do not
matter most in cinematogi’aphy. Even
higher than these is the subject. Why
this is so it is impossible fully to
explain at the moment. Let it suffice
to say that for the majority of be¬
ginners. family, holiday and personal
subject-matter must be accounted the
most satisfactory.
Amongst intermediate workers, docu¬
ment and interest films may receive
more general approval — whilst ad¬
vanced workers usualty show a prefer¬
ence for abstract, i.e., " phase ”
treatment and other material crea¬
tions of cinematic ideology. There
is yet another class — in which ad¬
herents have only a partial appreciation
of cinematography, using it as a
convenient method of graphic record¬
ing. I refer, of course, to the rapidly
dwindling class in which the output
is solely of play-films or photo-plays.
The highest possible expression of
cinematograph}^ is that in which
expressive factors are interrelated
with suitable subject-matter. This,
too, is synonymous with the aims of
several cine societies throughout the
country — aims which embrace the new
“ films -with - a - purpose M technique,
perha}>s the greatest development
since the introduction of amateur cine-
photography itself. S. E. L. Moir.

Filming En Route
overtaking the one in which he is
travelling gives a pleasing impression of
speed, and should not be missed.
The cinematographer who has a
car at his disposal can obtain many
unique shots of interesting sights to
be met during his journeys. A film
showing the gradual approach to a
quaint village has only to be seen to
be admired, the screened picture
giving the impression of the audience
themselves being actually transported.
Village squares, old inns and numerous
oddities of our countryside worthy of
recording, present themselves, making
a pleasing film, greatly helped by the
fact that, being taken from a moder¬
ately moving vehicle, there is con¬
tinuous interest. Even the farmers’
boy manoeuvring his awkward cattle
along the road ahead may prove a
worthy subject.
Filming through the open car wind¬
screen provides opportunity to secure
views of oncoming traffic, and if
passengers are being carried in the
car, the side windows can be utihsed
for side shots. If driving solo, a
suitable plywood base can be con¬
structed for temporarily affixing the
camera to the front windscreen. Pro¬
viding the camera is motor-driven,
little difficulty will be experienced in
its manipulation on fairly quiet sec¬
tors of the road, although the driving
of the car will, of course, take prefer¬
ence over the camera.
Moving launches and punts are
useful in securing shots of the numerous
phases of river life, whilst town traffic
is perhaps best recorded from the top
of a bus moving at a moderate speed.
Short shots taken en route often serve
as inserts in any future productions
requiring scenes where speed or passing
traffic are required to be portrayed.
Always remember to keep the
camera lens covered when not in use,
and, in between shots, to dust the
lens slightly with a suitable camel-
hair brush to eliminate dust or grit
that may have adhered to it.
T has been said that some of the
best aspects of our cathedrals are
to be seen from carriage windows
of trains approaching them. Tall
church spires and similar towering
buildings of our towns stand out as
landmarks upon their approach by
railway.
Filming en route gives the cine
enthusiast opportunity of recording
brief shots of towns passed on his
travels, embracing unusual viewpoints.
Shots can be secured of towns, villages
or stations by filming with the camera
placed at a suitable angle through an
open carriage window. Whilst in
action, the camera can be rested on
the top of the open window frame
and pointing so as to embrace on¬
coming subjects without undue vibra¬
tion. Viaducts being crossed allow
for the camera being pointed slightly
downward to permit broadside shots
of suitable landscape being taken.

STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY with Single Lens Cameras
A T a time when stereo photography is definitely declining
(at least, one rarely sees stereo cameras about), a
^ method has been developed which should prove a great
attraction, particularly to the users of Leica cameras, as it
does not necessitate any expensive accessories. As is well
known, there is a stereo attachment available for use with the
Leica camera, which gives two images each occupying half
the space of the normal Leica negative. As these pictures are
already transposed by virtue of the optical construction of
the arrangement, one need only enlarge the joint negatives,
and, in enlarging, mask them to the proper separation, to obtain
a faultless stereogram for viewing in the ordinary stereoscope.
A simple way is not to make enlargements but to make a
contact diapositive, which is viewed in a special Leica stereo¬
scope in its original size. With this arrangement, any Leica
camera is turned into a stereo camera and snapshots can be
taken of moving objects.
The new method does not make use of this accessory to the
Leica, nor of the simpler stereo slider which is obtainable also
for the Leica, and which is used on a tripod head and allows
of taking two photographs at a separation ; but it merely
consists of taking one photograph resting the body on the one
leg, and the other photograph resting it on the other. The
difference in viewpoint thus obtained is sufficient to yield a
perfect stereoscopic effect, and as with the Leica a direct-
vision view-finder is used at eye-level, there is no great risk of
a displacement in height, which would be very troublesome.
The resulting negatives are contact printed, not enlarged, and
the original size prints mounted on a small piece of cardboard
and viewed in the Leica “ Plastoscope.”

Items of General Interest from all Quarters.
The Leica “ Oleyo ” — an arrangement
for single exposures. This is not, as
the name might imply, an attachment
to fit into the Leica, but consists of a
separate cast body into which one’s
Leica lenses are screwed, and which is
equipped with a novel dark slide to
hold a piece of film sufficiently large^^for
one exposure. This arrangement will
be of particular interest to those who
experiment with a variety of films and
only want to give one or two exposures.
A separate Ibsor shutter is used in front
of the lenses. Focussing can be done
either on a ground-glass screen or by
means of a separate range-finder. The
price of the “ Oleyo ” arrangement for
single exposures is 19s. 6d.
Amateur photographers visiting Ger¬
many at the present time should note
that very stringent restrictions are"now
enforced in regard to photography any¬
where in the neighbourhood of Nazi camps,
fortifications or buildings. In all other
respects, however, visitors and amateur
photographers are encouraged.

A new miniature camera has just been
introduced to the British market by
Messrs. Zeiss Ikon, Ltd., Mortimer House,
37-41, Mortimer Street, W.i. This is
called the Super Nettel, and as it is
from the firm that makes the Contax
miniature camera, can be relied on to be
a very fine little instrument. Like the
Contax it takes a spool of cin6 film,
and embodies in its construction most
of the points that a high-class miniature
camera should possess. It has a focal-
plane shutter, accurate distance meter,
Tessar lens, detachable back, and folds
into a remarkably small space. Alto¬
gether it is a camera that the “ minia¬
ture worker ” will be intexested in seeing.
We hope to have more to say regarding
the Super Nettel when we have had an
opportunity of testing it.
THE LATE GEORGE E. BROWN
The death of George E. Brown, on
August 23rd, as announced in our
last issue, came as a great shock
to his many friends and acquaintances in
the photographic world.
G. E. B., as he was known to his
familiars, was for thirty years editor
of our contemporary, " The British
Journal of Photography,” During
the whole of that period he not only
conducted the paper with dignity and
knowledge, but on no occasion did he
make enemies. At the time of his death
Mr. Brown was sixty-one years old.
He was educated as a chemist, and held
the position of analytical chemist to
the Great Western Railway Co. at their
Swindon Works in 1899. He was later
associated with the late Snowden Ward
as Associate-Editor of the " Photo¬
gram,” and became Editor of " The
British Journal of Photography ” and
" The British Journal Almanac ” in
1904. lie was a fellow of the Institute
of Chemistry, an Hon. Fellow of the
Royal Photographic Society, and an
Ofiicier de I’Academie Fran^aise.
The late George E. Brown.
Editor " The British Journal of Photo¬
graphy," 1904-1934.
(Photograph by S. W. Shore.)
Mr. Brown had a very extensive
knowledge of photographic theory and
practice, and had written on both photo¬
graphic and chemical matters. Under
his editorship " The British Journal ”
has always been a publication of
sound practical value to the techni¬
cian, the professional and the commercial
worker.
For many years he was handicapped
by rheumatoid arthritis, so that his work
was frequently done under the disadvan¬
tages of his affliction.
He did much to make ‘‘ The British
Journal Almanac ” a reliable and
compact volume of information, and his
editorial articles were always well chosen
and admirably written.
He was a German scholar, and among
his other work he had translated a
number of technical papers from the
German as well as from the French,
his most notable achievement being the
English edition of L. P. Clerc’s standard
work, " La Technique Photographique.”
Personally he was a man of consider¬
able charm, and possessed a dry wit
which, although pointed, was never
hurtful.
He leaves a widow and two daughters,
to whom we extend our sincere sym¬
pathies.

iHf AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
©6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
^IDeaders^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communicafions for the Editor should be addressed : " The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing iu the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See " General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a s^arate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ' How can I take interiors ? ’’ or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked " Query " or '' Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence .to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issui
to reach the enquirer.
Amidol Developer.
Will you give me the formula for the single¬
solution amidol developer you published a few
years ago ? G. K. (Sheffield.)
We have published many amidol
formulse, and do not know to which
particular one you refer. If you want
it for developing prints, all you need
do is to dissolve 2 oz. of crystal sodium
sulphite in a pint of water and add 50 to
60 grains of amidol. This developer
must be used quite, fresh, as it will not
keep more than a day or so. The
amount named will develop about
eighteen whole-plate prints, or even
more at a pinch.
“Supernatural” Print.
The enclosed print is supposed to be supernatural,
with 110 trickery, according to a friend of mine.
Will you give me your version of it ?
W. E. H. (Sowerby.)
There is no reason why anything
supernatural should be supposed at all.
It is simply a familiar case of double
exposure, but without any information
as to the circumstances we cannot ex¬
plain exactly how it came about. It
is perfectly easy, however, for any
experienced photographer to produce this
sort of thing whenever he chooses,
although it is more often the result of
accident.
Plain Hypo.
I have fixed several films with ordinary instead
of acid hypo. The results appear all right, but
will it affect the keeping quality ? What is the
advantage of acid hypo ? R. B. W. (Bradfield.)
A plain hypo bath is just as reliable
as an acid one as far as the keeping
quality of the negatives is concerned.
The advantage of an acid bath, however,
is that it keeps cleaner, and therefore
does not stain the film. It also generally
removes the dyes which are so often
incorporated in modern films.
ai
Lamp in Enlarger.
The lamp in my enlarger is six inches from the
condenser ; is this a suitable distance ? The
lamp is movable. F. M. (Clapton.)
There is no fixed distance of the lamp
from the condenser, as it varies accord¬
ing to the position of the lens, which
depends, in its turn, on the degree of
enlargement. When you have finished
focussing you should remove the negative
and examine the disc of light, and if this
disc is not perfectly even you must make
it so by moving the lamp backwards or
forwards.
Stops in Enlarger.
Apart from altering the exposure, what is the use
of stops in an enlarger ? F. L. G. (Barcelona.)
With a condenser enlarger it does not
follow that the stops will affect the
light as in ordinary photography. If,
however, the light is diffused, the stops
have a similar effect on the length of
exposure to what they have in ordinary
photography. Practically the only pur¬
pose of using stops at all in an enlarger
is to sharpen up the definition at the
margins when the lens used is not an
anastigmat.
Book on Photography.
Can you recommend a book on photography
commencing fairly easy, and covering the scope
of a - camera ? R. W. (London.)
A good general handbook on photo¬
graphy is " Photography Made Easy,”
by R. Child Bayley, obtainable post free
from our publishers, price 2S. 3d., but
this or any other handbook will naturally
contain a great deal of material in which
you are not at present interested. No
handbook has. any more to do with the
one particular camera you name than
with any other, as the same general
principles apply to all. You should
have with your camera a booklet supplied
by the makers, explaining the manipula¬
tion of this particular instrument.
226
Meter Instructions.
Can you inform me how to use a Justophol meter ?
C. j. K. (Antton.)
It is difficult to tell you how to use
a Justophot meter in the space of a
short reply, as the instructions run to
considerable length, and vary with differ¬
ent models. Every meter is accompanied
by full instructions when sold. You
can obtain them from Messrs. Drem
Products, Ltd., of 37, Bedford Street,
Strand, W.C.2.
Focussing Scale.
I have used all the markings on my focussing
scale, and every aperture down to f/i6, but cannot
get the distance sharp. What can I do ?
L. B. (Sowerby Bridge.)
We do not understand why you have
used all the different markings on your
scale in an attempt to get the distance
sharp. The mark on the scale that
comes first as the lens is drawn out should
be the mark for distance ; and, if when
the pointer is set to this mark, the
distance is not sharp, there must be
something wrong. It may be that the
focussing scale is out of position, or it
may be due to other reasons which we
cannot guess at without examining the
camera.
Pyro Developer.
After reading a beginners* article I resolved to
try pyro. The negatives are good but there is
no trace of yellow stain. Is it working well if it
gives no stain ? A. M. F. (Birkenhead.)
It is quite a mistake to suppose that
pyro necessarily gives a stain. If sul¬
phite is included in the solution, and
this solution is reasonably fresh, the
image is practically as good a black as
is obtained with M.Q.
Exposures for Fireworks.
What exposure should I give for bursting rockets
or shells and fixed set pieces ? F. W. K. (London.)
It is quite impossible to suggest
definite exposures for firework subjects.
We have published articles on the matter
from time to time, but in them it is
nearly always pointed out that the
effects are obtained by leaving the lens
open for some considerable time, so as
to let various successive fireworks
register themselves on the film. In
photographing a set piece a great deal
depends upon the colour of the lights,
but with many of them it would be quite
safe to leave the lens open as long as the
display of the particular piece lasted.
Panchromatic material is a great help.
Intensification.
I send two negatives, one of which I have intensi¬
fied with uranium. What is the cause of the
atrocious result ? D. R. (Dulwich.)
We cannot say what has gone wrong
with the intensified negative, but we
should think that you could not have
followed the instructions with sufficient
care. We have frequently described
and recommended the method of chro-
minum intensification, which we prefer
to uranium. You will find the matter
sufficiently fully described in the
beginners’ article in the issue of August
22nd. We doubt, however, whether you
will be able to do much with negatives
as weak as the untreated one you send.

WARNING
We have received many compiaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

WEDNESDAY, September i2th, 1934.
The opening of the three big
London photographic exhi¬
bitions last week marked the
beginning of the autumn season.
Each of the exhibitions is a notable
one, and each fulfils its task in an
eminently successful manner. The
London Salon is frankly pictorial in
intention and achievement, and this
year’s international show is one that
no student of pictorial photography
at its best should miss. The Royal
is more diverse in its appeal, and
pictorial photography is only one of
its many sections. Practically every
application of photography is de¬
monstrated at the R.P.S., and some
of the sections are of extraordinary
interest. It is an exhibition of
many attractions. The P.P.A. show
is in two parts, the hrst of which is
devoted to modern indu^trial photo¬
graphy, and the second to profes¬
sional portraiture. The first part
is now open and the specimens of
commercial photography on \'iew
are magnificent examples of this
phase of work. Everyone who is
an admirer of fine technique will
revel in this display. The London
Salon is at the Galleries of the Royal
Water Colour Society, 5a, Pall Mall
East, S.W.i (near Trafalgar Square).
The R.P.S. Exhibition is at 35,
Russell Square, W.C.i. Both of
these are open daily until October
6th. The first half of the P.P.A.
show is at Princes Galleries, Picca¬
dilly, W.i, until September 15th.
The second half will be opened at
the same Galleries by the Lord
Mayor on September i8th, and
remain open until September 29th.

bition, held in London at the Society

of Arts, in 1852, there were no fewer
than 774 pictures on the walls.
It is odd that the catalogue enu¬
merated only 397, and it appears that
the number of exhibits was almost
doubled after the exhibition had
been opened. The processes were
Talbotype or calotype, waxed paper,
albumined paper, albumenised glass,
and collodion. It was an interna¬
tional exhibition — there were French
and German as well as British con¬
tributions. One work shown — a
photograph depicting ferns, grass
and flowers — was dated 1840, and
entitled “ Le premier livre imprime
par le soliel.” Even at this early
date it was complained that many of
the examples of architectural photo¬
graphy were marred by the in¬
tensities of the shadows, which
completely hid the part of the work
on which they fell. The Zoo made
its appearance as a photographer’s
subject quite early ; in the first
exhibition there were twenty photo¬
graphs of the animals in Regent’s
Park. The titles of many of the
pictures were very much the same
as now — “ The Stable Door,” ‘‘ The
Church Oak,” ‘‘ Scotch Firs,” and
so on. It was pointed out by
critics that the value of the exhi¬
bition would be enhanced if illus¬
trations of the various stages of the
photographic process were shown
side by side ; in the wh61e collection
there was only one example of a
positive photograph being exhibited
side by side with its negative. One
critic also wrote that, considering
how little was known at that time
about the art, a small collection of
materials and instruments would be
highly welcome. Thus the trade
exhibit had its origin with a non¬
commercial, or, in other words, a
wholly educational object.

London’s Statues.
I^ondon’s statues are being re¬
moved one by one to jdaces^where
they will be out of the way of
traffic. The statue of Mr. Hogg, the
founder of the Regent Street Iffily-
technic, was recently removed into
the middle of Portland Place, where
it is less in danger of being bowled
over by a taxicab ; and now they
are tackling the memorial to Queen
Victoria in High Street, Kensington,
which is to be placed somewhere else.
It would not be a bad idea to uproot
all our I^ondon statues, engage a
fleet of delivery vans, and move
them about after the fashion of
musical chairs. A city with peram¬
bulating statues would be full of
new effects to astonish and impress
the visitors. In the parlour game
just mentioned, one player is elimi¬
nated at each stage, and if one
statue were eliminated periodically
we should be none the worse. A
statue which ought in any cir¬
cumstances to remain in its present
position, the others revolving round
it, is that of Charles I, at Charing
Cross, because that unhappy king
on his horse appears in exactly the
same position in the old prints of
London, and amid the vast changes
which have taken place in the
neighbourhood of Whitehall and
Trafalgar Square in two and a half
centuries it does enable the student
of architecture and history to work
out the various sites.
Heady.
We see that Mr. Louis Golding,
writing about the Western High¬
lands, compares the emotion which
landscape induces in some people
to that which is induced by wine.
Certainly we can recall many land¬
scape paintings and not a few photo¬
graphs which suggested that some¬
thing had gone to the head.
Super-realism.
Salvador Dali, the painter, and
one of the great exponents of the
group of Surrealistes, has been
declaring, we see, that the moment
is now at hand for what he calls
the systematisation of confusion and
the total discrediting of the world
of reality. The super-realist painter
will paint objects with great care
and likeness, but he will not bring
into juxtaposition objects which are
normally seen together. He will
never bring into the same picture
the saucer and the cup, the head
and the hat. Everything will be
cut off short, at the neck or at the
wrist. On the other hand, the
bringing together of unlike and
unconnected things will express the
super-realist ideal — such, for ex¬
ample, as “ the unexpected meeting
of a sewing machine and an um¬
brella on a dissecting table.” One
can agree after this with the remark
of a sympathetic critic of the move¬
ment — who laments that so many have
misunderstood the philosophy of the
Surrealistes — that ‘‘ the art of Dali
is not art, but a new form . . .
of psycho-pathology ” — in other
words, a new mental disease. But
some would say that all art is that.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
A “Water” Lens.
I have come across a somewhat vague reference to a lens in
which water was used as a substitute for glass. It was apparently
made by a Mr. Sutton, and great things were claimed for it. Is
there any reliable information that would throw some light on
the matter? R. D. [Edmonton.)
Several experiments have been made from time to time in the
direction of water-filled lenses. There is still in existence a
condenser used by Daguerre, in which water was enclosed
between two thin glasses (one convex and one plane) cemented
together.
The lens about
which you have read
was invented in i860
by Thomas Sutton,
and we believe it was
Messrs. Ross who
made several of them.
A section through the
lens is shown in the
diagram, which indi¬
cates that the outer
shell was of flint glass,
and of great thick¬
ness. The surfaces of
the glass, being con¬
centric, form a con¬
cave lens, the water in
the spherical cavity
acts as a convex lens.
In certain forms of
construction the lens was achromatic. The outstanding feature
of the lens was that it included an angle of 100 degrees, or
even more. '
To modify the uneven lighting what was called a butterfly
stop was used, the opening being elliptical, with two thin
plates like wings. Although this gave more even illumination
than would otherwise have been the case the curvature of
field was so great that curved plates had to be used, with
focussing screen and dark slides similarly curved. This
allowed only for curvature the long way of the plate, so that
there was still marked distortion the short way of the plate.
If you can get a sight of a copy of the Royal Photographic
Society’s fine catalogue of the International Exhibition at
the Crystal Palace in 1898, you will find the diagram repro¬
duced on page 53. On the opposite page is a reproduction of
a picture taken with the Sutton lens and camera, by James
A. Sinclair. This shows the wide angle included, and the
curvilinear distortion. A complete Sutton outfit is in the
collection of the Royal Photographic Society, being the
selection of exhibits on view at South Kensington Museum.
When Mr. T. R. Dallmeyer had succeeded in producing por¬
trait lenses of the Petzval type, with a rapidity of f/i. Dr.
Grun experimented with the introduction of a liquid element,
and achieved an intensity of f/J. The aim here was not the
inclusion of an abnormally wide angle, as with the Sutton
lens, but an increase in rapidity.
A good deal of interest was aroused by examples of " instan¬
taneous ” portraiture indoors, and particularly by very good
photographs of stage subjects by the ordinary theatre lighting.
Considering the conditions in those days the results were
extraordinary. Liquids other than water were tried, in order
to secure a suitable refractive index. The trouble was that
every increase in rapidity involved a decrease in depth of
definition. Modern improvements in lens construction, the
increased sensitivity of emulsions, and so on, have rendered
these experiments with “ water ” lenses of historic and
academic interest only.

^FTER the HOLIDAYS
The holiday accumulation of negatives is not always regarded
as an unmixed blessing. Yet, as the following article shows, it is
possible to save time and to obtain unusually good results by
tackling the problem in the right way.
There are many satisfied
workers who use their cam¬
eras all the year round ;
others— doubtless those in posses¬
sion of the humblest equipment —
restrict their activities to the
summer months ; whilst quite a
few indulge in photography only
as a holiday pastime.
In any case, it is tolerably certain
that all classes have by now ac¬
cumulated a fair stock of negatives,
and the time is ripe to make plans
for getting the very utmost out of
them in the way of good results.
Sorting.
Nowadays, there is little need to
tell even the young beginner that
the print he receives from his
D. & P. shop is hardly the best
picture obtainable from his negative.
There is such a thing as an enlarge¬
ment ; and although most establish¬
ments now use a “ matched ” grade
of gaslight paper for every print
they make, the most suitable pro¬
cess for every negative turned out
on every roll of him is a matter
worthy of consideration if the best
results are wanted.
This is where all classes of photo¬
graphers can carry their hobby well
past the prescribed period, and even
taste some of the pleasures of the
perpetual pastime.
The hrst step in this direction,
then, is to sort the negatives into
two groups. In the hrst group are
placed all the best negatives, the
more commonplace forming the
second group.
Subsequent procedure is the same
for each group ; but obviously the
majority of workers will require to
work completely through the hrst
group of best negatives before
making a start on the second.
Matching.
Each negative in the particular
group referred to should be closely
examined with a view to “ match¬
ing ” it, not only with a grade of
paper but also — ^where necessary —
with an alternative printing process.
This applies both to the making of
contact prints and to enlargements.
As a general rule, “ plucky ” or
contrasty negatives may be selected
as being more suitable for one or
other of the contact-printing pro¬
cesses, and also for enlarging through
a condenser-less apparatus. On the
other hand, negatives lacking in
contrast will usually give of their
best only through the medium of
condenser enlarging or of contact
printing on a vigorous grade of
gaslight paper.
Individual Requirements.
Much, too, depends upon the
mdividual requirements of the ama¬
teur himself. He may possess a
certain contrasty negative (if it is
not too small) which he does not
desire to enlarge— even through a
“ diffusion ” or condenser-less en¬
larger. Here he must make a
selection from some of the many
contact processes that may be
regarded as suitable alternatives.
Fortunately, there is some slight
distinction between most of them ;
and it becomes possible to say that
(of the more familiar processes)
normal P.Q.P. paper is as suitable as
any for a negative of extreme con¬
trasts. For the same negative, a soft
grade of bromide paper would also
give excellent results — as would
certain of the lesser-known and more
difficult processes.
Popular Grades.
Most work, however, will probably
be done on the very popular grades
of gaslight and (for enlarging)
bromide papers. These in themselves
cover a very wide range, and wiU be
found to satisfy the requirements of
most negatives made. Where they
are obtainable in four different
grades, i.e., “extra soft,” “soft,”
“medium” and “contrasty,” the
papers should be reserved for nega¬
tives in the- following respective
order of matching : (i) hard or
contrasty, (2) “pretty” or weU
defined, (3) normal or “ not-too-
soft,” (4) distinctly soft. By “ soft ”
it is understood that the negative is
lacking in contrasts, but is not
necessarily thin or lacking in density.
In fact, a very dense negative will
often produce a very soft or flat
print if it has been over-exposed and
fuUy developed.
Other Notes.
So far as enlarging is concerned,
it must not be forgotten that an
increase of contrasts equivalent to
approximately half of an entire
paper range is secured when a
condenser type of enlarger is sub¬
stituted for a model using diffused
light and no condenser.
It may also be observed that only
slight mention has been made of
other printing processes — such as
carbon, etc. This is because such
processes are usually dependent upon
the possession of well-developed
and unusually hard negatives.
It will be seen from the foregoing
that the amateur who takes a real
interest in his photographic work,
and is anxious to make the most of
his holiday negatives, apart from an
album of snapshot record prints,
has a pleasant task before him
during the coming autumn and
winter evenings.
Too Many Negatives.
The trouble in some cases — par¬
ticularly when the holiday-maker has
been an enthusiastic user of a modern
miniature camera taking spools of
thirty-six exposures — is that the
large number of the negatives
frightens even the keenest worker.
Contact prints should, however,
always be made at first, and from
these a selection of subjects made
for enlarging with a view to a
further selection of pictures for
exhibition purposes.
The necessity for making small
enlargements from miniature nega¬
tives will become obvious if only
portions are to be used for picture¬
making ; these wUl not always be
apparent in the contact prints.

79th ANNUAL EXHIBITION
At Russell Square, W.C.i. First Notice.
At the annual exhibition of the
Royal Photographic Society,
which opened on Saturday last,
the 8th September, at the house of
the Society at 35, Russell Square,
London, W.C.i, most of the numerous
applications of photography are again
on view.
There are sections devoted to pic¬
torial photography ; natural history ;
scientific and technical examples of
camera work ; record, advertising
and theatrical photography ; photo¬
micrography, aerial and astronomical
and geological photography ; and a
collection of works exemplifying photo¬
graphy in colour.
The Pictorial Section.
Possibly the most interesting section,
at any rate to readers of this journal,
is the pictorial. This is to be seen in
Rooms I and 2, and embraces some
257 prints, wLich have been sent from
all over the world. Landscape, as is
usual at the Royal, is in the ascendant,
although there is a number of por¬
traits and a sprinkling of still life.
The male sex, as far as portraiture is
concerned, seems to predominate,
their number being stimulated by the
award of twenty guineas offered by
Pirie MacDonald for the best portrait
of a man.
The successful print this year is
No. 156, “ Havelock Ellis,” by Maurice
Turney. It is a fine character study.
The head, which is on a large scale,
shows considerable strength and virility,
and is a worthy successor to the winners
of the two preceding years. “ Lino
in Mourning,” by J. Ortiz Echague,
and “ The Perruquier,” by W. Eoster
Brigham, were placed respectively
second and third.
Another portrait of distinction is
W. W. Weir’s study of J. Dudley
Johnston (35), and striking, also, is
Pirie MacDonald’s own work, “ Rev.
Merrall E. Clarke ” (239) ; but the best
work seems to lie in the landscapes,
of which notable examples have been
sent in by Alex. Keighley, James
McKissack, J. Harold Leighton, H. A.
Murch, J. Ainger Hall, Fred Judge,
Admiral Stuart Nicholson, J. Sudek,
Dr. Max Thorek, Paul Fripp, R.
Chalmers and Tibor Hegyey ; while
notable work in the figure study qnd
genre classes is contributed by ' J .
Ortiz Echague, H. W. Lambert,
E. Chambre Hardman, Walden
Hammond and many others.
An attractive panel of high-key
work is shown between the two doors
of Room 2, which lends a touch of
brightness to a collection the general
tone of which is inclined to sombre¬
ness.
The technical standard of all the
exhibits is particularly high, and,
pictorially, the collection is quite as
good as any in recent vears.
Natural History.
In the Natural History Section, in
Room 3, on the second floor, many of
the bird studies are extraordinarily
interesting and attractive. The ani¬
mal pictures, too, are very well done,
and, in the botanical class, the medal
of the Society has been awarded to
Mr. Wm. C. Davies, of New Zealand
{855-861).
Whipsnade, as was the case last
year, proved a fruitful ground for
subjects, the natural setting, if not
precisely that in which the animals
would be at home, offering an improve¬
ment over the usual background
furnished by a Zoo.
Scientific and Technical.
Some of the applications of scientific
and technical photography are shown
in Room 4. Specimens of aerial and
meteorological photography, photo¬
micrography, radiography, geological,
astronomical and record photography
are shown, and a very large photograph
(7X4 feet) of the moon, in the third
quarter, occupies a deservedly promi¬
nent place (1030). It was taken at
Mount Wilson observatory, and shows
its subject as seen with a loo-inch
telescope. The high-speed pictures
will also attract attention, and the
aerial view of New York, taken from
a height of 26,000 ft., is marvellous
in the amount of detail included.
Lantern Slides.
There is an excellent collection of
lantern slides, very well shown, in the
studio on the ground floor, many of
these miniature pictures attaining a
high artistic level. The colour trans¬
parencies are interesting, in view of
the stage to which the various processes
have been brought, but the colour
rendering, possibly owing to the im¬
practicability of any appreciable de¬
gree of modification, scarcely seems
to accord with that of the painter
artist. Similar remarks are applicable
to the colour prints in Room i on
the screen. \
New apparatus is on view in the
trade section, and many of us will
find much that is of interest, for, even
if we think we are well equipped for
anything we wish to undertake, there
is always something that seems to
offer an additional facility or con¬
venience, or something to stimulate
the acquisitive faculty.
The exhibition remains open till
Saturday the 6th October, from
10 a.m to 9 p.m. daily (Sundays
excepted), except on Tuesdays and
Fridays, when it will close at 6 p.m.
Lectures have been arranged for those
evenings.
The following lectures will be
delivered during the Exhibition, at
7 p.m. ;
Tuesday, September nth. — ‘‘The
Order of St. John of Jerusalem in the
Past and Present.” By H. W.
Fincham.
Friday, September 14th. — ‘‘ Yacht¬
ing Scenes. Building, launch and
trials of the yacht Endeavour, etc.
i6-mm. films.” By Harry Vandervell.
Tuesday, September i8th. — " In and
Out of Bruges.” By G. E. W. Herbert.
Friday, September 21st. — ‘‘ Mary
at the Zoo.” By Eric Hosking.
Tuesday, September 25th. — ‘‘ Pic¬
tures of Sicily. Natural Features,
Scenery, Ancient Cities, Greek
Temples, Roman Amphitheatres, Clas¬
sical Associations, Religion, Legends
and People.” By Alexander Keighley.
Friday, September 28th. — ‘‘ Switz¬
erland from End to End.” By F. S.
Smythe.
Tuesday, October 2nd. — Exhibition
Lantern Slide Night. The slides se¬
lected for the Exhibition will be shown
on the screen.
Friday, October 5th. — ‘‘ Lovely
Lancashire, some of her old Halls
and Ancient Handicrafts.” By James
Shaw.
Seats can be reserved in advance at
a charge of 6d. All seats so reserved
must be occupied by 6.55 p.m., when
all unoccupied seats will be filled.
All who are resident in London, or
who are able to run up to town, should
make a point of visiting the exhibition,
for, in whatever branch of photo¬
graphy we are engaged, there will be
something to interest and instruct.

iHi AMATEUR PHOTOORAPHER
p 6 CIMEMATCXiRAPHER a
hehondon Salon o/Photography
Now open at the Galleries of the Royal Society of Painters
in Water Colours, 5a, Pall Mall East, London, S.W.l.
FIRST NOTICE.
The twenty-fifth annual exhibition
of the London Salon of Photo¬
graphy was opened on Saturday
last, the 8th September, at the Galleries
of the Royal Society of Painters in
Water Colours, 5a, Pall Mall East,
London, S.W.i. Entries were received
from almost every country in the
world, and from a total considerably
in excess of 4,000 some four hundred
prints were selected.
A Source of Inspiration,
The ratio of acceptances, to entries
is therefore about ten per cent, and
from this it may be inferred that the
general level is exceptionally high.
The work of selection was naturally
both long and arduous, and those who
were honoured by acceptance may
well feel that something of note has
been achieved.
Viewed as a collective show, the
standard, according to the opinions
expressed on the opening day, marked
an appreciable advance over the years
immediately preceding, and the pres¬
tige of the Salon, never higher than
it is to-day, seems still further en¬
hanced. It cannot fail to be a source
of inspiration to all who are interested
in pictorial photography, and, to the
uninitiated, it will come as a revelation.
Practically every class of work and
every variety of process is represented.
Print quality, in itself, was never
better, and it could scarcely be said
that any single print failed to reach
a high technical standard. The in¬
imitable artistic standard which the
Salon has set for itself is more than
maintained, and its extraordinary
variety makes the show most refresh¬
ing and intriguing.
It is interesting to note that the
vogue for diffusion, so pronounced
some five to ten years ago, has prac¬
tically disappeared, most of the work
being characterised by a clarity of
definition that seems to indicate that
a fumbling for effect by artificial
means is a thing of the past.
Compositions, too, are marked with
a greater measure of freedom, and
do not seem to be restricted by a too
slavish adherence to what is under¬
stood to be the conventional rules.
Rather does it appear as though the
phases of pattern and design, of
geometrical form, and the arrange¬
ment of minutiae through which we
have passed in recent years have
crystallised into a more advanced and
less restricted idea of what the function
of composition should be.
Methods of Treatment.
The fact is exemplified to some
extent in the work of the members of
the Salon, and particularly is- it the
case with the work’of Dr. E. G. Boon,
whole highly original still-life studies
betray a sense of placing and form that
competes effectively with the work of
the Japanese in a sphere that is
regarded as peculiarly their own.
J. H. Anderson seems to prefer a
more traditional form of arrangement,
which, however, seems to suit the
subjects he favours to perfection, and
his photogravures, as usual, are notable
for their richness of quality and beauty
of tone. The studies of children by
Marcus Adams are as captivating as
ever, and, though his arrangements
generally follow the accepted canons
of composition, it would scarcely be
possible to apply the modern touch
without impairing the essential natural¬
ism of his work.
More exciting, perhaps, are the ec¬
centric impressions of Pierre Dubreuil,
of Brussels, who always provides
something in the nature of a photo¬
graphic puzzle.
The small gum prints of J. Harold
Leighton form a collection of most
attractive pictures in miniature, while
a, contrast in size is furnished by the
magnificent carbons of Alex. Keighley,
the impressive seascapes and land¬
scapes of F. J. Mortimer, and the
bromoil transfers of C. J. S3^mes.
J. M. Whitehead, of Alva, is repre¬
sented only by a single print of the
type we have come to know and expect
from him. It is a lovely landscape
with a fine sky. Subjects of a similar
type, with a like romantic content,
are sent in by James McKissack, and
their quality and richness of tone
is remarkable.
Very pleasing, too, are the nudes
of Bertram Park, while J. A. Lomax
makes a welcome return, after an
absence of a number of years, with
some choice specimens of effects of
sunshine and shadow,
Herbert Lambert’s portraits show
that he has lost none of his old-time
skill and delicacy of touch. His
work is as tender and dainty as ever,
yet there is no lack of strength, but,
on the contrary, all of his pictures are
characterised by a full and rich range of
tone, from blacks of luscious quality to
lights that sparkle with brilliance. He
is one of the many exhibitors who, this
year, are using the new Gevaluxe paper.
Daintiness is the outstanding feature
of the bromoil transfers submitted by
A. F. Kales, in marked contrast to the
extraordinarily strong and powerful
work by the Fresson process, contri¬
buted by the Spanish member of the
Salon, J. Ortiz Echague.
Mrs. Barton, of Birmingham, W.
Clutterbuck, of Norwich, L. Flecken-
stein, of California, Leonard Misonne,
of Belgium, C. H. L. Emanuel, of
London, Harold Cazneaux, of Sydney,
Australia, F. Drtikol, of Prague, and
Angus Basil, of London, are also
represented, and, altogether, the work
of the members not only maintains but
enhances their reputations.
Notable Exhibitors.
Among outstanding work, apart
from that by members of the Salon,
there is a remarkable number of
contributions that will compel atten¬
tion. Notable are the figure studies of
Rosalind Maingot. This worker has
gone ahead amazingly during the past
few years.
The landscapes of G. L. Hawkins are
also on the grand scale, and are among
the fine things of the show. F. R. G.
Hedges has also work showing breadth
of vision. E. Welinder, of Sweden, and
O. Ecclesia, of Italy, both show some
striking child studies. H. F. Kells,
of Canada, Ismay Taylor, of Harro¬
gate, John B. Eaton, of Melbourne,
Yvonne Gregory, of London, M.
Benkow, of Sweden, Marten F. Y.
Coppens, of Holland, J. Pecsi and
R. Balogh, of Hungary, P. Cools, of
Belgium, and a number of leading
workers from America and Germany
give distinction to* a remarkable show.
Quite a just balance has been
struck between the claims of portrait¬
ure and landscapes, and everyone
who is interested in the pictorial
side of photography will find examples
that will appeal to them. The Salon
is as strong in the one as in the other,
and the selection committee are to
be congratulated on having performed
their heavy task efficiently and well.
The Salon remains open until Satur¬
day, October 6th (Sundays excepted),
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and a study
of the exhibits should be made by
every reader of The Amateitr Photo¬
grapher who is able to visit the
gallery during that period.

SKY-SCAPES
Hill-top.
A MONO keen photographers there is a not iin-
/ \ common complaint that good subjects for
I \ the average camera are
apt to run short.
Yet for those who believe they
have seen already all there is to be
seen in their especial district of
Mother Earth, there is still a wealth
of subject-matter awaiting those
who raise their eyes to the clouds.
There is no instrument so com¬
petent as the camera to increase
our powers of observation. Although
clouds have been the stand-by of
the landscape painter since times
immemorial, it is seldom that the
budding photographer fully appre¬
ciates their beauty. More often
than not they pass him by un¬
noticed, or they may even be
regarded as a hindrance. Their
presence interferes with those spark-

ling sunlight effects, so easy to achieve, or they
Hit across the sky and cast an unwanted shadow
just when his carefullj^ prepared apparatus was
at the ready.
Once, however, the moment comes when the
photographer is affected inevitably with the virus
of experiment his powers of observation increase
a thousandfold. The sky becomes a reality, and
the clouds pictorial valuables. At first, they are
photographed eagerly and at random, without
notes of the sun’s position, or of the time of day.
The results are collected into a large file, and are
used for printing into landscapes to enhance the
pictorial effect.
By this method some excellent pictures arc

been viewed from the same standpoint in relation to the
sun’s rays. Neither must they vie with one another for
precedence in the finished print ; the sky must be
subservient to the landscape, or the landscape to the
sky, if a harmonious composition is to be achieved.
These considerations, together with the necessary
skill in technique, make it a difficult matter to attain
the perfection which was visualised at the outset.
A far more sincere and finer method of utilising the
beauty of the clouds is becoming more and more popular
at the present time. With a sympathy and patience
which is reminiscent of the serious work of more leisured
days, the photographer watches the face of Nature,

There is a sense of achievement in
capturing these transitory effects,

Handling the Foreground
FIGURE
At Kynance Cove.
By M. L. HASELGROVE.
THI^ all-seeing eye of the
camera ” is a very bad
name for the lens, as those
of us who habitually use one of
short focal length will have dis¬
covered. For the eye is only too
readv to be a good fellow and see
what its owner wishes, while the
lens is entirelj^ non-partisan, and
even emphasises those little things
which we would rather overlook.
This often becomes a nuisance
when we are using a model to give
scale to a distant scene, but a little
ingenuity will enable the operator
to obtain the record he wants,
despite the demon in the black box.
The two illustrations were taken
in Cornwall, both with the same
camera, and in each case the figure
was deemed necessary to give the pic¬
ture depth and life. That of Kynance
Cove shows the model rather over¬
powering the huge rocks and the
beach, for though the eye allowed
for the distance and overlooked the
disparity in size, the camera re¬
corded the scene with scientific
exactness and no regard for my
feelings. The second picture, taken
at Land’s End, found me prepared
for the tricks of my instrument.
Standing well back from my model
1 removed the front half of my
convertible lens, so making it of
longer focus, racked out the front
of my tripod-poised camera, and
stopped well down to secure depth
of focus. The result is a much more
satisfactory picture with much better
drawing.
The lesson proved a good one.
My distant scenes are all to be taken
where possible with a long-focus
lens, or, better still, with the tele¬
photo lens which is next on the list
of possible purchases. When time
and circumstances forbid even the
luxury of a tripod, I shall still beat
my instrument’s mendacity by
standing well back from my subject
and relying on my enlarger and the
fine grain of modern film to give
the small image a chance to live.
It has to be remembered that
the single eye of the camera
" sees ” and renders the subject
finally on one plane, while the
two eyes of the photographer see
the different planes stereoscopic-
ally. If a stereoscopic photograph
were being taken, an arrangement
such as “ At Kynance Cove ” would
be ideal for the purpose, but is
very unsuitable for an ordinary print.

would be out of the question on the sea
except from a following boat.
Pictures taken broadside on should
be avoided, the best being obtained
when the boats are tacking, or travelling
away from or towards the camera.
The essence of this type of work, as
with all action subjects, is to be con¬
tinually on the qui vive.
The camera should be all ready in the
hand, properly focussed, at the correct
aperture, and with the shutter set for
instant operation. Your eye should be
glued to the viewfinder the whole time
the yachts are in sight, so that im¬
mediately a well-composed arrangement
of the subject is seen it can be recorded.

Yachting Pictures
on the RIVER
The country and town worker is
generally inclined to ignore yacht
])hotography, feeling that this
subject is restricted to the seaside and
holidays. Photographs of yachts on
the river, however, are easy to take, and
offer many pictorial possibilities. Yacht¬
ing clubs arc to be found on most rivers,
and practice sails and races are frequently
held. The London worker has the
Thames at his disposal, and at places,
such as Richmond, Marlow, Cookhainand
Henley, yachts are generally to be seen.
A tree-lined river bank gives a beauti->
ful and natural background that greatly
helps the composition of the picture.
A dark-toned background shows up the
white sails of the yachts to their best
advantage, while the horizontal lines
of the bank and skyline, opposing the
vertical lines of the boats, add even
greater strength to their position. A
place should be chosen where the bank
is fairly thickly wooded, otherwise
the background will be distractingly
" spptty ” and defeat its own object.
Owing to the amount of reflected light
from the water, very short exposures
can be given with such a light-toned
subject, and successful photographs arc
possible even under extremely dull
conditions. I have found an exposure
of i/iooth sec. sufficiently short for most
shots unless at close quarters. If the
boats are travelling towards or away from
the camera a speed of i/50th sec. or
even i/25th sec. will generally give
sufficiently sharp results. The correct
exposure is also governed, of course, bv
the lighting conditions prevailing and the
stop in use.
Any kind of plate or film can be used
for this work, but in order to obtain the
correct tone renderings of the sky,
water and white sails, a panchromatic
emulsion used in conjunction with a
filter is essential. The extra exposure
made necessary by the use of the filter
is discounted by the increased light
reflected from the water. A lens hood
of the barrel type will prevent any of
this reflected light from striking the
lens and causing “ flare.”
One of the greatest advantages of
river yachting to the photograplier is
that he can get close to the craft anil
obtain a good-sized image on the
negative. When turning, the yacht has
to come near to the river bank and
close-up studies are possible. These

VIEWPOINT DIFFICULTIES.
I AM using these three prints to illustrate a particular
form of difficulty against which all photographers
bump at times — the difficulty of finding a viewpoint
that will do justice to the particular subject. St. Paul’s
Cathedral is about as familiar a building as can be imagined ;
but, like most other cathedrals, it is so closely hemmed in
Fig. I.
with other buildings that it is impossible to get a view
that shows off its points properly.
The stock view of St. Paul’s is the west front as seen from
Ludgate Hill, and even the most distant of the available
viewpoints is so close that the dome sinks down behind the
west turrets, and is made to look insignificant in comparison.
Further, the dome is so foreshortened at close quarters that
its beauty is lost. The lines and proportions of this part
of the structure can only be appreciated from a distance,
and many an artist has come to grief through drawing it
from a standpoint much too close. Other artists have
failed to draw it correctly from any point ; but the camera
does it for us easily and correctly in a fraction of a second.
Fig. 3 is a painful example of the sort of thing that
literally stares us in the face when we are looking for a
good viewpoint. The buildings in the foreground are bad
enough, but even if they were swept away there is an inner
barrier of buildings around the cathedral, of which nothing
can be seen lower than the supporting columns of the dome.
Bad as the near buildings are, the advertisement makes
one of them worse. Till recently there was another adver¬
tisement here, which, although less obtrusive, was powerful
enough to render this view hopeless. In the original print

the hanging ladder can be distinctly seen, with two men
on it and another at the top, and from their size it is clear
that the letters are nearly twenty feet high. What are
we to do with town subjects when we are yelled at by
twenty-foot letters ? I was asked whether this particular
inscription referred to a new brand of suet ; and I think
that my answer, “ Possibly,” was a commendably mild
one in the circumstances.
Fig. I is the familiar view of the dome from Bank Side.
It is by no means a view of the cathedral, which is here
completely hidden by a screen of warehouses. This view
is generally used as a characteristic background for barges,
or something of the sort, in the foreground. Even here it
would have been better for some such note, but there
was nothing available during the brief time I could spare,
so I transferred ^ome of the interest to the sky.
In Fig. 2 the sky was the real subject. I used the dome as
a dominant detail in a bit of a city skyline. Even when
making a cloud negative it is advisable to show something
terrestrial, so as to get an idea of the height of the clouds,
and where they ought to be in the case of combination
printing.
Talking about clouds, there are many photographers who
bemoan their inability to get them so that they will print
out with the rest of the negative. The three prints shown
were taken within a very short period, and I was after the
clouds in two of them. The exception was Fig. 3, in which
only the lower part of the sky is shown. If no more were
included in Fig. 2, there would be no clouds to notice.
Further, Fig. 3 was taken without the yellow filter which
was used for the other two, and it had more exposure for
the sake of the near houses. There are no near objects
in Figs. I and 2, and the exposure could be cut down
accordingly.
I took care not to over-develop those with the clouds,
but there is all the detail I wanted elsewhere. Each is the
first print from the negative, without dodging of any kind.
It happened that for these negatives I was testing the new
Burroughs Wellcome fine-grain developer tabloids ; not
that I was worrying about grain, but if any developer is
specially good for miniature negatives it ought to be specially
good for larger ones. At any rate, I found it a nice, clean,
easy developer, and the negatives are all right, even for a
first test. I am sure I could get splendid negatives with
this developer ; and I say the same for Rytol, and ever so
many others. But I never examine my negatives under
a high-power microscope. I value peace of mind.
This has taken me some distance from viewpoints, but
I dare say I -shall find my wav back to them.

OUTDOOR PORTRAITS
Some hints on Lighting and Backgrounds.
An outdoor portrait has a charm
all its own, and no wonder, for
one can place the ' ' sitter ’ ’ in
so many different positions to obtain
just that type of lighting which best
suits the subject, or the taste. Top¬
lighting, side-lighting, against-the-light
effects ; all these can be obtained at
will outdoors, without having to
resort to fancy gadgets, spot-liglits,
and so on.
A wall as background .
By R. S. JACKSON.
Outdoor light is ver}’ intense, much
more so than ordinary- artificial light ;
and this makes it possible to give fast
exposures, which in turn make for
better results, for the faster the
exposure the better is the chance of
success, especially in the portraiture
of children. Also, sitters seem to be
far less self-conscious outdoors, and
one finds less tendency towards studio
stare and stiff-neck poses, which are
sometimes troublesome in home por¬
traiture .
After making experiments with ah
sorts of lighting systems the writer has
obtained some cane rods, white muslin
and two or three white boards.
With these simple materials it is
possible to rig up a rough outdoor
studio in a few minutes. Whilst not
really necessaiy^ the rods covered with
the muslin suggest privacy to the
sitter, and also help to control the
light — a most important matter.
The sun is sometimes an unwelcome
guest. His light is valuable, but his
direct rays may spoil the expressions
of the subjects.
During the midday hours, i /60th
of a second at f/8 with a medium
speed film or plate gives a -good
negative, strong enough for chloro-
bromide printing, yet rich enough in
gradation for enlargements.
As for backgrounds, they are ready
at hand in the open spaces. A piece
oi t.'ellis kept right out of focus makes
a background which has to be seen to
be appreciated. A pebble-dashed wall
or house-end, or even an ivy-
covered wall — both kept well out of
focus, of course — make backgrounds
worthy of any portrait. Even seaside
snaps, if carefully posed so that the
sands form the background, can be
made into real portraits.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
Photography meant nothing to
me until a day came, early in
1920, when a friend who had
been one of my companions on a cycle
tour presented me with a P.O.P. Brownie
picture showing the three of us — some¬
what disreputable and not very pictorial
cyclists — posed against the background
of a Warwickshire highway. In that
moment my interest in photography
was born ; if a camera would give
such \ ivid records of personal experiences
as that, then a camera I must have.
" Photography for me thus took its
origin as an adjunct to cycle touring ;
and, since road travel has always re¬
mained one of my main interests, the
incentive to photography has b.een
predominantly the desire to make per¬
manent records of the beautiful and the
interesting scenes met with on the road.
While still in my novitiate, however,
photography began to prove itself quite
a major component in the combination
of interests, for it was photography that
hrst made possible more ambitious ideas
of travel. The opportunity for a cycle
tour in Central Europe suddenly came ;
but in those student days money was a
problem, and the only way was to borrow,
gambling on the chance of recovering
e.xpenses with illustrated articles after¬
wards. The gamble, fortunately, came
off without the least difficulty, and thus
wedded my photographic and travel
interests indissolubly.
" In so far as my work is pictorial it
is because it follows the principle so
often laid down by Ward Muir in his
‘ Bandit ‘ days ; if you would make a
beautiful photograph you must hnd a
beautiful fact, and set your camera down
in front of it. Personally, having been
made without the artistic ego which
yearns for self-expression — or else being
unable to believe that such self-e.xpres-
sion could be of any possible interest — I
am content if I can obtain a photo¬
graphic representation which recalls to
me one of the ' high-lights ’ of mv travel¬
ling experiences, and at the same time,
thanks to some effect of lighting, atmo¬
sphere, or composition, capable maybe
of giving pleasure to others.
My photographic work has-therefore
run almost exclusively along the lines
of pictorial landscape or pure record
work, by straightforward technique,
governed by the desire to obtain always
the matchless perfection of tone render¬
ing which the photographic medium
permits, and to render the subject as
beautifully as photography will give it.
“ As regards means, 1 may use for
pictorial purposes any one of half a
dozen instruments, including a quarter-
plate reflex, with a battery of inter¬
changeable len.ses, a favourite much-
worn Cameo, a 34 x 24 roll-hlm Sibyl, and
a Leica. Each pattern has its own appeal
and its particular usefulness, so that,
on motoring occasions, when the question
of transport involves no problems, we
go prepared for all emergencies and
take the lot. On one famous week¬
end, with a like-minded companion, any
bandit who might have chanced to
decamp with our Austin Seven would
have enriched himself beyond his wildest
hopes with sixteen cameras !
At one time 1 used panchromatic
plates whenever possible ; but the greatly
improved highly orthochromatic roll
films introduced within recent years,
and, more particularly, the new fine-
grain panchromatic roll films, have
removed the grounds for this preference.
My exposures are invariably developed
by time, usually in a tank, with Azol for
large negatives, and the Kodak Borax-
M.Q. developer for small negatives.
Negatives made for pictorial purposes are
printed by projection, on Kodak Royal
bromide for preference, with no more
special treatment than composing in the
enlarger, and giving local shading if
needed. For the sake of the cloud effects
on which the charm of a landscape to me
so much depends, my exposures are
almost invariably made through a light
or medium filter, and are developed to
moderate contrast only, to retain easy
printing quality in the skies.
Like so many other contributors to
this series I must pay a tribute to the
value of the assistance and criticisms ob- ‘
tained in club membership.”

IN a world where the march of
progress is signified by an out¬
break of unlovely structures of
brick with roofs of slate, or ramshackle
buildings covered with corrugated
iron, it is refreshing to see such sur¬
vivals from the past as are shown on
the opposite page, where the dignity of
whitewashed walls and the picturesque
quality arising from thatched roofs
have been depicted.
Country Cottages.
These cottages in the country make
very attractive subjects, particularly
to the dweller in a town where, too
often, beauty is sacrificed to utility.
It may be true that pictures are to
be found everywhere ; but, if any
one of us were offered the choice, it is
doubtful if we would prefer to attempt
to make a picture of a row of work¬
men’s cottages in a town to dealing
with thatched houses in the country.
For one thing, the former seldom
seem to lend themselves to treatment,
and, even in the most favourable
circumstances, it would take a master
hand to make an3rthing of them ;
whereas, in the case of cottages in
the country, their nature, design and
structure, to say nothing of the way
in which they seem to fit in with their
settings, invite the artist to reproduce
their attraction.
It is, however, wise to try and avoid
any suggestion of an urban character.
In these days of macadamised roads,
telegraph poles, electric pylons, and
the like, it is not too easy to retain
the essentially country nature of such
cottages as we have in mind. The
iron railings in No. i, “ Thatch,” by
^ J. Knight, offer an instance of the
sort of thing that should be avoided,
for, while the cottage seems all that
could be desired, and the light upon
its gable conveys a pleasant feeling
of sunlight, those railings hint of the
town and are not altogether in keeping.
Incongruous Elements.
They present an aspect of incon¬
gruity that it would be as well to
exclude, and, possibly, seen from
another angle they would not seem
quite so obtrusive.
The fence in No. 5, “ Rural Eng¬
land,” by F. Wastcott, is more
appropriate both in its irregularity
and in the fact that it is made of
pieces of wood of indeterminate shape.
It does not seem out of keeping with
the cottage around which it is set,
but at the right-hand side there is a
telegraph pole, which is even more
assertive than the railings in No. i,
and it is difficult to understand why
it has been retained.
Fortunately, it does not come at a
vital spot, and it can be removed
simply by trimming a bare quarter of
an inch from the right-hand side — an
expedient that is obviously desirable,
A little more foreground, if any is
included in the negative, would be
helpful, but in other respects the
subject is very well chosen.
The sunlight, perhaps, is not quite
so forcefully expressed as in the
former print, but the sky has pleasingly
soft gradations, and the composition,
after the removal of the pole, is
better, because it does not suggest
a feeling of restriction as does the
other.
Choice of Viewpoint.
However, it often happens that
in dealing with this sort of subject
the viewpoints are limited, and it is
not always feasible to get far enough
away from the subject to give it an
adequate setting.
Something may be done, perhaps, if
a choice of lenses is available, but
such does not form part of everyone’s
equipment, and the use of a lens of
extremely short focus often gives an
apparent falsity of perspective that
is artistically unpleasing. In No. 2,
“ Tumbledown,” by L. C. Harris, a
greater space for a setting would not
be undesirable, and a bit more fore¬
ground seems to be demanded. A
more distant viewpoint, if available,
would provide a better spacing, and,
as far as caA be seen, no element of
incongruity mars the subject.
There is, again, something of a
sense of restriction in the way the
surroundings are limited in the case
of No. 4, ‘‘ Cottage at Selworthy,”
by Stanley S. J. Mills, which, other¬
wise, is almost exemplary in its choice
of both material and viewpoint. The
building seems to nestle into its
setting as if it had grown there, and,
this being so, each helps to display
the other. The sunlight, too, lends
243
the beneficence of its beauty, but the
lack of a sufficient foreground is felt,
and, if a more distant viewpoint were
available, it really ought to have
been selected instead.
Adequacy of Setting.
No. 3, ” Selworthy,” by W'. J.
Mitchenhall, is in the same neighbour¬
hood, and it would not be surprising
to find that the second cottage formecl
the subject material of No. 4 ; but, if
so, the data so afforded are not sufficient
to enable it to be said that a better
viewpoint was possible in that case.
The foreground is better judged in
No. 3, but against this advantage
has to be set the fact that less of the
cottage front is shown. That, most
people will agree, should be an essential
element, and, taking everything into
consideration, there is little to choose
between the two efforts.
A measure of discernment has been
exercised in both cases, for, while
No. 3 seems to demand a vertical
picture, the arrangement of the cottage
and the way it is seen in No. 4 neces¬
sitates the choice of a horizontal
shape; and, but for the lack of fore¬
ground in the latter, there does not
seem to be any but the slightest
of reasons for criticising the arrange¬
ment of the composition.
Excess of Foreground.
In comparison. No. 6, ' Thatch
Cottages, Basingstoke,” by A. J.
Hall, suffers from an excess of what
can only be. described as a most
uninteresting foreground.
Its blank vacuity quite spoils any
attraction that might otherwise be
shown by the cottage which is in¬
tended to form the centre of attraction.
Little could be done with such an
unamenable stretch of roadway under
the existing lighting, but it is possible
that, when the sun is lower, its
assertiveness of tone would be appre¬
ciably diminished, and an expedient
that is sometimes useful in such cases
is the adoption of a very low view¬
point. This, if the rising front is
brought into action as well, has the
effect of constricting the foreground
and diminishing its width, and, at
the same time, endows the nearer
vertical planes with an added im¬
pressiveness. '' Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“A HALT BY THE WAY,” by E. Coast.
Not the least of the attractions of
a walking tour are the intervals
of resting in secluded spots,
such as is portrayed in this picture,
and in the recording of such intervals
the utility of a camera as part of
the outfit is unquestionable. Efforts
so obtained may be more inclined to
the topographical than the pictorial,
though this need not be the
case ; and, as in this instance,
it is often possible to enlist
the assistance of a companion
as a model in working out an
artistic theme.
Landscapes and Figures.
The pool, with its sunlit
rocks and their reflections,
makes a not unpleasing study,
but one which, of its nature,
does not exercise more than
a momentary attraction in
itself and without the figure.
It is possible that, in the
immediate vicinity, something
might be found that would
be capable of standing alone
and of attaining sufficient
interest to make a picture,
but it would need careful
handling and treatment, as
well as the inclusion of a
feature of sufficient signi¬
ficance to create a definite
and unquestionable centre of
interest.
In its absence, the rocks
and water could do no more
than provide a setting which
almost demands a figure to
make it complete. That the
fact has been appreciated and
provision made to meet the
need is shown by the inclu¬
sion of the figure (i) in this case. The
figure is essential to the theme, and
not only does she provide the centre
of interest, but her presence vitalises
the surroundings and also emphasises
the value of the effect of sunshine.
From the compositional standpoint,
her figure is strongly placed ; the
human interest she excites places
her predominance beyond all doubt ;
and her pose is graceful and pleasing.
She exerts a pull greater than any
other single element, and, on these
grounds, she may be regarded as the
keynote of the whole thing.
Theme and Effect.
Her pose, taken in conjunction with
tier dress and accoutrements, suggests
an interval of rest after a journey
in s,ylvan surroundings, a suggestion
which forms the theme.
To this theme is accorded the beau¬
tifying effect of sunshine, which, by
bestowing its influence upon her, be¬
comes a secondary motive, and it is the
conjunction of the human interest of the
theme and the attraction of the effect
that bestows a pictorial appeal.
So far so good, but if it could have
been said that the sunlight, at its
brightest, took effect upon the figure,
the appeal would have been appreciably
increased ; but, unfortunately, bright¬
nesses of equal if not greater intensity
are to be found elsewhere in the
setting. They may not be sufficiently
insistent to upset the principality of
the figure, but, none the less, they
are inclined to be disturbing.
There is the possibility that, at
another time of day, a figure placed
in the same position would be in full
sunUght, and the rocks would either
be in shadow or not quite so brilliantly
illumined ; but on a walldng tour it is
often impossible to choose a time
when conditions are altogether favour¬
able, and a subject has to be taken as
and when the opportunity
offers. Assuming this to be
the case, a valid excuse is
provided, but in an ideal
rendering the relative values
should be as described.
Even now, it would be
possible to effect some adjust¬
ment in the fequired direction
by local control or the employ¬
ment of one of the control
processes. The various lights,
excepting those on the figure
itself, should be subdued,
due regard being paid to their
placing and the requirements
of naturalism. Provided care
be taken not to introduce any
sense of falsity ; to avoid
any difference in texture ;
and to prevent the retouching
from becoming apparent, the
representation would benefit
very considerably.
The End and the Means.
The end would justify the
means, and though control
for the sake of control is
not advocated, its employ¬
ment is warranted where
either a picture is made out
of nothing or a subject that is
good is made better still.
Another defect, which does
not happen to be very notice¬
able in this particular case, is a slight
departure from the level. It is princi¬
pally to be seen in the lack of truth
in the vertical alignment of the reflec¬
tions with the objects they repeat.
However, the fault can readily be
corrected by trimming, and no doubt
will be if another print be made.
Nevertheless, and despite these
criticisms, the choice of the subject
shows an eye for a picture, and a not
inconsiderable promise, while at the
same time it exemplifies the part that
photography can play during a walking
tour. “ Mentor.”

THE MINIATURE POSTAL CLUB.
Sir, — May I ask space to write in reference to the reader’s
query, answered in " The A.P. & C.” for August 29th under the
title " Postal Clubs ” ?
I would mention that the Photographic Miniature Postal
Portfolio is always open to membership. Following upon the
suggestions made by Geo. A. Slight in his letter for June 28th,
1933. this postal club expands in circles. Each circle has an
Assistant Secretary and Committee. It is not necessary for
the P.M.C.C. to have a waiting list in the general sense, unless,
of course, the number of would-be members is too small to
support a new circle.
On the other hand, and this is important, there are no hard
and fast, unbreakable rules about the numbers necessary before
a new circle can be set going. It is really up to the new
members.
On that note of independence the success of the circles is
largely due. It is very true that a postal club is just what the
members make of it. Invaluable to everyone, of course, is the
constant interchange between circles of notebooks and prints
of the month. Also of lecturettes, which have been one of the
most important features of the club for some time. Lately,
the effects of hard and soft waters from various sources, and
differing contrast ranges in printing papers, developers. Quite
a few of our members are well-known workers.
Any new circle can draw upon — indeed, when necessary, is
expected to draw upon — the accumulated and accumulating
knowledge and experience of all this.
All letters of enquiry should be addressed to Geo. A. Slight,
Hon. General Secretary, 18, Ewelme Rd., Forest Hill, London,
S.E.23.
Thanking you, and for the space you have already given
to the club. — Yours, etc., C. S. GRANT.

PLAGIARISM.
Sir, — -It would appear from the picture of Mr. Kilbourn's,
entitled “ To-morrow will be Friday,” reproduced in the
current issue of your periodical, that a deliberate attempt has
been made to reproduce the old master '' Thursday ” in the
form of a photograph. Whilst admitting that one can obtain
inspiration from the study of the methods of old masters I
feel I must voice a protest against deliberate copying of their
methods.
My own opinion is that surely the two chief items to con¬
sider in successful pictorial photography are, firstly, composition
and, secondly, tone value’. I consider it far easier to obtain
perfect tone value, gradation, etc., from a sheet of bromide
paper than to obtain perfect composition thereon. The solution
which Mr. Kilbourn appears to have adopted for getting over
the difficulties associated with obtaining good composition
— i.e., by copying that of an acknowledged master — is without
doubt a very easy one, but I cannot bring myself to believe
it a fair one, or one that I should care to see universally adopted.
In view of this I should be extremely interested to hear the
opinions of some of your readers as to where '' cribbing ”
starts and where it stops in pictorial photography.
May 1 take this opportunity of congratulating you on your
excellent periodical and wish it the very best of luck ? — Yours,
etc., F. PARKIN.
Sir, — Remembering Mr. Rae Griffin, and the birth of the
Miniature Postal Club, I beg leave to attempt to do something
similar.
I have been feeling for some time that a postal club — -on the
lines of the Miniature Postal Club — would be a tremendous
boon to South African enthusiasts. This is a large country,
and there must be many enthusiastic amateurs who live too
far from the town photographic club — if indeed there exists
one — to join up. To such I appeal now. I would be pleased
if any South African amateur, reading this note of mine,
would drop me a line with the object of forming such a club.
Thanking you. — Yours, etc., EDWIN H. KEW,
(" Reinbron,” Cradock, C.P., S. Africa.)
WATERLOO BRIDGE.
Sir, — As the demolition of Rennie’s exquisite arches pro¬
ceeds, an abundance of opportunity is provided for pictorial
and record photographers to obtain fine studies of permanent
value.
A number of artists in older mediums are already engaged in
making their versions of the event, and it is to be desired that
the camera will not be allowed to neglect its full and proper
share. — Yours, etc., G. NINEHAM.
GLAZING PRINTS.
Sir,- — It seems that many of your readers are “ stuck ”
when it comes to removing their hoped-for glossy prints from
the ferrotype tins. Why ? Because the prints are stuck,
and how !
Here is the answer to their prayers.
Fix prints in an acid hypo bath and wash as usual. Then
remove from wash water and swab the face of the prints with
dilute acetic acid — one part of glacial acetic acid to about
25 parts of water — also swab off the ferrotype plate with the
same mixture and rub dry with a wad of absorbent cotton,
or, as you in England say, " a pledget of cotton-wool.” Squil-
gee (squeegee) the print to the tin and let dry thoroughly, then
pick it up, because it has fallen from the tin with no cursing
on the photographer’s part. Now examine the print in a
A PRINTER’S ERROR.
Sir, — I am afraid that by interposing a full-point your
printer makes me appear to be taking outrageous liberties with
high-speed emulsions, according to my letter published on
.4ugust 15th, where I am made to state " exposures . . . were
of the order of i/iooth second at f/ii . . . although actually
about a quarter second at f/3.2, with a medium filter was given.”
” F/thirty-two ” should be read instead of the soup-plate
aperture mentioned in print. — Yours, etc.,
R. E. S. WHITE.
PROOFS FROM WET NEGATIVES.
Sir, — Having noticed in this week’s ” -A.P.” an article on
making proofs from wet negatives by H. Barker- Bland, may
I suggest what seems to my mind a much simpler method.
Personally, I wet the sensitised paper with water and stick
it on to the back of the negative and press flat. The paper
adheres to the negative as in a printing-frame, and the print
is made in the usual manner. This method, as you see, needs
no extra apparatus, and is quite satisfactory. — Yours, etc.,
W. E. RUBY.
THE PERFECT CAMERA.
Sir, — The comments and suggestions of your correspondent
Oliver Rustic, and his reference to " an excellent cause ” are
well timed, and will no doubt be read with considerable interest.
It is appalling that where modern "miniature” cameras
are concerned, two models only, i.e., the Dallmeyer Pocket
Dual, and the N. & G. Vest Pocket Sibyl, exist at present —
worthy to rank as first-class British-made products. One
cannot help thinking that the strenuous, but unseemly, con¬
centration during recent years on what is known as " the photo¬
finishing films - cum - free gift coupon cameras - cum - more
films and photo-finishing ramp,” involving sheer neglect of
numerous highly important matters, must have offered mar¬
vellous opportunities for enterprising foreign firms to jump in
and capture the best part of the world’s high-class photo¬
graphic apparatus manufacturing business. — Yours, etc.,

The P.P.A. Exhibitions
At the Princes Galleries, Piccadilly, W.i.
Again this year the members of
the Professional Photographers’
Association have divided their
annual show. They have realised,
and wisely, that modern portraiture
with the camera is becoming a very
individual thing that calls for personal
treatment and presentation. It is,
in many instances, a pictorial problem
in which the sitter and the artist
collaborate. For this reason the pro¬
duction of purely commercial work
— admittedly calling for a high degree
of technical skill — is in another cate¬
gory, although both are the output of
professional craftsmen with the camera.
The first half of the P.P.A. annual
exhibition, which opened on September
5th at Princes Galleries, Piccadilly,
W.I, is devoted entirely to modern
industrial photography, and very fine
stuff it is.
Most of the prints are on a big
scale, generous and bold in treatment,
and the technical excellence of some
of them is staggering. It really shows
what photography can do when it tries,
or rather what the photographer can
do when he knows how.
Here, in the most casual manner,
as part of a firm’s exhibit — all in the
day’s work, apparently — are subjects
for commercial purposes that would
hold their own in any show of the
most up-to-date pictorial photography.
It is perhaps because commercial and
industrial photography is up-to-date
that this impression is created.
It shows at least that here is a no¬
table force to be reckoned with in all
future advertising campaigns, in which
pictorial and graphic representations
are made.
Technical excellence is outstanding,
and this is a tribute not only to British
photographers, but also to the im¬
provements made in recent years in
plates, films and papers. It is also
apparent that the style of many photo¬
graphic firms is becoming strongly
individualised, so that their work
bears a definite hall-mark of personal
quality.
Variety of subject combined with a
high standard of quality makes this
an easy exhibition to look at. It is
of as much interest to the general
public as to the architect or advertiser,
engineer or fashion expert. Screws
given the majesty of forest trees,
crystallised fruits which look too real
for comfort, a single motor coach
multiplied into a long vista of shining
cars, rings making patterns with the
sun, furs coming to life, and shimmering
frocks perfectly worn, Vesuvius
smoking and Edinburgh flood-lit, heads
many times larger than life, and
details as delicate as nature can make
them ; such is the variety of treat¬
ment industrial photography can com¬
mand.
In a display so good it would be
invidious to single out particular
examples, but it is worthy of note that
all the exhibitors are British, and many
of them are names well known as
portraitists of high rank, and some
as successful " pictorial ” photogra¬
phers. As an outlet for pictorialism,
combined with high technique, in¬
dustrial photography has come to
stay.
Apart from the numerous applica¬
tions to a great variety of commodities,
as illustrations of their excellence and
utility, this exhibition demonstrates
the value of the photograph for poster
work.
Seven photographic posters ten
feet high are on view, and apart from
their advertising appeal, the technical
quality is astonishing. They indicate
the perfection of the comparatively
small negatives from which these
big enlargements were made.
Another exhibit draws attention
to the use of landscape in poster
display, a form of photographic adver¬
tising used extensively by continental
railways but still new to this
country.
There are over 400 pictures in the
exhibition, and it closes on September
15th. The second half of the P.P.A.
exhibition, devoted to portraiture,
will be opened in the same gallery
on September i8th.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CIN£ APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Editing Your Summer Films F. R. UNDY.
AT this time of the year cin4
camera owners have generally
amassed quite a miscellaneous
collection of films, the fruits of holidays
and various other outdoor activities.
The sorting out of these, the renioval
of unnecessary portions, and the
blending of the various shots into
interesting complete films ready for
projection, provides a really fascinating
occupation.
This editing process is a most
essential part of cinematography. An
odd collection of shots joined hap-
iiazardly will gain but little applause
from an audience ; yet by careful
finishing they can be made a real
joy to project and watch.
The beginner with only a small
number of films could manage without
special apparatus, but the purchase
of a special cin6 editing outfit would
l)e a really worth-while investment
and prove a great boon. The spindles
greatly facilitate the winding of the
film, and the cutting and splicing
outfit will save much time and give
a neat finish. As the amateur advances
he will come across further pieces of
apparatus, including a device for
magnifying and illuminating the pic¬
tures for inspection, which, though
not essential, are very convenient.
At first, however, he can carry on
without them, and they need not be
mentioned here.
Before commencing, the beginner
should be quite clear as to what the
editing of his films calls for. The
essential points to remember in edit¬
ing are that, in the first place, all
spoilt and unwanted frames are to be
cut out and discarded, the various
shots are then to be placed in pre¬
sentable sequence, and titles added
to make the continuity smooth and
interesting (amateurs sometimes pro¬
duce short shots without them, but
they are a great asset, and indeed,
essential for a good film). The whole
collection is then to be spliced
together to form long reels ready for
projection.
The first procedure is to run the
whole collection through the proj ector,
just as it is, and make a note of
the subject of each separate shot as
it appears.
Now leave the films for a time, or
at least do not alter them in any way
yet, and work on the list you have
prepared. Consider the various shots
and decide in what order they should
appear in the final film, numbering
each shot in the order in which it has
to appear.
The question of titles arises now,
and these should be prepared before
further progress is made with the
film. The titles may be made either
professionally or by the amateur
himself. The making of these need
not be discussed here, but it should
be remembered that the object of the
titles is to explain the picture and
aid the smooth flow of the production.
They are of great importance, j^et
nevertheless secondary to the picture
itself. Words, therefore, should be used
economically. A carefully-thought-
out title can often be made to cover
a number of different scenes. These
points, then, should be borne in
mind when deciding at what points
titles will have to go.
r . .
It will be most convenient if the
titles are filmed on one reel in the
order in which they are to be used,
so that when you are splicing together
it will be a simple matter to cut off
the title and splice it in as you come
to it. Otherwise, I find it most
convenient to make a list of the titles
and assign each a letter (a, b, c, and
so on), so that you can put the letter
in your list of scenes after the scene
it is to follow.
When going through your films
you may also wish to include some
further shots — more close-ups, for
instance — and if the persons concerned
are available this will be quite an
easy matter, and will all help to
improv'e the film.
Turning to your films again, they
should now be run through slowly and
critically, and mark on the edge of the
film all fogged and otherwise spoilt
frames which are to be cut out alto¬
gether, and, referring to your list,
mark the sections which have to be
cut out and placed elsewhere. Each

film can be examined by direct inspec¬
tion when cutting.
As the various short films are cut
off there is a danger of them becoming
misplaced. To avoid this, one of
the most practical ideas I have come
across is to hang them on pins in their
correct order by means of one of the
sprocket holes. The first shot you cut
off, for instance, may have to be placed
fifth in your final film, so that it
should be placed on the fifth pin until
you are ready to start joining.
All waste having been discarded,
and the rest being in order, the splicing
process should be put in hand. Three
feet of waste film will be required first
as a leader. Following this will come
the general title and other explanatory
notes which may be desired, then will
follow the shots and titles in order.
If the titles have been made on one
spool in the order of their appearance,
it will only be necessary to cut them
off and splice in as you come to them.
If prepared haphazardly it would be
best to cut them apart and hang on
pins in their appropriate places.
The completed film should be re¬
wound on to a fresh spool and run
through the projector, and if further im¬
provements can be made these should
September I2t]i, 1934
be put in hand without delay. The film
will then be ready for the audiences.
When the film is finished it will,
of course, contain a great number of
joins which, sooner or later, may break
apart. It is therefore a sound idea
to prepare a copy film free from
joins. If you are using positive
material you could send the film to
the makers and have a fresh copy made .
If negative-positive film is being
used, the negative should be edited
to correspond with the positive you
have already done. New positives,
free from joins can then be taken off
this at will.
Looking^ Ahead
COLOUR films are bound to come.
And, as we know by experience
where talking films are con¬
cerned, everv new technical process
means a more or less complete set-back
at the studios while the film world is
accustoming itself to the new tech¬
nique. That is why it is important
that there should be a good deal of
experimenting in colour work, so that
the technical process, when it does
come, may be perfect — unlike the
early “ talkies ” — and also that people
may gradually get to understand the
possibilities of this new art medium ;
not merely demand colour for colour’s
sake.
I spent an interesting evening
recently at Eastbourne watching local
enthusiasts’ efforts with the new
Uufaycolor film. Dr. Bodkin Adams
is the President of the Eastbourne
Amateur Cine Enthusiasts’ Club, and
Mr. G. E. Inskeep the Hon. Secre¬
tary. The meeting was held at the
Oak Cabin Restaurant. Excellenb
results have been obtained by mem¬
bers using this new colour process, and
the showing of these films was followed
by keen discussion.
Two films which won premier
awards in last year’s I.A.C. compe¬
tition — “ Egypt and Back,” and
“Westminster in Winter” — were also
screened.
Technical Innovations.
Colour is not the only new develop¬
ment on the way. The Pathescope
17.5-mm. sound-on-film apparatus will
probably be ready in October. The
projector is being manufactured in
this country as well as in America.
The projector can be used either with
variable density or variable width
sound track, and pictures 10 ft. wide
can be obtained. It is claimed that
any standard film reduced to 17.5
mm. can be shown.
A new i6-mm. talkie apparatus is
being sponsored by Gaumont-British
Equipments.
in the Cine World
A reversion to the old type of
“ beater ” movement for actuating
the film through the gate — so much
in use at one time on standard pro¬
jectors — has been made in the new
Siemens i6-mm. projector.
First Film by R.F.S.
The Religious Film Society has
completed arrangements with the
Western Electric Company for the
distribution to churches and religious
organisations of their first film, ten¬
tatively entitled “Mastership” (two
reels).
This film describes the life of a
typical middle-class family and illus¬
trates how, arising out of a quarrel,
they individually visit the local Mission
Hall, where the famous preacher.
Lax of Poplar, is holding one of his
regular meetings. Remarkable inci¬
dents, which Lax has actually en¬
countered in real life, are reconstructed
in the film, which is frankly evangel¬
ical in character.
“ Documentary.”
“ Documentary ” is the new word
in the film world. We used to call
those news-reel items “ interest ” films,
or, more briefly, “ shorts.” But there
is more to it than a change of name.
A documentary film worthy of the
name is more than a faithful camera
record — it features dramatic content.
Moods, purpose, impressions, brilliant
cutting and editing all go to make up
the many facets of the documentary
film. The mosaic art of this type of
film should make a special appeal to
the amateur cinematographer. Results
depend, not upon elaborately con¬
structed sets, but upon artistic insight
and technique.
Amateurs Learn How.
Mr. Basil Wright chose “ Cutting ”
for the subject of his talk at the
Independent Film Makers’ Summer
School, held at Welwyn recently.
He showed how documentary films
By
M. A. LOVELL-BURGESS.
require an entirely different working
procedure from the ordinary story
film, and demonstrated the various
effects obtained by different juxta¬
position of the same shots. He also
spoke of the welding of two sequences
of dissimilar content into a har¬
monious continuity by cutting on a
similarity of movement. Mr. John
Grierson, who spoke on “ Sound,” said
that just as in the early days of cinema
the film was merely a record of what a
playgoer might expect to see from the
front row of the stalls (amateurs,
please note !) so it is with sound
to-day. He went on to explain that
most directors to-day think only in
terms of what might be called “ un¬
broken sound,” just as in the days
of the early silent films. But sound
could be cut, dissolved, superimposed,
and voices used for conveying atmo¬
sphere instead of dialogue. And
rhyming, chanting, and the subjective
worci-building of James Joyce could
find a place in the sound film.
Proposed Documentary Film.
The London Group of the Indepen¬
dent Film Makers’ Association has
decided to work on Educational and
Documentary films. “ Markets ” is
the provisional title of a film dealing
with the three London markets.
Covent Garden, Smithfield and
Billingsgate. The response of one’s
mind to a good idea is, as usual,
“ Why hasn’t it been done before ?

A special folder offering second-hand
surplus apparatus taken in exchange dur¬
ing the past season has just been issued
by the City Sale & Exchange, Ltd.,
54, Lime Street, E.C.3. It is full of
attractive items, many of which are

A collapsible lens hood is a desirable
accessory for every modern camera, and
an extremely practical hood embodying
all that is necessary is the Zod'"! col¬
lapsible lens hood offered by Messrs.
Wallace Heaton, Ltd., 119, New Bond
Street, W.t. This is telescopic in
character and folds fiat for carrying.
It has no loose parts, and is so designed
that the various sections do not rub or
chafe on each other, so that it is im¬
possible for the black finish inside to
become worn through rubbing. It is
made in two sizes, and with adjustable
screws, which will fit most of the popular
lens sizes available on modern hand
cameras. Filter rings to accommodate
i;j: or i j in. filters are provided, and a
notable feature is that, although the
body of the hood is circular to clamp on
the lens, the front aperture is rectangular
and can be adjusted for either vertical or
horizontal pictures. There is also an
additional top lens hood which is hinged
and can be used, if necessarj^ as a cap.
The hood sells at 7s. 6d. for all models,
and the filter rings are 2S. each.

results, according to our brief test, from
an M.Q. developer, a formula for which
is included in the instructions. Another
unusual feature of this gaslight paper
is that development takes from two to
three minutes. After development the
prints are rinsed, or placed in an acetic
acid stop-bath, and fixed in acid hypo.
Although a green colour is of limited
use, this is an easy way of securing it
when the character of the subject makes
it appropriate.
In the Replies page of our issue for
September 5th we gave an amidol formula
in which the amount of sodium sulphite
was given as 2 oz. of crystals. This
should have been i oz., or if the an¬
hydrous sulphite is used, J oz.
The Ensign " Print-Neg ” Album is
a new idea for the amateur that will be
appreciated by many readers of “ The
A.P.” The album "pages” are in a
continuous strip that folds up fan
fashion, and each page to which a
contact print is affixed has a pocket at
the back to hold the negative of that
subject. Each little album takes six
prints and six negatives, and six
albums fit neatly into a book-box. A
collection of these resembles a set of
small volumes, and will contain a very
large number of photographs. Book-
boxes with six albums for miniature
prints cost is. each in card, or 2S. leather
covered. For 2^X3^ prints and nega¬
tives the price is 2S. and 3s. respectively.
They are obtainable from Ensign, Ltd.,
High Holborn, W.C.i.
The British Photographic Fellowship
started their 2,000-mile tour through
France, Germany and Austria last week.
The members of the party are travelling
the whole journey in two A.E.C. “ Q ”
luxury coaches chartered from Elliott
Bros. (Bournemouth), Ltd. This is the
first time that members of a photo¬
graphic association have undertaken a
Continental tour in their own motor
coaches, which they have taken across
the Channel with them. Mr. S. W.
Kenyon, the organiser of the tour, is
to be congratulated on his enterprise.
The Midland Salon of Photography
was opened at the Castle Museum,
-'Nottingham, on August i8th, and re¬
mains open until the end of the present
week. This is the second occasion on
which the Midland Salon has been held
in Nottingham since it was first organised
in 1923 under the auspices of the Midland
Photographic Federation. The first Salon
was held at Worcester. It has also been
held at Birmingham, Leicester and other
important Midland towns, a different
centre being chosen each year. On this
occasion a highly successful exhibition
of pictorial work has been brought to¬
gether. About 400 prints were entered
ih[ amateur photographer
6 CINEMATOGRAPHER a
from overseas ; of these 173 were accepted.
Nearly 500 were sent from workers in
Great Britain, of which 141 were chosen.
There were also well-supported scientific
and natural-history classes, and a large
number of lantern slides were entered.
The premier award was made to a
fine print by Leonard Misonne, of
Belgium. The local classes were notably
strong, and the entire Salon can again
be counted a success in every way.

iHf AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
p 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
^I^eaders^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for tbe Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
o*\(i Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, mus*
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc'., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that axe not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefuUy before applying, as any communication w’hich does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. {2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ■ How' can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return cf post, nor can w’e give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon alfeo, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issur
to reach the enquirer.
Cut Films.
How are cut films loaded in dark slides ?
J. S. G. (Whitehaven.)
An answer to your query depends very
largely on the sizes of the films. If
they are small they can be put in the
slides just as plates are, and backed up
with a piece of black card of suitable
thickness. If, on the other hand, the
films are large, they must be put into
sheaths made for the purpose.
Paper Negatives.
With paper negatives how is the difficulty of the
grain of the paper got over ? I.H. F. B. (Putney.)
In the case of paper negatives they
are made as translucent as possible by
means of oil, vaseline, Canada balsam,
and so on. Although this makes them
more transparent it does not, and cannot,
do away altogether with the grain of
the paper.
Spoilt Negatives.
I had some films professionally developed, and
send a sample. Can you advise a method to
remedy this professional mess-up ?
G. T, C, (Doncaster.)
We cannot suggest remedies for films
that are hopelessly ruined, whether by
professionals or others. The negative
you send has been completely spoiled,
and there is nothing to be done but to
throw it away.
Size of Camera.
What size of camera should I choose so that it will
give negatives that will enlarge up to postcard
size ? W. A. K. F. (London.)
Any sort of camera worthy of the
name will produce negatives suitable
for enlargement up to postcard size.
Even cheap box cameras costing con¬
siderably less than £\ will do this. It
is not a question of size at all, and many
exhibition enlargements, 20x16 in size,
are made from negatives no larger than
a postage stamp.
Stained Negatives.
Why have the enclosed negatives taken on this
peculiar change ? Will age take any effect on
negatives ? R. S. P. (Peterborough.)
You have either never seen our re¬
peated warnings about careful fixing
and washing, or else you have ignored
them. Such negatives as those you
send are completely spoiled through
careless and hurried methods, and there
is no remedy. As negatives are not
immortal they are certainly affected by
time, but a properly treated negative
should look quite healthy after twenty-
five or even fifty years.
Stained Prints.
What is the cause of the yellow stains on these
gaslight prints ? P. C. (Colchester.)
We have repeatedly pointed out in
our replies and elsewhere that such stains
as you are getting are almost invariably
due to insufficient rinsing between de¬
veloping and fixing. You must not
allow the fixing bath to be contaminated
with developer carried over by the prints.
Mounting Lenses.
I have two 60-in. single lenses which should give
together a 30-in. lens. What length of mount
would they require ? What is the smallest size
plate that could be used with these lenses for
lunar and terrestrial photography ?
F. L. V. (New Southgate.)
The focus of your two 6o-in. lenses
combined would be 30 in. only if the
glasses were touching each other, which
is, of course, not practicable. The
separation of the lenses can be varied
within considerable limits. The result¬
ing focus can be found by dividing the
product of the two focal lengths by
their sum less the separation. We do
not understand what you mean by
asking what is the smallest plate size
that can be used with such a lens. Surely
this would depend upon whether the
particular plate would contain the
subject you were photographing.
Choice of Paper.
When I use - paper I cannot decide which
grade to use. Is there another paper with more
general characteristics that will avoid the use
of vigorous, medium and soft ?
A. R. M. (Twickenham.)
There is no one paper that will give
you the best result from negatives of
different densitj’ and contrast, and that
is whv- different grades of paper are
made and used. You can only decide
which sort to use by studying the
negative, and examining the result of a
print on a given paper. If this print
is too flat and dull use the more vigorous
grade ; if it is too strong and contrasty
use a normal or soft grade.
Damaged Negative.
- -Why is the enclosed negative so spotty and lined ?
••-Ts it possible to improve it ? E, G. P. (Shenfield.)
In the absence of any information as
to methods of development we cannot
say definitely what has caused the
trouble with your negative. There are
indications, however, that it has been
carelessly handled, and we see that the
surface has been abraded, possibly when
removing surface moisture. It is also
clear that the film has been subjected
to too high a temperature, the spots
being small blisters. The damage is
irreparable. .
Type of Enlarger.
I want an enlarger so as to make prints about
15 X 10 in. from 3J x zj negatives, often from only
part of the negative. Has a vertical enlarger
any advantage over a horizontal, or vice versa ?
F. J. (St. Albans.)
Both types of enlargers have their
advantages and disadvantages. There
is one thing that you must at any rate
beware of, and that is that some vertical
enlargers will not enlarge above a certain
limited size, and this limit may make
it impossible for you to enlarge part of
a small negative up to the size you want.
Apart from this limitation one type of
apparatus is just about as good as
another. Many vertical enlargers have
automatic focussing, which saves time
and trouble.
Primuline.
I wish to sensitise some paper with primuline.
Various chemists I have tried do not know it.
What is this substance ? A. E. \V. (Acton.)
Primuline is a dye, and not likely to
be obtained from a chemist. The
Primuline process is generally called
Diazotype, and the description of the
method of working it takes over two
pages in the “ Dictionary of Photo¬
graphy,” so that you will realise it is
not a matter that can be dealt with in
the form of answers to questions. There
is a good deal more in the process than
merely sensitising paper.
Film Adapter.
Is it possible to purchase a sJ x zj mil-film adapter
for a J-plate camera ? Can a similar fitting be
had for a 9 x i z cm. camera ?
A. E. M. (Stranraer.)
It is impossible to answer your ques¬
tion. Such roll-film adapters as are
available will not fit any and every
camera, and only an experienced dealer
can tell you whether any particular
camera you have is capable of being
adapted to take roll film in this way.

We have received many complaints from our
readers In regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18. .
For some considerable time we have refused to
Insert his advertisements In “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received It would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods tor sale, oQering to take
such goods in exchange tor others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
oSers from this quarter.

Night Photography
Although the shorter days are here the keen amateur photographer can
find numerous interesting subjects provided he is equipped with one of the
Zeiss Ikon cameras mentioned under, and uses the hypersensitive panchro¬
matic negative material now available in many brands of film. Theatres,
dances, banquets and dinner parties, fairs, exhibitions, street scenes at
night, are a few subjects which can be tackled easily with the Super Ikonta,
Super Nettel and Contax.
The possessor of a Super Zeiss Ikon camera knows no photographic close
SUPER IKONTA No. 530. Gives sixteen exposures on
the usual 3^X2^ spool — each picture 2^X 1| in. — a useful size without
enlarging. Distance meter coupled with Zeiss Tessar f/3.5,Compur shutter,
1 to 1 /300th second, and Time and Brief Time movements . . £16 12 6
SUPER NETTEL. Uses Contax daylight-loading spools and
gives 36 exposures IfX 1 in. (24x36 mm.). The Super Nettel is a most
worthy addition to the Zeiss Ikon range of miniature cameras. Distance
meter is coupled with Tessar and the imperishable metal focal-plane
shutter is automatically and accurately speeded for I /3th to 1/ 1, 000th sec.,
also movement for Time exposures. Baseboard protects lens when not in

The special Autumn Number of
The Amateur Photographer
will be published next week.
This, as in previous years, will be
considerably enlarged in size, and
in addition to extra art pages of
pictures from the exhibitions, articles
appropriate to the beginning of the
autumn season will prove valuable
to the large number of amateurs
who are continuing their photo¬
graphic activities. Nowadays the
practice of amateur photography
has ceased to be seasonal. Modern
high-speed films and plates, coupled
with big-aperture lenses as standard
fittings for so many cameras, have
definitely extended the season for
outdoor photography, even for the
snapshotter. This worlc is therefore
within range of practically ever}^
camera to-day, in addition to the
enormous amount of photography
that can be conducted indoors, either
by artificial light or in the dark-room.
All these matters will be dealt with
in the Autumn Number, and our
readers are advised to secure copies
of this special issue at an early
moment. It will be published next
Wednesday. The attractive all-over
three-colour cover should be looked
for on the bookstalls.
R.P.S. Entries.
The number of workers who sent
in prints for the pictorial section of
the Royal Photographic Society’s
Exhibition was 670, of whom 350
were British, 58 from the Dominions,
140 Continental, and no from
America. Only 200 of them, with
257 prints, had the honour of
selection. The Dominions, numeri¬
cally, have rather a poor showing ;
on the other hand, the Continent
is represented by 49 exhibitors
with 53 works, and America by
44 exhibitors with 52 works. Among
CoRFE Castle.
A subject that has been photographed
maity times receiving treatment from a
painter who tnakes a useful foreground
object for the photographer.
VoL. LXXVIII. No. 2393.
the lantern slides there is shown,
according to Mr. Dudley Johnston,
who has made this section of the
exhibition, as well as the pictorial
section, his own particular care,
a distinct improvement upon the
rather disappointing level of last
year. A larger entry — about 800 —
was also received. It was possible
from these to select about 180
slides of satisfactory quality. The
slides indicate a tendency to revert
to the good old browns and warm
tones. Only about half a dozen
thiocarbamide slides are included,
and this year that process has been
confined to subjects really fitted to
it. The effort of some workers in
past years to represent certain
landscapes in a blue tone cannot
be regarded as an emphatic success.
Undressed.
If Mrs. Grundy were informed,
without qualification, that there
were five-and-thirty nudes on exhi¬
bition at the Salon, she would
probably make her way there at
once, armed with a very pointed
umbrella, and she would not be much
appeased by the fact that the
exhibition also includes the portraits
of a few clergymen. But really the
set of pictures is remarkable as
showing in how many ways the
unclothed human figure can be
treated, always free from offence.
What one feels in front of these
examples is, not that they are just
put in because they are nudes, to
satisfy a vulgar curiosity, or to
evidence a spirit of daring on the
part either of the worker or of the
hanging committee, but that they
are there because the human body
— after all, creation’s noblest work —
does present opportunities for strong
and delicate pictorial treatment
such as no other subject can afford.

[Hi AMATIUR PHOTOGRAPHER
6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
Entrance and Exit.
There is a little bit of good
psychology in arranging the first
and last works on an exhibition
wall. The Salon has always been
very happy in this respect. This
year it strikes a musical note. No. i
is a man playing a sousaphone,
and the picture nearest the door
by which the visitor leaves is an
arrangement of bagpipes. The Royal
begins with the jolly spectacled head
of a man prepared to enjoy good
things, and ends with an open
gateway to bow you out. Compari¬
sons are never more odious than
between the two exhibitions. One
little difference we note is that the
size of the picture is, on the whole,
rather smaller in the Royal than in
the Salon. There is something which
dictates the proper size, within
Hmits, of the exhibition picture. It
is the size of the great bulk of the
pictures in these two exhibitions.
One feels that if they are very much
smaller or very much larger they
begin to lose interest. To the Royal
on Press day there came a lady
reporter, whose very first reporting
job it was, and who knew nothing
about photography. Her naive
reaction to the exhibition was shown
in her acclamation of an immense
commercial enlargement on the land¬
ing — a picture of a baby, measured
by yards — as the picture of the
show ! Which rather goes against
what we have just been saying.
Prohibitions.
The man who carries a camera
must have about him a constant
awareness of prohibitions, much as
a motorist has the traffic lights or the
policeman’s signal ever in his con¬
sciousness. The camera is a sus¬
pected instrument. The less the
authorities concerned know about
photography the more deeply sus¬
picious they grow. It is, of course,
not for the photographers under
interdict to challenge the opinion
of authority.
“ Theirs not to make reply.
Theirs not to reason why.”
Yet, in fact, they often wonder,
even supposing a photograph were
taken within a zone of prohibition,
what possible use, honest or ne¬
farious, could be made of it. Such
a photograph as any casual person
could obtain of, for example, the
exterior of an arsenal, is much less
likely to convey useful information
than an intelligent description by
someone who had seen it and had
afterwards made a few notes. It
is readily granted that there are
occasions when a photograph, ob¬
tained with some carefulness and
showing intricate detail, as of ma¬
chinery, may be useful to other
parties, but in general this sus¬
picion of photography is a vestige
of war psychology. It is the fear
of document. Things which are
merely said are forgotten. Things
which are written can be explained
away. But things which are photo¬
graphed are unimpeachable evidence,
or at least so think those who have
an exaggerated idea of the camera’s
capabilities. AH' the above is in¬
spired by two inconsequent news
paragraphs of the same date — one
that air passengers in Germany are
to be prohibited from taking photo¬
graphs while flying, and the other
that at a nudist conference near
London members will not be per¬
mitted to bring cameras.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Pyro- Ammonia for Slides.
Although I have succeeded in making some satisfactory warm-
tone slides, I cannot get the brilliance and transparency of some
exhibition slides I see front time to time. I am told that the
only way to obtain this quality is by using a developer with pyro
and ammonia in combination. If this is so, can you give me
a reliable formula ? B. L. [Northampton.)
It is not correct to say that pyro-ammonia is the only
developer that will give warm-tone slides of the highest quality,
as such slides can be, and are, produced with other developers.
At the same time pyro-ammonia is capable of giving excellent
results, with an image of fine grain, and the shadows rich
yet properly transparent.
What you must bear in mind is that the perfect slide is not
merely the result of a particular developer. Much depends on
the negative from which the slide is made ; on the character
of the lantern plate ; and on exposure and development being
“ correct ” within narrow limits, and properly adjusted to
each other.
We give a formula and a few hints, the information being
abridged from the article oh lantern slides in " The Dictionary
of Photography.” You should first make up three stock
solutions, which will keep very well separately, and from which
the working solution can be prepared just before use.
A. Pyro . . . . . . . . . . . . I oz.
Sodium sulphite . . . . . . . . 2 oz.
Citric acid . . . . . . . . . . 40 grs.
Water to . . . . . . . . . . 10 oz.
B. Ammonia (.880) . . . . . . . . . . i oz.
Water to .. .. .. .. ..10 oz.
C. Ammonium bromide . . . . . . . . i oz.
Water to . . . . . . . . . . 10 oz.
Various working solutions can be used, but it is advisable to
keep to one only at first, until its working is understood, ex¬
posures noted, and the tone given on different plates studied.
Such a solution, giving tones round about warm black, is
A, 30 ; B, 60 ; and C, 30 minims per ounce of water. With
this, development at about 65° Fahr. will range from two to
three minutes, and exposure should be adjusted so that the
development time is within these limits.
Warmer tones are secured by increasing the amount of C
solution, without varying the other quantities. This should
not be done at random, but to a definite quantity ; and a fur¬
ther series of experiments must then be undertaken to arrive
at data for the necessary increase in exposure, and the longer
development time. As variations in colour give more or less
deceptive visual densities to the slide, it is advisable not to
rely only on inspection, but to work by time and temperature,
or by the factorial system. The latter is, for several reasons,
more satisfactory here than in the case of negative-making.
Another point to note is that slides made in this way can be
judged properly only by actual projection ; the appearance in
the hand may be very misleading. Tones that are beyond a
certain warmth are seldom satisfactory, and care should
therefore be taken not to go too far in the direction of further
restraining the developer, and unduly increasing exposure and
development time.
An acid fixing bath should be used, a'nd the slide should on
no account be exposed to actinic light till fixation is complete
and the slide has been well rinsed.

ta 6 CIHEMATOQRAPHER a
‘‘Seeing^^ the Big Exhibitions
The first thing that strikes the
tyro on his first visit to the
“ Salon ” and “ Royal ” is
the remarkably , fine technical
quality of the work shown. This is
inclined to depress the beginner,
making him feel inclined to scrap all
his own efforts and give up the
craft. It should be remembered,
however, that aU the exhibitors
represented at these great shows were
once in a similar position, and pro¬
bably experienced the same sensa¬
tions, so let the new-comer take heart.
To the visitor with unlimited time,
the tour of the exhibitions can be
done more or less haphazardly, with
a pause at will before those examples
which most specially appeal. Quite
a large number of visitors will, how¬
ever, have only a very limited
period at their disposal, and it be¬
hoves them to use some kind of
system for viewing the exhibits in
the most beneficial manner.
The Salon.
Let us take the Salon first. It is
easy of access, adjoining, as it does,
Trafalgar Square, which is a con¬
venient spot to reach from any of
the great London termini, or, indeed,
from any suburb.
A catalogue is obtained at the
office on the stairs, and the first
tendency is to open this list at once.
A better idea is to go round the
waUs casually first, before consulting
the catalogue, viewing the pictures
with what might be called a grouping
idea.
Pick out those pictures all the
work of one artist, and see how his
individuality stands out in that
particular sphere. It is surprisingly
easy for even a novice to group
pictures together in this manner.
The fact of the Salon exhibition
being housed in one large apartment
also makes this idea easy of accom¬
plishment.
Now open your list and go steadily
round, spending as much time as
possible over each work. It is
amazing how soon one picks out the
kind of work that makes a special
appeal. Having found a favourite
type of subject or mode \of expression,
here is the place to pause. Sit down
and look at it leisurely, and find
Visitors to the London Salon
and the Royal Photographic
Society’s Exhibitions, which
are now open, must view the
exhibits with varied feelings,
and the casual visitor is usually
surfeited with such a large
assortment of subjects and
treatments that he does not
actually “ see ” the exhibition
in the most beneficial manner.
A little attention to details, as
indicated in the following
article, may make quite a lot
of difference in this respect.
out what there is about it which is
so much different from the ordinary
photographs which grace your own
albums.
So-caUed “ stunt " pictures will
be found on the walls, and should
by no means be ignored, even though
that type of work is abhorrent to
some visitors. Every such picture
has a tale to tell in the disposal of
its masses, the line of its curves, the
splashes of its light, and it is for
these reasons that they are selected
by the Committee for a place on
the walls.
Prints are made by various pro¬
cesses, and the worker who is used
to only one kind of printing medium
will have an opportunity of judging
the advantages or otherwise of other
processes shown. The mounting
should also be observed.
The “ Royal.”
While the Salon is concerned only
with pictorial work, the R.P.S.
has other varied phases of the craft,
and the visitor to RusseU Square
will find the array there rather
bewildering. If he has just come
from the Salon, it is quite a good
plan to go round one of the depart¬
ments other than the pictorial one,
so as not to be too surfeited by the
array of pictorial excellence.
The transparency section is a
splendid place to start at in this
connection, and as it is housed in
the studio on the ground floor it
does not entail travelling through
other rooms to get to it.
Note should be taken of the tones
of the lantern slides shown. Here
the finest gradations in tones are
shown on perfectly-made shdes by
famous slide-makers, and here the
would-be slide-maker can get an
excellent idea of what the appear¬
ance of his slide must be before it is
entered in the annual shde com¬
petition of this journal.
Trade and Technical Exhibits.
Trade exhibits are fairly numer¬
ous also, and the visitor has an
opportunity of seeing what excellent
results are obtainable on the various
materials abounding when the work
■ is done b}^ expert manipulators.
The array of apparatus will also
delight the enthusiast.
A smaller number of people,
probably, will be interested in the
natural-history subjects and X-ray
photographs, but they should not
be missed, as they give an excellent
indication of the assistance photo¬
graphy has been to science, and, as
such, help the amateur to feel that
the hobby he is pursuing is not just
a playtime occupation. Infra-red
photographs will interest most ama¬
teurs, and although the process is
by no means an amateur’s pastime,
the results the experts produce
cannot fail to interest.
It is well to finish the roimd of this
exhibition with the pictorial section,
and the method applied at the
Salon may be equally effective
here. The visitor is able to leave
the exhibition with two or three
prints stamped in his memory, as
examples to follow in his own work.
Lessons to Learn.
Two important points must be
stressed in closing. Spend as much
time as possible at both exhibitions,
and do not try to rush them in a
brief interval. Go with an unbiased
mind, prepared to learn from the
exhibits, whether they please your
fancy or not.
Even if the visitor is not himself
an exhibitor he can make useful
mental comparison of his best prints
with the work seen. Are they of
equal quahty, colour, etc., and do
they appeal in the way that a good
piece of technical work always does
appeal to the keen photographer ?
If not, the reason should be sought
for and the fault remedied.

ta 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
Border
Most photographs are improved by being printed with
a neat margin. D. & P. firms are well aware of
this, and tnrn out their prints with a white edge,
obtained by masking. These white edges do not suit eveiy
picture, and many subjects look better when “ framed ”
in a darker border.
Such dark borders may be produced quite simply on both
contact prints and enlargements. The only requirements
are a piece of glass a little larger than the prints and some
opaque paper. For contact prints use a spare glass which
fits the printing-frame. The opaque paper may be some
of the black wrapping used for gaslight or bromide
paper.
Take a piece of the paper and cut it accurately and
cleanly to the exact size of the space yon wish the picture
to occupy. This space should be small enough to leave
a quarter-inch margin when laid on a piece of the printing
paper. Paste the black paper on to the glass, taking care
to wipe away any surplus paste at the edges of the
paper.
If a piece of printing paper is now placed behind this
black “ disc ” in a safe light, and then exposed to the
printing light, only the uncovered margins will be affected.
For contact prints this exposure to light may be done in
the usual printing-frame. For enlargements, the bromide
paper is laid face upwards on a table, the glass and disc
placed over it, and the exposure made by switching on
white light for a few seconds. The glass and bromide
paper should be kept in even contact by pressure in the
middle.

Your Prints
By DONALD G. SHELDON.
If the opaque disc is in contact with the printing paper,
the resulting border will have a sharp edge. Sometimes a
slightly diffused margin is preferred ; in this case the
border is printed with the glass interposed between the
two papers. Examples of both kinds of margin are shown
here.
Having printed the border, the next step is to print or
“A Call from the Gang.” Printed with diffused border.
enlarge the picture on to the paper in the usual way. With
development papers, the dark edge will appear along with
the picture in the developing dish. With printing-out
papers it is already visible when the paper is removed from
behind the opaque disc.
hen the print has passed through its various stages
and is ready for finishing off, the dark border should be
trimmed to a width to suit the print. In some cases the
merest suggestion of a margin is all that is required.
dark border is particularly effective for portraits with
plain backgrounds, and for views in which lines tend to
run out of the picture.” Since the discs of opaque paper
are easily cut to any shape or size, it is very little extra
trouble to ‘‘ frame ” such pictures in this way, and this
trouble is well repaid by the improvement in the resulting
print.

TOP LIGHTING
By D. SWAINE.
The Sunlit Lane.
From this it would seem wiser to be always on the
look-out for pictures and have one’s camera ready at
all hours of the day ; it is a mistaken idea to be deter¬
mined that at such an hour no good photographer
could possibly work. For in both cases I had to snap
quickly ; my yacht came into view round a headland,
and the children passed into the lane suddenly from a
cottage garden.
IT is said that rules are only made to be broken ;
this can be applied to photographic rules on many
occasions, and the results will fully justify the
proceeding. It is a sound dictum that a subject should
be lit from one side by a fairly low light, so as to bring
out modelling and give a long shadow. I am acquainted
with one photographer who never thinks of making
outdoor exposures in summer between 10.30 a.m. and
4.30 p.m. But in thus arbitrarily confining himself to
these morning and evening periods I am sure he misses
many promising pictures.
My two illustrations, which I think prove my point,
were taken about noon on a sunny day. The motif
Cutting the Sunshine.
in each is an effect of sunshine with a suitabl}’ balanced
composition to form a foil and setting. The effect in
each case is caused entirely by the extreme height of
the sun, and is quite different from that which would
be evident if the sun were lower in the heavens.
Surface-silvered Mirrors for Reflex Cameras
Finding it necessary about three
years ago to replace the mirror in
my reflex camera, I rnade enquiries
at a large dealer’s, and was informed
that the cost would be about half a
guinea ; the mirror, of course, being
surface-silvered .
As this was more than I was prepared
to pay I decided to try to make one.
After silvering a piece of plain glass, I
found that I was unable to polish the
silver without removing part of it.
Eventually, after experimenting with
pieces of mirror of various kinds,
such as hand-bag mirrors, scraps of
plate glass, etc., I bought a piece from
the local glazier’s cut to the size
that I required, costing twopence-half-
penny.
This I treated in the following manner
and obtained an excellent surface-
silvered mirror :
By BENJAMIN ALLWRIGHT.
The mirror was immersed in methylated
spirit in a photographic dish and left
to soak for 10-15 minutes. By this time
practically all the backing had come off
leaving a bright, yellowish metallic
surface. Adhering particles were re¬
moved with a piece of cotton-wool with
gentle rubbing.
The surface was then carefully polished
by rubbing gently with cotton-wool
moistened with methylated spirit and
dipped in jewellers’ rouge.
The polishing, requiring ordinary care,
took only a few minutes, and the result
was a perfect silver-surfaced mirror.
This was then washed well in methylated
spirit and wiped with cotton-wool to
remove the rouge.
Finally, the surface should be coated
with a very thin solution of celluloid
in amyl acetate.
This is important. When I first made
255
a mirror I neglected to protect the
surface in any way, and in a few months
it became black and had to be replaced..
After trying various oil and spirit
varnishes I found that very thin celluloid
varnish was by far the best, and the
resultant mirror was hardly affected
by the thin film on its surface.
It should be noted that amongst the
pieces of mirror that I used for experi¬
mental purposes, in one or two cases the
backing would not loosen with methy¬
lated spirit, but came off quite readily
with benzene ; also, in one of these
instances after removing the backing
there was another yellow varnish-like
coating which I found came off easily
with methylated spirit.
Only in one case did I have a failure ;
I could not remove the undercoating of
varnish except by friction, and this
damaged the silver film.

Dinner-time .
Farms and farm life have always an appeal as
subjects for the amateur photographer. The
live-stock and architecture of the farmstead,
and the men at work, offer all-the-year-round
possibilities, so that a visit at any time will yield inter¬
esting pictures. The present time is as good as any
other period of the year for securing typical pictures
of farm life. High-speed exposures are rarely neces¬
sary, therefore any simple camera worked intelligently
within its capabilities is adequate for most farming
subjects.
As the later autumn days approach, however, the light
becomes poorer in actinic quality, and in the afternoon is
distinctly yellow in character. For this reason panchro¬
matic films or plates should be used, and preferably of

Assuming we want pictures — or at any rate well-
arranged mementoes — flat lighting must be avoided, the
background must show ^ _

absorbing it, and the
composition should be as

DIFFICULT VIEWPOINTS.— II.

LESS ADVANCED 1
WORKER j
As I was saying last week, there are
many buildings, like St. Paul’s
" Cathedral, of which it is impossible
to get the most satisfactory photographic
view. Obstructions make it out of the
question. It is the same with other subjects
besides buildings. Many a landscape would
be ideal from a certain position, but that
position is unattainable ; or a view would
be perfect, but for some obstruction or'
disfigurement which mars the whole tiring.
Perhaps we shall come to regard electric
pylons scattered about an open landscape
with as much indifference as if they were
sheep or daisies ; and we may even in time
sink as low as those Americans who consider
thej^ have vastly improved an imposing
cliff by carving it into the semblance of
some vulgar dollar-hoarder. Even as it is,
we cannot but notice how increasingly
difficult it is becoming for us to find a
viewpoint from which the subject we wish
to record can be shown at its best. The only thing we
can do is to try our utmost to find such a spot if by
any chance it exists.
Some time back I showed some photographs of the
demolition of a London building, and told how a be¬
loved demolisher shot a ton or so of dust and masonry
over me and my Sibyl. On the site sprang
up Unilever House, seen in the two prints
here. In my opinion it is an impressive
and beautiful building, and is not difficult
to photograph from several positions. One
of the best aspects of it is from a window on
the other side of the river, high enough up
to dodge intervening buildings and advertise¬
ments. But it is not high enough to dodge
a beast of a factory chimney — a “ stalk,” as
it is pleasantly called in the North.
So I proceeded to spy out the land ;
and leading from a side street I discovered
a narrow alley-way which led right to the
water’s edge ; and there was a wooden bar
to prevent my faUing into the river, and to
serve as a convenient support for my camera.
It was just the viewpoint I wanted.
Here I would ask you to notice the differ¬
ences between Fig. I (above) and Fig. 2. They
were taken from the same spot ; there was no
room to dodge about, the alley being only
about a yard wide. The main difference
14
258
September 19th, 1934
between the two renderings is due to a slight swing of
the camera, and this is a most important point to bear
in mind. Viewpoint is not only a question of the actual
stance, but of the direction in which the lens is pointed.
Even a slight movement one way or the other will often
make a vast difference in the composition.
In Fig. I two buildings are shown side by side. If it
was necessary that the record should include the two
buildings, well and good ; but it undoubtedly leads to
division of interest, and in many kinds of pictorial work
this would be fatal. In Fig. 2 the one building is
dominant, and the fact is disclosed that the building is
close to one end of Blackfriars Bridge. Of the two I
much prefer this.
Then, again, this viewpoint being about right on
general grounds, there was the opportunity of waiting
for passing craft, which came along at intervals. I
should have liked something a bit nearer, but conditions
ih( amateur PHOTOORAPHER
ts 6 CIUEMATOORAPHER o
were not favourable, so I had to make the best of
what offered.
And another important thing — the lighting. The
viewpoint found may be the best for the aspect and
arrangement of the subject, but not the best for the
lighting, except at certain times. Taking this one building,
for example, there is part of the day during which the
sun shines full on the sweeping front, which is then too
uniformly white. Later on the light falls as shown in
the photographs ; and still later the whole front is in
shadow.
So that there is a good deal to be done and thought
of in getting the best viewpoint. The everyday subjects
to which I have referred are unimportant ; it is the
general ideas that must be borne in mind, for these
apply to a greater or less extent to practically every
photographic subject with which we may deal.

WHEN the negative of this
print was developed and I
saw the figure in the back¬
ground, it seemed impossible that
I could have had no knowledge of
what was passing in the background
when I made the exposure, but it
was so.
My model was contentedly dropping
handfuls of sand into the pool, and
so absorbed did I become in watching,
ready to snap at the right moment,
that I became oblivious to near-by
happenings. This occurred some years
ago, and it is unlikely ever to happen
again, because from this I learnt a
valuable lesson. It is one that every
beginner in photography, particularly
when taking snapshots, should remem¬
ber on every occasion — always watch
the background.
When photographing on the seashore
or in the street I have drained myself
to keep one eye on the subject and
That it is unwise to rush im¬
petuously into action with a
camera when a good subject
is seen, has often been proved very
true. But while it certainly pays to
study the proposed picture from
different angles and wait for the
best moment, this waiting can be
overdone. The result is disastrous to
one’s peace of mind !
I want to put forward the plea that
photographers considering subjects
over which they have no control, should
release the shutter at the first possible
moment. If the composition is any¬
thing like suitable in the disposition
of its parts, take it. Should the

better to have the two than nothing.
Not long ago I had all ready for
taking a picture which was to include
a fine pair of white farm horses which
had been making regular turns up
and down a field, in a plough. I
almost took my photograph on one
turn, but decided to wait for the next,
which would bring them into a
perfect position. The next turn never
came ; instead, the team went off
to the farm, and I went away very
disconsolate.

compositions in the streets of small

the background. This is a useful
accomplishment, and should be learnt
by all who like to use their cameras
on subjects which include moving
figures in different planes.
A sharp look-out should also be
kept for buildings, telegraph poles,
lamp posts, trees, etc., that are in the
background, and rnay come in awkward
positions in relation to figures in the
foreground.
The subject should be visualised,
either directly or in the finder, as a
completed picture or print, and all
parts seen in relation to each other.
It is good training to do this on
every occasion, even if no exposures
are made. And notice must be taken
of the fact that we may be misled by

would have pleased me better than
nothing, for this is what can
happen.
I waited three years — ^perhaps thirty
visits — for appropriate foreground in¬

square ; last week my patience was
rewarded. A man with a horse and
cart passed from house to house as
refuse was collected. Excellent ! The
light was right, and my subject was
slow-moving or stationary. I would
snap at the next stop. Alas, this was
opposite the inn, and round the
corner swung a huge brewer’s lorry
to pull up where the horse and cart
should have been.

SCHOFIELD.
Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
IT is difficult to explain within the limits of a short
article how I make my exhibition pictures, as
in my opinion practically every subject demands
individual consideration and treatment. The only
thing I can do is to sum up the general principles on
which I work.
“ I always aim at keeping the composition of a picture
as simple as possible ; I strive at the best technique ;
and I endeavour to ensure that the picture shall tell
its own story. By the last, I mean that the various
parts of the picture should not only be linked together
in the composition, but they must also have some
definite connection in the imagination. Take, as a simple
example, the print, ‘ Down to the Sea,’ on this page.
This at a glance conjures up in the mind an affinity
between the steps in the foreground and the boats
.beyond, and the title emphasises this. The print on
the opposite page also tells its own simple story, and
the low key in which it is rendered helps to
strengthen the rather solemn character of the
subject as it presented itself.
“For this type of pictorial work it is necessary
to have a large-aperture lens, in order to get,
when required, a shallow depth of definition,
so that interest in any given portion of the
subject can be stimulated by its being in sharp
focus while the remaining portions are rendered
less obtrusive and insistent by a certain amount
of diffusion. For such effects, calling for critical
selective focussing, I find the reflex camera
without equal, and I consider that quarter-plate
negatives are the best size for serious work.
But as the bulkiness of this camera renders it
impracticable to carry it with me on all occasions,
I invariably carry in my hip pocket a miniature
camera loaded with ‘ Panatomic ’ film, so that
if I come across an unexpected picture I can
record it in a moment.
“ For my reflex camera I use Kodak super¬
sensitive panchromatic cut film, but usually
without a filter, as I find that aerial perspective
in landscapes is liable to be somewhat lost if a
light-filter is used. For my exhibition prints I
use Kodak Royal, Kovita or Kodapal.
“ The mounting and finishing of the print are
by no means the least important factors in
turning out satisfactory exhibition pictures. A
visit to any photographic exhibition will generally
reveal a certain number of otherwise first-rate
pictures simply ruined by bad mounting, careless
spotting, and so forth. I therefore finish all my
work as carefully and neatly as possible. I
also endeavour to select a simple and expressive
title that harmonises with the subject and en¬
hances its appeal.”

PICTURES of the WEEK
Some Critical Comments
Notwithstanding the fact
that No. I of the prints repro¬
duced on the opposite page
— “ Windswept,” by G. F. Brewitt — is
of excellent workmanship and exhibits
a fair idea of arrangement, it seems
somewhat disappointing if considered
in relation to its title. It suggests a
mood that is more characteristic of
quietude than of storm, which is
what its title implies.
Subject and Title.
In order that the title may be
sustained, the subject should, either
in mood or the disposition of the
subject material, convey a feeling of
the effect that is produced when a
wind exists.
Here, however, nothing of the sort
is suggested. It may even be the
case, in actual fact, that there was
quite an appreciable amount of wind
when the exposure was made ; but,
while it is not visible in itself, its
effect on the objects composing the
subject material — trees, shrubs and
clouds — could be seen, and something
of this effect should be conveyed in
the print.
This is by no means easy to accom¬
plish unless it is possible to include
something that is obviously under the
influence of wind, as, for example, a
figure with flowing garments, or unless
the lines of the subject are such as to
convey the impression that the objects
are similarly affected.
In the first case, the influence is
suggested by a departure from a
normal shape. That is to say, the
garments of such a figure, instead of
falling vertically as usual, would be
extended in the direction the wind was
blowing, and the degree of extension
would afford an indication of its
strength. In the alternative, a similar
impression must be suggested, and, to
enable this to be done, it is necessary to
have some idea of the influence of line.
Lines of Movement.
There are, of course, exceptions to
every rule, but, speaking generally,
horizontal or vertical lines alone, or a
combination of both, are static in the
impression they convey.
They suggest a sense of peace and
quietude or absence of movement,
whereas slanting lines convey a feeling
of action or motion. If, therefore,
a picture contains a preponderance of
horizontal or vertical lines, its mood
is quiet and peaceful, and, if a majority
are definitely on the slant, there is a
suggestion of movement.
The most pronounced lines in
" Windswept ” are those of the trees
in the foreground, and the horizontal
line where landscape meets sky.
Neither shows a sufficient departure
from the true vertical or level to do
other than provide a static impression.
The clouds, it is true, are of an in¬
clined direction, but their influence
is not strong enough to counter the
dominant impression of the tree and
horizon line. On this account, and
because the title implies movement,
subject and title are not concordant.
In certain parts of the country —
near the sea and in areas similarly
exposed — the force of the prevailing
wind causes isolated trees and small
collections of them to grow in a
twisted formation, and more or less
on the slant. With one of these as
the most prominent object ; a land¬
scape that shows a pronounced slope
against the sky, and the sky itself
with clouds of marked formation
having a definite departure from the
level or vertical, it might be possible
to make up a picture that would live
up to such a title as ” Windswept,”
assuming, of course, that such lines
are arranged to form a harmonious
composition.
Directional Impulse.
A picture so made up should not
only convey an impression of wind,
but an indication of the way it is
blowing, and, if it should be the
prevailing wind, little difficulty should
be experienced. If the line of sight
is across its path — as it must be to get
the tree or trees at the right angle — the
line assumed by the clouds will
incline upwards in more or less the
same direction as the trees.
The line of the uppermost edge of
the landscape might run in a counter
or the same direction. It would not
matter a great deal, for the dominant
lines of trees and sky would combine
to suggest what is known as a direc¬
tional impulse.
None of the examples shown on the
265
opposite page this week gives an idea
of the sort of thing that is in mind,
but No. 4, ‘‘‘Heather Terrace,’ Try-
faen,” by A. R. Serrailtrer, pro\'ides
an instance of the unrestful tendency
imparted by the presence of a strong
sloping line.
Rest and Unrest.
Nevertheless, there is little sug¬
gestion of movement, principally be¬
cause the directional impulse of the
hillside is countered bj^ the opposing
tendency of the lines of the clouds
and that of the mountain.
Nor does it seem to be needed either
to satisfy any implications of the
title — which has none — or any essen¬
tial feature of the subject. On the
other hand, there is an indication in
the title of No. 2, “ A Quiet Back¬
water,” by W. G. Halliday, which is
amply sustained by the impression con¬
veyed by the print. The main lines
here are horizontal and the secondary
vertical. The feeling suggested, there¬
fore, is one of rest and peace, and the
direct opposite of the impression
conveyed by No. 4.
A similarly static suggestion is
imparted by Nos. 3 and 5, ‘‘ Evening,
Fountains Abbey,” by Miss F. Blythe,
and ‘‘The Way Across,” by H. N.
Russell.
In both these cases, the predominant
lines are horizontal, though, in the
latter, the feeling is to some extent
impaired by the sloping lines of the
prominent boughs.
Dignity and Height.
A preponderance of vertical lines,
such as is displayed in No. 6, ‘‘ Tropi¬
cal Palm,” by S. H. Kwa, in addition
to the static impression, has the
effect of suggesting dignity and height.
In this case, that effect is heightened
by the vertical shape of the picture
and by the fact that the line contains
the brightest light almost throughout
its length. The way this tone is
shown up against the darker sky is
very well managed indeed, and, in
point of fact, all the prints this week
which include the sky show an appre¬
ciation of the value of a proper tone
therein — in which respect a not in¬
considerable advance over the average
standard is attained. ‘‘ Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
(C
IN A CORNISH HARBOUR,” hy F. J. Mortimer.
IN its rendering of an aspect of
harbour life ; in its presentation
of a group of sea-gulls in their
natural haunts ; and in its fine
display of an effect of sunshine upon
their plumage, this picture is un¬
doubtedly attractive. It is also inter¬
esting, by the way, in the fact that
it is an enlargement from a negative
taken by one of the real miniature
cameras of to-day.
Exhibition Work.
The original, from which
the reproduction is taken, is
a 20X16 in. print from a
portion of a negative about
the size of a postage stamp,
and is on view at the exhibi¬
tion of the London Salon of
Photography, now open at
5a, Pall Mall East, London,
S.W.i.
Seen from a reasonable
viewing distance, there is
nothing from which the really
enormous degree of enlarge¬
ment could be inferred. There
is no suspicion of grain ; the
image is perfectly sharp, ex¬
cept, perhaps, where a slight
degree of movement in the
wings of the birds is just
perceptible ; and the tonal
rendering is in every way
equal to that which could be
obtained from a negative
many times the size. Tech¬
nically, the print is an achieve¬
ment, and it is also a tribute
to the efficiency and accuracy
of the instrument employed,
just as much as it is to the
skill and capacity of the
man behind it.
Possibly, the success which the
work achieves is partially attributable
to the fact that the subject is one of
a series of exposures made in rapid
succession, an expedient to which the
type of camera in use lends itself
admirably. In the case of a larger
instrument, changing is a much longer
operation, and, where a succession
of exposures can be made with
negligible loss of time, the chances
of securing a successful result are
appreciably increased.
The best of the series can be selected
at leisure, whereas, if the result is
dependent upon a single exposure, the
probability is that the scene at its
best will be missed and something
occur that will either involve a certain
amount of after-work or the inclusion
of something that would better be
avoided.
A Circular Composition.
Here, not only is there nothing
that can be dispensed with, but the
form the composition assumes — always
a difficult thing to control in subjects
of this character — is agreeable and
pleasing. It is circular in shape, and
suggested, by ' the imaginary line
formed by joining up the various
points provided by the birds at the
edge of the group. This formation is
indicated on the accompanying sketch
by dotted lines, and, as will be seen,
it has the effect of limiting the interest
to the area which is enclosed.
A certain measure of concentration
is so secured, but, while that is good
as far as it goes, it is scarcely sufficient
in itself to ensure the necessary ,
266
degree of unity. It is desirable that,
within that area, one point or series
of points should present a supreme
attraction, in order that the group may
seem finished and complete. Other¬
wise the interest would be dispersed
over too large a proportion of the
picture space and its attraction corres¬
pondingly impaired.
Such an unfortunate state of affairs
is obviated in this particular
instance, for the bird (i) is
definitely the principal point
of attraction. It has a not
inconsiderable power of
placing ; its position upon
the periphery' of the circle
enhances its importance, and
its significance is emphasised
by the fact that it forms as
bright a note as any other in
the whole thing. Its princi¬
pality is still further stressed
by the contrast of that
brightness against the dark —
the deepest tone in the pic¬
ture — of the hull of the nearer
of the two boats at the top.
It therefore serves its re¬
quired purpose in rounding
off the group ; in ensuring the
needful degree of unity in
the picture as a whole ; and,
because of its brilliance of
tone, it lends point and value
to the suggestion of an effect
of sunshine.
Depth and Perspective.
That, of course, provides
the pictorial motive, and the
picture itself shows how well
it is conveyed, nor is it such
as to need any further ex¬
planation.
It is self-evident and self-explana¬
tory, but, as it is possible that the
contention might be advanced that the
lines of the rigging which run across
the picture from the top towards the
bottom right might be regarded as
interfering with the full enjoyment of
the motive, it may be mentioned that
such an objection could not be sus¬
tained, for the lines in question enable
perspective to be suggested. The view¬
point was evidently selected carefully
and the lines retained deliberately.
They provide an illusion of relief,
which, in the original, is almost
stereoscopic in effect. “Mentor.”

The Clerical Side of Free-Lancing
By “ FLEETWING."
The clerical side of free-lance
Press photography is often
sadly neglected, due perhaps
to the excitement of seeing one’s
prints in the picture pages of the
newspapers, a thrill which I think
never fails to give pleasure, however
long one has been free-lancing.
Slipshod methods always lead to
confusion sooner or later, and a few
minutes’ work with the pen when
dispatching photographs to the editors
will not be wasted. Confusing accounts
are not kindly dealt with in newspaper
offices, and may result in financial
losses to the photographer if he relies
too much on his memory.
A book should be kept, and kept up-
to-date, ruled out and including the
following headings : “ Subject,”” Date
of dispatch,” " Name of paper, etc.,”
” Date published and page number,”
and, in the event of rejection, “Date
returned.” A column for “ Date
paid ” will prove of use.
These headings will enable the
photographer to make out his accounts
correctly and without loss of time.
They will also assist in searching the
papers for possible reproductions when
several photographs have been issued
all round.
Photographs which have been pub¬
lished should be cut from the news¬
papers and retained. A good idea,
which I have always found useful,
is to paste the cuttings in an album.
Cheap photographic albums are ideal
for this purpose, and can be obtained
from the leading London stores for
about a shilling each, and large
enough to hold a considerable num¬
ber of cuttings.
Photographic paste of a well-known
make will not injure the newspaper
as a useful guide for reference. All
free-lances strike slack periods, when
nothing goes right and the postman
brings those neatly printed notes
commencing ” The Editor regrets,
etc.” A glance through the album
on which the photographs are printed.
The name and date of issue of the
newspaper should be typed or written
on or under the print.
Apart from keeping one’s results
neat and protected, this method, if
carried out systematically, will serve
gives the photographer confidence and
courage to go forward and repeat
those successes resulting in further
reproductions and remuneration.
The accompanying photograph
shows a few leaves from an album
and how it should be made up.

SKY FILTERS.
Sir, — I would endorse that portion of Mr. J. H. Barnett’s
letter in a recent issue of ‘‘ The A.P.” to the effect that anyone
who draws the paths of the light rays can see the effects of
the sky filter, but the paths must be correctly drawn.
I enclose herewith two elementary diagrams showing the
effect of a sky filter (a) behind the lens, and (b) an eq ual distance
in front of the lens at f/2 in Fig. r, and f/io in Fig. 2, from
which it can be seen : — ■
(a) For an object at infinity, the difference between the
two positions is negligible in practice.
(b) At f/io the uppermost part of the object is completely
corrected and the lowest part completely uncorrected.
(c) At ijz the upper part is more corrected than the lower
part.
(d) With the filter behind the lens, a “ hard line” separation
between corrected and non-corrected portions is obtained only
when the filter is in the focal plane, and this is not desirable.
(e) The ratios to be taken into account involve separation of
lens and filter, focal length of lens, and aperture. The distance
of the sky being practically infinity, it cannot be, and need not
be, taken into account.
(f) For objects closer than the sky the ratio of correction
between upper and lower parts is slightly increased, but the
use of a sky filter for such objects is rarely necessary.
(g) For sky and near foreground, the proportion of correction
of the foreground is decreased by the coning of the rays, and
still more so by the smaller aperture required to give depth of
definition.
(h) The sky filter only operates as a complete filter of average
density when it coincides with the optical centre of the lens.
—Yours, etc., A. WHITTEN BROWN.
THE PERFECT CAMERA.
Sir, — Now that Ihagee ” Exakta ” reflex camera has
appeared with a great improvement in its shutter speeds,
i.e., from | to i/i,oooth sec., the ideal camera is nearly
approached. Thanks to Dallmeyer — they supply an f/1.9
Super Six lens. The camera with y.'j-cm. focal length and
f/i.g lens makes night snaps comparatively easy on S.S. pan.
film. There is also the Telephoto lens to suit it. It has
various finders, optical direct, wire-frame, and reflex, which
are a great advantage for all-round photography. But this,
camera, with all its facilities, is lacking one great thing, and
that is a plate-back. If this were to be introduced (of course,
it should be a revolving plate-back), I am sure not only more
amateurs (from more advanced downwards, including myself),
but also professionals, would go in for this type of camera. —
Y'ours, etc., T. V. KANNAN.
(India.)
Sir, — I have been interested in the correspondence re the
" perfect ” camera, and ultra-small cameras. The latter, with
their numerous gadgets and ingenious focussing arrangements,
appear to me quite unnecessary. The depth of focus is so
great in miniatures that focussing is practically foolproof.
Simplicity, size and cost is in my opinion the keynote to the
” perfect ” camera. I recently acquired one of the new Ensign
Selfix ” 20 ” cameras, with an excellent f/4.5 lens of 4-in.
focus, at 70s. It is all 1 could wish for really quick work,
ready in an instant, well designed and finished, and extremely
rigid. It compares favourably with foreign makes at a much
higher figure.
I have no interest in the Ensign makers, except that they
are British. My only desire is to pass on the opinion of a
photographer of thirty years’ experience. With best wishes. —
Yours, etc., IFOR B. EYNON.
DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — There is still room for a really foolproof roll-film tank,
notwithstanding the various new devices which are appearing
on the market.
The circular tank with apron is, to my mind, the best so far,
but the celluloid apron is fragile, and one can only eliminate
airbeds by vigorous tappings and violent movement for the
full ten or twenty minutes of development.
The circular tank with a spiral arrangement into which the
film has apparently to be pushed — in the dark — would be
excellent if it were not for the element of friction which effec¬
tively defeats all efforts to insinuate more than a foot of film
at most.
I incline towards a long “ tray ” to take the whole length of
film, and a light-tight and liquid-sealing cover.
The one difficulty to my mind would be the prevention of
the film from adhering to whatever “ mattress ” was employed
for the film to rest upon. Possibly a strip of perforated celluloid
would do — or some sort of gauze. The fewer parts the better.
It would be very interesting to have readers’ opinions on
the subject of tanks. — Yours, etc., L. LONGFIELD.
A MINIATURE CAMERA.
Sir, — From the way in which your correspondent. Miss
Minnie A. Chure, trails her skirt it is evident that I have not
fully explained my meaning. I charged the cine film minia¬
ture cameras with being too small, too heavy, too expensive,
and too diffipult to use.
My contention is, and I admit that it is based on theory only,
that the tendency towards the miniature is a natural one, that
if a really good camera, preferably with coupled range-finder,
were made for the vest-pocket size it would be as small, and
have nearly all the advantages of the cine film size with great
advantages in certainty in use. I admire the Leica and Contax
cameras immensely, and would buy one if I were convinced
that dhe size is not too small. But I am not, and I urge the
superior claim of the 16 on “ 120 ” film. — Yours, etc.,
R. E. DICKINSON.

Cinematography
Notes on Panchromatism and Cine Interiors
By S. E. L. M.
The behaviour of panchromatic emulsions is not constant for daylight and for artificial illuminants as
well. Notes on the various differences which may be experienced are contained in the article which follows.
OWING to their paramount suita¬
bility for almost any phase of
indoor cinematography, pan¬
chromatic, and especially super-speed
panchromatic, emulsions enjoy the
greatest measure of popular favour at
this time of the year. But they
require especial care in handling — or
results may be worse instead of better
than usual.
In the first place, there are several
exposure adjustments to be made.
When the lighting used is the ordinary
indoor illumination, for example, the}"
may be from two to live (or even
more) times as fast as they are to
daylight of the same intensity ; and
normally, of course, they are appreci¬
ably faster than the fastest makes of
non-panchromatic film.
And it ts in connection with these
things that the greater bulk of exposure
adjustments will have to be made.
and then after its removal, the lens
stop being altered actually during the
filming.)
It might be advisable here to men¬
tion the need for acquiring a reliable
type of meter where the present model
is apt to be influenced by the personal
equation or, indeed, by any factors,
apart from those immediately con¬
cerned with the light to be read.
Most meters of the photo-electric type
fall into this category ; and in view of
the many complications attendant on
pre.sent-day cinematography, I re¬
gard them as the only real solution
to the amateur’s exposure problems.
Filte rs.
The (]uestion of filters is one which
need not be included amongst these
complications, but it is one which
nevertheless has tremendous bearing
on the subject of filming cine in¬
teriors. First and foremost, let me
say that in practically every case it
-is extremely unwise to use the familiar
light filters at any time during interior
shooting. Their effect is at once to
cut down the exposure value of the
light employed — poor enough in a good
many of the more modest cases — and
to create a flatness of image that is
not at all required in the circumstances
concerned.
Readers anxious to remind me that
filters are occasionally used in some of
the well-equipped professional .studios
will appreciate this point better when I
say that the kind of light used in these
places approximates to da^dight much
Unrecognised Assistance. ^
Further adjustments will require
to be made through the presence of
helpful factors that are not at first
easily recognised . These include walls,
ceilings and other adjacent surfaces.
Such surfaces axe of far greater as¬
sistance than is generally realised,
and if properly employed they may
be made to reflect as much as thirty
per cent of the original light used.
In these circumstances, then, it can¬
not be marvelled that efficient reflectors
are quite legitimately regarded as a
further source of illumination.
Owing to the great variety of such
factors, and their immense influence
on panchromatic cinematography, it
is essential to take accurate meter
readings far more frequently than
would suffice in the Tase of exterior
work on ortho or even on panchroma¬
tic stock. (One instance is on record
where the measured exposure on an
interior dinner-table set was quite
upset by the moving of a Korean fold¬
ing screen used in the action itself.
In the retake, readings were carefully
taken, first with the screen in position.

more closely than does the light which
most of us are accustomed to using on
our own interior activities.
Nor should we forget that amateurs
and professionals alike sometimes make
use of orer-correction — on which occa¬
sions it would be permissible and even
necessary to make use of suitable filters.
The fact that light filters are not
recommended for interior filming need
not prevent the enthusiast from en¬
joying the fullest benefits of colour
correction, for even in the normal
course of events the light used does
not contain that super-abundance of
violet-blue which makes it necessary
to use a filter.
An even greater degree of correction
is possible where panchromatic car¬
bons are substituted for the more
orthodox variety in arc lighting — and
this without need for increasing the
number of arcs.
Apart from these considerations,
a high degree of colour correction is
possible through the use of green,
yellow and amber reflectors in con¬
junction with ordinary incandescent
lighting ; but in all cases panchromatic
stock must be used.
Write Family Scenarios Now R. H. ALDER.
The winter months are approach¬
ing ; summer films are all edited ;
Christmas decorations and snow
are still io come. The exposure meter
will soon show impossibly large aper¬
tures.
Genius like Chaplin “ shoots off the
cuff.” This is all very well when
there is a studio, hordes of staff, a
wealth of material and a lifetime of
experience. Such improvisation is
not for the amateur, who usually finds
that he never has ” the time, the
place, the loved one ” ayid the light
and the camera all together.
“Real” Life Stories.
Certainly one cannot invent arti¬
ficial stories beforehand— family scen¬
arios must be real. The baby on the
lawn is no creature of the imagination,
but a very stern reality. The scenarist
who tries to treat baby as a puppet is
in for a thin time, especially as mother
will be there.
There is, however, no need to
invent — the past provides a wealth of
stories. We live our lives over and over
again — one day is very like another —
our surroundings may alter, but we
ourselves go on unchanged.
To make a film entitled ‘‘ Saturday
Afternoon,” we can take outstanding
incidents from the Saturdays we have
spent and weld them, with due regard
to tension and climax, into one story.
Sooner or later the opportunity of
filming each of those incidents will
come again.
To preserve the air of reality shots
must be selected carefully, choosing
habitual actions. Whenever the
director tries literally to “ direct,”
camera consciousness steps in.
Often a family sequence starts with
a title such as ” During the afternoon
father, mother and Elsie took the dog
for a walk.” Then, follow medium
shots of a self-conscious family attiring
themselves, coming out of the door,
passing down the garden path and
out of the gate.
Habit is Natural.
Imagine by way of contrast, the
following : (i) Eade in on clock at 3.15 ;
(2) Angle shot of father leaning out
of window, shouting ; (3) Subtitle,
“ What about a walk ? ” ; (4) Short
closer shot of father at the window.
Then comes (5) Semi-close of Elsie
dancing with glee ; (6) Mid-shot of
mother putting sewing away ; (7)
Close-up of the dog, alert and ex¬
pectant ; (8) Close-up of Elsie’s hands,
hastily lacing boots.
Finally, (9) Semi-close of the dog,
pawing at the inside of the door until
it starts to open ; (10) Ground-level
shot, outside, of the door opening and
the passage of the dog followed by
three pairs of feet.
Every one of these actions — ex¬
cept, perhaps, father’s — is habitual and
therefore natural. The bulk of them
are in close-ups, because a friend is
remembered not as a whole, but as a
collection of individual mannerisms.
The function of medium shots in
family movies is merely to link to¬
gether the close-ups.
The shooting-script is fully detailed ;
from the very beginning the editing
must be kept in mind. All the inci¬
dentals are noted — their enormous
value for continuity may be learnt
from abstract and documentary films.
These httle shots must be seized
when they occur and therefore must
be clearly defined in the mind from
the beginning.
Something in Hand.
Don’t stop at one scenario ; it is
worth the effort to keep two or three
on the stocks. The shooting may be
spread over some months. In one
family it would be possible to shoot in
the course of a summer four distinct
scenarios such as “Wax Doll and
Golliwog,” " Tea Time,” ” Party
Dress,” and ” Picnic.”
The Brondesbury Cine Society are
holding a projection evening on the 5th
and 6th of October, at 8 p.m., at their
headquarters, 100, Chamberlayne Road,
Kensal Rise, N.W.io, and they invite
any amateur or club to come along and
criticise a new film they have made.
They will be glad to have their visitors’
opinions, and there will be no charge.
At the same time, they are officially
opening their new projection theatre
and studio. The club will welcome anyone
interested in amateur cinematography,
but as the number of seats is limited,
they ask readers of ” The A.P.” to
apply for free tickets immediately.
Application should be made to B. Ludin,

The Exhibition of Cinematography
o rganised by the Royal Photogpraphic
Society will be opened at the Society’s
House, 35, Russell Square, W.C.i, on
Tuesday, November 6th, and will remain
open until Friday, November 30th. As
previously mentioned in our reference to
this event, the display will comprise
apparatus, “ stills ” and films, and a
feature of the exhibition will be a
series of lectures on various aspects of
cinematography, with projections of
films. In conjunction with the exhibition,
a sub-standard film competition, for
films not previously submitted to com¬
petition, will be held, open to amateur
and professional workers alike. There
is a class for amateurs only, in which
entries will be limited to films not
exceeding 100 ft. i6-mm. silent, or its
equivalent in other sizes. Films accepted
by the judges will be shown during the
the period of the exhibition, and will
be awarded certificates. A plaque will
also be placed at the disposal of the
judges for the most meritorious film
submitted in each class. In the
meantime, readers of The Amateur
Photographer who wish to enter the
sub-standard film competition should
apply to the Secretary, Royal Photo¬
graphic Society, for a copy of the entry
form with rules. Entries must reach
the Royal Photographic Society on or
before October ist.
Owing to the success of the Midland
Salon of Photography, of which a notice
appeared in The Amateur Photographer
last week, the Director of the Nottingham
Castle Museum and Art Gallery has
requested that the exhibition closing
date be postponed for an additional
week. The exhibition will, therefore,
remain open until September 22nd.

l^EWS AND REVIEWS
Jl 1 ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
Again this year the Royal Photo¬
graphic Society have issued their annual
publication, “ The Year’s Photography.”
This contains over fifty pages of repro¬
ductions in photogravure of prints and
lantern slides from the Society’s Annual
Exhibition, which is now open at 35,
Russell Square, W.C.i. The reproduc¬
tions are admirably done, and give a
very good idea of the work in the
exhibition. It should be obtained by all
those who are unable to visit the show,
while those who do see it should secure
this attractive souvenir. .Articles by
H. B. T. Stanton, J. Dudley Johnston,
Ian M. Thompson and Edwin P. Jelley,
dealing with different sections of the
exhibition are also included. The price
of the book is 2S. 6d., and it can be
obtained through photographic dealers
or booksellers, or ordered from the
Royal Photographic Society at the
address given above.
The photographic classes at the
Cripplegate Institute, Golden Lane, E.C.,
will start for the winter session on
Wednesday, October 3rd, at 6.30 p.m.
Readers of The Amateur Photographer
who join these classes will find all facilities
available for helping them in their
practical work and technique. The sub¬
jects dealt with are comprehensive, and
the instruction is given by Mr. John H.
Gear. A special feature will be the use
of modern miniature cameras and
practical applications of the small
negative. Application to the Manager
of the Institute at the above address will
secure full particulars.
The army of Rolleiflex camera users
will be interested to hear that “ The
Rolleiflex Book ” is now available — a
translation by John L. Baring from the
German of Dr. Walther Muring. We
understand that in eighteen months
15,000 copies of the German edition have
been sold, and we shall not be surprised
to learn of an equally large sale in this
country. It is a complete and lucid
exposition of the camera, its manipula¬
tion and uses, and the illustrations are
exceptionally good. The continual re¬
ference to Scheiner speeds is rather
unfortunate, but this is a minor point in a
book, so packed with valuable informa¬
tion. Tire price of the volume is 6s.,
and if there is any difficulty in obtaining
it from Rolleiflex stockists, application
as to the nearest source of supply should
be made to the sole wholesale distributors,
Messrs. R. F. Hunter, Ltd., 51, Gray’s
Inn Road, London, W.C.i.
A new top focussing screen for reflex
cameras has just been put on the market
by the Thornton-Pickard Manufacturing
Co. Ltd., of Altrincham. This is a
patented invention and will be known
as the Stevens Screen, after the name of
the inventor, who has discovered that
a top ground-glass screen cut from a
plano-convex lens with the flat side
ground and placed downwards in the
place usually occupied by the ground
glass in the reflex camera gives a much
more brilliant image than the ordinary
flat ground glass. We have examined
one of these screens in a reflex camera,
and it is at once apparent that a
very considerable gain in the brilli¬
ance of the image occurs when using
the Stevens Screen. In addition, there
is a definite suggestion of magnifica¬
tion given by its construction which
adds appreciably to its utility. Messrs.
Thornton-Pickard are now able to
supply their most popular form of reflex
camera, namely, the 2^x3^ revolving
back model, with the Stevens Screen,
which can not only be fitted to reflex
cameras as they are purchased, but also
to practically any old model reflex
camera without any alteration being
made to the camera, the old screen being
simply lifted out and the new one fitted.
These screens are supplied as an extra
to the Thornton-Pickard revolving-back
reflex camera at the additional price of
2 IS., whether fitted to a new camera or
an old one.
We hear from the Regent Exhibition
(organising " Advertising of To-day and
To-morrow”), which was due to be held
at Bush House, Aldwych, that owing to
the heavy letting of space for the require¬
ments of the exhibition, the larger
premises of Borland Hall have been
secured, and this has meant postponing
trie date of the exhibition until Decem¬
ber i2th-22nd. The extra time at their
disposal will enable the organisation
to develop two new sections for the
exhibition, (i) original work by famous
creative individuals, and (2) important
advertising developrpents. Full par¬
ticulars of the exhibition are obtainable
from the Secretary, Regent Exhibition,
19, Buckingham Street, Adelphi, W.C.2.
At the Borough Polytechnic, Borough
Road, S.E.i, the new winter session is
just starting, and the classes devoted to
photography are again covering a very
wide range of subjects in practical and
theoretical work. 'The course on Mondays
gives an excellent training in the art of
portraiture and retouching the resulting
negatives, and the finishing of enlarge¬
ments — a most valuable course for those
desirous of taking up professional studio
work. The classes on Fridays instruct
in all branches of practical photography,
and are suited both to the beginner and
more advanced worker. Reduced fees
are available for those learning the '
business or under eighteen years of age.
The instructor at these classes is Mr.
Robert Coombs, to whom application
should be made, or to the Secretary at
the above address.

‘Deader^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, Tne Amateur Phoftisrap'.er
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, mus‘
gi\e the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibilitv for the safety of matter submitted tc him. but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelo^'e can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without Any condition staled, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
te the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the currerU issue.
(§) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or ’* Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or ’■ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but caimot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection ot those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon ^so, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut Irom the latest issui
to reacii the enquirer.
Securing Clouds.
Can you tell me why the clouds have not come
out in the enclosed negative ? The clouds were
dark and patchy, and I used a pan. him and a
four-times hlter. B. G. B. (Broadstairs.)
Judging from the negative we can
only conclude that it was over-exposed
for the clouds, and subsequently over¬
developed. It is not always possible
to secure clouds unless they are strongly
marked and of sufficient contrast, but
in nearly every case clouds are more or
less lost by too prolonged development.
It does not follow that panchromatic
film and a filter will help with all kinds
of skies. Much depends on the colour.
With shades of grey an ordinary plate
without a filter is quite capable of
rendering the clouds properly, given
suitable exposure and development.
Anastigmat.
What is the meaning.of the term anastigmat lens ?
N. S. S. (Forest Hill.)
In optics, astigmatism indicates the
inability of a lens to give sharp definition
of vertical and horizontal lines at the
same time, especially near the edges of
the circle of illumination. An anastig¬
mat lens has been corrected so as to
eliminate this defect.
Exposures.
Will you kindly give me the correct exposures
for Switzerland ? A. E. (Westcliff.)
The question you ask cannot be
answered in any useful way. Any given
exposure depends upon time of day and
year, the strength and colour of the
light, the character of the emulsion, the
stop used, and the kind of subject being
photographed. The only really reliable
guide is an exposure meter, intelligently
used according to the instructions. The
fundamental facts of exposure apply
everywhere, and are in no way affected
by the name of the country in which
the photography is being done.
Parallax.
What is meant by the term “ compensation for
parallax ” ? A. A. (Lyminster.)
The term you quote has several
meanings in different connections, but
we presume that you are referring to an
adjustment between the taking lens
and the finder lens in certain cameras.
There must always be a difference in
the amount of subject included by the
two different lenses, and this becomes
more marked with objects close to the
camera. To counteract this, as the
taking lens is racked out, the finder lens
is correspondingly tilted downwards, so
as practically to eliminate any difference
of view.
Enlarger Distances.
What are the measurements to enlarge from 2} x zf
to half-plate, from negative to lens and from lens
to paper ? F. W. G. (Stoke.)
We have frequently given the formula
for finding the distances for any definite
degree of enlargement, but this cannot
be done in your case, as no degree of
enlargement will make a square picture
fit a half-plate. You will have to decide
how much paper and film you are going
to sacrifice. In any case, you cannot
make an enlargement merely by measure¬
ments, as the final focussing has to be
done by observation. All such dis¬
tances, too, are affected by the focal
length of the lens, which you do not
state, although you mention the maker’s
name, which is immaterial.
Thin Negatives.
I used a fine-grain developer for some panchromatic
plates, but the negatives were thin and useless.
Uranium intensification has not improved them
much. As exposure was adequate is it possible
to bleach and redevelop them ?
J. R. (Shelley.)
As far as we can read between the
lines of your letter we should consider
that the development time was quite
insufficient for the particular plates you
were using, as you must remember that
different emulsions require different
development times to get the same
contrast. Before you can do anything
further you must remove the whole of
the uranium stain by washing the
negatives and placing them for a suffi¬
cient time in a bath of water to which
a little ammonia has been added.
You can then proceed to bleach and
redevelop in the manner described in
our beginners’ article in the issue of
August 22nd
Modifying Background.
If I have the enclosed print professionally en¬
larged would it be possible to tone down the
background ? F. J. H. (Greenwich.)
We do not know exactly what you
mean by toning down the background.
It might be lightened or darkened, or
something of each. In any case, any
treatment of the kind would have to be
handwork of a pretty highly skilled
nature, on negative, or print, or both.
Platinotype.
Where can 1 obtain paper for the platinotype
process ? Can you give me the name and address
of the manufacturers? J. L. C. (Spilsby.)
Any photographic dealer can supply
you with the paper to order. It is
made by the Platinotype Company, of
66, High Street, Penge, London, S.E.20,
who will no doubt supply you direct if
you wish.
Filters.
Is a sky filter or a colour filter best for taking
snapshots ? What is the price of one ?
D. H. B. (Peckham.)
It is not a question of one filter being
better or worse than the other. Taking
everything into account, however, we
should advise a filter of the same tint
all over, and we should also advise the
use of a rather pale one, which would not
increase the exposure more than about
twice with ordinary hlms. Otherwise
you will not be able to take snapshots
with it at all. You must consult a
dealer as to the price, as this varies
according to the quality and size of the
filter.
Setting Shutter.
In working a Compur shutter would setting it
between two marks give an intermediate speed ?
Is any damage done by altering the speed after
the shutter is set? E. H. G. (Cardiff.)
You should certainly not attempt to
set your shutter at intermediate speeds ;
the very construction of the sliutter
forbids this. We know of no reason,
however, why you should not alter the
speed after the shutter is set.
Stereoscopic Cameras.
Would you give me a list of stereoscopic cameras,
with the names of their makers ? H. B. (Bolton.)
We regret that we are unable to
compile a list of stereoscopic cameras,
especially as you do not even state the
size you require. There are so few
stereoscopic cameras made in proportion
to others that we should advise you to
decide what size you wish to use, and
then look out for one second-hand.
Most dealers in second-hand apparatus
have a choice to offer, and often at very
low prices.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

Speaks for itself ! ! !
BRITISH
MADE
There is no need to speak at length of the
exceptional qualities of the SOHO PRECISION
Camera. Read this extract from a letter re¬
cently addressed to the London Camera Exchange
Co., Ltd., by an advanced amateur photographer:
“You may remember you recently
supplied a Soho ‘Precision’ Camera
to me, this is worth its weight in
platinum, and is producing as good
results as I formerly obtained with a
half-plate triple extension camera.’’
We could ask for no better confirmation of our
claim that the SOHO PRECISION possesses all
the advantages of a FIELD CAMERA and is in
addition as MOBILE AS A POCKET CAMERA.
full details from SOHO LTD., 3, Soho Square, LONDON, W.1
The SOHO
PRECISION
PRICE: The price
of the Camera for
3^x2^ size picture,
including 3 first-
quafity double plate-holders,
but without lens, is £1 3: 10:0.
Leaflet with full specification
and particulars of a wide
range of lenses free on request.
British Made.
The
Vertical
Enlarger
has met a long standing demand for an
Enlarger which, with the simplicity
and certainty of Its automatic focussing,
combines the possibility of focussing
each picture to an individual choice.
The V.N. Enlarger Is therefore the ideal instrument for both the beginner
and the advanced worker. Extreme rigidity is ensured by its two steel
pillars supported by a strong stay, all being firmly clamped to the base.
The lamphouse is made of aluminium and specially designed to prevent
overheating even when a lamp of greater power than the 75-watt lamp
supplied is used. A first-cla^s F/4.5 lens Is fitted and throughout its
construction no point has been neglected which would contribute to Its
simplicity and efficiency.

p 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
Non-Stop Photography.
The “ all-the-year-round ” quali¬
ties of amateur photography have
never been more clearlj^ demonstrated
than at the present time. In the
past, the approach of autumn was
the signal for abandoning outdoor
camera work and packing up appara¬
tus until the following spring. There
were, of course, a few enthusiasts
who realised the beauties of autumn
and winter landscapes, and con¬
tinued the work to their own great
advantage. The chief reasons ad¬
vanced by the others for not con¬
tinuing photography in the open
were : rmsuitability of the light
during the darker months of the
year and the difficulties in making
hand-camera exposures. To-day all
that is changed ; the numbers of
amateurs who will continue to use
their cameras for autumn and winter
■snapshots have increased to an enor¬
mous extent. This is due partly to
the desire for picture-making that
has steadily grown year by year,
and partly to the great strides made
by manufacturers in the production
of high-speed sensitive material
and big-aperture lenses. With the
modern apparatus and hlms avail¬
able — and both within the reach of
every pocket — there is no excuse for
putting away the camera on the
score of the reduced quality of light.
Ultra-speed panchromatic film now
gives the amateur the same power
of making snapshots on the dullest
days of winter that was only pos¬
sible on the brightest summer days
in past years. Apart from the
usual indoor activities of the keen
amateur during the autumn and
winter we look for a notable con¬
tinuance of interest in outdoor
photography during the next few
months.
Our Annual Lantern-Slide
Competition.
Among the indoor activities that
attract the amateur photographer
during the autumn and winter
months the making of lantern slides
is claiming a steadily increasing
interest. A glance at the magnificent
display of slides at the Royal Photo¬
graphic Society’s exhibition will
convince everyone that better slides
are made to-day than at any previous
time. We know, too, that more
slides are being made, and although
not so many brands are advertised,
the lantern plates that are now being
manufactured in this country are the
finest in the world. “ The A.P.”
Annual Lantern-Slide Competition
is always a good test for the slide-
maker’s abilities, and on another
page in this issue will be found full
particulars of the competition for
this year. We hope that all our
readers who are making slides will
send in their best examples, as the
standard is a high one ; but any
slide that • reaches that standard
can be sure of inclusion in the prize
set that tours the country until the
following spring. The closing date,
October 31st, should not be over¬
looked. In the meantime. Secretaries
of Societies should apply for “ The
A.P.” Prize Slides without delay.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Filter with Ordinary Plate.
If I use one of the usual yellow filters on an ordinary {not
ortho) plate, will it he an advantage and improve the colour
values ? J . W, M. [Blackpool.)
For autumn photography out of doors, or with flower subjects
indoors, is it really necessary to use special plates and filters ?
If so, is there any simple method of improving results, or are
these matters beyond the comparative novice ?
F. F. G. [London.)
We are dealing -with these two questions together, as the
same fundamental principles apply in each case. The whole
question of specially sensitised material and the use therewith
of a ■wide and varied range of colour filters, is a highly technical
one ; but as it affects the amateur photographer in his ordinary
work the underlying facts may be simply stated and easily
understood.
An “ ordinary ” plate is most actively affected by ultra¬
violet, violet and blue light. It is slow to yellows, and blind
to reds. Daylight is rich in the very rays to which the ordinary
plate is most responsive, and to cut out a large proportion of
these rays by means of a yellow filter simply has the effect
of ‘‘ slowing down ” the plate. There is therefore no advantage
in using it, and no improvement in colour values would result.
With any orthochromatic emulsion the sensitivity is carried
into the yellow region, and with a panchromatic emulsion into
the red. Such plates or films will be affected by rays which
would have little or no effect on an ordinary plate with normal
exposures. At the same time both orthochromatic and pan¬
chromatic plates are disproportionately sensitive to ultra-violet
and blue, and a yellow filter serves the purpose of damping
down these rays, by complete or partial exclusion, while the
other rays are doing their work.
Let us consider an autumn landscape which includes a blue
sky and both yellow and red foliage, and imagine its rendering
on an ordinary, an orthochromatic and a panchromatic plate
respectively. All three plates will be over-sensitive to blue, and
without a filter the sky will be more or less over-exposed.
With a filter this exposure of the sky will be reduced in all
cases, but the ordinary plate will respond to neither yellow
nor red ; the orthochromatic to the yellow, but not the red ;
the panchromatic to both yellow and red.
It follows that the best method of treating the subject is
to use a panchromatic plate (or film) which will respond to all
the three colours, with a yellow filter which will prevent ex¬
cessive action of the blue. This is what is done, and must be
done, in the case of screen-plate colour processes, and the
accuracy of the resulting colours is proof of the soundness of
the procedure. With monochrome processes there is a cor¬
responding accuracy in the tone values by which the various
colours are represented.
When it comes to indoor flower photography the same prin¬
ciples apply, and could be exemplified by photographing to¬
gether blue, yellow and red blossoms, on the three classes of
plates, and with or without a yellow filter. But this holds
good only if daylight is used. With various artificial lights
different conditions arise, both in the exposure factor of a
given filter, and in the tone values resulting.
Taking typical ordinary, orthochromatic and panchromatic
emulsions, and a yellow filter of the order of the standard
Wratten K3, the factors for daylight have been given as 32,
12 and 4^ ; but with the same plates and filter with a clear
Mazda lamp, the factors are 3, 3 and ; and with a Cooper-
Hewitt lamp, 20, 32 and 5. That is to say, we must take into
account the constituent rays of the light itself ; the sensitivity
of the emulsion to these rays ; and the filtering effect of the
rays exercised by any given light filter. This is why, in the
colour processes referred to, it is necessary to have special
filters for lights of different character.

AUTUMN WORK
zvith the Camera
The finish of the brilliant days of summer is by no means
the end of the camera season, even for the amateur with
the cheapest apparatus, providing he will observe the
necessary precautions. In the following article some
suggestions for autumn work with the camera are given.
September 26th, 1934
For many photo¬
graphers the
autumn period
is one of the finest in
the whole year for
picture-making out of
doors. In the first
place the sun is
at its highest for
a very brief space of
time during the day,
with the consequence
that better shadow effects can be
obtained in brighter light than was
possible in summer evenings.
It must be remembered that good
shadows give the suggestion of
simlight to a picture, but care should
be taken that they possess detail, and
are not just patches of
clear glass or celluloid on
the negatives.
Scenes which were bril¬
liantly lighted in the height
of siunmer are now much
more softly lighted, and
an exposure in the autumn
on many town scenes which
were too hard in outline
under the glare of the
summer sun will often prove
well worth attempting again
at the present time.
One of the most impor¬
tant phases of autumn pho¬
tography, if not the most
important, is the appear¬
ance of wooded districts,
when the trees take on their
many-hued brilliance, and
the carpet of leaves below
cbvers up many an ugly spot which
would normally have marred the
composition.
Reds and golden browns predomi¬
nate in this class of picture-making ;
but a great deal of the beauty of the
scene will be lost if the use of
panchromatic material is not re¬
sorted to, with the accompaniment
of suitable filters.
This stipulation need not deter
the owner of modest apparatus.
Filters can be obtained at prices to
suit all pockets now, and while it
is always advisable in photography
to buy the best, a compromise may
be effected by purchasing the best
that can be afforded.
With regard to the man using
just a humble roll-film instrument,
he is no longer debarred from taking
part in this seasonal work, since
he can obtain fast panchromatic
roll films for the expenditure of a
few extra pence, and can develop
them in a daylight-loading tank, with¬
out even the need for desensitising.
The brown earth at this time of
the year makes a good setting for
farm operations, and the owner of a
large-aperture lens should try for
pictures of the birds following the
plough or other farm implement
round the fields.
Clouds are practically essential
to the success of this kind of picture
if any sky is included, and nowadays
these can be obtained by the use
of a medium filter, where the lens
aperture will allow of it, although
sometimes clouds are caught without
any filter at aU during the autumn
months, usually if the picture is
imder-exposed a little.
Careful development is very neces¬
sary with this class of subject, other¬
wise the cloud effects will be lost,
and hard, contrasty landscapes will
result. A short development is
preferable, yielding 'a thin Cbut
finely-graded negative.
th[ amateur PHOTOORAPHER
ta 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
The late holiday¬
maker at the coast need
not despair of obtain¬
ing good pictures, be¬
cause although he may
not get bathing belles
and the like, he wiU be
able to secure many
moods of nature quite
unknown to the sum¬
mer visitor to the sea¬
side. Wonderful sunsets
are to be seen on our south and west
coasts at this time of year, and
dramatic cloud effects are quite
easily obtainable, even with an or¬
dinary box camera if no close fore¬
ground subjects are included.
Perhaps one of the finest effects
of autumn is the mist in
the mornings, and many an
ugly outline can be softened
and turned into a present¬
able picture by taking ad¬
vantage of the atmospheric
haze. Filters should not
be used for these effects,
as they are inclined to cut
out tire mist altogether ;
nor should development be
taken too far.
One of the best flowers
of the year from a photo¬
graphic point of view is
the chrysanthemum, and
these abound in the
autumn. Wonderful blooms
can be photographed in¬
doors, or out of doors if
sheltered from the wind,
and the tyro looking for
fresh worlds to conquer will find
here a fascinating subject for his
camera. Side lighting, not too
strong, a small stop to give sharp
detail, and a full exposure to retain
aU tones, are the points to note
when photographing these flowers.
Care should be taken when out on
autumn days that moisture does not
collect on the lens or filter and spoil
the definition. The camera should
be carefully wiped also before it is
put away after an outing, as there
is much moisture in the air. Ex¬
posure should also be estimated
very carefully, using a meter when¬
ever possible. The light is beginning
to take on a red hue, especially in
the evening and very early morning,
and if pajichromatic material is
not being used this may lead to
disastrous under-exposure.

SOME AUTUMN SNAPS.

LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
. .
The other afternoon I spent a
couple of hours testing a new
camera, and as this is something
we all have to do at times I will
describe how 1 did it. Further, I had
the autumn season in my mind, and
a little farther back in the same mind
I had a vague idea of the coming
winter. The camera had a lens work¬
ing at f/2.9, and I was wondering
whether this would not be a useful
acquisition for use in the shorter and
duller days.
As it happened, the day of the test
was a sunny one. There was not the
hard glare of some summer days, but
a soft light with a suggestion of haze in
the distance. Such daj's are ideal for
many kinds of work, and now is the
time for us to take every possible
advantage of them. Skies, too, are
often attractive, and we ought to
retain them without much trouble,
even on ordinary film or orthochro-
matic plates, especially if we have a
lens that will work satisfactorily at
fairly large apertures, so that we can
use a light filter without making
exposures too long for ordinary
" snaps.”

The camera I was using takes six¬
teen exposures on the usual eight-
exposure 3^x24 film — a size which I
prefer to the smaller ones, as it leaves a
margin when the subject would other¬
wise be a tight fit. This camera was
a new one recently put on the
market, but it is not my business to
review it here. It has an f/2.9 Meyer
Trioplan lens in a delayed-action
Compur shutter, working to i /250th
of a second. Some of us cannot afford
an expensive small camera, but as
this costs only about six guineas
complete it gives some of us a hopeful
chance.
My first exposure was a failure.
Pressing the special release fitted to
the shutter I found that my finger
caught the moving lever of the shutter
as it went off. Fortunately I noticed
what had happened, or I might have
been puzzled by that first negative.
I repeated the exposure and the
second negative was a good one.
I then proceeded to put the camera
through its paces, using a variety of
stops, shutter speeds, and scale dis¬
tances. Fig. I was a special test for
the small direct finder, and I noted
carefully how the subject filled the
space in the finder ; it comes out very
376
accurately in the print. (Exposure

is of good quality, and would make a first-rate lantern
slide by contact, or, preferably, by slight enlargement.
(Exposure i/iooth of a second at f/8.)
The gilded beastie in Fig. 3 is on the South African
building at Charing Cross. The camera had to be pointed
up to get it, and I have not corrected the distortion,
although this could be easily done in enlarging. Here the
scale was set at twenty-fi\'e feet and the depth of definition
is considerable. The figure is dead sharp, and nothing in
the negative, near or far, is much out of focus. (Exposure
i/25th of a second at f/8.) I took another subject at
ten feet, and again found everything satisfactory.
In Fig. 4 there is the combination of sun and haze that
autumn days so often bring. As figures were moving
pretty quickly I put the shutter on to i/5oth of a
second and opened up the lens to f/5.6. As the scale was
left at fifty feet, the definition on all planes is good enough.
In fact, all the tests showed that the lens was reliable at
all apertures.
On another street subject which included a good deal of
lettering I got a result at f/2.9 which made me wonder
whether I had not verj- slightly impeded the shutter lever.
Fig. 5 was also taken at f/2.9, but my position was awk¬
ward, and there is slight camera movement, the exposure
being i/ioth of a second. It would not do to draw a
conclusion from a single result of the kind. I have not yet
had an opportunity of making further exposures at
F‘g- 5-
full aperture, but I have examined the image given
on ground glass, and I should say it will be perfectly
satisfactory.
Such a camera certainly increases our chances for good
autumn and winter work, , even under trying conditions ;
but even with simpler and cheaper cameras there is plenty
of opportunity for pictorial results for manj^ weeks to
come. It is just the time for keeping our camera busy.

a 6 ClhEMATOORAPHER o
ow to Make Good Gaslight
Autumn evenings are ideal for making prints from the * j
numerous negatives the keen amateur has amassed during the 'r ^
summer. When the cost of the professional print is com- g B I
pared with the cost of doing it oneself, it will be found that
many more can be made for the same amount of money. Provided the general principles
of the process are grasped and normal care is exercised, prints can be made which will
surpass in quality those made by D. & P. methods in shops.
By AL AST AIR ATKINSON.
VERY little apparatus is required
for making gaslight prints and,
therefore, little expense is elr-
tailed. A printing frame and a dish,
equal in size to the largest print that
will be made, and one or two half- or
whole-plate dishes for fixing and wash¬
ing will be required ; also a graduated
measure for liquids — a four-ounce coni¬
cal one will do. A pair of blunt-nosed
tweezers costing sixpence at the
chemist’s are useful for lifting prints
out of the developer. This prevents
transference of developer to places where
it is not wanted, and fosters clean work.
A threepenny packet of metol-quinol
developer and a packet of acid fixer
completes the list. Before commencing
work these should be dissolved in
water according to the instructions
supplied with them.
Choice of Paper.
Choose a gaslight paper by any
well-known maker. It is made with
a variety of surfaces, the most common
being glossy, velvet and matt. On
enquiry it will also be found that
each surface is coated with three
grades of emulsion, namely, contrasty,
medium and soft. The velvet surface
is the best to start with and a packet
of each grade should be purchased
right away ; no one grade will do
for every negative.
The packet of paper should be
opened well away from the light. A
very suitable printing light consists of
a pearl electric bulb of about 60
watts in a table lamp. If a cardboard
screen is erected, the paper packet
may be opened and the developing of
the print done in its shadow. When
the packet is opened the instructions
should be read carefully, but at the
same time it must be remembered
that printing lights and negatives vary
so much that these instructions can
only be very general indeed.
The glass negative is put into the
printing frame, film side upwards. If
it is a film negative, a piece of plain
glass should be fitted in the printing
frame first. This can be done by the
dealer who supplied it. The frame
holding the negative is then held
over a brightly illuminated sheet of
white paper. If the image appears
brilliant and strong the soft
grade of paper should be used ;
if it appears flat then the vigorous
grade should be chosen. Usually,
however, it is between those extremes,
and therefore it is well to try the
normal grade first. Should the result¬
ing print prove dull the vigorous
grade must be tried next, or, if the
print is too contrasty, the soft paper
will be satisfactory.
A piece of the paper to be used is
cut into strips. It should be remem¬
bered that all handling of the paper
must be done in shadow and never in
the direct rays of the lamp. The
mask for producing white borders is
next placed on the negative, a strip of
the paper placed face down on the film
and the back of the frame replaced.
The frame is covered with a card and
held before the printing light at a
distance of about one foot. The card
is pulled back, exposing about one-
quarter of the strip. At the end of,
say, four seconds it is pulled back
another equal distance, and so on.
In this case we would obtain a strip
with four portions exposed respectively
for 4, 8, 12 and 16 seconds.
Developing.
The strip is then plunged into the
developer waiting in the dish. The
dish is kept rocking so that the strip
may be developed evenly and airbells
avoided. When it has been in the
developer for the time recommended in
the instructions it is lifted out by
means of the tweezers, rinsed in cold
water, and dropped face down into
the fixer. It should be immediately
pushed under with a glass rod and
the dish rocked.
In half a minute or so the test-strip
may be examined in bright light.
The exposure which gives the most suit¬
able depth of tone should be chosen.
If nothing appears on the strip at
all, then the intervals used should be
increased to ten or fifteen seconds as
necessary. Now that the exposure
has been decided a full sheet may be
used in the frame and as good a
print as is possible obtained from
the negative.
This is easily done in practice,
provided that several important points
278
are kept in mind. First of all care
must be taken to see that the developer
is in the neighbourhood of 65 degrees
Fahr. If it is too cold it loses its
activity and its action is too slow,
while if it is too warm staining and
fogging take place. The development
time also should be adhered to closely.
It is a common mistake to expose
a print too long to the light and then,
when the image is seen to flash up,
to pull it out too soon in an endeavour
to save it. The resulting print will
be weak and of a poor colour.
Each paper requires a minimum
time in the developer so that the
finest black tones may be obtained,
and the maker’s time is always in
excess of this minimum.
On the other hand, if an attempt
is . made to force an under-exposed
print by prolonged development, it
will undoubtedly stain. About 45
seconds will prove correct at 65 degrees
Fahr. for most papers and developers ;
but these are things which must be
settled by experience.
The prints in the fixing bath should
be kept submerged. After about fifteen
minutes in fresh acid fixer they should
be transferred to a dish containing
clean cold water. Too long a stay in
the fi.xer may cause loss of quality.
Finishing the Prints.
.\fter all the printing has been done
the prints should be washed from one
to two hours. In the absence of
proper washers this is best done by
turning them over in a large dish and
rocking them gently. At intervals of
five to ten minutes all the water
should be poured off, fresh water
poured in, and the prints turned over
one by one to make sure that the
gelatine surface is e.xposed to the
fresh water. If this is done a dozen
times or so the prints will be free from
hypo and amenable to subsequent
treatment if necessary.
Prints are best dried by laying them
face downwards on a piece of w'ashed
muslin suspended on rollers or stretched
on a frame. They will dry almost flat
and will be free from " tear drops.”
The appearance may be further en¬
hanced by trimming the margins

A Further Note th” London Salon
Every year the visitor to the London Salon of
Photography has an opportunity of seeing and
studying a great variety of the best work
produced by well-known pictorial photograpliers in
other countries.
This year is no e.xception, but there is little doubt that
although the standard of these prints is remarkable, the
British workers have also put up a hne display. It
will be felt, however, that while there is no “ picture of
the year,” the general level attained is very high indeed
throughout the entire exhibition.
Almost any one of a big percentage of the exhibits
would have been hailed as an outstanding production
a few years ago. To-day, it is only one of many, all
equally good, but among all that attract attention
it is the wonderful technical quality that compels
admiration.
Here we have photography at its best, and applied
in a manner that confirms its personal possibilities.
We realise that it is a medium with definite char¬
acteristics, and when used by an artist as a means of
expression the result is indubitably a work of art.
To glance at the compositions of Ortiz Echague of
Madrid, the figure work of Pierre Adam of Paris, the
child groups of O. Ecclesia of Turin, the landscapes of
J. B. Eaton of Australia, the still-life studies by Dr. E. S.
Boon of Alassio, the character heads by M. F. Y. Coppens
of Holland, the figures by H. F. Kells of Canada, the
portrait work of Jan de Meyere of Stockholm, the
dainty nudes of A. F. Kales of Los Angeles, the bold
viewpoints of J. Vanderpant of Vancouver, the rich
figure treatment by Julian Smith of Melbourne, and
the unmistakable landscape technique of Leonard
Misonneof Belgium, to mention but a few of the pictures
from the thirty or more countries represented in the
Salon, we realise that they must be considered indi¬
vidual works of art.
We find, too, that national characteristics emerge in
the photographs from different countries. This is notably
so in the case of the Japanese workers both from Japan
and from America. The innate feeling for right design
that has distinguished the work of Japanese artists in the
past is manifested in the newer medium, and for many
years the prints by Japanese e.xhibitors have been a
feature of the Salon.
To-day, however, their influence has spread, and com¬
positions by other workers inspired by the earlier prints
by these artists with the camera appear on all sides.
We have already referred to the British work in a
previous note. In the meantime we commend the
Salon to the attention of every reader of “ The A.P.”
who wishes for a fine display of pictorial photography.
The show remains open daily from 10 to 6, until
October 6th, at the Galleries of the Royal Society of
Painters in Water Colours, 5a, Pall Mall East, London,
S.W.i (near Trafalgar Square).
At the R.P.S. Exhibition
A SECOND visit to the Royal Photographic Society’s
E.xhibition at 35, Russell Square will amply repay any
time spent on the scientific and technical exhibits.
In a previous notice we have referred to some of the exhibits
in these sections, and probably the visitor will have the greatest
interest in the variety of subjects shown in Room 4 on the
second floor.
Here are housed the astronomical, aerial and geological
photographs that are always a feature of the show, while the
sections devoted to photomicrographs and radiographs also
occupy considerable space. The Press and publicity section
is not so well supported, but a representation will be found in
the ^ame department. The out.standing exhibit in this collection
is among the astronomical photographs, where the very large
picture of the moon will claim immediate attention. According
to the description accompanying the print, when this picture
(which was made with the loo-in. telescope at Mount Wilson
Observatory) is viewed at a distance of 10 ft. the moon is seen
at an apparent distance of about 4,000 miles. The technical
quality of this print is remarkable, and it can be examined in
close detail.
Infra-red photography is exhibited in this room by A. L.
Cranch, and other technical applications of photography are
shown by G. R. Thomas, Harold E. Edgerton ; aerial photo¬
graphs by Aerofilms, Ltd., and Robert A. Smith and H. Fred¬
erick Low, have the usual fascination, and they have a high
degree of technical excellence. Radiographs are again a notable
feature, and some of the best are from the Research Laboratories
of the Eastman Kodak Co. at Rochester. Ilford, Ltd., also
show a number, and the Hood Medal, which was placed at the
disposal of the Council by Mr; Harold Hood as an award in
recognition of a meritorious performance in any branch of
photography, is awarded to George Aubourne Clarke |for his
series of meteorological photographs in this section.
Photomicrographs by F. Martin Duncan, W. Stephenson,
T. S. Beardsmore and Ranald Rigby will further interest the
visitor, while the collection is rounded off by a number of
attractive record photographs by workers whose names appear
in the pictorial section.
Another phase of the exhibition is the professional and trade
section, and in this the exhibits are scattered throughout the
building and appear in different rooms.
In the entrance hall are exhibits by J. H. Dallmeyer, Ltd.,
Kosmos Photographies, Ltd., The Autotype Co., Ltd., Kodak,
Ltd., Elliott & Sons, Ltd., and Ilford, Ltd. Messrs. Kodak, Ltd.,
occupy the library also with a pictorial exhibition and demon¬
strations of home movies and other specialities.
In the inner entrance hall appear Messrs. Gevaert, Ltd.
In Room 4 are exhibits by Finlay Colour, Ltd., and Ilford, Ltd.,
Ross, Ltd., and Soho, Ltd.
In Room i are Cameras, Ltd., Cinepro, Ltd., Cinex, Ltd.,
R. Gschoepf and K. Pokorny, with a new natural-colour
process, G. B. Equipments, Ltd., Pathescope, Ltd., William¬
son Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
In the studio are exhibits by Agfa, Ltd., also R. Gschoepf
and K. Pokorny. On the staircases are exhibits by Kodak, Ltd.,
Ilford, Ltd., Lascelles & Co., Ltd., and The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer .
In Room 3 there is to be seen an exhibit by A. O. Roth and
cilso one by Zeiss Ikon. In Room 5, the following firms are
represented : E. Leitz (London), Ltd., J. A. Sinclair & Co.,
Ltd., David Allan, Ensign, Ltd., Ross, Ltd., Zeiss Ikon, Ltd.
The exhibition remains open daily until October 6th, from
10 to 9, Tuesdays and Fridays excepted (lecture evenings),
when it is closed at 6 p.m.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE
IT is usually taken
for granted that
the production
of a perfect
negative will lead, ipso
facto, to the produc¬
tion of a perfect print,
and whilst this is no
doubt true enough in
the ordinary sense of
the words “ perfect
print,” it is not alto¬
gether true when applied to portraiture.
A successful portrait is something more than a perfect
print — it is a combination of perfection in negative and
print plus quality in presentation.
That is to say, however good a portrait negative is, a
straight print made from it will not necessarily produce the
most satisfactory result pictorially .
It is a curious thing, yet nevertheless true, that sitters to
an amateur photographer seldom adopt the best attitudes
for the purpose of securing a negative which can be printed
without some alteration being necessary to make the result
a success.
One of the reasons for this is, of course, the inability, or
rather the lack of skill, in the operator to secure a correct
pose. Another reason — and much more frequent with the
amateur — is the inability to obtain on his plate of film only
that portion of the figure which is wanted. The professional,
ith ,his experience, his long-focus lenses, and his studio
props,” can so arrange things that nothing extraneous
appears on his negative, with the result that a contact
print will produce,
without any man¬
ipulation, all that
is desired and no
more.
The amateur,
however, working in
his own — or some¬
one else’s — home,
and with only the
limited apparatus
he possesses. is
handicapped by all
manner of things.
His backgrounds
are improvised ;
his " studio ” fur¬
niture, whilst ap¬
pearing satisfac¬
tory, is not meant
for the job, and
does not photo¬
graph well ; his lens
is generally of too
short focus, and his
No. I. sitter, nine times

out of ten does not bother to ” make herself up.” (For
some reason the majority of home portraits seem to
be of ladies !) The result, although perfectly lighted and
exposed, is a print technically perfect, but including
all sorts of details which contribute to its failure as a
really good portrait, and is instantly branded as
” amateur,”
But the inclusion of unwanted detail is not the only
bugbear with which the amateur is faced ; he has to
contend with the stiff, wooden attitude which most
sitters, as I have previously mentioned, adopt. He has
not the knack of posing them correctly, so that the finished
portrait shows in all probability, besides unwanted
detail, a model who is leaning too far back, or whose
body is at some incongruous angle to the head.
These, then, are the chief faults in home portraiture, but
if the photographer possesses an enlarger, they are com¬
paratively easily corrected in the printing of the negative.
Dealing first with the question of unwanted detail, it
is obvious that the only way of eradicating this is by
enlarging that portion of the features which is required.
Many practical articles
appear from time to time
on the subject of home
portraiture under all
sorts of lighting condi¬
tions, and with details of
exposures and develop¬
ment, etc. It is not often,
however, that the pro¬
duction of the final por¬
trait picture receives the
same consideration. The
article on this page is,
therefore, to be welcomed
as dealing with a phase
of amateur portraiture of
considerable interest but
frequently overlooked.

and leaving the other off the paper. In
the case of a portrait which is otherwise
good — that is to say, a portrait in which
the sitter’s body, or shoulders, are
correctly placed — this is easy, necessita¬
ting j ust straightforward enlargement and
trimming.
It should be remembered when enlarg¬
ing that a portrait need be nothing more
than a head and the smallest portion of
shoulders. A hat, if the model is wearing
one, need never be shown in full, so long as
the portion left on the paper is sufficient
to give the correct suggestion of that hat.
Where the resulting negative is one in which there is un¬
wanted detail plus an awkwardly placed sitter, two tricks
have to be resorted to in order to obtain a satisfactory
finish. First, the unwanted material has to be cut out by
trimming, as already mentioned ; and secondly, the awkward
pose has, as far as possible, to be corrected in the printing.
This is really a very simple matter when enlarging, for all
that has to be done
i is to tilt the neg¬
ative until the de-
sired angle is
achieved.
Illustrations Nos.
3 to 6 show what
can be done by just
a slight tilting of
the negative. No. 5
is a typical pose
adopted by a sitter
being photographed
by an amateur — it
will be noticed that
the line from the
farther arm to the
top of the hat slopes
gently backward,
which is a decidedly
bad feature. Also
the sitter’s coat is
somewhat "dowdy, ’ ’
and the back of the
chair positively ugly.
By enlarging dras¬
tically, and tilting
the negative slightly, all these faults have been overcome,
and the resulting portrait is quite satisfactory.
No. I shows an extreme case, where everything, at first
glance, is wrong. Here a straightforward trimming away of
unwanted detail is absolutely impossible, because to eliminate
the back of the chair entirely would either mean chopping
the head off right at the neck or else bringing the back of
the head much too near the edge of the paper. Drastic
tilting of the negative had to be resorted to, therefore, with
the result shown in No. 2.
The easiest method of deciding where to trim, and at
what angle to place the remaining portion of the image
on the paper, is to use four strips of card, which are man¬
oeuvred about on a large, straight print. It is necessary,
of course, to form a rectangle at each movement of the
four pieces, and also to bear in mind the size and shape of
the enlargement to be ultimately made.

Mr.
JOHN LEE.
Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From uiformation communicated to our Special Representative.
TO reduce the making of an exhibition photograph
to a definite formula is obviously impossible.
The work should be created in the photographer’s
mind before he enters into any technicalities ; but given
the inherent feeling for beauty that should inspire every
creative photographer, it is then a matter of experience
and knowledge before he can produce his picture.
" To my mind there is one quality in a photograph
desirable before all else — spontaneity. Idrotography as a
‘ real ’ art needs an absolutely natural atmosphere, and
any photograph lacking in this respect fails in its purpose.
“ The poses of the subjects should be as simple as pos¬
sible, and I have always found that the most successful
pictures are those in which the models have more or less
posed themselves. At the same time, it is most important
to have gracefully posed figures, and I, personally, have
learned more of this subject by studying the ancient
Greek sculptors than by any other method.
" Lighting is one of the most fascinating subjects,
as it governs most of the tone values of a picture.
It is the little extra touch of lighting on the central
object of the photograph which focusses our atten¬
tion, and ‘ pulls ’ it away from the background, so
giving the photograph its whole meaning.. The
balance of the lighting is much more important
than the amount of light used, as it is possible by
carefully balancing your high-lights and shadows
to create a feeling of sunshine with quite a little
light ; always provided, of course, that your subject
allows you to expose long enough to get a good
negative.
“ Nature gives us the finest lessons in composition,
and if 3mu take, for instance, a group of trees, you
will hnd that they combine in some instinctive way
to give a feeling of balance that is utterly satisfying,
and which is most difficult to produce by artificial
means. I think this is because one can feel a unity,
a singleness of purpose, behind nature, that all but
the greatest artists try in vain to emulate ; and so,
unless one is a genius, one must keep the composition
as simple as possible, avoiding all ugly shapes and
over-elaboration in background, and taking care
that all lines in the picture tend to the single point
that one wishes to bring before the observers’ eye.
“ And finally, in the making, or rather in the
selecting of my exhibition prints I take into account
the breadth of appeal, remembering* that too high¬
brow a work is only appreciated by few. In the
special realm of commercial and advertising photo¬
graphy the appeal must be strong, and so must the
interest. There is no room for vagueness and
doubt, and the necessary glossy bromide print
imposes perfect technique on the author. It is
significant that commercial photography* has attained
the exhibition stage.”

ANY OLD CORNER
By REGINALD CHARLES.
The Toolshed.
The late Ward Muir showed us all
how to appreciate photography
for its own sake. As a dis¬
ciple of that worker T owe him a debt
of gratitude for pointing out so clearl}^
that a photograph can be beautiful as
a photograph, and not as an imita¬
tion of something else.
For that reason I find the keenest
possible pleasure in walking round the
house and garden at various times of
the day with a camera and tripod, and
allowing the lens to reproduce the
pictorial compositions to be found in
odd corners. Every reader of “ The
A.P.” in search of new subject matter
should try it.
It is a marvellously good tonic, and
also a splendid training for photo¬
graphic observation and technique.
Even the dustbin, in its natural
surroundings with a few old cans
and other “ junk,” can give me as
much satisfaction in photograph}- as
a view of Loch Katrine.
The majority of amateurs when
looking for suitable subjects naturally
endeavour to photograph something
which pleases them and incidentally
pleases their friends. In nine cases
out of ten the result is the “ picture
beautiful,” the prett}^ landscape or
the beautiful street scene. But what of
the dusty corners and rubbish dumps
that abound in ever}'one’s garden ?
A corner of the Greenhouse.
Waiting for the Dustman.
Pictures of subjects similar to those
which appear on this page can be made
out of most unpromising material,
and it is not generally necessary to
go A’er\' far afield to find it. That old
box in the toolshed containing the
gardening implements may look forlorn
at one time of the day and positively
fascinating at another.
Sufficient exposure should be given
to obtain detail in the shadows, and it
will be found necessary to stop down a
good deal when working at close range
to get all the planes as sharp as
possible. ■ Success with this type of
subject depends largely on perfect
technique.
Development must not be carried
too far as this will only tend to clog the
high-lights. If it is found that on
developing the negative an error in
exposure has been made, fresh at¬
tempts are easily made, for the subject
is always there.

Enlarging from a
''Difficult Negative
Every enthusiastic amateur at
some time in his career pro¬
duces a negative that appears
to be unprintable, or at least incapable
of gi' ing a properly graduated print
It generally happens that it is of a
subject that cannot be repeated.
Such a negati\'e has been in my
possession for many years. It is
a record of a particular scene, an
effect that delighted at the moment of
exposure. It was made on an ordinary
to reduce the negative with persulphate
with a view to equalising the contrasts ;
second, to make a new negative via
an over-exposed positive ; third, to
mask carefully during the exposure
of the enlargement.
Finally, on the score of expediency,
the third alternative was chosen.
A rapid, soft-printing bromide paper
was secured and test exposures made
for (i) the rocks, (2) the white foam.
The enlargement was to be 20x16,
Contact print from the original negative.
plate, panchromatic material not being
so good or so readily obtainable then
as at present.
At the time of taking, late on a
winter afternoon, a deceptive gleam
of sunlight gave a fictitious actinic
value to the light, and the exposure,
although correct for the rendering of
movement, was insufficient for the
plate as a whole. The result was
under-exposed and harsh in contrast.
The negative was put away and for¬
gotten.
It came to light again recently and
created anew the desire to make an
enlargement of that particular subject.
Three methods of dealing with the
harshness presented themselves. First,
and this from a portion of the 5X4
negative (2 X if) was approximately
ten diameters.
In a condenser enlarger, with the
lens set at f/6, the exposure for (i)
was 15 seconds, and for (2) five minutes.
To expose for the rocks left the foam
plain white paper ; to expose for the
foam rendered the rocks solid black.
The reproduction of a contact print
is shown on this page.
The enlargement was therefore made
as follows : A small hole (about the
size of a sixpence) was made in the
centre of a piece of dark card. With
the sheet of bromide paper in position
on the easel and the image focussed,
the yellow cap was removed and the
exposure for the foam was made
through the hole in the card. -This
was moved constantly so that the
dense portion of the negative only
receiv'ed the light.
The card was held fairly close to
the lens so that a light-area much
larger than the hole was projected,
but when the edges of the foam were
being treated the card was held
nearer the paper to get a smaller
light-area with a sharper outline.
It was realised that to obtain a
full live minutes’ exposure the treat¬
ment would have to be continued for
at least four times as long. This
was considered necessary because the
hole in the card acted as a vignette
for the light, and because the
whole image was not being exposed
at anv one time.
The exposure of the dense portion
was therefore continued for twenty
minutes, which proved about right,
and a full two minutes was given to
the sky. The card was then taken
away and the entire picture received
a final 15 seconds’ exposure, which
was the correct amount for the rocks.
Normal development gave a
perfectly exposed print. A reproduc¬
tion of the enlargement is given on
the opposite page.
The production of the finished print
from this negative conveys two lessons
which may be of value to the beginner.
First, assuming the subject itself has
some pictorial quality, no negative
(provided it is not hopelessly under
or over exposed) is so bad that it is
not possible to secure a passable print
from it. In the ordinary way, had
time permitted, the second alterna¬
tive mentioned at the beginning of
the article for treating this negative
would have been the best for the
purpose. The method adopted, while
resulting in a successful print, had
an element of guess-work that could
only be countered by experience.
The second lesson, and one that
has been stressed repeatedly on pre¬
vious occasions in these pages, is that
a part of the subject is frequently
greater than the whole. The selection
of a portion suitably enlarged will
often give a much finer and more
impressive composition than would
a print from the complete negative,
no matter how good it can be ren¬
dered technically. F. J. M.

Architectural interiors,
^ except for an occasional repre¬
sentation of a village church, do
not seem to attract the majority of
beginners in photography, and it is
but seldom that a subject of the class
c-f No. I, “Architectural Interior,’’ by
Miss W. Barraud, figures on the
opposite page.
A Technical Test.
The fact is not surprising, for, in
practically every case, an interior
calls for a time exposure of appreciable
duration. It may be a matter of a
few seconds ; may run into minutes ;
and, in some cases, into hours. A
subject of this nature cannot be
undertaken in the casual sort of way
that most outdoor scenes are at¬
tempted. It requires deliberation, and,
at least, some consideration for the
claims of arrangement.
Moreover, the employment of a
tripod is essential, and, speaking
generally, the last thing the beginner
of to-day wishes to do is to carry one.
It is too much trouble, but, if any¬
thing worth while in interior work is
to be obtained, trouble must be taken.
Sometimes, it is true, it may happen
that a solid support can be found on a
ledge or pew or something of the sort,
but that is only a remote possibility,
and, where it exists, the viewpoint
must necessarily be circumscribed. A
tripod does not impose any such
limitation, and, besides, has the
further advantage that the image
can be conveniently studied on the
focussing screen — a facility that cannot
always be enjoyed where a temporary
support is adopted.
Which was chosen in this instance
is impossible to say, although, if the
subject had been scrutinised with care,
it is probable that the viewpoint
would have been altered so as to
exclude the rail in the bottom left-
hand corner, and the table in the centre
would have been removed from the
field of view.
' Spaciousness and Light.
These, admittedly, are drawbacks in
a work that is otherwise very good in¬
deed in its class. There is a sense of
spaciousness and light, which gives the
print something in the nature of a
pictorial interest, . and technically —
a subject of this type is a test for
craftsmanship — the print is really
excellent.
A feeling of light and spaciousness,
but of a totally different kind, is to
be seen in No. 5, “ Storm Coming,” by
J. K. Hood, which is also of equally
attractive workmanship.
The subject is somewhat reminiscent
of a number of similar subjects which
were exhibited and reproduced on our
centre pages a year or so ago, but,
nevertheless, it is not hackneyed, for
most of them did not include the sky,
and the wave, in general, was more
continuous. There is therefore an
element of freshness in this impres¬
sion, and, for a beginner, the work is
exceptionally promising.
Its luminous quality is very pleasing,
but might be a little better brought
out if the tone along the top edge were
subdued a little, and that of the
tumbled water of the wave at the
base were also lowered. The pull of
these two areas, slight though it may
be, diminishes the attraction of the
light along the crest of the breaking
wave — where the main interest should
centre — and the suggested revision
tends to restrict their claim upon the
attention.
Accents in Opposition.
It will doubtless be observed that
accents in opposition are disclosed in
the posts on the right and the patch of
light along the horizon on the left.
These have the effect of emphasising
the importance of the wave as the
dominant attraction, and, whether
introduced intentionally or instinc¬
tively, form an excellent compositional
feature. Care and forethought seem
to have been exercised, and they are
repaid by the very high standard the
effort achieves.
None of the other examples, this
week, seems to attain the same level of
artistic and technical achievement,
but there is a suggestion of the value of
an effect of sunshine in No. 2, “ Morn¬
ing Sunshine,” by Soh Kee Thye,
which, however, is somewhat impaired
by a measure of overprinting and a
rather excessive contrast. The sub¬
ject itself has ap extreme range, but
this could have been countered either
by a reduction in the time of develop¬
293
ment of the negative or the substitu¬
tion of a softer grade of paper for that
employed in this instance. The light
of the sky and that on the water is so
brilliant that it detracts considerably
from the effect of the sunshine in the
foreground.
Design and Pattern.
That, of course, is where the chief
attraction should lie, but the lights
above introduce competitive notes
which prevent that attraction from
attaining the value it should.
If these competitive notes could be
avoided, the alternation of bars of
sunshine and shadow would make a
very effective pattern, and introduce a
suggestion of decorative design which
would emphatically enhance the pic¬
torial content.
In No. 4, “ Hazy Reflections,” by
Mrs. D. Lawrence, there is a like
suggestion of design arising from the
way in which the lines of the rigging
are contrasted against lines of oppo¬
sing direction in the verticals and
horizontals of the distance. Inso¬
much, the work has points that are
worthy of admiration, but the space
on the left is inclined to suggest a
sense of emptiness, and, perhaps, the
arrangement would be improved by
the removal of about five-eighths of an
inch from that side.
Pdisty Sunshine.
The feeling of sunlight through a
misty atmosphere is nicely conveyed,
and the same impression is also a
feature of No. 3, “ Last Man Ashore,”
by J. K. Deane.
Here, also, the effect is stressed by
the presence of very forceful darks in
the immediate foreground, and, though
the angle at which the boat and figure
are seen is not altogether fortunate,
the probability is that they had to
be taken at that particular moment
or the picture lost entirely.
As in the case of No. 2, however,
the rendering is inclined towards an
excessive contrast, the sky being re¬
grettably blank in tone and the darks
of the foreground too strong to enable
printing to be carried any farther. A
similar substitution of a softer, or less
contrasty, type of paper would en¬
hance the representation and is recom¬
mended. " Mentor.”

Some Notes on the Pictures reproduced in this issue.
Reference has previously been
made in these columns and else¬
where in this journal to the
current exhibitions of the London
Salon of Photography and the Royal
Photographic Society, and , we are
privileged to be able to reproduce four
examples this week — two from each
show. Both remain open a little
longer, till the 6th October, to be
precise, and any one of our readers
who happens to be in London during
the interim would be well advised to
pay a visit to both.
The Autumn Shows.
The former is held in the galleries
of the Royal Society of Painters in
Water Colours, 5a, Pall Mall East, and
the latter at 35, Russell Square.
One of the most pleasing of studies
of the nude that has been seen in
recent years is on view at the Salon,
and is entitled “ Dawn,” by G. L.
Hawkins (Catalogue No. 32). It is
a print in a high key, which is most
appropriate for such a dainty figure,
and its grace of form is enhanced in
no small measure by the delicate and
imaginative fancy disclosed in the
choice of the setting.
The figure is, by reason of its com¬
parative strength of tone, admirably
displayed against the lighter setting,
and the touch of brilliance on the
head and arms lends a pronounced
suggestion of relief. Besides stress¬
ing the separation of the figure from
the background, these light notes, in
conjunction with the dark note of
the head and the deeper shadows of
the underside of the arms, emphasise
its significance and enhance the im¬
portance already conferred by force of
placing and human interest.
The attraction of the figure as the
centre of interest is therefore rendered
supreme, but the imaginative touch
is to be seen in the inclusion of .the
sprays of fohage, which not only
diversify the setting but also introduce
a feehng of decorative design into the
arrangement, and further stress the
dominance of the figure by their
suggestion of the form of radiation.
Their dark tone, too, tends to accent
the delicacy of the setting, and the
whole thing seems to be imaginatively
conceived and finely executed. It
could be wished, perhaps, that the
bottom right-hand comer were not so
obviously out of focus, but the slight
defect is not very noticeable and
certainly does not impair the appeal
of the picture as a whole.
It is wonderfully well done. Every¬
thing — selection and arrangement of
subject material ; choice of key and
treatment ; and the incorporation of a
suggestion of pattern — is in keeping,
and the theme is admirably suited to
the key. An utter contrast in treat¬
ment is to be seen in “ Nach Der
Pause,” by J. Denkstein, which is
shown at the Royal (Catalogue No.
211). Here the key is sombre, and
the touches of real light tone few and
far between. The quaUty of the;
print is undoubtedly high, and the
subject, to those whose interest lies
in this sort of thing, quite attractive.
It is, however, of a domestic type,
and scarcely comparable, from the
aesthetic point of view, with its highly
imaginative predecessor. Nevertheless,
it is exceedingly good and attractive
in its class, and the rendering of the
texture of the cats’ coats as well as
the tones of the plate is exceptionally
well managed.
Duality of Interest.
A feature of the print is the excellent
way in which a suggestion of alertness
is conveyed, the pose and attitude of
both animals being instinct with life
and true to nature.
The difficulty of arrangement, where
two elements of nearly equal attraction
exist, is well known, particularly in
cases such as this, for, while one must
predominate, the dual interest must be
preserved, and neither can be allowed
to sink into insignificance. Here, that
difficulty has been ably surmounted,
the farther animal (i) claiming the
major share of the attention, but the
attraction of the other (2) is only a
little less, and it admirably plays its
part as the subsidiary member of the
group.
As far as the relative positions of
the two are concerned, there is not a
great deal of difference in respect of
strength of placing. Possibly No. i,
beiiig nearer the centre and having
the advantage of a little extra height,
is somewhat more forcefully placed
than the other, but the difference is
shght, and the required supremacy of
the first seems to be more attributable
to its depth of tone than anything
else. It is appreciably the heavier
of the two, and on this account seems
a degree or so the more important,
while not unduly overshadowing the
other. The precedence of the first is
established, but, with the second
exercising a proportionate pull, the
unity of the group is maintained.
The plate is a useful introduction,
for it both provides a connecting
link beHveen the two cats and furnishes
a base which seems to complete a
circular form of composition, the
remainder of the fine being suggested
by the markings of the nearer animal
and the positions assumed by their
two heads. The composition is well
designed and singularly complete.
In comparison with ” Geese,” by
E. Vadas, which also comes from
the Royal (Catalogue No. 170), the

simplicity of the former seems marked ;
although it must be admitted that,
great as is the number of the birds,
they are very well grouped and caught
at a most fortunate moment. The
effect of sunshine on their plumage is
nicely suggested, and the outstretched
wings and the dust thrown up by their
passage gives an idea of the turbulent
and clamorous character of these
birds.
Dignity and Impressiveness.
•The fact that the main line of the
group lies along a diagonal holds the
composition together quite well, and
the inclined line suggests movement
and action.
In the circumstances, this is pecu¬
liarly appropriate, and possibly the
conflict of interest between the begin¬
ning and end of the procession has

competitions, and the entries for August have
again sustained this high standard. This particularly
applies to the Advanced Workers’ section. The Inter¬

the increase in the number of entries in the Begiimers’

been introduced with the idea of
heightening that impression. The sug¬
gestion arises from the feeling that,
while the attraction of the nearest
lot of birds should be the strongest,
the sunshine on the dust at the top
makes so bright a note that interest
seems to be divided between the two.
Division of interest is by no means
the same thing as duality of interest,
for the first implies a dispersion of
attraction and the second unification,
and the wisdom of adopting such an
arrangement of the chiaroscuro does
seem open to question.
However, the subject is decidedly
original and provides an intriguing
experiment.
The qualities of dignity and impres¬
siveness, together with a very real
expression of artistic feeling, are
innate in F. J. Mortimer’s “ The
Cauldron,” which is one of the
outstanding successes at the Salon
(Catalogue No. 29).
The dark masses of rock at the base,
the elemental shapes of those on each
side, the depth of tone in the sky, and
the swift rush of the wave in the centre
to break in an immensity of foam,
supply an impression of the power of
the sea that is striking in its intensity.
It is extraordinarily powerful, and,
what is truly remarkable, its effect
does not rely upon any adventitious
aid in the shape of a departure from a
normal form of composition, but sim¬
ply upon the natural resources of the
scene and the choice of the precise
moment for making the exposure.
Without any question, the centre
of interest lies in the great splash of
foam stretching across the picture.
The attraction is localised in the bright
patch of light at (i), and the suggestion
of violent motion is highly stressed by
the employment of lines of a sloping
tendency. These are chiefly to be
seen in the upward impulse of the
wave from right to left and in the
backward slope of the foam from the
left rising towards the right. Their
inclination creates an impression of
motion as distinct from the static and
peaceful suggestion of horizontal or
vertical lines or a combination of
them, and the feeling of force and
power, in conjunction with the nature
of the scene, originates from them.
Another factor of moment' is the
simplicity of the arrangement. This
is apparent from the accompanying
small sketch, and the part it plays
can readily be seen. It enables the
message of the picture to be instantly
appreciated and its thrill to be
immediately understood.

I etters
to the Editor
The Editor is not responsible for
the opinions of his correspondents.
CAMERA PRICES.
Sir, — Assuming that camera prices are cheap and reasonable
(and I don’t agree that they are) what about the high prices
charged for the other essential items in picture-making, i.e.,
plates (particularly), films and paper ?
And can anybody explain and justify the ridiculously high
prices charged for such accessories as filter mounts, lens-hoods
and film-pack adapters ?
This aspect of the cost of photography is often lost sight of,
and conveniently so, by the manufacturers, who concentrate
on telling the public about the cheapness, etc., of their cameras.
The other essentials are rigidly controlled as to retail prices
by one of the tightest " rings ” in industry. — Yours, etc.
F. A. LIDDINGTON.
FOGGING ROLL FILMS.
Sir, — T have been interested in the discussion on the above
subject and should like to bring forward a point which does
not yet appear to have been grasped by those who have had
trouble, viz., that the backing paper is opaque to all colours
and therefore the light which fogs the film must get round the
edge of the hacking paper.
Some cameras seem to have been well designed and this edge
is properly light trapped ; but for the others. I would suggest
that they cut a ring of plush or velvet of black or any dark
colour, other than red, and glue it to the inside of the back of
the camera so that it encircles the red window, and then the
backing paper (or the pressure plate) will press against the
velvet and stop the light passing beyond that part of the
backing paper where the numbers are. The dimensions of the
ring will vary with different cameras, but the internal diameter
should be the same as the red window and the external as
much as possible up to one inch.
t.ksers of the “ Rollex ” roll-holder will find that any fogging
they get will not be due to the red window so much as to the
use of red plush as light traps in various places, and particularly
where the winding kev protrudes. If black plash is substituted
for this they should have no further trouble. — Yours, etc.,
VICTOR R. SHARP.
PLATES IN FILM CAMERAS.
Sir, — I am the possessor of a 3J X2]- loll-film camera, Imt I
quite often find that I want to take a photograph and to see
the result a few minutes after taking. For an occasion such as
this 1 keep handy a box of 3|- X2i plates, and I find that one
of these plates exactly fits on the groov'es over which the film
runs. So I take the camera into the dark-room and after
removing the back I place a plate on the grooves and then
replace the back. Care must be taken to block up the red
window beforehand with a piece of black paper.
I have shown this method to several of my friends, and it is
equally effective with any type or size of camera. — Yours, etc.,
H. A. WAINWRIGHT.
THE DECLINE OF STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY.
Sir, — In your issue of 5th September I notice an article
bearing the title " Stereo Photography with Single Lens
Cameras.”
The opening words of this article, " At a time when
stereo photography is definitely declining,” are significant,
and give food for thought and enquiry. The fact is that stereo
photography has never been as popular in Britain as in France
and Germany. The reason is not far to seek.
I believe I am correct in stating that no British manufacturer
has yet marketed a stereo camera in a popular size and with
correct lens separation, whereas the Continental cameras are
correct in this latter respect and their film manufacturers have
supplied the necessary sizes, at any rate in film packs. On the
other hand, the makers of these Continental cameras appear
to favour the changing-box system which has never been popu¬
lar in this country.
Again, the ordinary stereoscope, as sold in this country, is
fitted with lenses of unsuitable focal length for viewing contact
prints, whereas Continental manufacturers supply a stereoscope
to suit their cameras.
A camera I frequently use is a stereo roll film, 4^ X2^ in.,
taking a No. 116 film, a size which is procurable at any dealers.
It has correct lens separation, 63 mm. or 2| in. An ordinary
eight-exposure roll will yield eight stereo prints, each single
picture measuring about i|- in. in width by zi in. in height.
Nowadays I usually have them developed and printed in
the ordinary way by a dealer (at the usual prices for this size).
I merely trim the prints, transpose the two halves and mount
them, the mounts being ordinary " invitation cards,” which I
buy at 2s. per 100.
1 have two or three stereoscopes (price 2s. 6d. each), which
happen to be fitted with lenses of suitable focal length, and I
am able to entertain a number of friends simultaneously.
From the interest displayed in these prints I am certain that
very little effort would be needed to popularise this form of
photography.
Of course, ordinary enlargements can be made from either
half of the stereogram, just as with any other miniature camera.
It is not sufficiently realised that any lens separation will give
stereoscopic results, but only one separation {2.} in.) will give
the same effect that was seen by human eyes. — Yours, etc.,

USING AMATEUR CINE APPARATUS.
Cinematography
With the Cine Camera in Autumn
By B. H. BRAITHWAITE.
The coming of autumn brings un¬
rivalled scope in outdoor work
for the cinematographer. Land¬
scapes acquire beautiful tints, and
buildings take on a different hue, at
this period of the year.
The sun lacks its summer brilliance,
consequently foliage becomes deeper
in tone. Distant views appear hazy,
although near shots and close-ups
will not be unduly affected. Town
filming requires care in choosing the
best viewpoint of the subject in
relation to the available sunlight.
The sun’s rays will seem yellowish,
owing to its inability to penetrate
satisfactorily the smoky atmosphere
so prevalent in large cities. Even so,
unexpected detail will be brought out
in architecture.
Lighting Effects.
Perhaps the most effective lighting
is that which falls on the object to be
filmed from one side, giving long,
rich shadows, adding interest to the
most ordinary shot.
Should morning haze be persistent,
filming should be postponed until
later, when the sun, reaching its
highest point, will most probably
break through, revealing wonderful,
thin, colourful shadows.
In seascapes, although having the
advantage of the sun’s reflection from
the water for normal shots, the horizon
may be hidden in a persistent haze.
Gracefully moving shipping, filmed
against morning mist, will often make
a fine shot.
Successful autumn filming requires
care to enable correct exposures
being obtained. Actinic light values
are often visually misleading, especi¬
ally in the early morning and late
evening, when the shadows are long.
Heavy shadows must be allowed for to
enable correct rendering of the half¬
tones necessary for a successful posi¬
tive. Scenes which owe their charm
to colour alone may be deceptive
photographically and tend to become
disappointing when reduced to mono¬
chrome.
The use of panchromatic film, used
in conjunction with the appropriate
filters, is a distinct asset in outdoor
work in the late months of the year.
Truer colour renderings, so necessary
at this period, are possible by its use.
Red and orange colours do not film
too dark, grass and foliage appear in
more c(;rrect tone, and each scene
takes on an added sparkle.
Panchromatics.
When employing panchromatic film,
if use is made of the filter, it may be
necessary to set the lens stop to the
next higher opening than that to
which it would normally reejuire.
For instance, if the strength and
quality of the light indicates by the
exposure meter the use of f/8, then
set the diaphragm to f/5.6. Except¬
ing for this, panchromatic film is used
in exactly the same way as ordinary
film. In many cases, however, it will
be found that the filter is unnecessary
when pan. material is used. This
occurs when shots are made late in the
day and the light itself is yellow in
character. It is then that this film
scores both in the matter of speed and
colour rendering.
Giving increased naturalness over
orthochromatic, panchromatic film
renders tones more accurately, by
registering them in much the same
depth as the colours one sees.
Though the hours available for out¬
door filming become somewhat re¬
stricted owing to the evenings being
shorter, subjects which are definitely
enhanced by autumn lighting are
numerous and are excellent material
for the skilful amateur.
An antumn sky-line. This type of landscape provides a very attractive action subject
for the amateur cine-worker at this time of year.

Winter Sessions in Cine Studios LOVELL-BURGESS.
WINTER sessions are about to
begin in the amateur cine
studios, and secretaries are
busy planning programmes and
arranging talks.
The issue before many a club secre¬
tary this month lies between docu¬
mentary or story films. Some clubs
have already decided to work only on
documentary films this winter. Others
intend to specialise solely in story
production. Personally, I beheve
the best arrangement is to have
two units — more, if funds will allow
it— one devoted to interest films
and the other to film-play produc¬
tion.
It is true- that documentary films
offer a wide field to the cine amateur,
whether from a social, industrial,
scientific or educational angle. Every
town or village can provide subjects
in this direction. Here is a simple way
to discover a documentary subject.
Every town has its own “ atmo¬
sphere.” Bournemouth is vastly dif¬
ferent from, say, Birmingham. What
are the outstanding characteristics of
your town ? What was it that in
course of time developed those charac¬
teristics ? Your answer may be in
terms of modern or ancient history.
Your film may be a mining epic, an
island story, a rich pageant of eccle¬
siastical history. It may show the
building of a ship or of those dormi¬
tories that we call suburbs. Whatever
your subject it will be presented by
living men and women. It will be a
documentary film.
There are two ways of making a
documentary film. There is the news¬
reel type which faithfully reproduces
given objects, and there is the film
which, by means of angles, cutting
and editing, dramatises objects to
convey impressions. The only thing
forbidden in the making of document¬
ary films is faking.
It is unfortunate that so often when
cine amateurs set out to make docu¬
mentary films their documenting is
done in an intensely morbid mood,-
with the object of stampeding an
unsuspecting audience into becoming
supporters of some particular cause.
I am as much suspicious of the
word “ purpose ” applied to the
making of a film as I am of the moral
at the end of a story. Purpose usu¬
ally means putting over somebody
else’s point of view. A film studio
without a play production unit is like
a library without a novel — far too
serious.
A story'-, all through the ages, has
provided a means of escape. And
although psychologists tell us it is not
wise to stimulate emotions if they
are not to be translated into action,
experience has proved that a reason¬
able use of novels, plays and films has
a beneficial effect. Men, women, even
children, are always seeking, often
subconsciously, a way out from the
monotony, routine, and many com¬
pulsions of life by means of stories.
Imagination so used, blesses him that
gives and him that takes. It masks,
for a time, our limitations, and we are
enabled to go back to the compulsions
of life’s routine all the stronger for
our temporary respite.
It is true that amateurs need to
produce better story films than they
have done. Subject should be more
carefully considered in relation to
market or possible market. Many an
amateur story film starts off as a
thriller, borders on burlesque, adds
a ghost to liven things up, introduces a
comic policeman to give the funny
member of the club his chance, and
ends up as a solemn drama. Character
is to be preferred to plot if one or the
other must dominate, but if you don’t
happen to have people of outstanding
personality in your club, do have a
good plot.
Judicious make-up — not of the
pretty-pretty type— can do a great
deal to compensate for the serious
fact that types are necessarily limited
in a cm6 society. Bear in mind that
make-up should be able to interpret
the mind. Your make-up specialist
should be a psychologist. He should
know the lines that tell of weariness
or grief in the young ; of the ageing
mind as well as the ageing body.
Special attention should be paid to
the eyes. Bold lines and shadows
are effective in stage make-up but the
camera calls for subtle light and shade.

AJEWS AND REVIEWS
X ^ ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS,
The Hon. Secretary of the Stourbridge
Institute Photographic Society is now
Mr. H. P. Newland, in succession to
Mr. L. F. P. Trueman. His address is
2, Albion Street, Brierley Hill, South
Staffs.
Camera Clubs, Beware. Ashington
Camera Club has received a summons
and paid a fine. The outing, arranged
annually, was a motor-bus run, through
country lanes and old villages to Hex¬
ham. More than forty names — over a
bus load — were obtained privately, and
it was decided to place a notice in a
free advertising sheet, in order to make
the number up for the second bus.
This action brought the Club within the
clutches of the law and a fine of five
shillings had to be paid. By the ad¬
vertisement, the outing was ruled to be
a public instead of a private one.
The Club pleaded ignorance of this
ruling, and the fine was therefore
nominal. It was not stated in the court
how much valuable time and shoe
leather had been spent by the police
interviewing members of the Club and
others, in obtaining the necessary in¬
formation to justify the prosecution.
Five shillings would not cover it.
Among many attractive cameras put
on the market recently the “ Vanxhall
de Luxe ” deserves careful attention,
especially in view of its low price. It
takes sixteen exposures on standard
3]X2|: roll film. The lens is an f/2.g
Meyer " Trio-
plan ” in a Com-
pur shutter, with
delayed action,
and the usual
range of speeds
from I sec. to
I / 250th. with,
of course, T. and
B. settings in
addition. Pres¬
sure on a spring
causes the front
to spring and lock
in the working
position ; focus¬
sing is done by
revolving the front component of the
lens, various distances down to 5 ft.
being scaled. The case is of walnut
coloured bakelite, and although a hard
blow would be required to damage this,
any such unfortunate contingency is
provided for, as spare parts are available,
and the cost even of a complete body
is trifling. The price of the camera as
specified is only 45 19s. 6d. ; an ordinary
leather case is 6s. 6d. ; and an “ ever-
ready ” case, 12s. 6d. It is a delightful
outfit to use and is capable of producing
the finest results. It is being supplied
by The Camera Co., 320, Vauxhall Bridge
Road, Victoria, S.W.i.
Great alterations have taken place at
the premises of the Hampshire House
Society in preparation for the winter
season. They have been made possible
by the fact that the Society has lately
acquired the freehold of its premises,
and is prepared to sink capital into them.
The large lecture -hall on the ground
floor has been completely redecorated and
re-equipped ; it is now suitable for a
variety of pursuits ; stage lighting has
been installed for dramatic purposes,
and the walls have been re-covered for
exhibition work ; the stage may also be
used for lectures and lantern lectures,
while the wall at the back is convertible
either for exhibition pictures or as the
lantern screen. A control room has
been built at the back of the hall with
provisioir for a i6-mm. cine projector.
A D.C. current converter has also been
installed, and beautiful indirect lo-ft.
candles lighting illuminates the walls
from above, so that there will be no
trouble in the viewing of pictures.
The installation of hot-water heating
in the dark-rooms may also be men¬
tioned. The library has expanded into
the small lecture-room, and a reading-
room is now available. The studio is being
remodelled, and it is probable that draw¬
ing classes, for all who think it will
improve their photography, may be
held once a week through the winter.
Particulars of membership are obtain¬
able from the Hon. Secretary, Hampshire
House, Hog Lane, Hammersmith.
A new session of the photographic
classes for elementary and advanced
students at the Battersea Polytechnic,
Battersea Park Road, S.W.ii, has just
started. Mr. Edgar Senior is again in
charge of the course of instruction,
which is a most thorough one, and the
fees are very moderate. The Photo¬
graphic Department of the Polytechnic
is well equipped and the classes cover a
very complete range of subjects, both
theoretical and practical. The syllabus
will be sent free on application to the
above address.
The Forest Hill Photographic Society
is starting a postal portfolio. They hope
it will appeal to country photographers
who are unable to belong to a club. Full
particulars will be sent on application
to the Hon. Secretary, C. W. H. George,
20, Gordonbrock Road, London, S.E.4.
Ilford, Ltd. have recently put on
the market two new films : Selo Fine
Grain Panchromatic film and Selo Hyper¬
sensitive Panchromatic roll film and
film packs. We hope to report more
fully on these introductions after making
practical tests.
The Harrow Camera Club, which
is comparatively new and very keen,
is anxious to attract further mem¬
bers living in the neighbourhood,
beginners being especially welcomed.
An interesting winter programme has
been arranged, which includes popular
and technical lectures, and monthly
competitions are held regularly for
pictorial work. Meetings are held in
the Conservative Hall, Lowlands Road,
Harrow, on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Further
particulars may be obtained from the
Hon. Secretary, Mr. C. W. Johnson, 4,
Sheepcote Road, Harrow.

^Deader Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : '' The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out' of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee, .
Enouiries and Criticism.— Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See " General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. {3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ' How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or " Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer bv return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry,
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroa.l
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reacii I he enquirer.
Spoilt Negatives.
I enclose two negatives out of eight similar ones.
Can you tell me what is likely to have gone wrong
with them ? I have had no trouble with other
films developed according to the method described
herewith. Will Farmer’s reducer clear the
fogginess ? W. W. W. (Cricklewood.)
It is a pity that amongst all the
information you have given you should
not say what film you were using. Judg¬
ing by appearances it is a panchromatic
film, and in that case it was inevitable
that you would ruin the negatives.
Nothing you can possibly do will put
them right, as you will observe that the
image is a positive instead of a negative
one. 'We would suggest that you do not
attempt to use new material without
making yourself familiar beforehand
with its properties and the methods of
dealing with it. Panchromatic film
cannot safely be handled like ordinary
film.
Flashlight Exposures.
Provided the subject is focussed correctly, what
is the best aperture to use when taking by flash¬
light. Would I over-expose by using f/4.5 instead
of f/ii or f/i6 as would be the case when taking
by sunlight ? H. R. T. (Blakeney.)
You seem to be under a complete
misapprehension as to the exposures
by fiashlight. What you have to do is
to decide first of all the aperture that
must be used to get the necessary
definition, and then to adjust the amount
of flashpowder accordingly. If a certain
quantity of powder were sufl&cient with
the stop f/ii, you would want twice as
much with the stop f/i6.
Wooden Dishes.
What is a suitable paint for making wooden
dishes waterproof ? W. G. T. (W^tham.)
Ordinary paint is of no use for the
purpose you mention. It is more usual
to impregnate the wood with paraffin
wax worked in with a hot iron. Another
method is’to size the wood, and give it
at least two coats of the anti-sulphuric
enamel, to which we have often referred
in our columns, and which can be ob¬
tained from Messrs. Griffiths Bros. &Xo.,
Ltd., Macks Road, Bermondsey, London,
S.E.16. The joints must be close and
well fitted in the first instance, or no
after-treatment will be satisfactory.
Taking Cameras Abroad.
I am going to Spain for a short holiday, and would
like to take a camera with me. Shall I have any
trouble in doing this ? R. H. F. (Balham.)
As far as we know you will have no
difficulty in taking your own camera into
Spain, or in bringing it back into this
country. It would be advisable, how¬
ever, for you to take, if possible, the
invoice showing when and where you
bought it. We believe also that on
leaving England the Customs officials
will write identifying particulars of your
camera on your passport, and this will
facilitate getting it through on your
return. The Customs regulations are
not directed to hampering photographers,
but to prevent the importation of new
cameras without payment of the duty
to which they are liable.
London Societies.
Will you send me particulars of photographic
societies in London ? G. Z. (London, S.W.)
We regret that we cannot give you a
full list of all the photographic societies
in London ; they will be found in any
volume of Photograms of the Year.
Societies in the S.W. of London open
to all photographers are as follows :
Chelsea Photographic Society, Secretary,
F. A. Perkins, 73, Mountholme Road,
S.W. 1 1 ; Streatham and District Photo¬
graphic Society, Secretary, H. C. Wilkin¬
son, 29, Pendle Road, Streatham Park,
S.'W.ifi ; Wimbledon Camera Club,
Secretary, J. H. Reeves, 29, Richmond
Avenue, S.'W.20. The secretaries will be
pleased to furnish you with full par¬
ticulars, and we trust one of these
societies will fulfil your requirements.
Special Shutter.
Can you tell me where to obtain a focal-plane
shutter to work j'ust behind the lens and give a
speed of i/5,oooth of a second ?
. C. J. F. C. (Bridgwater.)
We know of no shutter giving anything
like the exposure you name, and it would
be quite out of the question to work a
shutter of the focal-plane type behind
the lens. It must be as near the actual
focal plane as possible. You do not
seem to realise that with a lens working
only at f/4.5 such an exposure would
be quite inadequate even on the fastest
film or plate made.
Daguerreotype.
I removed the tarnish from a Daguerreotype by
the method I describe, but the image has almost
disappeared. Can I intensify it ? G. B. (London.)
The renovation of a Daguerreotype por¬
trait is a somewhat risky procedure even
in the hands of experts. The treatment
you adopted has probably ruined yours
beyond all remedy, and we know of no
possible means of restoring the image.
Commercial Photography.
As I intend going in for commercial photography
could you inform me of a journal dealing with
the subject ? S. A. B. (Londonderry.)
Messrs. Kodak, Ltd., Kingsway, Lon¬
don, W.C.2, publish a monthly magazine
dealing with commercial photography,
and this is the one we should recommend
you to get. Please note that enquiries
intended for the editorial department
should not be included in communica¬
tions to the advertisement department,
and that all enquiries should be accom¬
panied by a stamped addressed envelope.
Cheap Papers.
I have been trying some cheap papers, but find
I cannot get such good results. Is this because
they are not as good as well-known makes, or
am I not working them correctly ?
W. H. L. (London.)
We cannot lay down any general
principle about the quality of cheap
papers. Some are certainly excellent
value for the price charged, while others
we do not consider satisfactory if really
good work is desired. There are certainly
some cheap papers on which it is quite
impossible to get results equal in quality
to those made on better-class products.
It is largely a question as to whether
the results are good enough for the
purpose required, and this is a matter
for experiment and personal decision.
D. and P.
As I find commercial developing and printing
terribly expensive I would like to do my own.
Would you submit a complete and detailed list of
materials for the purpose ? L. J. (Welling.)
We cannot possibly in the form of a
reply tell you how to set to work to
do your own developing and printing.
Your only course is to get a good text¬
book such as " Photography Made
Easy,” by R. Child Bayley (obtainable
from our publishers, price 2S. 3d. post
free), and see what apparatus you require
and what procedure you must adopt.
A mere list of apparatus and materials
would not help you much.

selected for circulation in this manner, and will be paid for at the rate of half a crown
each.

petitqr, a list of the titles of all the slides he is sending in, and the class in which
such are entered. Particulars as to make of plate, exposure, developer used, etc.,

which will accompany the winning slides on their tour among the photographic
societies, should also be given where thought necessary.
(6) A stamped and addressed label (not loose stamps) should be sent with the
slides for their return if unsuccessful ; but in no circumstance can the Editor or
the Publishers accept any responsibility for slides sent in for competition, nor for
their return ; neither can slides be returned which are not accompanied by stamps
as above.

(9) In any case of dispute, the competitor agrees to accept the decision of the

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

WEDNESDAY, October 3RD, 1934.
Copyright — Registered as a Newspaper
for transmission in the U.K.
Readers are reminded that
only a few more days remain
during which they have the
opportunity of seeing the two big
autumn shows in London^ — the Royal
and the Salon. Both these exhibi¬
tions close on Saturday, October 6th.
The P.P.A. display of professional
portrait work at Princes Gallery
closed last week. The attendances
at the shows have been very good
this year, but there are doubtless
many readers of “ The A.P.” who
have not yet seen either of those
still open, and it is specially to these
that we offer the above reminder.
If, therefore, the occasion presents
itself for visiting the Royal at 35,
Russell Square, or the Salon at
5a, Pall Mall East, before the end of
this present week it should not be
neglected. They are both well worth
careful attention by every amateur
who is really interested in the best
photographic work of the year.
The Size of the Exhibition
Picture.
Looking round — a final glance —
at the present exhibitions, we won¬
dered what it is that dictates the
size of the exhibition picture. There
must be some hidden convention,
for nearly all exhibition pictures are
of about the same size. Perliaps
at the Salon the acreage is a little
larger than at the Royal, but there
is very little in it. If a picture is
very much larger or very much
smaller than that conventional size
it loses interest. Mammoth enlarge¬
ments such as are shown by com¬
mercial firms would in any case be'
unsuitable for ordinar}^ exhibition,
since only a score or so of them could
be accommodated in the gallery,
but even so the interest of each
work would be in inverse ratio to its
size. In the same way an exhibition

in quarter-plate or half-plate would
be irritating and confusing. Some¬
thing dictates the size of the picture
shown on exhibition walls. It must
be something which the visitor can
take in as a whole, without undue
strain in focussing his eyes, and
something large enough to be de¬
tachable at a comfortable distance
from the other works surrounding it.
Among the Societies.
Renewed activity among the pho¬
tographic societies is in evidence
on all sides. The beginning of the
autumn and winter session has
again been productive of a large
batch of fixture lists for lectures and
demonstrations, and there are indi¬
cations that the numbers of evening
meetings to be held in all parts of
the country during the ne.xt few
months will be in excess of those of
any recent year. This is a good
sign that shows not only a steady
interest in photography among
British amateurs, but is indicative
of the healthy condition of the so¬
cieties themselves ; it suggests that
many recruits have been added to
the membership rolls. It is to
these new members, many of whom
are beginners, that we look for the
sustained enthusiasm which keeps
amateur photography alive and
flourishing, and it is the well-
conducted society that is invaluable
in satisfying the desire for know¬
ledge that all keen beginners possess.
Every new photographer should
join a society, and now is the best
time to do so. We shall always be
pleased to put him in touch with
the nearest in his locality.
Autumn Nights.
These early autumn nights are
perhaps the best time of the year
for the night photographer. There
301

is a mellowness in the atmosphere —
the train of glory of departing
summer. The trees are not yet
stripped of their leaves, and lamp¬
light through leaves can be woven
into a very engaging pattern. We
have been looking at some night
photographs of places abroad, where
the air is much clearer than in this
country, and where the lights — the
sky signs, the street lamps, the
illuminated fountains — shine out
with a distinctness rarely seen
here. The lights are seen as little
punctures in the surrounding dark,
each glowing bulb an emphatic
point, the whole thing appearing
like a string of diamonds, with a
diamond-lilce hardness. The sub¬
ject is charming in its way, but it
lacks some feeling, some softness,
which the English night scene offers
to the pictorialist. It is merely a
pattern, not a picture ; it is some¬
thing lilce a page of music, not a
pictorial composition. Give us the
English night every time.
Interruption.
Our Geneva correspondent writes :
You may have seen in the papers
that the League of Nations has been
debating a wretched little war which
has been raging for two years in the
middle of South America, between
Bolivia and Paraguay. Oh, the
oceans of talk which have flowed
around this struggle, when the
representatives of hfty nations have
tried hour after hour to bring about
a settlement. The other day, after
a big discussion, the delegates were
just leaving when their attention
was directed to a little scene in the
garden of the Secretariat, where a
“ talkie ” him was being made.
An elegantly-dressed French lady
was delivering an address in front
of a microphone, while a cinema¬
tograph camera followed her graceful
gestures. She was just in the middle
of a moving passage when someone
in attendance' on the straggle of
apparatus which cumbered the place
let loose a sneeze so mighty that it
must have split the sound track.
The whole affair dissolved in laugh¬
ter, and among those who laughed
most were the delegates from Bolivia
and Paraguay who had been looking
out of a window in the corridor.
As they went away laughing, one
rather hoped that in that laughter
they might hnd a resolution of their
quarrel.
The A mateur Photographer” EXPOSURE 'Y ABLE —October
EVERY MONTH a brief exposure table will be provided for the assistance of our readers in their practical work. A glance at
the current approximate exposures as here given will serve as a reliable guide for most purposes. The subjects will be varied
to suit the time of year. The following exposures will serve as a working guide for any fine day during the month, between the
hours of 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, with the sun shining, but not necessarily on the subject. Stop used, f/8. The
exposure should be doubled if the sun is obscured, or if stop f/ii is used. For f/i6 give four times the exposure. For f/5.6
give half. From 8 to 10 a.m. or from 2 to 4 p.m., double these exposures. From 7 to 8 a.m. or from 4 to 5 p.m., treble them.

xhibition Prints on
Chloro-Bromide Papers
Chloro-bromide papers are becoming increasingly popular amongst amateur photographers
for the production of their exhibition prints, and the following notes will be useful to those
who intend making use of this type of paper and to those who have been unsuccessful in
obtaining satisfactory results.
Those who have not yet mastered
printing on chloro-bromide paper
will probably disagree with the
statement that there is no other process
which provides such good prints with
equal facility. The mistake that many
workers make is to imagine that prints
on chloro-bromide paper are made in
thC' same way as prints on ordinary
bromide paper.
When dealing with bromide paper the
depth of printing is controlled by in¬
creasing or decreasing the exposure time,
and one need not consider development
of the print in this connection. De¬
velopment is timed in this case to secure
adequate quality and contrast. When
chloro-bromide paper is being used it is
necessary to secure not only correct
printing depth but also the proper degree
of contrast.
Chloro-bromide prints are rarely de¬
veloped to finality, and development
is timed to secure a print of proper
depth. An over-developed print will be
too dark, while an under-developed
print will be too light.
Factorial Development.
As it is difficult to judge printing
depth accurately by the light of a safe
dark-room lamp, some means of timing
development accurately is necessary.
The Watkins’ factorial system provides
us with this means, and prints devel¬
oped to a suitable factor will be of a
proper depth. An average factor for
the chlorquinol developer is 5, while that
for a chloro-bromide M.Q. developer is
3. These figures will be found correct
for most subjects and from the purely
technical point of view, but they may
be modified to secure a lighter or darker
print if desired.
Controlling Contrast.
The function of exposure time is to
control, not depth of printing but the
contrast of the print. An increase
of exposure time over a minimum which
will produce a print of good depth will
result in a loss of contrast in a properly
developed print, which may or may not
be de.sirable, so that where a test print
reveals too high a contrast the exposure
should be increased ; if the contrast
is too soft exposure must be reduced.
Contrast may also “be controlled by
adjusting the strength of the developer ;
a strong developer produces a strong
print, and a dilute developer a soft
print. In practice full control is obtained
by arriving at a balance of adjustment
to both exposure time and developer
strength.
Where long exposures are necessary for
the reduction of contrast the time of
development would become too short
to control if a solution of full strength
were being used, so that it would then
become necessary to dilute the developer
in order to secure a comfortable time
of working. This combination of adjust¬
ment to both developer strength and
exposure time will produce the best
results without the necessity of unduly
prolonging either the exposure or the
development times to which we should
be liable if contrast were controlled by
either means alone.
Test Exposures.
In actual printing it is first of all
advisable to discover what length of
exposure will be necessary to produce a
print of sufficient depth regardless of
contrast, and this is effected by the
usual test-strip method as in bromide
printing. If the negative is of fairly
soft contrast it will be found that the
contrast rendered by this minimum
exposure is satisfactory, and this is
the circumstance in which prints on
chloro-bromide paper may be made in
the same way as on bromide paper.
If it happens that the test print reveals
that the contrast is excessive, a further
test must be made in order to discover
what increase in exposure over the
minimum will be necessary to reduce the
contrast to the required degree, but in
this case one exposure only (not a
series) must be made upon the test piece,
and this should be made through such a
portion of the negative as will indicate
its range of contrast.
Thus, if the minimum exposure is
found to be ten seconds, and that this
exposure provides a print which is too
hard, a test piece is exposed for 20
seconds and developed to a factor of
5 using chlorquinol, or 3 using M.Q.
If this test print still shows an excess
of contrast it would be advisable to
dilute the developer by, say, 50 per
cent, and to make a further test at the
same exposure of 20 seconds ; it is
probable that a further increase in
exposure time without dilution of the
developer would result in development
time becoming too short to control
accurately. ’
Obtaining Printing Quality.
While it may be objected that this
appears to be a cumbersome and lengthy
process, it must be realised that it is the
only way in which the advantage of
control over printing quality and depth
may be secured. The developed and
fixed test piece will also indicate whether
any modification of the factor is required,
but it must be remembered if this seems
desirable that any modification of the
factor will have its effect upon the
contrast of the print, and a further test
will be necessary.
When making the final print it must
be borne in mind that the curtailed
development that occurs in the case of
these papers imposes upon us the neces¬
sity of taking great care that develop¬
ment commences evenly over the whole
surface of the print and that it ends
promptly. When large prints are being
made it is advisable to give them an
initial soaking in clean water until limp
to facilitate the uniform application of
the developer, and all prints should be
given only a very brief rinse before
fixing. An acid fixing bath should
always be used for chloro-bromides.
Temperature.
Particularly when using an M.Q.
developer strict attention must be paid
to temperature, and while the higher
temperatures of summer are not detri¬
mental to good printing, some means
must be employed during cold weather
to maintain an even temperature of
between 65 and 70 degrees. A “ hot
plate ” can be made by using a biscuit
tin or a box containing a hot-water
bottle or an electric lamp, and the
developing dish can be kept on the top
of this very simple arrangement.
Colour.
It will be noticed that we have not
considered the question of colour at all,
and it is recommended that no attempt
be made to secure any particular colour
in the print. Chloro-bromide paper is
noted for a distinctive warmth of colour
and this is most easily obtained by
following the procedure described. Extra
warmth of colour is provided by a cur¬
tailment of development time which will
have its effect upon the depth and con¬
trast of the print. It is impossible to
make two prints of the same contrast
but of different colour from the same
negative, as a little reasoning and ex¬
periment will soon show.
If warmth of colour is particularly
desired it should be arranged for when
the negative is made by prolonging its
development until a degree of contrast
is obtained which will make necessary
the long exposure and short development
of the chloro-bromide print.
It must, however, be pointed out that
the best colour, a rich brown-black, is
obtained from negatives that are just
of sufficient vigour to require the use
of a soft grade of bromide paper. The
colour and quality of a chloro-bromide
print made from such a negative of good
quality is unexcelled by that of any
other printing process. C. M.

in Portraiture
AND A NOTE ON LIGHTING
OXE of the oldest rules in portrait
lighting has to do with the
classical 45 degrees in which
the rays of light should strike a sitter’s
face, i.e.. the light is supposed to be
not only 45 degrees above the sitter’s
face, but also 45 degrees at the side.
This produces the best illumination for
roundness and proper modelling.
Everjmne can demonstrate this by
practical experimentation. The rare
exceptions to this rule are negligible.
Fig. I.
If a light is correct for one side
of the face, it is reasonable to as¬
sume that it should also apply as
correctly for the other side. And
then we come to the startling
realisation that while we are scien¬
tific as regards one side of the face,
we are treating the other half in
striking antagonism to the above-
mentioned precepts.
Keeping in mind that the best
lighting is under the angle of 45
degrees, it will be realised that there
is something drastically wrong
when one uses a reflector in taking
a portrait. A reflector is really
the only useless item in the pro¬
cedure of portrait work. A reflec¬
tor will throw light into the sitter’s
■face at the angle of 45 degrees
when considered from the horizontal
plane, but when it is looked at

from the vertical plane, the light be without these gradations and

the light coming from the side, would in., covered with tinfoil, or a small
mirror put in the same rela¬
tive position as the light on
the other side of the face, gives
much better results than the
old-fashioned standard re¬
flector. It is obvious that
this small reflector must be
on a slant downward to put
the light where you want
it. This would give you a
rather hard light. If you
wish to soften this reflection,
crinkle your tinfoil first
and put it on that way, or
get the rough or matt
tinfoil or silvered paper.
The beauty of such an
appliance is that you can not
only put it very close to the
face and get all the illumina¬
tion necessary, but it in
itself is so small that it
takes up very little space.
The resulting small catch-
light in the other eye can
be left in the eye, or can
be easily etched out or
spotted in the finished print.
This it woidd always be ad¬
visable to do, as there would

eye, the main-light source

one catch-light showing, the main light.
It is always a puzzle to me why so
few professionals and amateurs pay
attention to the reflections in the eye.
You can often tell by looking at the
eyes in a portrait what lighting was
used and how it was placed. Why
kill the eye with more than one light
in it ? One high-light gives roundness ;
more tend to flatness. To illustrate
this I have made a print (Fig. 2) of
two eyes, one has one catch-light
and the other has two, and you can
judge for yourself which is the more
appealing.
The reflecting window does not
allow you to look through it. The eye
is termed " the window of the soul ”
and it is much more important to see
what is within and behind the eye than
the things before it.
Fig. 3 was taken with a main light
and a small 60-watt globe in a lo-in.
hood in place of the ordinary reflector.
In this case you clearly see the
roundness and the limpid depth of
both eyes.
' I would suggest to all those who are
using the old-fashioned reflector to
discard it and use it for a background.
The mistake made by the amateur
portraitist — and rnany professionals
also — is to use much too strong a light,
probably with the idea of cutting down
exposures. With the modern high¬
speed films and plates this becomes
a secondary consideration. ' Better
modelling can always be obtained with
a lower light power.
You can make this experiment on a
bright 'sunny day — put somebody in
front of an open window, facing this
window, and you will see that the
nose and the ear (which is farther
away from the window) will receive
the same illumination. We have here
a large powerful light-source that will
penetrate a great distance before
noticeable weakening takes place.
Now make this experiment. Take
a 60-watt globe with a twelve-inch
reflector or larger, and in a darkened
room illuminate with it your subject’s
face. You will see at once that the
ihi amateur photographer
ta 6 CIHEMATOGRAPHER a
ear now receives much less light than
the nose, which is the basis of round¬
ness in portraits.
The portrait (Fig. i) was made with
an equivalent of a 1,000-watt lamp.
I was obliged to use this light in order
to get sufficient reflection to illustrate
the previous point, but many photo¬
graphers are using such intense light¬
ing all the time and it tends to kill
modelling.
Now look at Fig. 3. It was made
with a 250-watt globe as the main-
light source and a 60-watt globe
instead of a reflector. You can see the
floating quality in this light as it seems
to flow caressing upon the face,
diminishing rapidly. The hair is its
true colour, and the high-lights are
placed where they belong. With a
small weak light source you get a
wonderful gradation of the various
light-and-shadow intensities, while
with the intense light many of the
hal f - shadows have entirely dis¬
appeared, leaving only the deep
shadows, creating harshness.
TWO NOTES for users of ROLL-FILM CAMERAS
MAKING SINGLE EXPOSURES
with a Roll-film Camera.
SERS of ordinary roll-iilm cameras,
at times, wish that their instru¬
ments could be used for makiirg
a single exposure without the necessity of
using up a whole roll of eight or more
exposures before being able to make the
urgently desired print.
I have at times, when using an
ordinary folding roll-film camera, made
single exposures, intended for immediate
development, by purchasing a packet
of cut films of that size which the camera
would ordinarily give on roll film, and
loading the camera, in the dark-room,
of course, with a single film laid upon
the pressure-plate of the opened camera,
and closing the camera body on to its
back, this to avoid the possibility of
the film moving from its set position
on the pressure plate. Needless to add,
the pressure plate must be effective in
its action, otherwise the film will not
remain flat.
Fig. I.
Having recently purchased a “ Rollei-
cord ” twin-lens reflex roll-film camera,
I have found that it can also be used
for accommodating cut film for single
V;xposures in the manner already ex-
jilained. It might be a surprise to
many users of this make of camera to
learn that it will quite safely accommo¬
date a single 3I x 2^ or x 2^ glass plate.
Fig. 2.
The first illustration shows how the
camera is loaded with the plate, which
will lie very nicely in the recess of the
pressure plate. In the second illustra¬
tion it will be seen how the body of the
camera is closed on to its back. By
reason of the well-sprung pressure plate,
all chances of straining the back of the
camera when closed on to the plate
are precluded. C. K.

HOTOGRAPHERS possessing fold¬
ing film cameras will often find
that they can pull them out a
considerable distance beyond the limits
of the focussing scale, but will be unable
to use this extra available extension
because they do not know for what
distance the camera will then be focussed.
The following simple method will
enable them to calculate this.
If the focal length of the camera lens
is F inches and the distance of the lens
from the film is V inches, then inches
is the distance for which the camera
is focussed.
For example, if the focal length of the
lens is 4 inches, and the lens is 6 inches
from the film, it is focussed for an object
which is |2ii inches — that is, 12 inches —
away.
If, however, the focal length of the
camera lens is given in centimetres,
multiply the focal length by 2.54, which
will convert it into inches.
But perhaps it is required to focus
an object — which is a known distance
away (call it d inches). Then the
distance from lens to film will need to
be inches.
Thus, if the object is 12 inches away,
and the lens is of 4 inches focus, the
distance frorn lens to film should be
iTil? inches — that is, 6 inches.
12-4
In practice, however, one difficulty
will arise. An anastigmat or an R.R.
lens ha's at least two elements, and the
focal length is measured, not from either
of the elements, but from a point some¬
where between them.
However, this difficulty can be over¬
come quite easily. If the focal length
of the camera lens is 4 inches, then, when
the camera is focussed for infinity, the
lens is at its foeal length (4 inches) from
the film.
So if, from your calculations, you
need the lens 6 inches from the film,
put the pointer 2 inches beyond the
infinity mark, and all will be well. F. S.

TREE PHOTOGRAPHY
By G. R. ROOKLEDGE.
This leads us^to notice that the same trees are different in
different seasons, and it is in the winter that, for photo¬
graphic purposes, the variations between species are most
noticeable as a rule. We find, for instance, that in winter
the beech and hornbeam show characteristic methods of
branching not visible in summer owing to the foliage.
In the warm season the great majority <of trees present
masses rather than lines, while in winter the opposite is
the case. In spring the buds, and in autumn the sparse
leaves, cause the tree to display varying degrees of mass
and line.
In the latter season the colouring of the foliage, etc.,
is probably at its brightest, though the spring can almost
vie with it. The brilliant gold of the sweet-chestnut
leaves, the bi-coloured leaves of the whitebeam, the
brown of the oak foliage, the crimson of the rowan
Hoar-Frost. The first touch of winter.
and holly berries, and the copper bark
of the Scots pine attract our atten¬
tion in the autumn ; while early in
the year we notice the bright pale
green of the new larch needles, the
delicate green of the beech leaves
and the emerald moss at the base of
its trunk, as well as the snowy appear¬
ance of the white poplar when its
buds expand.
The winter is not without its
colouring. Golden leaves still cling
to the sweet-chestnut saplings, making
useful foils to their darker trunks ;
the holly, rowan and hawthorn berries
show to their greatest advantage,
and the ground under the trees, so
dark in summer, is relieved by a
carpet of dead leaves, often giving
valuable contrasts in the flatter light
of the dark season.

Many photographers seem to regard trees as
nothing more than a verj^ important adjunct
to their landscapes, not
realising that they are
entitled to consideration as subjects
in themselves.
Like human beings, trees have in¬
dividuality; no two are alike. They
differ in so many ways and have so
many moods that they offer endless
variety to anyone who cares to make
a study of their characteristics with
a camera — that is, to anyone who
makes portraits of them.
Familiarity with the subject, how¬
ever, is a primary essential for good
portraiture, and can only be obtained
by contact ; but a few hints and sug¬
gestions mav be useful.
Trees differ from species to species.
This, of course, is obvious in some cases,
but in others the differences are not
marked, and the uninitiated may easily
mistake one variety for another. No
one is likely to confuse the holly and
the spruce, but the hornbeam is fre¬
quently taken for beech in summer.

If these few points have interested you, why not add to
them by personal acquaintance ? Expensive apparatus is
definitely not needed for this class of work. An f/8 lens is
quite good ; if you can get one of long or variable focus, that
is excellent. A tripod and an exposure meter you are
accustomed to are essential, while panchromatic stock and
a pale filter are useful. With these materials you must be
on your guard against movement due to the wind, for ex¬
posures will be long ; but no great difficulty need be anticipated,
and it may be of interest to know that the illustrations in
this article were all taken with a lens working at f/8 and the
materials mentioned. If the worker possesses an expensive
or more elaborate outfit the work is just as simple, but care
must be taken to avoid over-exposure, which will tend to
flatten out all contrast. Even a cheap boxform or roll-
film camera will produce good results with this subject. In
an)^ case endeavour to take advantage of bright side lighting,
especially when the sun is low, to emphasise form and
modelling.
So now that autumn is with us again, do not put the
camera away until the Spring, but get out and make friends
with a few trees. They are worth it ! Their interest is
great, and grows with acquaintance'.

depicted in its summer clothing, yet reaches
the height of its glory, at least to my mind,
on one of those crisp winter mornings when
the dark, deep-red mass of delicate tracery
that is its head is crowned with an ethereal
cloud of hoar-frost seen against a deep blue
sky illuminated by a brilhant sun.
At that time of the year the low sun and the
lack of foliage reveal the beauty of the bark
of trees, varying from the smooth grey or
startling ivory of the holly to the rough elm
or oak bark, and the spirally twisted fluting
of the sweet-chestnut’s covering.
The late autumn, and, particularly, the
winter are pre-eminently the times when the
real character of a tree is literally laid bare.
In summer deciduous trees usually have the
appearance of a more or less rounded mass,
but in winter each branch and twig is seen.
Compare, for instance, the semi-circular mass
of a free-grown oak in summer with the bent,
twisted, tortuous form of a similar tree when
bare of leaves. Remembering its majestic
symmetry in summer, note the massive rug¬
gedness and clumsy branching displayed in

UNDER-EXPOSURE.
NOTES C NOTIONS
^Or tflQ
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
A GOOD many photographers find difficulty in recog¬
nising under-exposure in a negative, and in deciding
whether it is under-exposure or under-development
that has caused a negative to be too weak. As a rule there
should be no difficulty at all in deciding.
Let us start right at the beginning. If we take a plate
straight out of its box, and treat it with any suitable
developer, nothing will happen, provided no actinic light
falls on the plate, and that the developer will not produce
chemical fog. The fixed plate will look like a piece of clear
glass.
Next, suppose we put the plate some yards away from
an electric lamp which- is switched on and off as rapidly
as possible. In the developer the plate will darken evenly
all over, but not beyond a certain depth, however long we
continue development. . The fixed plate will be a pale grey.
We can now imagine that we give a plate rather more
light, and develop it as far as it will go, and, after fixing,
find the plate a dark grey all over. ■ And, finally, we can
use more light still, and -secure a fixed plate that is black
all over. We have four plates, clear, light grey, dark grey
and black, the differences resulting from the amount of
light action.
W'lien we expose a plate in the camera, different parts of
it are affected accordmg to the amount of light falling on
them from different parts of the subject. From a very
dark part of the subject there may come so little light that
this part is represented by clear glass on the negative (as
with our first plate) . From a very bright part of the subject
comes so much light that it is represented on the negative
by a black patch (as with our fourth plate). And between
these two extremes will come all shades of grey that are
needed to represent the gradations of the subject itself.
The next thing to bear in mind is that when we speak of
the exposure a plate has received w^e should mean the
amount of effective light action, resulting in different
degrees of density after development. It is not correct to
consider only the time a shutter opened, or a cap was off.
It would be possible to get as much light action on a plate in
one-hundredth of a second in some cjises as in an hour
in others.
For the illustration the actual exposure time was the
same for the -whole of the stereoscopic plate, which was
developed and printed as a single negative. The purpose of
the illustration has resulted in neither half being good, but
one is manifestly worse than the other. The difference is
due entirely to the fact that one lens was set at f/8 and
the other at f/22.
To get a better rendering of the subject I should have
proceeded differently. As the subject was of extreme
contrast — part in deep shadow in a conservatory, and part
in bright sunshine out of doors — I should have given a
14
308
October 3rd, 1934
longer exposure and curtailed development. Incidentally,
I should have used a different plate and a filter. I should
have given longer exposure to obtain sufficient light action
from the shadow areas ; and I should have curtailed
development to prevent over-density in the brilliant
parts.
I did none of these things, because I wished to keep to
the usual conditions under which several exposures on
different subjects are made on 'one spool of film, which is
afterwards developed as a whole for normal time. Most of
us are familiar with the appearance of a spool made in
these circumstances, with some sections dense and con¬
trasty, and others thin and weak, and lacking in detail.
In the illustration, the left-hand portion is definitely
under-exposed. If it had been developed longer it would
have been better up to a certain point. The denser parts
would have become denser still, and faint detail would have
appeared where there is none at present. But, as I say,
the improvement would continue only up to a point.
Further development might have made some of the dense
patches darker still, which would be a disadvantage ; but
it would have produced no further detail in the clear
parts, just where such detail is wanted.
This is the definite indication of under-exposure — lack
of detail, gradation and density in the less brightly lighted
parts of the subject. There is nothing that can be done to
remedy the defect. ' Nothing we can do in the way of
development, after-treatment, or “ tinkering ” with the
Letters to the Editor
^ The Editor is twt responsible for the opinions of his correspondents.
THE MINIATURE CAMERA.
Sir, — As a convert from a 3jX2^ plate camera enthusiast
to a miniature camera enthusiast, I should like to explain the
main reasons for the change in my enthusiasm, as I think they
help to show why the miniature camera has become so de¬
servedly popular.
The miniature camera has enlarged my field of photography
immensely and has undoubtedly resulted in a great improve¬
ment in the general standard of my work, together with a very
much higher standard of technique. This improvement in
the standard of my work — admittedly not a very high standard
— has, I think, been due to the fact that I can now afford to
take several slightly different photographs of a promising
subject, and by making the most of it in this way I can obtain
a really satisfactory picture with more certainty.
In conclusion I should like to say that the pleasure of getting
a really first-class negative, both technically and pictorially,
on a miniature film, that is capable of standing a high degree
of enlargement, is a joy that only a real miniature camera
enthusiast can appreciate, and is, I think, the main reason
why so many people who have become miniature camera
owners have also become very much keener photographers
than hitherto. — Yours, etc., G. A. MACLEAN.
DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — I shall look with great interest for replies to Mr. Long-
field’s letter in a recent issue referring to a type of tank that
seemed likely to be proof against the particular difficulty that
I experience with the apron type.
That difficulty is that for no apparent reason the film ad¬
heres sometimes to the apron. In some cases this prevents the
developer from getting access to the emulsion ; in others I
have known considerable patches of the emulsion to come right
away from the film and stick to the apron.
The makers suggest that this is due to the film being wound
too tightly round the apron and its spool. But I have been
unable to find any certain cure. Can your readers suggest
one?— Yours, etc., J. A. STIRLING.

negative, can be a substitute for appropriate light action.
Those who suggest intensification as a remedy do not
appreciate this. Intensification will proportionately increase
the various densities resulting from development, but it
cannot increase a density that is not there at all. Therefore,
serious under-exposure is fatal to a satisfactory result.
When a negative suffers from under-development the case
is altogether different. If adequate exposure was given,
the negative will show more detail in the darker parts of
the subject, but the density of this detail is much too low.
High-lights which should approximate to black in the
negative are only dark grey ; what should be dark greys
are light greys. In fact, all the densities need strengthen¬
ing proportionately, and this is exactly what longer
development would have done.
This is a case in which suitable intensification comes to
the rescue. It does just what longer development would
have done.
After this simple explanation I think that even a beginner
should be able to examine his negatives, and judge from
their appearance which have not received sufficient light
action during exposure ; and which were adequately
exposed, but not developed long enough to build up the
necessary strength and contrast. The first class he must
regard as unsatisfactory, and beyond real remedy ; the
second class he may confidently expect to improve by the
simple process of building up the image by intensification.
W. L. F. W.
Sir, — I was interested in the letter of L. Longfield re de¬
veloping tanks. Several years ago I bought one known as the
Eastman Developing Box, and have used it ever since. It
consists of a long metal box with a roller one end and at the
other a roller and winder with a length of string attached to
the roller. At the end of the string is a clip that takes the
spool of film. The string and clip are passed over the other
and brought back to the winder. The spool of film is then
clipped in and the extra backing paper threaded under the
winder and over the edge of the box. After pouring in the
developer the lid is clamped on, thereby holding the end of the
film by the backing paper quite firmly. You then wind up the
string unwinding the film. The box is fitted with a rocker, but
the only snag in it is that if you rely on the rocker the developer
does not properly reach that part of the film which goes over
the roller. However, common .sense easily rectifies that.
My trouble is that it is only made for a six-exposure film,
and at a dealer’s shop where I made enquiries regarding it
nobody seemed to have heard of it.
It is absolutely a daylight tank, simple and satisfactory in
every way. I have often wondered why I have never seen
another like it. — Yours, etc., L. M. DOUGLAS.
LONG-DISTANCE PHOTOGRAPHY.
Sir, — With reference to the article dealing with the above
subject which appeared in a recent issue of " The A.P.,” it may
be of interest to record that at least twenty-five years ago
Jules Richard supplied a special baseboard for use with the
45X107 Verascope, upon which a pair of field glasses could
be so adjusted to the lenses of the camera as to enable highly
satisfactory views of distant objects to be photographed.
I myself obtained some fine pictures of the Savoy Alps from
hotel grounds situated many miles from the mountains in
question. — -Yours, etc., DOUGLAS TIMINS.
UNSPOOLING ROLL FILMS.
Sir, — Re your article on unspooling roll films, I think I
know a more simple way — get two strong " bulldog ” clips,
clip up the start of the film, hold the dip in your teeth, unroll the
film, clip up the end after tearing off paper. It is then ready
to be run through a basin of water to take out the curl before
see-sawing. I change the clips before fixing and put on another
pair to avoid stains.— Yours, etc., HELEN C. KINGSTON.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
tTie second was that I was fired
with an ambition to produce prints
as good as those I had seen on the
walls.
‘ ‘ A combination of the two effects
led me to join a camera club — a
step which I have never regretted.
“ Now about my methods. I
do not specialise in any particular
class of subject, but am attracted
by sunshine and shadow effects,
landscape appealing to me most
strongly. I practically always use
Kodak film, the Panatomic devel¬
oped with M.Q. being my special
favourite. I always endeavour to
obtain a thin negative, but with
plenty of ‘ life ’ in it. For printing
I use Kodak Royal, tinted or white,
which I develop for fully two minutes
to get proper detail and gradation.
For some subjects I rely on chloro-
bromide as more suitable to what
I am aiming at. I seldom make
contact prints, but select my best
negatives, and proceed straight away
to make enlargements from them.
“ Faking I cannot tolerate, but
I find it advisable to brighten up the
quality of the print with a little
medium. I also naturally exercise
a certain amount of control during
the exposure ; and my home-made
lantern, using only reflected light,
makes the exposures sufficiently
long to give ample time for such
modifications.
“ When exposing for my negatives
I always try, if time permits, to
wait for the right lighting. In the
case of ‘ The Shadow Carpet,’ taken
at Canterbury, I waited nearly two
hours to get the shadow in the
middle of the steps.”
TO explain how I make my
exhibition pictures is more
difficult to me than making
them. Anyhow, to begin at the
beginning, I started dabbling in
photography with a bo.x Brownie
when I was quite a lad. After
many heart-breaking results I visited
a local chemist who did developing
and printing, and asked his advice.
He looked me up and down as a
rare specimen of impudence, but
invited me into his dark-room, and,
as he expressed it, taught me all
there was to know about photo¬
graphy. This operation lasted about
fifteen minutes. One condition of
so instructing me was that in future
I was to purchase all my photo¬
graphic requisites from him. I did.
‘‘ After a short time I was able
to make quite presentable prints ;
in fact they were considered so
good that my mother gave me
permission to use the coal-cellar
as a dark-room. I was evidently
getting on. Then a friend took me
to a photographic exhibition. What
I saw there had two distinct effects
on me. The first was that I realised
that I was by no means so good a
photographer as I had imagined ;

Some Critical Comments
ALTHOUGH much of the uncer-
tainty that used to exist in
the early days of photography
has now passed away — thanks to
time and temperature tables, negative
emulsions of constant qualities, and
an enormous range of printing
materials — the problem of exposure
remains just as it was. There are
meters, of course, and all sorts of more
or less automatic calculators, but,
whatever the type, a certain amount
of judgment is called for in their
application.
Men and Meters.
In all probability, no two individuals
would get precisely the same reading
from a meter of the Watkins or Wynne
type. One will take a reading in the
nearest shadow which is included in
the subject. Another will cause the
meter to face the scene he is exposing
upon, and a third individual will ex¬
pose the instrument in the shade of
his body to the sky.
Further differences may arise in
matching the tints, in allowances for
the class of subject, and in variations
in shutter speeds. Differences, of an
analogous sort, arise with either
calculators or instruments of the
extinctor class, and, even with those
based on the most modern photo¬
electric cell arrangements, , there are
possibilities of not inconsiderable
variation resulting from differences
in the method of use.
Nevertheless, none of these differ¬
ences amounts to much, in practical
work, if the method with each indi¬
vidual is always the same, and if
subject allowances, based on experi¬
ence and on the known reaction of the
negative material, are made.
It is in these respects that judgment
has always had to be and still must
be exercised. The maxim that dates
back to the earliest days of photo¬
graphy — expose for the shadows and
let the lights take care of themselves —
is as sound as ever, and should always
be kept in mind.
The Determining Factor.
The shadows — the darkest parts of
the subject — are the determining fac¬
tor, and due allowance has to be
made according to their depth and
proximity, i.e., by increasing the
exposure correspondingly in the case
of light-measuring instruments and
calculators, and by directing the meter
towards the darkest part of the sub¬
ject in the case of appliances of the
extinctor and photo-electric cell types.
A case in point is provided by No. i
of the prints on the opposite page —
“ The Last Load,” by L. Horton.
Here, it seems as though the allow¬
ance, if any, for the proximity of the
dark above the archway is inadequate.
Moreover, the wagon and horses
behind are only shown in silhouette,
and do not display the differences in
tonal value that would undoubtedly
be seen in the subject itself.
It is not possible to say definitely,
in the absence of the negative, that
unider-exposure is present, for a like
result in the print can arise through
the contrasts of the negative being too
great for the capacity of the printing
paper ; but, at all events, the print
in question does provdde an idea of the
effect that follows under-exposure.
Its existence can be confirmed by a
lack of deposit in the shadow portions
of the negative, and. if these be clear,
its maker will now be in a position to
diagnose the fault.
Light against Dark.
From the pictorial point of view, the
subject has not been badly seen, but
the group, as the centre of interest, does
not quite exert the degree of attraction
it should.
It is a strong dark, and, shown
against a light background, would be
sufficient to retain the attention, but,
in conjunction with a setting of
equivalent tone, its presence is barely
discernible. The placing of light
against dark or dark against light
not only makes for a very considerable
concentration of interest, but is the only
really effective way in which a group
of this kind can be made to stand
out properly from its surroundings.
Admittedly little could be done to
improve matters in this instance, for
the setting is unamenable, and no
practical re-arrangement suggests it¬
self. Even if the exposure had been
deferred for a bit, the horse and wagon
would still be shown against the hedge,
and the probability is that their scale,
on account of movement towards the
camera, would be much too large for
the picture space. All that could
have been done, apart from the question
of exposure, seems to have been done.
Negative Contrast.
The landscape portion of No. 6,
Spring,” by T. Hart, scarcely seems
to show the degree of modulation that
should be there, and it would not be
surprising to find that here again
there was a measure of under-exposure.
If so, the negative would be very
thin, and, if a further 'attempt is
made on the same or a similar subject,
the precaution to take will be obvious.
On the other hand, a rendering like
that of No. 4, ” Bicester,” by N.
Appleyard, with its heavy shadows
and too brilliant lights, would seem
to be attributable to a too-vigorous
negative — one that is over-developed —
rather than to under-exposure.
As the negative is now complete,
the most effectiv^e remedy for its
harshness of tone is the substitution
of a softer type of printing paper for
that employed in the present instance,
remarks which are also applicable,
though perhaps in lesser degree, to
Nos. 3 and 5, ” Reflections,” by D.
W. Morrell and ” Shabbington,” by
Albert S. A. Wooster.
Exposure and Development.
The latter, apart from its slight
technical deficiency, shows an excellent
rendering of an effect of evening
sunshine, though, unless something
of an undesirable character made an
appearance, a horizontal picture would
be more appropriate for the subject
than the present vertical.
A little more on the right than on
the left would be advisable, too, for
the bigger of the two sunlit gables
should not be placed so near the edge
of the print. With No. 2, ” Milking
Time,” by Miss S. Lambe, it is a
very difficult thing to get a satis¬
factory grouping with cows when
they are on the move, and, having
regard to this, the result can be
regarded as very creditable. Tech¬
nically, the print shows excellent
workmanship, for its tones are good
and harmonious, and there is no
evidence of either under-exposure
or miscalculation in the time of
development. ” Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every w^eek one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“THE RIVER BED,” hy Alex. Keighley.
This example from the hands of
one of the veterans of photo¬
graphy, Alex. Keighley, shows
that he has lost none of his vision or
skill, for not only does it convey that
suggestion of romance that we have
come to expect from him, but it is
also characterised by a nice feeling
for an effect of sunshine ; its com¬
position is clever and in¬
triguing ; and the contrast of
dark tone with light is striking
and most arresting.
The Grand Manner.
Keighley is one of those men
who always seem to work in
the grand manner. His pic¬
tures nearly always seem to
convey, besides his sense of
the romantic, a feeling for
spaciousness and the truly
picturesque, and this is no
exception.
The original, which is one
of those on view at the current
exhibition of the London
Salon of Photography at 5a,
Pall Mall East, London, S.W. i ,
is of large size — approxi¬
mately 20x15 in. — and a
carbon of great richness of
quality. It should be seen
to be fully appreciated, for
although the reproduction
gives a good idea of the
subject and its intrinsic at¬
traction, it cannot quite at¬
tain the quality innate in the
original. What is more or less
unique, and no less out of the
ordinary, is the manner in
which a departure from the
conventional placing for the
principal item has been man¬
aged without involving any
suspicion of weakness or in¬
viting a charge of eccentricity.
The departure from the
normal in question is to be seen in
the placing of the group of figures at ( i ) .
There is no doubt but that this group
forms the centre of attraction, for the
way in which they draw and hold the
attention is self-evident. Yet, in the
ordinary run of things, such a placing,
so low down in the picture space and
so near the right-hand edge, would
inevitably cause a feeling of weakness
to arise.
Artistic Licence.
Much may be permitted under the
liberty afforded under thie charter
of artistic licence, but it has to justify
itself, and, here, the justification is
to be found in the position of the
opposing accents, of which the patches
of sunlight at (2) and (3) are the chief.
That at (2) pulls against the attraction
exerted by the point (i) in a direction
that is both upward and inclined
to the left. That at (3), the lower,
also pulls against (i), but more directly
towards the left-hand side.
The effect of (2) is to create an
illusion that (i) is higher in the picture
space than it is in fact, and (3) causes
a similar hallucination in conveying
the idea that (i) is in closer proximity
to the centre than it actually is.
316
In conjunction these two accents
give rise to the feeling that the group
at (i) is quite forcefijlly placed, al¬
though without them it is doubtful
if the position, alone, would be strong
enough. But, apart from placing, it
will be observed that the two figures
of the group form the brightest notes
of the whole theme. This, in the
absence of any other factor,
would tend to centre the in¬
terest in them, but the at¬
tention so excited is greatly
emphasised by the fact that
they are shown against the
deepest shadow.
The secondary figure (4)
has an influence similar to
accent (3), which stresses its
effect, and another factor of
no little significance arises
from the position of the group
(i) on the diagonal from top
left to bottom right.
So that it now appears that
justification for the unusual
placing of the chief item is to
be found.
Appeal of Effect.
The arrangement, as de¬
scribed, is interesting, but
it must be remembered that
composition is only the means
whereby the pictorial motive
is made manifest. Here the
pictorial appeal lies in the
beauty of the effect of sun¬
shine, and jn its transforming
influence upon what, in other
circumstances, would be but
an ordinary scene of little
except topographical interest.
It is wonderfully well con¬
veyed, despite a slight degree
of indecision that, perhaps,
may be attributable to a
high magnification of a small
portion of the negative. It
only amounts to a suspicion of a
softening of line, and does not affect
the appeal of the work as a whole,
which is of an extraordinarily high
order, for, over and above the aesthetic
attraction of its effect, there is an
absorbing literary content arising from
the romantic associations suggested
by the ancient character of the dresses
and the nature of the setting.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINE APPARATUS.
Cinematography
October Idyll R. H. ALDER.
The . charm of cinematography
is its ability to convey atmo¬
sphere. The dramatist, prisoned
in the three walls of the stage, must
use cunning tricks of dialogue to indi¬
cate the seasons which the camera¬
man, by a few allusive shots, shows as
part and parcel of his story.
Autumnal settings are ideal for
certain types of films, whether frankly
fictional or descriptive. Having said
that, let us admit that autumn is the
most difficult season to put across !
Autumn’s Shapes.
October is a riot of gay hues and
therefore disheartening to those whose
work is,' at present, limited to mono¬
chrome. Miracles of panchromatism
cannot translate into black-and-white
that thrill of early reds against late
greens. The light, too, is failing ; the
sun casts longer shadows.
A few brief days, however, at the
end of each autumn, give the means of
conveying its inwardness in shape and
not in colour. When the sycamore is
bare the beech is still clothed in russet,
and the contrast between the few
withered leaves of the one and the full
foliage of the other tells its own story.
Not only that, but the holes in
nature’s roof enable us to make the
most of the remnants of summer sun¬
shine which pierce the mists.
Dynamic Types.
These form the static background of
dynamic movement characteristic of
the month. Fallen leaves whirled in
the sudden, impetuous equinoctial
winds are good cinema ; for a gentler
reminder there is the curling grey
smoke rising from the hamlet’s re¬
kindled fires — and burning rubbish !
The farmer turns in the stubble for
the winter frosts, while the smith
roughs the horses’ shoes.
For those who yearn for more
difficult symbols there is the stream in
muddy spate, or the shy squirrel
husbanding a store of nuts against the
famine.
The town-dweller, too, has his oppor¬
tunities. Warm early dusk and gleam¬
ing lights on wet roadways, the almost
deserted parks, the closing " summer
resorts ” — all these provide action
material.
Home Comfort.
And, lest this should seem too sad,
let us dig out the photofloods and fade
out on the first twinkling fireside and
tea — and muffins, harbingers of lazy,
cosy winter. In autumn we realise
anew the joys of that indefinable
English happiness — Home.
Of course, superspeed pan. stock
is essential ; filters and a large-
aperture lens are desirable, but not
absolutely necessary if we recognise
the limitations. Armed with know¬
ledge one may set forth with brave
heart.
. Be war}^ however, about the filters.
To seize the cloud formations a deep
yellow is needed, to hold the red and
green landscape a light tint is useful.
but the morning mists require, if
anything, a blue filter or no filter at
all. With yellow they vanish.
Special Technique.
One of my most cherished posses¬
sions is a piece of light blue cellophane
(no, not for use as a filter itself !) which
came from a Christmas cracker. Used
in conjunction with a yellow filter
it gives to the eye almost exactly the
monochrome rendering that is seen
by panchromatic film through the
filter alone. For autumn shooting
some such aid to vision is well worth
seeking,
An exposure meter is essential —
the change from summer to autumn
is very deceptive. The lighting has
become flatter, though weaker, and the
piles of cumulus sometimes fill the
shadows with unexpected light.
The opening of the hunting season will provide the amateur cinematographer with
endless action subjects that can be rendered both pictorially and dramatically if wanted
for incidents in a picture story.

Constructive Cutting for Cine Amateurs
SKILFUL cutting is to films what
analogy is to the spoken or
written word ; it opens up
windows in the mind.
The purpose of analogy in literature
is to show an agreement or likeness in
certain aspects between things which
are otherwise entirely different. Here
is an example applied to films.
In a British film, featuring Stewart
Rome, between scenes of crowds
hastening to the polling booths on
election day, shots were inserted of
bewildered sheep hastening down a
steep bank with many an anxious
" Baa.”
The audience saw the joke and a
wave of laughter swept over the house.
Many who know the value of good
cutting say little about it, because
they have too often seen what happens
when enthusiastic amateurs get busy
inserting side views of telegraph poles,
speeding up the action by introducing
a host of unusual angles, and obtaining
dizzy movement by linking up entirely
disconnected static shots in quick
By M. A. LOVELL-BURGESS.
and unrelated succession. This is
montage gone mad.
It is important for the amateur to
understand cutting, because cutting
is only another word for construction.
And without a knowledge of film
construction the amateur can make
a straight, photographic record of a
play, but he will never achieve any
of the possibilities inherent in the film.
And what possibilities there are !
Most arts depend for their ultimate
efficapy on the response engendered
by experience, association and imagi¬
nation in the mind of the student.
Words, for instance, are meaning¬
less to the reader unless they conjure
up in his mind certain preconceived
experiences. It is on the pre-sup¬
position of these experiences and
feelings that the writer relies.
Filmic art, although psychological,
is objective rather than subjective.
The film producer has to present
certain scenes in order to tell his
story. He cannot write " sea ” and
be content to awaken in minds a
number of impressions born of ex¬
periences. He must show the sea.
And the whole visual value, and its
emotional content, will depend on
what aspect of the sea — wild, calm,
connection, separating — he ultimately
selects for presentation. And this is
where editing, or cutting, with all
its constructive possibilities, can ban¬
ish the stage convention for ever.
Brilliant technical virtuosity has no
entertainment value apart from human
values. But link the two together,
as when in Anthony Asquith’s ” Tell
England ” a shot of moving train
wheels terminates the sequence where
Fay Compton, keeping a smihng face
before acquaintances, hears, but does
not see, her son’s noisy departure for
the front.
Skilful cutting is rpore possible for
the amateur to-day than for the
professional because sound has de¬
feated the cutters. It is not easy
to prune dialogue. Amateurs can have
it all their own way where cutting
is concerned.
Juvenile Slides, Lanterns and Cine Projeetors
Messrs, ensign, ltd. are to be congratulated on
their continued efforts to provide entertainment for
the youngsters during the forthcoming winter even¬
ings. Alread3^ the adventures of Micke3^ Mouse have been
presented by this firm in the form of miniature and standard
lantern slides and as short reels for i6-mm. projectors. This
year they have extended the programme to include the Walt
Disney story of the ‘‘ Three Little Pigs,” and the firm has
issued a most attractively produced catalogue and price list
with a coloured cover, giving full particulars of all these attrac¬
tions and ‘‘ Safe-Toy ” cinemas. A copy of the list will be-
sent free on application to Ensign, Ltd.

The Amateur Photographer & Cinematographer
. -ANNUAL . -• .
Lantern-Slide Competition
. . . 1934 .
‘VERY reader of The Amateur Photographer who is interested in the making of lantern slides
should participate in “ The A.P.” Annual Lantern-Slide Competition. Not only are the
seven classes comprehensive in their variety of subjects to suit all workers, but inclusion of
slides in “ The A.P.” prize set which circulates throughout the British Isles, can be considered as
the hall-mark of excellence, which every lantern-slide maker should strive for. Each succeeding
year the competition proves increasingly popular, and has come to be regarded as a test of merit in
lantern-slfde production. We hope, therefore, that again this year every lantern-slide maker will
enter the competition. The conditions and awards are set out below. It should be noted that
the awards are made to individual slides and not to sets ; but every competitor can send as many slides into as many classes as he or
she desires. The slides are judged on the screen under the best conditions. After the judging the prize-winning slides, and a
number of others which are selected for purchase, form the exhibition collection which goes on tour to all parts of’the country for a
year or more. Secretaries of photographic societies who have not yet booked the set of “ A.P.” Prize Slides should hasten to do so
and submit alternative dates. This is necessary to enable a complete and expeditious itinerary to be arranged before the slides start on
their journey in November. In the meantime, those who intend entering this competition should note that the closing date for
receiving entries is Wednesday, October 31st.
Classes and Subjects.
Class I. — Landscape with or without figures, sea
subjects and river scenery.
Class II. — Portraiture and figure studies, whether
indoor or outdoor pictures.
Class III. — Architecture, interior and exterior.
Class IV. — Flowers, fruit and other “ StiU-Life
subjects.
Conditions
(1) All classes are open to amateur and professional photo¬
graphers without any restrictions. All slides must measure
3i X 3lin.,andmustbeproperlyspottedforshowinginthelantern.
(2) One silver plaque, one bronze plaque, and four certifi¬

Champion Class, the award will be a mounted and signed exhi¬
bition picture by Mr. F. J. Mortimer, the Editor of The A mateur
Photographer and Cinematographer and Photograms of the Year.
(3) All slides which receive any award will become the
property of The Amateur Photographer and Cinematographer,
and will be sent round amongst the societies and such other
associations as apply for the loan of them. Any other slides
may be selected for circulation in this manner, and will be
paid for at the rate of half a crown each.
(4) Competitors may send any number of slides in any class,
and may be recorded as winning any number of awards ; but
no c ompetitor will actually . receive in the competition more
than one silver plaque, one bronze plaque, and one certificate,
on which all his awards will be recorded. Competitors may
enter in any number of classes.
(5) Each slide must bear the competitor’s name, its title
and its class. With the slides must be sent an envelope con¬
taining the name and full address of the competitor, a list of
V. — Natural history subjects.
VI. — Lantern slides in colour (not hand-
coloured).
Class VI I. — Champion class. Open only to those who
^ have won silver or bronze plaques in

and Awards.
the titles of all the slides he is sending in, and the class in which
such are entered. Particulars as to make of plate, ^exposure,
developer used, etc., and other technical data which may be
of interest for incorporation in the notes which will accompany
the winning slides on their tour among the photographic
societies, should also be given where thought necessary.
(6) A stamped and addressed label (not loose stamps) should
be sent with the slides for their return if unsuccessful ; but in
no circumstances can the Editor or the Publishers accept any
responsibility for slides sent in for competition, nor for their
return ; neither can slides be returned whif h are not accom¬
panied by stamps as above.
{7) Not more than one slide from any one negative can be
admitted, nor may any slide compete which has before won an
award in these competitions.
(8) The last day for receiving is Wednesday, October 31st.
The slides must be well packed and addressed, " Slide
Competition, The Editor, The Amateur Photographer and
Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London,
S.E.i,” and all carriage charges must be prepaid.
(9) In any case of dispute, the competitor agrees to accept
the decision of the Editor of The Amateur Photographer and
Cinematographer as final.

IVEWS AND REVIEWS
^ ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
All amateur photographers are re¬
minded that Summer Time ends on
October 7th.
The Annual Dinner of the Royal
Photographic Society will be held this
year at the Monico Restaurant, Picca¬
dilly Circus, W.i, on Tuesday, October
gth, at 7.15 p.m. Mr. R. H. Lawton
is again in charge of the arrangements,
and tickets may be obtained from him,
price los. 6d. His address is 31 1,
Thorokl Road, Ilford. Tickets may

R.P.S., 35, Russell Square, W.C.i.
At the Camera Club an exhibition of
photographs of outstanding merit and
interest was opened by Lord Dunsany on
September 25th. They are by Pamela
Booth, and every reader of " The A.P.”
who has the opportunity should endea¬
vour to see them. The exhibition is open
on each weekday from ii a.m. to 7 p.m.
until October i6th. Admission is free.
The annual sale of the Camera Co.
commenced on ist October, at 320,
Vauxhall Bridge Road, Victoria, S.W.i.
There are many bargains at very low
prices indeed, and readers who may
find it convenient to examine the stock
will find a visit well worth while.
Readers of " The A.P.” who are in
the Civil Service and are employed in
provincial offices, or in London depart¬
ments in which there is no federated
society, should note that they may join
the Civil Service Portfolios as from the
present month (and thus receive the
last quarterly portfolio for 1934) on
payment of the 1935 subscription of 3s.
This subscription now entitles members
to receive the C.S. Federation quarterly
journal free of charge. The portfolio
membership is now well over 100, and
is representative of all branches and
grades of the service. Details may be
obtained by forwarding a stamped
addressed foolscap envelope (stating
department in which serving) to Mr.
F. MT Chapman, S.E.3, Ministry of
Labour, Whitehall, S.W.i.
The Bradford Photographic Society
is one of the oldest in the country, and
has just started its new session. This
society is, with the Manchester Society,
joint organiser of the Northern Exhibi¬
tion, and its members are well known for
their successes in exhibitions all over
the country. Alex. Keighley has been a
member for over fifty years, and each
of his lectures has been given at Bradford
first. An attractive fixture list has been
prepared, and the society offers excep¬
tional facilities for practical work at
its club-rooms. New apparatus for
portrait work has just been installed.
All readers of ‘‘ The A.P.” residing in
the neighbourhood should join this
society. Beginners are particularly
welcomed. Application to the Hon.
Secretary, Mr. W. Whitehead, 8, Bull-
royd Drive, Bradford, will bring full
particulars.
A new cine society is being formed in
Beckenham, and will be known as the
Foxgrove Amateur Film Club. The
winter season begins this week. Readers
who are interested should write to the
Secretary, Mr. C. Hurrie, at 7, Foxgrove
Road, Beckenham.
With the title ” Taking and Making
Pictures in Winter,” Messrs. Ensign
have just issued a most attractively
illustrated little booklet dealing with
every phase of indoor photography for
the amateur, picture- making by flash¬
bulbs and other forms of artificial
lighting ; enlarging and enlargers ; print¬
making and albums ; lantern slides and
lanterns, and all accessories for home
entertainment are listed. Every reader
should send for a copy ; he is bound to
find many items of interest. It will
be sent free on application to Ensign,
Ltd., 88 and 8g, High Holborn, W.C.i.
A Memorial Eund for the late George
E. Brown has been started as a tangible
expression of regret from the whole
photographic industry. The professional
photographers, dealers, manufacturers
and members of the R.P.S. are support¬
ing the fund, and we hope that all
readers of " The A.P.” may be able to
indicate their appreciation also. Any
contribution which it is considered the
appeal merits should be sent to Mr. J.
Hill, at 104, High Holborn, London,
W.C.I. Cheques should be drawn in
favour of George E. Brown Memorial
Fund, and crossed Westminster Bank.
An attractive handbook well Avritten
and fully illustrated has been issued by
the Coronet Camera Co. for beginners
and others in photography. It is en¬
titled ” Better Photographs,” and the
author is Marcel Natkin. We under¬
stand that a Continental edition of this
book has already had a very large sale.
It is full of useful hints, and the examples
are well chosen. The price is 2S. 6d., and
it is obtainable from the Coronet Camera
Co., 31 1, Summer Lane, Birmingham.
Two more handbooks for miniature
camera workers, dealing respectively with
Colour Photography and Portraiture,
have been issued by the Fomo Publishing
Co., of Ohio. The sole distributors for
these books in this country are Sands
Hunter and Co., of 37, Bedford Street,
Strand, W.C.2, and they form a most
useful series of practical guides. In
particular, the new book on colour
photography for the miniature camera
can be commended as it covers the whole

advanced worker wishing to join should
communicate promptly with the Secre¬
tary, Mr. G. F. Ryman, whose address
is now 20, Ashcroft Road, Cirencester.

legal responsibility for the safely of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied bv a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to repioduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice. Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See " General ” above. {2} Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4I On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ‘ How can I take interiors ? ” or Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. {6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query " or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but caimot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Fixed Focus.
I am commencing photography with a fixed-focus
camera. At what distances should the subjects
be ? A. R. (London.)
When a lens is set at infinity the
nearest point at which an object will be
in focus depends on the focal length of
the lens, and as we do not happen to
know what is the focal length of yours
we cannot answer your question. The
information would almost certainly be
given in the book of instructions which
should accompany the camera. Failing
that, the makers would be able to give
you the information. We may add
that the distance is also affected by the
stop used, the smaller the stop the
nearer being the point at which an
object will be sharply rendered.
Noisy Shutter.
My focal-plane shutter makes a noise like an iron
gate slamming. Is there any way 1 can quiet
it down ? L. C. (Chiswick.)
We know of no formula for dealing
with a shutter that makes a noise like
an iron gate. Many focal-plane shutters
are by no means silent, but as a rule
this is of no practical importance. We
can only suggest that you might put
your question to the makers of the
shutter itself.
Bromide Solution.
How much solution would i oz. of potassium
bromide make ? How many drops should I
use to every ounce of developer for gaslight
prints ? G. A. F. (Kensington.)
We should advise you to dissolve the
ounce of bromide in about 8 oz. of
water and make it up to 9 oz. i dram.
You could then take it that 10 minims
of this solution would contain one grain
of bromide. How much you should
add to a developer would depend upon
the formula ; but, however many
grains were mentioned, you could easily
secure that number by taking ten times
as many minims of the solution.
Copying.
Would you recommend a suitable film and paper
for copying black-and-white engineering draw¬
ings ? N. W. D. (Burton-on-Trent.)
To get good black-and-white results
you must use a process plate or film,
so as to get sufficient density and
contrast. For the same reason the
best paper to employ would be a vigorous
gaslight or bromide.
Making Filter.
Can you tell me how to make green and yellow
filters ? A. F. D. (Sidmouth.)
The question of making colour filters
is not one that can be dealt with briefly.
You- must consult a good reference book
such as the " Dictionary of Photography”
(obtainable from our publishers, price
8s., post free), where the matter occupies
six pages of close print.
Dense Negative.
I gave the enclosed - film the same develop¬
ment as I give to - film, but it is very dense.
Is it over-exposed or over-developed ?
C. C. H. (Preston.)
The film you send is seriously over¬
developed. It does not follow that a
development time for one film is at all
suitable for a different film ; and it is
probable that in the circumstances half
the development time given would
have been ample.
Hectograph Jelly.
Can you give me the formula for the adhesive for
holding bromide paper on the enlarging easel?
E. G. P. (Farnborough.)
A good stationer could probably
supply you with the Hectograph material
ready made. It can be prepared as
follows : Soak 4 oz. of gelatine in 8 oz.
water for 48 hours, stirring at intervals.
Then add this to 14 oz. of glycerine at
200 degrees Fahr., stirring gently until
a smooth mixture free from air-bells is
obtained.
Bleaching Prints.
In bleaching prints for chromium intensification
the shadows do not bleach out. What is the
cause ? Should this method be worked by artifi¬
cial light or daylight ? R. R. (Berne.)
We cannot offer any explanation as
to why the shadows on your prints do
not bleach out, assuming the solution
to be all right. They are, naturally,
the last parts of the image to change,
but their bleaching should only be a
question of sufficient time. It is better
to carry out the whole process of inten¬
sification by redevelopment in diffused
daylight.
Fogged Negatives.
What is the cause of the bars of light on the en¬
closed negatives ? I give particulars of camera,
subject, exposures and stops.
G. W. B. (St. Albans.)
None of the particulars you give has
any bearing whatever on the trouble
with your negatives, which is due to the
fact that you are using a highly sensitive
panchromatic film in a camera the red
window of which is not safe. Light
passes through this window and is
reflected from part of the interior of the
camera on to the film as it is wound.
The only remedy is a light-trap round
the window inside.
Tinting Photographs.
In tinting photographs I find difficulty in laying
on an even tint over a large area. I used glossy
prints which have been hardened. Is there any
way of , overcoming this trouble ?
.4. M. (Manchester.)
We regret that we cannot tell you of
any reliable way out of your difficulty.
In our experience it is practically im¬
possible to lay on a large, even tint on
a glossy paper, especially if it is hardened,
unless it is done by means of an air
brush. A solution of oxgall is recom¬
mended, but even this is by no means
an infallible remedy.
Bewi Meter.
Where can I get instructions for using a Bewi
Junior exposure meter? G. W. C. (Stockport.)
The agents for the Bewi exposure
meters are Messrs. Ensign, Ltd., 88-89,
High Holborn, London, W.C.r, who will
no doubt be able to supply you with the
information.
Competitions.
Where can I obtain a complete list of current
photographic competitions ? R. Q. (Stockton.)
We publish in our weekly list all the
competitions of which we get informa¬
tion, and are not aware of a more
complete list anywhere.
Coating Paper.
I have recently used a prepared solution to make
P.O.P., and now wish to make my own bromide
paper ; could you give me a formula ?
I. W. F. (Fulham.)
It is quite out of the question for you
to attempt to coat paper with a bromide
emulsion ; it is a highly skilled and
technical job, and very different from
sensitising paper to get a daylight print.
Thermometer Scales.
What is the rule for converting Centigrade degrees
into Fahrenheit ? E. M. (London.)
Multiply the degrees Centigrade by
9, divide by 5, and add 32.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

HAND
CAMERAS
By R. Child Bayley
An outstanding feature of this
book, which makes a special
appeal to all amateur photo¬
graphers, is a number of separately
printed plates, all from hand camera
negatives by the author. These are
selected to show the very wide range
of subjects accessible to the snap-
shotter, from pure landscape to
tele-photographic portraiture.
Though primarily written for the
beginner, “ Hand Cameras ” con¬
tains much of interest to the ad-
\’anced worker, and should he in the
working library of all who would
attain to the highest degree of
artistic excellence in their work.

THE CAMERA THAT DOES THE FOCUSSING
Vuc strides have been made In the technical construaion of ron*fi!m cameras during the past few years,
and those competent to )udje of modern roll-film camera achievement will give first place to the Zeiss Ikon
Super Ikonta. The one great drawback always urged against roll-film cameras by the serious amateur
photographer— that one had to depend upon estimation of distance for one's focussing — has been removed,
it can be said with truth that the coupled-wUh-lens disance meter employed in the Super Ikonta is so
p^recise that It reaches a higher standard of accuracy than even reflex or ground-glass screen focussing.
Defective eyesight prevents many people from focussing correctly upon a ground-glass screen, and further,
the coarseness of grain of most ground glass dees not help accurate focussing. When one l^ks through
the Super Ikonta distance meter one observes cwo distinct images. By superimposing these two images the
subject is focussed with an accuracy Impossible by any other means— the above reproduction is an example.

WEDNESDAY, October ioth, 1934.
IN a recent beginners’ article the
desirability of joining a photo¬
graphic society was emphasised.
It was mentioned at the same time
that we were always prepared to give
information, when required, as to the
most accessible societies in any gi\^en
spot. The immediate result was a
small avalanche of letters from all
quarters asking for such information,
which was promptly given. The
inevitable conclusion is that many
societies cannot be taking effective
steps to make their existence known
to photographers in their areas.
We are aware that, on the other
hand, there are some societies which
neglect no opportunity for publicity,
and these naturally have the largest
and most active membership. We
may add that the most complete
list of photographic societies, in¬
cluding postal clubs, with informa¬
tion brought right up to date, is
to be found in each yearly volume
of Photograms of the Year.
Filtered Out.
How grateful one feels, studying
one’s own photographs and those of
others, that what has been brought
away from the scene of action has
been only that which was pleasing or
quaint to the eye, and that which
was disagreeable to the nose or to
the ear has been eliminated. That
is one great service which the camera
performs. Those who look at
photographs sometimes realise that
certain of them have entailed risk
or patience, but they seldom realise
that many more have involved an
experience which, while not danger¬
ous, was unpleasant. The photo¬
graph of the charming canal in the
Dutch city gives no hint of its
effluvium ; the fine seascape can be
viewed without encountering the
stinging spray and the buffeting

wind against which the photographer
had to stand. Recentl}^ our wander¬
ings took us through the city of
Salisbury on market day. The sheep
market was full of possible pictures,
but the pictures themselves, when
taken, will show nothing of the
shouting and pushing and scrambling
which accompany a sheep auction,
not to speak of the pitiful bleating
which never dies away. Those who
just look at photographs ought to
be grateful for the sight of some¬
thing which is much more pleasant,
looked at in that way, than it ever
is in reality.
Ordered Off.
How modest our public men are
growing. Every day the newspapers
chronicle the ordering off of some
photographer who has invaded the
precincts of the great. Now it is
Mr. Winston Churchill, painting at
a Mediterranean villa, who, spying
a camera-man in the grounds,
pursues him with uplifted paint¬
brushes out of the gates, even as our
first parents were driven from Eden
with the two-edged sword. Here
we have a clear case in which the
tool of the painter has proved itself
the better weapon. On the very
same day Signor Mussolini was at
his army manoeuvres. A photogra¬
pher “ in the twinkling of an eye ”
has focussed his lens on the Duce
at an awkward moment, and the
twinkling of an eye is followed in
this instance by the sound of the
last trump, and the photographer,
when he regains consciousness, finds
himself hopelessly out of focus.
Modesty grows apace. Very soon,
if this goes on, we shall have for¬
gotten what our public men are
like, and then perhaps we shall fail
to esteem them. Or, perhaps, es¬
teem them all the more.

Taken Unawares.
“ I will not be photographed while
I am eating,” says Signor Mussolini,
and we cannot blame him. Few
men — and fewer women — look well
when engaged in the process of
mastication. The lifting of the glass
may be a charming pose, but the
lifting of the fork never. Even
though table manners are now more
refined than in the days of Henry
VIII, d la Charles Laughton, most
men might be more gracefully pic¬
tured than when conveying morsels
of food to their mouths. A new
terror at public banquets — or at
least not very new, for its origin is
said to go back for a dozen years — is
the little flash camera with which
a merciless journalist picks out a
principal guest, approaches him
stealthily, and takes a picture. The
victim is often not aware of anything
unusual, except a momentary sparkle
in the air, which he may put down
to a peculiar iridescence in the
champagne, but in the papers next
day his image appears, and he
realises the penalty of having some
reputation. A man who was in
charge of this apparatus at a recent
banquet entertained the Press table
throughout the evening with an
account of his exploits. He ap¬
peared to think them meritorious.
Immunity.
Photographers whose work is
sometimes the sport of temperature
changes will gasp with envy of the
workers in the newly constructed
research laboratories of the Massa¬
chusetts Institute of Technology.
The entire spectroscopic laboratory
and several of the research rooms
are totally enclosed in thick layers
of cork for heat insulation, and the
insulation is said to be so perfect
that the most violent changes of
temperature outside will not affect
the temperature inside the rooms
by more than one degree in about
three months. Here is immunity
indeed ! Let the srm broil as it
will, or the icy blasts of winter do
their worst. Special temperature
controls and air-conditioning ar¬
rangements are provided, and the
same care is taken to minimise
vibrations arising within the build¬
ing or transmitted from outside.
This must be a researcher’s paradise.
The funds for the laboratories were
provided by the late Mr. George
Eastman, of Kodak fame, who,
unfortunately, has not lived to see
their completion.
And this is Painting.
That popular play which ran for
so long at St. James’s, entitled, “The
Late Christopher Bean,” turns upon
the values of pictures, and lets the
audience into some sordid secrets,
among others the fact that there
have been more Corots produced
since Corot’s death than there were
before. We learnt from the play that
the despised works of a young artist
who died ten years previously
suddenly become of enormous value,
and these works do actually appear
on the stage. But, unfortunately,
only the back of the frame is shown
to the audience, or the canvases are
rolled up like carpets ; apparently
the blaze of the pictures themselves
would be too much for the stalls.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
The Compur Shutter.
In working a Compur shutter would setting it between two
marks give an intermediate speed ? Is any damage done by
altering the speed after the shutter is set ? E. H. G. {Cardiff.)
The above question was dealt with in the “ Replies ” page
of the issue of September 19th, and the reply we gave called
forth several letters from readers who were in doubt as to
whether they were using their Compur shutters properly or
otherwise.
We regret that part of the reply was not strictly correct,
as we suggested that the shutter should not be set for speeds
intermediate to those marked on the dial. This is true for
many shutters of similar type, but only partly true in the
case of modern Compur shutters.
On this point the instructions issued with the shutter state ;
The speeds range continuously from i to i/iooth sec., and
may be set to any intermediate value. Any such intermediate
speed as i/75th between i/5oth and i/iooth sec. is thus ob¬
tainable. It cannot be set to any definite value between
i/iooth and the maximum speed of the shutter, neither may
this be done between B and i second.”
It is thus evident that intermediate speeds can be obtained
over part of the range, where the shutter is working on the
same gear wheel. Even then, however, the exact value of
such speeds must be doubtful within certain limits, and as the
total difference between i/5oth and i/iooth is only i/iooth of
a second, it is doubtful whether there can be any practical
advantage in attempting to split it.
The other part of the answer given was to the effect that
it is possible to alter the speed dial after the shutter has
been set, and it was this that caused anxiety to certain readers,
who had instructions issued with some Kodak cameras. These
stated r " See that the shutter is set to the correct speed
before moving the tension lever. If the ring is moved after
the tension lever is already set, especially between i/iooth
and i/25oth of a second, the shutter is liable to be damaged.”
On this point the maker’s instructions support our own
view, being as follows : " In the ordinary way it does not
matter whether you set the speed or the tension first. It is
better, however, when using the highest speed to set the ring
before the shutter is tensioned, as setting the ring to this speed
after the shutter has been tensioned is rather difficult.”
It will be observed that it is definitely stated that there is
no objection to altering the speed ring after the shutter is
set for speeds up to i/iooth sec. ; and that even for the higher
speeds this is only ” rather difficult,” and not absolutely
dangerous.
We hold, therefore, that, except in the detail first mentioned,
the information we gave was correct. One reader who wrote
on the matter stated that we were wrong on every point from
beginning to end ; all the others cheerfully acknowledged the
almost infallible accuracy of the information we offer our
readers. Needless to say, we do not claim absolute infallibility,
but we do our best to answer in a reliable and helpful manner
the many thousands of questions that reach us.
There is one other point about the Compur shutter that did
not arise in the original question, but to which we take this
opportunity of drawing attention. On the speed dial is a
curved arrow indicating the direction in which the wheel
should be turned to alter the speeds, and the suggestion thus
made should be observed. We may further add that, in our
own opinion, this shutter, properly used, is one of the most
accurate and reliable in existence. That is certainly our
own experience.

he Chromium Intensifier
It is possible that the photographer may find some of his holiday
negatives of insufficient density for the printing paper he wishes
to use. The chromium intensifier is both simple and safe, pro¬
vided that the essentials indicated in this article are observed.
WITH the range of modern
printing papers the photo¬
grapher has less need of
intensifiers than formerly, but there
are occasions when it is necessary to
add to the density of a negative in
order to meet the needs of a particu¬
lar paper which the photographer
wishes to use.
The intensifier which was worked
out by the late C. Welborne Piper,
and known as’ the chromium inten¬
sifier, is one of the best for amateur
work. It has the advantage of
being safe, with ordinary care, its
action is under control, and may be
repeated if the first application is
insufficient. Further, there is no
scheduled poison in the formula.
The purpose of an intensifier, it
may be well to point out, is to add
to the density of a negative. It
will not bring into evidence shadow
details which have not been formed
by light action, and there are no
magic properties as some photo¬
graphers seem to believe.
If for any reason a negative has
been under-developed the use of
this intensifier will put matters right.
First Essentials.
The first essential is a properly
fixed and well-washed negative.
The practice recommended of leaving
plates and films in the fixing bath
for at least half as long again as
the time taken for the visible and
unexposed silver emulsion to dis¬
appear will be a guarantee that in¬
tensification may be proceeded with.
If an imperfectly fixed negative
is intensified brown stains will appear
that are practically impossible to
remove. In cases of doubt as to the
effectiveness of fixation, as is the
case with negatives developed at the
D. & P. establishments during a
rush period, it is a good plan to
refix the negatives for ten minutes
in a clean acid fixing 'bath, as a
preliminary. This must be followed
by a thorough washing. Most of the
failures with this intensifier are
due to neglect of these essentials.
The intensifier may be bought
ready prepared, or the photographer
may use the following formula :
A.
Potassium bichromate i oz.
Water . . . . . . 20 oz.
B.
Hydrochloric acid . . i oz.
Water . . . . . . 10 oz.
The bleaching bath is made by
taking i oz. of A and i oz. of B,
and adding 6 oz. of water.
This will give a definite increase
of density throughout all tones of
the image. The increase of density
can, however, be regulated by the
proportions of the bleacher. For
instance, if the solution is made up
with I oz. of A, I oz. of B and 6 oz.
of water the intensification of the
image will be much greater.
If the proportions are i oz. of A,
2 oz. of B, and 6 oz. of water, the
intensifying action will be much less.
Bleaching.
In the case of a dry negative a
preliminary soaking in water for
ten minutes is advisable. This en¬
sures even action. The operation
should be carried out in subdued
light, as the bichromate is slightly
sensitive to light.
The bleacher should be poured
over the negative and the dish gently
rocked. The image will speedily
bleach to a buff tint, but the opera¬
tion should be carried on for about
two minutes. The negative must
then be thoroughly washed until it
is quite free from the yeUow bichro¬
mate stain. This wiU take from
ten to thirty minutes, and the
negative must be protected from
strong light the while. Too much
light action at this stage may make
it difficult to obtain full density on
redevelopment.
If it is necessary to shorten the
time of washing the yellow stain
can be almost instantly removed by
immersing the negative in a solu¬
tion of potassium metabisulphite. A
short washing should follow, and
redevelopment may be commenced.
The latter operation should be
carried out in daylight. Any non¬
staining developer may be used,
but amidol is best for the purpose.
Care should be taken to develop to
a sufficient degree, that is, to allow
the operation to go on for at least
five minutes. We have known this
process condemned by photographers
who have failed to realise that the
image darkens over almost im¬
mediately the developer is applied,
but the full effect is gradually
obtained.
If it is thought that further density
is necessary the process may be
repeated, after a short washing to
remove the developer from the film.
For a second intensification, amidol
is specially recommended.
If further intensification is re¬
quired fresh bleaching solution
should be used.
Printing Quality.
This method of intensification
should result in an image of slightly
warm black colour of greatly in¬
creased printing value. The deeply
stained yellow-brown negatives that
are sometimes seen as the result of
this process are caused by ineffective
washing between bleaching and re¬
development.
While these stains do not affect
the printing quality of the negative
if they are even, the latter condition
is not always the case, and the
bath of potassium metabisulphite
is an effective preventative, and
its use is advocated.
Intensifying Prints.
It is not generally known that
the chromium intensifier can be used
for improving weak bromide prints
or those of bad colour. The pro¬
cedure is the same as for negatives,
but the formula should be A, i oz. ;
B, 2 oz. ; water 6 oz.
Amidol should be used for the
redevelopment. The method can
be applied to any bromide print,
provided it is not already too dark,
for the purpose of obtaining very
fine black tones.

for their use is

upon a judicious
choice of suitable
viewpoint, and the
right time of day.
This choice of
A shadow thrown by a gate gives

The tranquillity of this scene is assisted by

viewpoint is the most important
consideration when photographing a
subject with much foreground, for
it is rarely that some part of the expanse
will not have some object which, even
if undesirable itself as an addition to the
picture, will cast a shadow, and so
break up the monotony and make an
interesting base to support the main
theme in the picture.
Suitable shadows may be thrown
across the foreground only at certain
times of the day, according to the
position of the sun. One must decide,
therefore, if the subject is worth the
trouble, and may conveniently be
visited on various occasions, upon the
time when the shadows will be of
most advantage to the picture.
Shadows may serve a variety of
purposes. They may be used as
lines leading up to, and thus stressing
the main item of the picture. Horizon¬
tal ones will emphasize the tranquillity
of a scene. A carefully chosen mass
of shadow may give support
to an item in the picture in
order to prevent any “ top-
heavy ” effect. In every case
their selection should serve as
a means of improving the
composition, which may prob¬
ably turn a commonplace
record into a beautiful picture.
When heavy shadows are
in the foreground the photo¬
grapher must take particular
notice of that old maxim —
“ expose for the shadows.”
If they are under-exposed
the long they will appear dull and
lifeless, their usefulness in the
foreground being offset by
their degrading effect on the work
as a whole.
It is for this reason that panchro¬
matic films or plates and of the modern
high-speed variety should be used
when dealing with heavy shadows.
This particularly applies at the
present time of year when the best
cast shadows occur late in the day,
and the light is inclined to yellow.
A full exposure should be given in
any case to get shadow detail.
In order that the high-lights may
not become blocked and opaque owing
to the increase of exposure for the
foreground, development should be
slightly curtailed, say four-fifths of
normal time. A thin negative will
result, but of perfect printing and
enlarging quality, providing a suitable
grade of paper is chosen . On this poi nt
it may be mentioned that a common
error is to use a too-contrasty paper
which makes the shadows over-strong
and heavy.
IT is surprising how many photo¬
graphers will mar an otherwise
beautiful subject by lack of
attention to the foreground. One
is asked to admire a photograph ;
the subject is very pleasing — a row
of ancient thatched cottages — the
technique is perfect, but the picture
is not restful, for the eye keeps roving
from the cottages over an expanse of
plain, uninteresting foreground, not
knowing where to rest, and continually
distracted from the beauty of the main
subject by this monotonous
stretch of space in the
composition.
There are many ways of
providing an interesting fore¬
ground when figures are un¬
available or out of keeping
with the subject, e.g., mak¬
ing footprints in snow, throw¬
ing a stone into water to
make ripples, choosing a view¬
point giving a shrub, a bit
of railing or shadows in the
foreground.
These few notes and ac¬
companying photographs are
intended to show what good
use may be made of shadows
The patch of shadow in the left bottom
corner is here used to balance the heavier
part of the picture on the right-hand side.

ELECTRICIAN
Electrical apparatus used in
amateur photography is confined
mainly to that pertaining to
lighting in some form or another. In
the amateur studio, for instance, tem¬
porary lights have to be " rigged up ”
and dismantled, so that an elementary
knowledge of practical electric wiring is
essential. Without this knowledge, there
is a very real danger of ".short-circuits,”
personal electric shocks and even fire.
Fuses.
Before adding any electrical apparatus
to an existing circuit the fuses should
be examined to see that they are heavy
enough to carry the extra current.
This applies not only to the fuses con¬
trolling this particular circuit, but to the
main fuses also.
The maximum safe working current of
the usual sizes of household fuse wires
is given in the following tables.

Now suppose that lamps, or other
apparatus, of a total of 1,000 watts are
being installed, and the supply voltage
is 250. 1,000 divided by 250=4 amps.
A number 20 lead-tin or number 34
copper wire is therefore suitable. On
a loo-volt supply, the amps would be
10, and a number 26 copper fuse wire
would be required.
It is advisable to use the lead-tin fuse
wire for the smaller currents, and the
copper wire for those above, say, 8 amps.
Flexible Insulated Wires.
When using high wattage lamps, it
should be noted that the ordinary thin
" flex ” (i.e., the thin cord used for
table lamps, etc.), will probably be too
light to carry the current. Good sub¬
stantial " flex ” such as is supplied for
electric irons, or small radiators, should
be used. Alternatively, several " flex-
ibles ” can be connected into the one
plug. If any doubt is experienced, an
electrician should be consulted.
For total wattages over 200 or 300,
the "flex” should be connected to a
wall plug. If connected to a lampholder
adapter, the lamp-holder springs may
lose their temper and cease to function.
Finally, all flexible wires must be in
good condition, both externally, and as
regards the condition of the rubber
insulation. Otherwise, short-circuits,
shocks, or fire may result.
Fittings.
All portable fittings such as switches,
lampholders, etc., should be of the " all-
insulated ” type, to prevent danger of
shock. A ny switches in the dark-room also
should definitely be of this type.
An exception to this will probably be
the enlarger. Most of the newer en¬
largers are made of metal, in direct
electrical connection with the metal
lampholder. In this case, a triple flex
should, if possible, connect to a " three-
pin ” plug, the third wire being an
" earth ” wire. It is connected to the
metal case of the enlarger and to the
" earth ” pin of the plug.
The switch for the enlarger (or, indeed,
any apparatus) should be connected in
the " phase ” or "live ” wire, to ensure
that the enlarger is " dead ” when the
switch is " off.” An electrician will
decide whether this is so in a few minutes.
Electric fittings, or apparatus of any
kind, should never be touched with wet
or damp hands. This is a real danger
in the dark-room, where it is so easy
to switch on or off the light with a
finger wet from immersion in a solution
or washing bath. This point cannot
be too strongly emphasized.
It is also safer not to touch a metal
switch, or other apparatus, when stand¬
ing on a stone floor, or when touching
metal pipes, etc.
Lamps.
The modern " half-watt ” or gas-
filled lamp attains a very high tempera¬
ture, and must be kept clear of all paper,
fabrics, or combustible material.
A lamp designed for a certain voltage
must not be connected to a supply of
a higher voltage, although the reverse
is perfectly safe.
If the enlarger ventilation be reduced,
the lamp (or lamps) will have a much
shorter life, owing to the higher tem¬
perature it will attain.
Radiators.
Luminous radiators should not be
used in the dark-room, or in any position
where water or other liquid may be
spilt on to them.
If an electric heater is required for the
dark-room, the ideal is the enclosed
tubular type. This is quite inexpensive ;
it can be obtained in any suitable length ;
spilt liquids cannot reach the elements ;
the case can be properly earthed ; and
it can be in commission when the fastest
plate is being developed.
Radiators larger than 600 watts
should not be connected to a " lighting ”
plug, unless it is definitely known that
the wiring to the plug is sufficiently
heavy. The specially wired " heating ”
plug should be used.
Connecting Up.
Several lampholders can be wired
thus. The lampholders are then said
to be wired in " parallel ” {Fig. i).
Pig- I.
“ Series ” wiring is shown thus, but
this will almost never be used by the
amateur photographer {Fig. 2).

Take care to see that the insulation

Waterloo Bridge, before the trouble began.
WATERLOO BRIDGE is coming down apace ;
soon it will be no more. Rennie’s master¬
piece will be a fading memory. Photo¬
graphers will say to themselves, “ Whr'
didn’t I get a series of photographs of the demolition
while I had the chance ? ” Well, it is not too late now ;
but hurry !
Apart from the record aspect of such photographs,
there are many good pictorial compos,itions to be secured.
The complete bridge before the present trouble started
was always a fine subject for the camera, and many
exhibition pictures
were made of it from
different points of
view not on the bridge
itself.
These points of
view are still avail¬
able, as one of the
illustrations herewith
demonstrates. The
fact that the struc¬
ture is in course of
demolition adds va¬
riety to the outline,
and many good shots
can be taken from
various points on
either side of the
river. It is well worth
an afternoon to stroll
round and find these
viewpoints ; there are

DEPTH OF FOCUS.
I HAVE .used the expression “ depth of focus ” above
because it has come into general use ; but a more
correct term is “ depth of definition.” In either case
this is what is meant ; If we focus a lens accurately on an
object at a certain distance, other objects, both nearer and
farther, will also be sharp ; and the distance from the
nearest to the farthest sharp object is the “ depth of
focus ” in that particular case.
Strictly speaking, the sharpness of dehiiition is at its
best only at the distance focussed upon, and gradually
deteriorates as objects are placed nearer or farther. We
have therefore to decide on some standard of definition.
To what extent may an object be ‘‘ out of focus ” ?
We can imagine that we have focussed on a small bright
light at a great distance, and that we have to use a magni¬
fying glass to examine its image on the focussing screen.
It is seen as a minute sharp “ point ” of light. The least
change of focus blurs it ; and we may suppose that the
tiny, sharp point has become i/iooth of an inch across.
Such a ” circle of confusion ” was once considered per¬
missible ; but if the image were much enlarged we should
get a ‘‘ blob ” instead of a clear-cut point.
With modern enlargements from tiny negatives such a
circle of confusion will not do at all ; and we have to insist
that the “point” shall not be more than i /200th or
even i /300th of an inch in diameter. It is the difference
in the standard of definition thus decided upon that leads
to the discrepancies in the distances laid down in various
depth-of-focus tables.
Once we decide on the allowable amount of diffusion in
our negatives we can proceed to work out some useful figures
about focussing and depth of definition, and these figures
will vary according to the focal length of the lens, and the
stop used.
The first and most useful thing to find is what is called
the “ hyper-focal distance.” This is the distance on which
to focus the lens so that we get the greatest depth of de¬
finition, giving everything sharp (to the decided standard)
from a certain distance to infinity. In fixed-focus cameras,
and in most with a focussing scale, the lens is set for this
h3^per-focal distance, and not for true infinity.
You must not be alarmed, as so many are, if I give a
“ formula ” for finding the hyper-focal distance. It may
be set down thus ;
(F2xC)^f/
That looks rather mathematical, but it is as easy as possible.
F stands for the focal length of the lens in inches ; and
“ squaring ” it is to multiply it by itself. C is the denom¬
ination of the fraction representing the circle of confusion
(i/ioo, 1/200, i/25oth, etc.), and f/ is the number of the
stop (f/4.5, f/8, f/i6, etc.).
To take an example. We have a 3-in. lens, and we decide
on a circle of confusion of i/20oth of an inch. On what
distance should we focus the lens at f/8 to get the best
range of definition ?
(3 X 3 X 200) -^8t=i,8oo -^8 =225 in. =18 ft. 9 in.
If we focus carefully on an object exactly 18 ft. 9 in. from
the lens everything from half that distance (9 ft. 4^ in.) will
be sharp, to the extent that any “ point ” will not measure
more than i /200th of an inch in diameter.
Suppose now we have a lo-in. lens at f/4. We shall then
get ;

(10 X 10 X 200) -^4 =20,000 -f-4 =5,000 in. =416 ft. 8 in.
So that the nearest sharp point will be 208 ft. 4 in. away.
If we worked out several examples we should find that
the shorter the focus of the lens, and the smaller the stop,
the nearer would begin the range of sharp definition ; and
the contrary.
After this, anyone with ‘a fixed-focus camera should be
able to work out the nearest p.oint at which good definition
begins for each stop in the lens. This should certainly
be done, so as to avoid including any object that is too
near the lens to be rendered with sufficient sharpness.
The little chaps in the illustrations were much too close
to the camera to come within the range of good definition
if the lens had been set for the hyper-focal distance. Let
us work this distance out, the lens being a 6-in., and the
stop f/8.
(6 X 6 X 200) -f- 8 =7,200-^8 =900 in. =75 ft.
Focussed at 75 ft. nothing would have been sharp nearer
than 37 ft. 6 in., and the figures were only about a foot
from the lens.
In Fig. I, the gnomes were all in a row, and at f/8 were
all sharp. (By the way, the figures themselves are not
very clear-cut, but. they were the best I could lay my hands
on at the moment.) In Fig. 2 gnome A is where he was,
gnome B about 2 in. back, and gnome C about 4 in. back.
At f/8 A is still sharp, B is fuzzy, and C is worse. In
Fig. 3 the lens, still at f/8, has been focussed on B. Now
both A and C are fuzzy, A being a little worse than C.
In Fig. 4 the lens is not focussed exactly on any one figure,
and has been stopped down so that A, B and C are all
as sharp as in Fig. i.
I must leave till next week the method of finding the

THOSE HOLIDAY NEGATIVES
During the holiday season every
year many thousands of films
must be exposed by amateur
photographers, who, upon their return
home, put them away until further
prints may be needed from them.
But the question is, how are they
put away ?
Very often about a dozen or more
are stuffed into an envelope and put
away for " safety ” ; but in the
majority of cases the whole output
of holiday negatives is shut away
in a drawer (or drawers) without any
protection at all. The result is that
after an extensive search for a certain
negative, it either cannot be found,
or if it is unearthed, it is generally so
scratched and kinked that it has to
be destroyed.
The solution to this problem of being
able to find any given negative at a
moment’s notice, free from abrasions,
is to start a filing and indexing system.
This takes up very little time if
negatives are filed and indexed as
they are made.
Negative albums offer a compact
form of storage for films, but a rather
expensive one ; the cost of filing one
hundred quarter-plate negatives is
about four shillings and sixpence,
while by adopting the system outlined
below it is possible to file over four
hundred for the same money.
A wooden box to serve as a filing
cabinet is the first thing to be ob¬
tained, and this can be home-made ;
the dimensions will depend on the
size of the negatives, A good size
for quarter-plates is 7X5X3^ in. ;
this, will hold about five hundred films.
As these stand in an upright position
some device will have to be fitted to
prevent them falling over — a piece of
wood sliding in a groove is best.
The only items that have to be
bought are a moderate-sized address

book and a packet of transparent
negative envelopes. Each envelope
is marked on its top edge with a
consecutive number, a negative is
slipped within and stood in its proper
place in the box. An entry of the
subject is then made under its appro¬
priate letter in the book.
Supposing one of the negatives was
of the Tower Bridge, and its number
was 7, an entry would be made under
“ T ” somewhat as follows : " Tower
Bridge, 7.” It could also be indexed
under “ Bridge.” In a month or so
there might be four negatives of
bridges, and the entry under " B ”
might run : 7, 16, 34, 115. By taking
these four negatives from the file the
most suitable one can be selected for
the purpose in hand.
One last word of warning. Always
see that a negative is replaced in its
correct position in the file, otherwise
chaos will result.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
Mr. JOHN
ERITH.
I AST year when I rashly agreed to explain to the
members of the Croydon Camera Club ‘ How I
make my Exhibition Pictures,’ a voice from the
back of the audience informed me that it would be more
interesting if I would explain why I made them. This was
something of a poser, but I replied that if I had not done
so, I should have been sticking straws in my hair before
now. Most of the audience at once expressed the opinion
that the talk would have been much more entertaining
if I had not made any exhibition pictures ; and after a
bit of a dog-fight I was pressed for an explanation of my
statement.
The reason that most professional photographers make
pictures for exhibition is two-fold. Firstly, because they have
to make most of their pictures to please other people,
so that it is a necessity sometimes to make a portrait
entirely to please themselves. (I believe that at
the Croydon Camera Club I further explained that
one of my most successful pictures was made as
a reaction from having to photograph a spoilt
child with cauliflower ears and protruding teeth.)
Secondly, by sending his best work to the leading
salons, the photographer is able to judge whether
his pictures are up to international standard.
" When pictures are rejected, the photographer
first grouses loud and long, then condemns the
selection committee, and finally studies the offend¬
ing print carefully to see what is wrong with it.
Often he finds technical or artistic faults which
make him wonder how on earth he ever liked the
thing ; and occasionally the judges have been at
fault, and the picture is accepted when sent to
other equally important salons.
“As to how I make my exhibition pictures, I
have no revolutionary secrets to convey. Most of
them are made in my studio, by half-watt light,
on Eastman Portrait panchromatic films. The
negatives usually include more of the subject than
I wish to use in the finished picture, and a contact
print is made and trimmed carefully to secure the
best composition. Finally, an enlarged print is
made by projection, and then the picture is put
away for about six months. If at the end of this
time I still like it, it goes to the exhibition ; if
not, to the waste-paper basket. I usually make
about thirty pictures to please myself during the
year, and roughly two-thirds of this number find
their way into the exhibitions. Although I have
exhibited in different parts of the world, I concen¬
trate on the exhibitions at home.
“ Having been trained at one of the principal
London Art Schools, I naturally believe that it is
advisable for a photographer to have studied
drawing from the antique and from life, and to have
a rough knowledge of composition, if his work is
to be consistently successful. If more photo¬
graphers had this knowledge, the selection com¬
mittees would be spared a good deal of eyestrain,
and photographers themselves much wasted effort.”

That there is a merit and satis¬
faction about a subject which
is well composed and makes up
well no one would deny, but it does
seem as though, in most photographic
circles, composition is given such a
degree of importance, so dispropor¬
tionate to its actual place in the scheme
of things, that it becomes nothing
more or less than a distracting bogy.
Composition's Province.
As far as pictorial photography is
concerned, its province is no more than
so to arrange the elements of which
the subject is composed, its masses,
lines, and light and shade, that they
convey a sense of order, and, in so
doing, to enable the pictorial motive
to be intelligibly displayed.
Viewed in a common-sense way, that
is all the art of composition amounts to.
If a subject looks right, it probably is
right, whether it has been deliberately
composed or not ; but, instead of
looking upon the arrangement of the
composition in a simple sort of way
such as this, a lot of unnecessary
mystery has been attached to it ;
it has been hedged about with com¬
plicated rules ; divided into innumer¬
able forms ; and all sorts of fantastic
and impracticable formula3, mathe¬
matic and diagrammatic, have been
introduced under the guise of providing
a working system. None of these
have more than an academic interest,
if that, and certainly do not approach
in usefulness that feeling for order
and good taste which all of us possess
to a greater or less degree.
If it does not happen to be innate,
it can be acquired and developed as
far as necessary, but composition is,
not at all the difficult thing to under¬
stand that many would have us
believe ; nor is it essential that any
considerable study should be made of
the theories and rules laid down in
the textbooks and elsewhere.
Practical Application.
Even if these rules are intelligible
— and, in many cases, they are not —
their application in practical work is
often a sheer impossibility, and, where
reference is made in these columns
to any particular form or any specified
position, it is only with the idea of
indicating or conveniently describing
the method whereby the required
sense of order has been introduced.
Many people have different con¬
ceptions of order. There is plenty
of room for individual opinion, but,
all the same, there is a standard which
is acceptable to the majority, and it
is pretty obvious, regarded in this
way, that, to create a sense of order,
there must be some sort of arrange¬
ment in definite order, and that the
first step towards its establishment is
the inclusion of an element that is chief
in importance and first in that order.
Having regard to the way in which
photographs are made, i.e., in a
comparatively fractional space of time,
it is scarcely possible, except with
classes of work of the nature of still
life, to make a composition, or to
build it up, around a prominent fea¬
ture in the way adopted by the
draughtsman or painter ; but it is
possible, by selection, so to choose the
subject and place it on the plate or
film that one element is of supreme
importance and the rest subordinate.
The Centre of Interest.
The group of trees in No. 4 of the
prints reproduced on the opposite
page — “ June,” by H. O. S. Bedgood —
is the most prominent feature in the
subject. Besides, there is nothing but
the sky as a setting, and a foreground
with a hint of distance, neither of
which approaches the aforesaid trees
in significance.
It is apparent, therefore, that the
first requirement towards the creation
of a good composition has been satis¬
fied, for, in a simple sort of thing like
this, the establishment of the one ,
feature as the supreme attraction, or
the centre of interest, causes the other
elements to fall into a natural sequence,
the foreground being secondary and the
sky subordinate]to that. The order is ap¬
parent and the composition acceptable.
The position of the trees in relation
to the boundaries of the print, it is
true, is a factor of some moment, but
this, again, is a matter that is governed
by common sense. No other position
would serve as well. If they were
put nearer the right-hand edge, there
would be the suggestion that they
were not sufficiently ‘‘ in ” the pic¬
ture ; if they were in the centre, the
arrangement would seem stiff and
formal ; and if they were more over to
the left, there would be a feeling that
the trees were inclining the wrong way.
Lack of Concentration.
Similarly, the group in No. 2,
“ Leading Hay,” by W. B. Gibson ;
the tree boles in No. 3, “ By the River,”
by A. Robinson ; and the splash of
sunlight under the bridge in No. i,
“ The Old Schoolhouse,” by Michael
Wilkinson, form elements which exer¬
cise a supreme attraction in each case.
In No. 5, “ Bournemouth Pines,” by
Harold Bullock, the reverse obtains,
for, of the many pine trees, not one
can be regarded as exerting a pull
that is stronger than that of the others.
The impression that is conveyed is
one of a lack of concentration follow¬
ing upon an absence of any sense of
order. If one of the trees, or two or
three closely grouped together, stood
out from the rest so that their supre¬
macy was unquestionable, order, to
some extent, would be established,
and the composition would assume a
satisfactory form ; but, in the present
scheme of things, the interest that
should attach to either one — or a
group — is spread over too great a
number and dissipated.
A like suggestion arises in the case
of No. 6, ” The River Dart,” by D.
Swinson, but the lack of concentration,
here, rather arises from the inability
of any one item to assume any sig¬
nificance at all than from a surplus
of points of attraction.
The First Principle.
What is needed is something that,
either by its physical prominence,
brilliance or depth of tone, or a
combination of them, will serve as the
principal point of attraction.
A tree, a splash of light, or a figure
would do, and, with that, the rest
of the subject would fall into place.
Its position would have to be studied,
and somewhere about one inch from
the left, near the rocks, would fit in
with the rest of the scene quite well.
Its effect would be to pull the com¬
position together, and provide it with
the feeling for order that is so necessary.
The need, in any subject, for a chief
item may not be apparent at first,
but it will become so very soon, and
it is a sound practice to seek it as
the first principle in arranging a
composition. " Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
THE BOW,” hy IV. T. Dawson.
APROPOS of. our remarks on the
preceding page concerning the
desirability of choosing a sub¬
ject with an element so prominent
that it is obviously the centre of
attraction, this picture affords an
instance of the wisdom of so doing.
Even the most casual inspection
reveals the bow of the vessel as the
undeniable chief item, and
the satisfactoiy’' arrangement
of the composition is entirely
attributable to its inclusion.
Not only is it shown on a
scale that is vastly greater
than any other single feature,
but its mass, its weight of
tone, and the fact that
within its outline are con¬
tained the brightest lights,
make it the indubitable ob¬
ject of supreme importance.
Having been selected both in
this capacity and as the
foundation of the arrange¬
ment, the remainder of the
items composing the subject
material fall, naturally, into
a subordinate place, and a
sense of order is estabhshed.
On these grounds alone
the composition could be
regarded as acceptable, but
included in them are minor
factors which contribute to
the feeling of order, and there
are also other features which
enhance the suggestion.
In the main, these are
open to explanation on the
same common-sense lines to
which reference was made
overleaf. For example, the
position in which the vessel
(i) is placed, as in the case
then discussed, is at a sufficient
distance from the edge to
avoid the impression of bad
spacing, and not near enough
to the centre line to create a
feeling of formality or to suggest that
the setting is restricted.
Put in another way, its placiag is
that which would be given if the
various elements were dispersed and
required to be assembled in the best
possible order, or, if described in a
conveniently descriptive way, its posi¬
tion is athwart two of the intersecting
points that would be formed if the
t 8
print were divided into thirds vertically
and horizontally. These points are
often referred to as the strong points
of a picture, and so they are ; but they
are not so because of any mysterious
virtue inherent in their positions,
but simply on account of the fact
that, in the great majority of
cases, they afford a spacing
that satisfies our sense of rightness.
Their adoption as the placing for
the chief item avoids the suggestion of
weakness that arises from a position
too near an edge, and the feehng of over¬
preciseness or symmetricality which
follows upon the choice of a position on
either or both of the centre hnes.
So much for placing. Another
factor of some consequence is the
336
inclusion of the second vessel (2) . Its
function is twofold. It permits the
scale of the first-mentioned boat to be
made manifest, so stressing its import¬
ance, and at the same time provides
an element which offers a sort of
counter-weight to what would other¬
wise be an overwhelming mass on the
opposite side. It forms what is known
in compositional terms as a
balancing accent, and provides
a balance of unequals. The
principle is much the same
as that of a weighing machine
where a heavy weight is
balanced by a lighter by being
removed to a greater distance
from the fulcrum. The greater
the weight, the greater is the
space along the lever arm
between the fulcrum and the
balancing weight,' and simi¬
larly, the larger the mass of
the principal item the greater
the distance of the balancing
accent, regard being had,
also, to the relative propor¬
tions of the two masses.
Moreover, the significance
of the vessel (i) is again
emphasised by the feeling
of enclosure suggested by the
darkening of the sky in the
upper reaches, and by a
similar lowering of tone to¬
wards the base. This owes
its effect to the attraction ex¬
erted by a light in an area of
darker tone, by which the eye
is directed towards the more
central portions of the pic-
tnre, and so, indirectly, to the
vessel itself. It forms a fin¬
ishing touch, as far as the
composition is concerned, and
rounds it off.
In addition, the gradation
of tone in the sky conveys an
impression of luminosity and
space. This is highly pleasing,
and, indeed, furnishes that mood of
nature which provides the pictorial at¬
traction. That it is suggested is a tribute
to the arrangement of the composition
and the sense of order so incorporated ;
but that arrangement is not the diffi¬
cult thing it is made out to be,
provided the essential centre of at¬
traction is first selected, will no doubt
be now appreciated. “ Mentor.”

Cinematography
Cine Subjects and their Treatment
Now is the time in amateur cin6
studios when the question of
treatment follows the choice
of theme or subject.
We speak sometimes of the film
as a new art medium, but cinemato¬
graphy in itself can never be an art.
ft can be compared to the disc of
prepared wax which records the voice
— but with this difference ; cinemato¬
graphy records objects and movement.
How those objects and movements are
expressed — for expression is the es¬
sential quality of any art — determines
the artistic values of the film, and
rests with the personality of the
director and the technique of the
camera-man.
What is it that makes a documen¬
tary film different from the reproduc¬
tive effort known as the news-reel ?
In both cases the camera is directed
at objects. Let us suppose, for the
sake of illustration, that you have
decided to make a film of your town
or village. The first essential is that
it shall have design and symmetry.
In other words, it must have a pre¬
dominating theme, which also assures
continuity, and several themes related,
but subsidiary, to the main subject.
These lesser themes will bear a
relation to the characteristics of* your
home town, and will be pastoral,
industrial, social, scenic or agricultural.
Here, on half a sheet of notepaper,
you can have a primary, organic
structure, but it will depend for its
effectiveness on arrangement, and
the arrangement will be largely in¬
fluenced by the moods or impressions
you wish to convey.
A would-be reformer of our social
system, inspired by social anger,
would make a very different film of,
say, a manufacturing district, than
would a contented imperialist whose
sole aim in filming factories was to
show the basis of England’s greatness.
I can imagine the sociologist intro¬
ducing shots of sinister-looking factory
sirens sounding the hours of toil ;
of thousands of weary workers clocking
in with slave -like precision ; montage
shots of feet, old and young, driven

factorywards by the same necessity
of want to the same uncreative toil.
There would probably be panoramas
of chimneys, and gaunt mills, and .
homes dominated by the menacing
shadows of iron foundries. There
would be repetition of the terrific
forces of machinery with, for human
element, grim humour such as was
displayed in the war years.
The imperialist would probably
direct his cine camera at rows of smil¬
ing, silk-stockinged girls, in large, well-
lit factory interiors ; would show
pictures of happy employees at play
in grounds ]:)rovided for them by
benevolent employers ; would include
glimpses of industrial debating so¬
cieties, amateur theatrical rehearsals,
choir practice, Saturday afternoon
football. And all would be subsidiary'
to the main theme of England’s
prosperity, culminating in panorama
shots of great ships, laden with
English-manufactured goods, making
their majestic way out to sea to the
rich imperial markets of the world.
Cause and Effect.
Turning for a moment from treat¬
ment to camera technique, I should
like to draw attention to the often-
neglected possibilities of silhouette
shots. Figures in some sort of pro¬
cession, seen against a sunlit stretch
of water, trees dark against a glim¬
mering lake, a dominant close-up of
a dark hull, the angle or shadow of
I'he sky in autumn. The rapid weather changes that occur at this time of year
produce wonderful and quickly-moving cloud forms. They can be made, the basis of a
most interesting film that every keen amateur cinS-worker should attempt, particularly if
attractive and seasonal suggestions of foreground are included.

an archway, are of value in providing,
by contrast, an element of drama.
Evening shots taken against the light
— with the aid of filters — can give
beautiful results.
If a suggestion of colour is required
there are various colour processes on the
market, but a simple method of tinting
certain sequences of the film is to
make use of a multi-colour wheel.
Sometimes an interior scene offers
unexpected possibilities to the amateur
worker who may find himself handi¬
capped by the absence of lamps and
reflectors. If two mirrors can be
borrowed from a neighbouring house,
the light — providing it is a sunny
day — can be caught on one mirror and
thrown on to the subject via the
second reflector.
Repetition is effective in showing
dramatic force, whether in nature,
machinery or man. Cutting can often
help here, but it needs to be skilfully
done, not only in relation to the
rhythm of each shot, but also to the
pattern of the film as a whole.
Professional Standards and the Amateur Cinematographer
By ERIC HUGH COOPER.
TO debate which sets the pace, the
amateur or the professional, is
to be guilty of rehashing the
old saw about the hen and the egg ;
nevertheless, for all practical purposes,
the difference between the two is
decidedly marked.
“ Home-made ” films are tolerated
much in the same way as (to use well-
known words on a different subject)
“ a dog walking on its hind legs ;
it isn’t done well, but we are surprised
to see it done at all.”
We have come to regard somewhat
blasely the cinematographic master¬
pieces we may see every day for one
shilling, causing, no doubt, many of
us to open our eyes since viewing our
own sad efforts.
What constitutes this amazing
difference ?
Is it lack of apparatus, or solely
a question of being blind to one’s
own faults when competition is not
our taskmaster ? The film companies
do not stint themselves for apparatus,
naturally ; to do so would be suicidal,
but the main difference lies elsewhere.
The difference between a well-
written story and the same story badly
told is nearly always due to failure
to eliminate the superfluous, so it is
with cine photography.
Here are a few tips which even the
British film industry has not yet
taken to heart, which go a long way
towards the unquestionable superiority
(technically) of American films, and if
applied by amateurs would certainly
improve their films a hundred per cent.
Assort your camera angles ; there
is nothing more boring than monot¬
onous right-angles on the same plane.
I once heard an able critic remark on a
certain professional production : “A
few shots upside down would have
relieved the misery.” If you have to
use several feet of film per each hundred
as an explanation, try something else.
Explanation superimposed on what
should be self-explanatory is as bad
as using several adjectives where
none is necessary. This applies to
sub-titles as much as to actual
photography.
Your audience does not hanker
after a conglomeration of affectionate
scenes between one of your characters
and his dog. That he and the animal
are on good terms they take for
granted without having it repeatedly
thrust upon them ; the fact is so
obvious that additional notices be¬
come mere pedantry.
Similarly, man and wife should be
evident without explanation, the fact
that they were or are in love is super¬
fluous ; don’t bore your audience
with the most tiring of all mistakes
(photographic-dramatically speaking) ,
matrimonial bliss ; either keep matri¬
mony out altogether, or give your
audience another woman ; other
women are far more interesting.
Then if you must have love scenes
— and you must unless you wish to
impart to your productions the pala¬
table qualities of rain-water — have
real ones ; an amateur in a love scene
is often as bad as the dear vicar as
the skipper of a ’Frisco windjammer.
Another frequent amateur mistake
is to allow their characters to “ hang”
in mid-air for a matter of seconds, as
though the entire thing has momen¬
tarily gone off the boil. Keep things
going, carry your audience from
beginning to end.
Don’t let the secret of your anti¬
climax pop out before its time, many
otherwise good films are spoilt by
this weakness.
Obviate ” one-spot ” action so com¬
mon to stage productions. Make your
sets long enough for your audience
to feel settled, don’t flit from set to
set, and don’t make the unpardon¬
able error ©f supposing, as many
amateurs do, that because the naked
eye derives enjoyment from roaming
carelessly round 360 degrees, the
effect of a cinema camera being swung
hither and thither is equally as pleas¬
ing ; it isn’t, it is almost as disturbing
as looping the loop. Make your
” camera stills ” long enough to be
completely taken in by your audience,
and when you pivot do it slowly.
Sub-titles are often guilty of remain¬
ing on the screen for twice and even
thrice the necessary period ; make their
time as short as safety allows. No¬
body likes to sit confronted by words
they have read three times. I found
myself wondering on one occasion if
the projector had ceased running, so
long had a sub-title lingered.
Finally, get close to your subject.
Amateurs are especially fond of a
reversed binocular effect plus a fore¬
ground that looks like a desert.
If you are capable of obviating all
these errors you will have achieved
more than the entire British film
industry, so good luck ; it can be
done.
Ensign, Ltd., of Ensign House, 88-89, High Holborn,
London, W.C.i, are well to the fore this year in the issue of
catalogues and other literature, dealing with seasonable amateur
cinematography. In particular, their booklet “ Ensign Home
Cine Projectors and Accessories ” is worth the attention
of every amateur cinematographer. It is full of attractive
matter, and many useful suggestions will be found in its pages.
The Ensign Film Library catalogue and “ Ensign Film Library
News ” should also be seen. Among the accessories that they
have just announced are several new film-editing aids which
will appeal to every worker. All these are of novel design, and
particular mention should be made of the Ensign Universal
Film Splicer, Editor and Rewinder. These universal acces¬
sories enable i6-mm. silent, i6-mm. sound-on-film, both D.I.N.
and R.C.A. standards, g.5-mm. films and 8-mm. to be used.
Messrs. Ensign advise us, however, that these accessories will
not be ready until December ist. Other interesting new lines
which are available at the present time include a 400-ft. i6-mm.
reel of entirely new construction. Ensign carrying-cases, and
200-ft. projector reels and reel tins. Messrs. Ensign contemplate
no change in the Silent Sixteen projector, but a ‘‘ still ” picture
attachment can be supplied to earlier models of the " 300-B ”
projector, which can be simply fitted without the necessity
of returning the machine to the makers. Every reader of
The Amateur Photographer and Cinematographer should apply
to Messrs. Ensign, at the above address, for their full range of
illustrated catalogues and price lists. They are well worth
having and will be sent free.

D. AND P. METHODS.
Sir, — As a new reader of The A mateur Photographer I am
not at all sure whether the subject on which I write has
before been discussed, but I think it might be of interest to
at least a section of your readers.
In connection with journalistic work I use a fair amount of
photography, mainly in connection with professional and
engineering work, and not having the facility, and perhaps
insufficient experience, I have to rely on the D. & P. men for
the results from my photographs. So far, I have been unable
to find any D. & P. man who will take an intelligent interest
in my needs in the matter of producing saleable results from
my negatives. 1 am told quite candidly that it does not pay
to gi\ e the indiv idual attention necessary to this, and they
regard their D. & P. work in the light of mass production,
standardised on average results.
It seems, therefore, that people like myself are faced with
the alternatives of either carrying on with mediocre results or
attempting the work oneself, the latter alternative necessitating
the provision of a considerable amount of expensive apparatus.
— Yours, etc., L. M. REEVES.
THE PERFECT CAMERA.
Sir, — I should like to endorse T. V. Kanna’s remarks re the
Exakta. 1 also should like to see the plate back introduced,
it would then become a very useful camera, a single exposure
could then be developed without waiting for the whole strip
to be exposed.
I think it a pity the popular 2^-in. square was not introduced
instead of the V.P. size ; one need not adhere to the square when
enlarging. Leaving the Exakta 1 think it was a pity when the
T.-P. people introduced the horizontal reflex at a low price they
did not make it 2^-in. or 3-in. square. That the square is
popular is proved by the great number one sees in use, and I
think, even now, if the T.-P. people designed a model it would
become very popular, especially as the price would be much
lower than the Continental twin-lens type of which one sees
so much. Another feature I should like to see introduced would
be that of a lens of a little longer focus than usual, then I venture
to say, although not the perfect all-round camera, it would
certainly be near to being the perfect hand camera, — Yours,
etc., R. CLARK.
WHITE BORDERS.
Sir, — I do not agree with your authors, and the authors in
various photographic publications, that masking is necessary
to obtain neat white borders upon prints.
It is common knowledge that the majority of printing frames
are constructed so as to produce the size of print they are
made for with a clean white margin.
I purchased a packet of masks, but I cannot say that the
quarter-inch borders they produced enhanced my prints :
although the oval masks were very effective. — Yours, etc.,
JOSEPH KELLY.
INDOOR PORTRAITS.
Sir, — I read with appreciation the article “ The Indoor
Portrait Season Begins,” on page 282 of ” The A.P.,” in which
suggestions as to making the best of home portrait negatives,
which include irrelevant and ugly details, were described.
It appears, however, in waxing eloquent on his subject, the
writer missed an obvious pitfall that may be encountered,
noticeably shown in example enlarged illustration No. 2 in
the article, where the charms of the portrait are somewhat
marred owing to the lady possessing an earring and pendant
owning the magical property of being able to defy gravity.
The ornament in question hangs at the disturbing angle of
about 60 degrees, although I see in the original small print,
even if the neck of the sitter is a little strained, that the
pendant is in its natural position.
Although the error is rather glaring in the enlargement,
perhaps one could answer to any " clever ” remarks from critics
like myself that a strong wind blowing from the window towards
the sitter had caused the deviation from the vertical of the
inoffensive earring. — Yours, etc., E. STRUTT.

The Amateur Photographer & Cinematographer
. -ANNUAL- — .
Lantern-Slide Competition
. 1934 .
'VERY reader of The Amateur Photographer who is interested in the making of lantern slides
should participate in “ The A.P.” Annual Lantern-Slide Competition. Not only are the
seven classes comprehensive in their variety of subjects to suit all workers, but inclusion of
slides in “ The A.P.” prize set which circulates throughout the British Isles, can be considered as
the hall-mark of excellence, which every lantern-slide maker should strive for. Each succeeding
year the competition proves increasingly popular, and has come to be regarded as a test of merit in
lantern-slide production. We hope, therefore, that again this year every lantern-slide maker will
enter the competition. The conditions and awards are set out below. It should be noted that
the awards are made to individual slides and not to sets ; but every competitor can send as many slides into as many classes as he or
she desires. The slides are judged on the screen under the best conditions. After the judging the prize-winning slides, and a
number of others which are selected for purchase form the exhibition collection which goes on tour to all parts of the country for a
year or more. Secretaries of photographic societies who have not yet booked the set of “ A.P.” Prize Slides should hasten to do so
and submit alternative dates. This is necessary to enable a complete and expeditious itinerary to be arranged before the slides start on
their journey in November. In the meantime, those who intend entering this competition should note that the closing date for
receiving entries is Wednesday, October 31st.
Classes ai
Class I. — Landscape witli or without figures, sea
subjects and river scenery.
Class II. — Portraiture and figure studies, whether
indoor or outdoor pictures.
Class III. — Architecture, interior and exterior.
Class IV. — Flowers, fruit and other “ Still-Life ”
subjects.
Conditions
(1) All classes are open to amateur and professional photo¬
graphers without any restrictions. All slides must measure
34X3jin.,and must be properly spotted for showing in the lantern.
(2) One silver plaque, one bronze plaque, and four certifi¬
cates are offered in each class except Class VII. In that, the
Champion Class, the award will be a mounted and signed exhi¬
bition picture by Mr. F. J. Mortimer, the Editor of The A mateur
Photographer and Cinematographer and Photograms of the Year.
(3) All slides which receive any award will become the
property of The Amateur Photographer and Cinematographer,
and will be sent round amongst the societies and such other
associations as apply for the loan of them. Any other slides
may be selected for circulation in this manner, and will be
paid for at the rate of half a crown each.
(4) Competitors may send any number of slides in any class,
and may be recorded as winning any number of awards ; but
no competitor will actually receive in the competition more
than one silver plaque, one bronze plaque, and one certificate,
on which all his awards will be recorded. Competitors may
enter in any number of cla,sses.
(5) Each slide must bear the competitor’s name, its title
and its class. With the slides must be sent an envelope con¬
taining the name and full address of the competitor, a list of
d Subjects.
Class V. — Natural history subjects.
Class VI. — Lantern slides in colour (not hand
coloured).
Class VI I. — Champion class. Open only to those who
have won silver or bronze plaques in
The Amateur Photographer and Cine¬
matographer lantern-slide competition.
and Awards.
the titles of all the slides he is sending in, and the class in which
such are entered. Particulars as to make of plate, exposure,
developer used, etc., and other technical data which may be
of interest for incorporation in the notes which will accompany
the winning slides on their tour among the photographic
societies, should also be given where thought necessary.
(6) A stamped and addressed label (not loose stamps) should
be sent with the slides for their return if unsuccessful ; but in
no circumstances can the Editor or the Publishers accept any
responsibility for slides sent in for competition, nor for their
return ; neither can slides be returned which are not accom¬
panied by stamps as above.
(7) Not more than one slide from any one negative can be
admitted, nor may any slide compete which has before won an
award in these competitions.
(8) The last day for receiving is Wednesday, October 31st.
The slides must be well packed and addressed, “ Slide
Cornpetition, The Editor, The Amateur Photographer and
Cinematographer , Dorset House, Stamford Street, London,
S.E.i,” and all carriage charges must be prepaid.
(9) In any case of dispute, the competitor agrees to accept
the decision of the Editor of The Amateur Photographer and
Cinematographer as finai.

New Willesden Technical College, Denzil
Road, Willesden, and are looking for¬
ward to a most successful season. The
Hon. Secretary, E. E. Telfer, of 14,
Robson Avenue, Willesden, N.W.io,
will forward full particulars of member¬
ship on application.
A sign of the season is indicated by
announcements already appearing of
Christmas mounts and folders for photo¬
graphs. Messrs. Marshall & Co., of

Lost Camera. — A reader of " The
A.P.”, Mr. E. Woolley, of 10, Denham
Street, High Street, Chorlton - on - Med-
lock, Manchester, 13, informs us that he
has lost a No. i Folding Kodak, ijj.j
lens, in brown leather blue -lined case.
It was left by the stepping-stones over
the river at Grindleford, about a quarter
of a mile from Grindleford Bridge.
Will anyone who has seen or heard of
this camera kindly communicate with
above address ?
A new prize competition is announced
by the News Chronicle. The subject to be
depicted is “ work and industry.” This
can be illustrated by any kind of
workman or by his environment, if
treated pictorially. A first prize of
£\oo, second £^o, and third £2$, will
be awarded. Five special prizes of £10
each will be given for photographs
symbolising industry — smoking chim¬
neys, pitheads, etc. Full particulars
will be found every day in the News
Chronicle.
The Norwood Camera Club inform us
that they have a new Hon. Secretary.
He is Mr. A. W. Ketteridge, of 10,
Dodbrooke Road, S.E.27. This club
has also a few vacancies for members.
A postcard to the above address will
bring full particulars.
Amateur photographers in the Er-
dington and Wylde Green districts of
Birmingham should note that the local
society now include in the annual sub¬
scription of I os. the use of a fully-
equipped dark-room on the club pre¬
mises, Church House, Erdington. There
is also an enlarger available. Beginners
and advanced workers are equally wel¬
come. The Hon. Secretary is H. C.
Chamberlin, and his address is 36, Grange
Road, Erdington. Birmingham.
Circular tanks for the development
of roll films of various lengths have
become very popular recently, and
justly so in view of their simplicity and
certainty in action. The latest and one
of the best is the " Labora ” Tank, just
put on the market by Garner & Jones,
of Polebrook House, Golden Square,
W.i. This tank is of the usual familiar
jar shape with lid and spindle. It is
sturdily made of bakelite, and light in
weight. Its outstanding feature and
claim for novelty lies in the celluloid
apron. This is specially designed with
corrugated edges, each corrugation being
pyramidal in form. Its construction
allows more space between the film and
apron for the developer to reach every
part of the film quickly and freely when
the tank is filled. The apron is cut to
the exact size of the film in use, and it is
impossible for the emulsion side of the
film to touch the apron. In use it
produces negatives singularly free from
marks or abrasions, and is quite simple
to use. The price for various sizes in
film is 25s. Extra aprons and reels can
also be obtained. For the film user who
does his own developing it can be well
recommended.
At the Exhibition of Cinematography,
to be held at the Royal Photographic
Society, November 6th to 30th, the
meetings at which sub-standard films
will be projected will be held on Friday
evenings, November gth, i6th, 23rd and
30th, at 7 p.m., and on Saturday after¬
noons, November loth, 17th and 24th,
at 3 p.m. Tickets reserving seats will be
issued for these meetings without charge.

T^eaders^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematographer, Dorset House. Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, witho\it e.xception, mils'
pi\e the name and address of the writer.
CoNTRinuTioNS. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
Ail contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. M.SS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped ivrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
Liiored,
(I) See ■■ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addre.ssed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (it any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly WTitten, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ' How can 1 take interiors ? ” or " Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or " Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issu
to reach the enquirer.
Blue Prints.
Can you tell me of a book giving instructions for
preparing paper to make “ blue prints ” ?
J. L. R. (Abersychan.)
The sensitising of such papers as you
mention is dealt with in various text¬
books. In the " Dictionary of Photo¬
graphy,” published by this firm, it is
treated under the heading of “ Cyano-
type,” where the information occupies
five pages of small type.
Tank Metol.
I have an idea that you gave recently a metol
formula for tank development, but if so I cannot
trace it. Could you oblige me by repeating it ?
F. E. S. (Dundee.)
We gave the following formula early
in the year, and think you will find it
quite satisfactory.
Water . . . . . . 20 oz.
Sodium sulphite . . . . J oz.
Sodium carbonate. . . . J oz.
Metol . . . . . . 5 grs.
Plenty of time must be given to secure
sufficient density and contrast.
Metal Polish.
Is it a fact that liquid metal poUsh, as used for
cleaning silver, etc., can be used as a substitute
for Haskett’s reducer ? D. E. (Monmouth.)
This is often done. We should advise
you first to filter the polish twice through
fine fabric to remove any possible solid
particles which would scratch the nega¬
tive.
Flat Negatives.
Why are the negatives I send so flat and lacking
in contrast ? I am given to understand that
films taken in excessive light should have about
double time development. Would intensification
improve the negatives ? E. G. (Beverley.)
Judging from the negatives, we should
say that they were very fully exposed
but under-developed. You could cer¬
tainly increase the contrast by bleaching
and redevelopment in the manner we
have often described in our pages.
We do not at all understand your
reference to giving double the develop¬
ment time to films exposed in strong
light. We should say the obvious
course would be to give less exposure
and normal development, unless we
misunderstand your point altogether.
Exposures for Waves.
What is the longest exposure for breaking waves
and running seas ? What was Mr. Mortimer’s
exposure for his picture “ The Cauldron ” ?
A. L. B. (Sandy.)
You will understand that only an
approximate suggestion can be given
as to the exposure for breaking waves.
Mr. Mortimer’s earlier wave studies
were made with a camera fitted with a
Thornton- Pickard roller-blind shutter
on the lens, and this was worked at its
highest speed, which would be approxi¬
mately I /80th of a second. In some
cases the exposure was deliberately made
as the breaking wave reached its highest
point, there being then a moment of
more or less suspended movement.
We would suggest i/iooth of a second
as the best to keep at the back of the
mind when doing such work ; anything
much faster is liable to lead to what is
called a “ frozen ” appearance of the
water, without any suggestion of move¬
ment.
Fixing in Tank.
Is there an apparatus which would enable me to
develop, fix and wash pack films without handling
them ? My clumsy fingers inflict damage on the
films, and they get unfortunately scratched.
H. L. J. (Ealing.)
You can nse the same tank for de¬
veloping, fixing and washing, but in our
opinion it is not very advisable. We
suggest that the best way is to learn
to handle the films with care, as it is
quite possible to avoid any damage
whatever, even while the films are wet.
Local Reduction.
Some of the skies in my negatives are too dense for
normal printing. Is there any successful method
of reducing these parts ? L. A. VV. (Eastbourne.)
The question of local reduction cannot
be dealt with satisfactorily in a brief
manner ; it is much too complicated a
matter for that. In some cases you
could probably satisfactorily use the
method of persulphate reduction, which
would reduce the densest parts prin¬
cipally : but even this demands some
knowledge and experience.
Making Stops.
I wish to calibrate the stops on an unmarked
between-Iens shutter. Can you give me a formula
for calculating the aperture of the diaphragm ?
T. T. (London.)
You can only calculate your apertures
approximately, but with sufficient ac¬
curacy for practical purposes. You
must first know the exact focal length
of your lens. You can then remove the
front combination, measure the diameter
of the opening in the diaphragm, and
see how many times this is contained
in the focal length. That will be the
nearest you can get to arriving at the
f/ value of that particular opening.
Dark Corners of Print.
What causes the dark comers in some prints, as
in the example herewith ? I have noticed them
in photographs I have taken with a filter.
J. A. S. (Kensington.)
We published an illustrated article
some time ago showing that a lens hood
is liable to cut off the corners more and
more as smaller apertures are used, but
this does not apply to the use of an
ordinary filter. When dark corners
appear in such a case it suggests that
the lens does not evenly illuminate the
the whole of the negative surface.
Factorial Development.
Will you let me know how to convert one Watkins
factor into another ? Johnson’s M.Q. developer
has a factor of i8, and they recommend 20 minutes
at 60® Fahr. What would be the development
time for a factor of 12 ? G. M. N. (London.)
Judging from your letter we think
you are confusing two entirely different
things. If the developer has a factor
of 18, it means that the total develop¬
ment time is i8 times as long as the
time for the first appearance of the
image, while a developer with a factor
of 12 takes only 12 times as long. When
Messrs. Johnson talk about 20 minutes
at 60° Fahr. this is time and tem¬
perature development, and not factorial
development at all.
Proprietary Developer.
Some years ago 1 tried a proprietary developer
in powder form, which was made up into a solution,
kept for months, and could be used to the last
drop. Can you give me a formula of a like
nature ? H. W. G. (Chingford.)
We have no idea as to the composition
of the developer to which you refer.
There are several single - solution de¬
velopers on the market that will keep
in good condition for a long time, and
only need dilution according to instruc¬
tions to make them suitable for nega¬
tives, bromide and gaslight papers.
An M.Q. or similar developer supplied
in powder form would do the same
thing. Any dealer can supply cither.

BOX NUMBERS. — For the convenience of advertisers, letters may be addressed to
numbers at the office of this paper. When this is desired, the sum of 6d. to defray the
cost of registration and to cover postage on replies must be added to the advertisement
charges, which must include the words “ Box 000, c/o ‘ The Amateur Photographer ’ .”
Replies should be addressed: “ Box 000, c/o ‘ The Amateur Photographer,’ Dorset House,
Stamford Street, London, S.E.l,” and these letters will be simply forwarded by us to
the advertiser. It must be understood that we do not deal with the correspondence

through the post except in registered envelopes. In all such cases the use of the
“ Deposit System ” is recommended.
Special Note
Readers who reply to advertisements and receive no answer to their enquiries are re¬
quested to regard the silence as an indication that the goods advertised have already
been disposed of. Advertisers often receive so many enquiries that it is quite impossible
to reply to each one by post. When sending remittances direct to an advertiser, stamp
for return should also be included for use in the event of the application proving
unsuccessful.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton.
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
tor cash. Readers are advised to ignore ail such
offers from this quarter.

HAND
CAMERAS
By R, Child Bayley
An outstanding feature of this
book, which makes a special
appeal to all amateur photo¬
graphers, is a number of separately
printed plates, all from hand camera
negatives by the author. These are
selected to show the very wide range
of subjects accessible to the snap-
shotter, from pure landscape to
tele-photographic portraiture.
Though primarily written for the
beginner, ” Hand Cameras ” con¬
tains much of interest to the ad¬
vanced worker, and should be in the
working library of all who would
attain to the highest degree of
artistic excellence in their work.

No film can record the mellow phase of Autumn
better than Selochrome — colour-sensitive, extra
fast, and as effective in dull weather as in fine.
Wherever you go — along the lanes, through the
woods — see that your camera is loaded with
Selochrome.

times. Handy, low-priced lighting aids provide brilliant.

socket and gives intense continuous light. Little more than half
the cost of earlier type yet 1 1 times as brilliant. Safety fuse
incorporated. In all standard voltages . . . .4/- each
easily-controlled illumination in any room — valuable new
equipment for the home portraitist and still-life worker.
KODAK SUPER SENSITIVE PANCHROMATIC FILM
(Roll Film and Film Packs). Three times as fast as regular Kodak
Regular Film in artificial light. Used with “Photoflood” illumi¬
nation it gives well-exposed negatives with quite brief exposures.
“PANATOMIC” FILM (Roll Film and Film Packs). Not quite so
fast in artificial light as Kodak “Super-Sensitive Panchromatic,” but
still very much faster to artificial light than regular Kodak Film.
Fine-grain panchromatic emulsion ensures pictures of finest quality.
“KODAFLECTOR” JUNIOR. A reflector to hold one
“Photoflood”; increases efficiency of illumination 2| times.
Supplied with ingeniously designed wire stand that can be stood
on table, hung from picture rail, over back of chair, etc., in any
one of a dozen useful positions. With 9 ft. of flex, but without

Take up lantern-slide making this Winter. There is
nothing so satisfying to those who take a pride in

The rose of Lancaster was vig¬
orously waving in Mr. James
Shaw’s bonnet when he came
south to deliver his lecture to an
R.P.S. Exhibition audience on his
county of counties. Does anybody
think that Lancashire is ‘ ‘ all Wigan” ?
Mr. Shaw will disillusion them. Why,
man, he will show you landscapes
which are the despair of every other
county in England, not to speak of
Wales. Do you know that the better
half of Windermere is in Lancashire ?
Has it occurred to you that it is
in Lancashire that Coniston Old
Man raises his head ? Have you
ever thought of the fells and the
rivers and the glories of Morecambe
Bay ? How little they know Eng¬
land who do not Lancashire know !
Then Lancashire appears to have
— or at any rate Mr. James Shaw
with his camera has an uncanny
knack of searching them out — an
abundance of queer, quaint charac¬
ters, engaged still upon ancient
trades which have a touch of
picturesqueness about them. iHso
it has delightful panelled halls, and
schools and churches, enough to
turn the three Ridings green with
envy. In fact, if Lancashire — that
is to say, Mr. Shaw’s Lancashire — is
not exactly heaven on earth, it runs
heaven pretty close. And even
Wigan — well, there was a Wigan man
who died and interviewed Peter at
the gate, and told Peter straight.
“ Look here, Peter,” he said, ‘‘ I
wants thee to know, I didn’t want
to leave Wigan.”
Doing and Dying.
Does anyone give a thought to the
risks and discomfort of the photo¬
grapher in getting a good picture ?
The Press photographers, we all
know, pass through hre and flood
and revolutionary bullets, exclaim-

ing “ The picture’s the thing.”
Some of them were in the Spanish
revolution, and two of them had
their cameras confiscated. One of
these two was kept in confinement,
but his camera was restored to him ;
the other was allowed to go, but his
camera was withheld. One wonders
whether each envied the other’s fate,
but perhaps between a pressman
and his camera there is no sentimen¬
tal attachment. But the ordinary
amateur on occasion faces perils.
One such bravely determined not
long ago to photograph a piece
of ornamental coping on the top of
a large new building. The only
way up was by means of a builder’s
ladder extending to infinity. He got
a grudging permission from the clerk
of the works, with an intimation
that if he fell and broke his neck
he must not expect too many
wreaths at his funeral. L^p the ladder
he went, a ladder which, viewed
from the ground, appeared to in¬
cline at the orthodox angle towards
the building. Half-way up, as is a
common experience with ladders, it
appeared to him that the ladder
was inclining in the other direction,
and that its top was anchored on
thin air. But with a wholesome
fear of what the clerk of the works
would say if he came down with
his objective unreached, he persisted
and found a 7-ft. plank at the top,
from which he got his photograph.
And he is rewarded by the remarks
of those who see the work, “ Ah,
you used a telephoto, I suppose ?
Whereupon he tells the tale and
bulges the ladder.
Off Seasons.
We all have them. The photo¬
grapher must not be discouraged if
there comes a time when everything
seems to go wrong. We all know

such times, when our fingers are all
thiunbs, when our work is not up
to standard, when we are unfor¬
tunate in our subjects or clumsy in
the use of our materials, or in -one
way or another “ miss the bus.”
Nothing seems to turn out right.
This does not apply just to one
piece of work, but to everything
we do over a certain period, showing
that it is something in ourselves —
something psychological — and not
anything inherent in a particular
job. It is not the lens or the film
that is letting us down ; it is a
misplaced cam or nut or something
in our own human mechanism.
There are two consolations. One
of them is that the same experience
is common to every vocation and
to every person. No one continues
indefinitely as an instrument of
precision, or is invariably attended
by the same good angel of luck.
Indeed, if we did hit the bull’s-eye
every time we should soon die of
ennui. Were it not for its failures.
occasional or frequent, photography
would lose most of its zest. The
other consolation is that these things
go by cycles, or waves, if you like
to call them so, and the dip wiU
soon be followed by the crest again.
The off season must not be an
excuse for putting things away in
despair, but rather for learning its
lessons with courage.
New Hope for the Eye.
Sometimes in these days when the
whole world is microphoned and
amplified we begin to think that the
ear, having so much done for it, may
oust the eye from its supremacy
among the sense organs ; that in the
world of the future it may be more
important to hear than to see.
Therefore it is just as well to remind
ourselves that the eye, too, is
coming on. Some extraordinary
things, for example, are now being
done in eye surgery. We were
shown an instrument the other day
for ophthalmic diathermy, which is
in use at the great eye hospital,
Moorfields, where some miracles
have been wrought. Formerly a
man with detached retina was given
up for bUnd ; now he may be the
subject of a marvellous restoration.
Perhaps, had this come about earher,
Delius need not have been blind, nor
John Milton. Some wonderful glasses
are also being brought out by
ophthalmic firms. We always sus¬
pected our old schoolmaster of
having glasses which enabled him to
see what was happening behind his
back, but we were shown glasses
with an extended field by means of
which the user could pretty well
see all round him — a good idea in
one-way streets. We have so often
been told that the camera as an
instrument of precision has beaten
the eye into its own hollow cavity.
Nevertheless, a good deal can be
done for the eye in the way of im¬
provement, and exploitation of its
unimagined resources.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Circle of Illumination.
I have been experimenlitig with a rather old half-plate camera
with a - lens working at //6, and send one or two prints.
You will see that the definition is none too good in some, and if I
use the rising front I get darker corners as shown in others. Am
I right in blaming the lens, or can you give some other explana¬
tion ? C. M. [Durham.)
The lens you have is rather old, but was considered a good
one in its day. It is of rectilinear type, and most lenses of this
kind had f/8 as their largest aperture, the larger stop in this
case being for the sake of extra rapidity in cases where critical
marginal definition was not imperative. You must remember
that the standard of definition has become much higher since
the introduction of the anastigmat.
Such a lens as yours has a curved (saucer-like) field, so that
both central and marginal sharp definition can be obtained
only by judicious focussing, accompanied by necessary stop¬
ping down. Moreover, not only definition but illumination
falls off towards the margins of the field. The simple diagram
will help to explain the points.
The outer circle represents the complete field of illumination
of the lens ; the inner circle represents that part of the field
in which both definition and illumination come up to a passable
standard, with or without stopping down. The rectangle
represents the plate. In the first figure the centre of the plate
is on the axis of the lens, and it is assumed that in this position
the plate falls exactly but completely inside the satisfactory
part of the field. It is evident from your prints that your
plate is not so included ; the corners run out slightly into the
unsatisfactory region. This indicates that the lens is being
used on a rather larger plate than it will cover adequately ;
it would be better on a 5 X4 or a quarter- plate. In fact such
lenses as. the one you have can often be used as rather long
focus lenses on such plates, which naturally fall in the best
part of the field.
The second figure shows what happens when the front is
raised. The circle of illumination is shifted in relation to the
plate, two corners of which are now well within the satisfactory
area, while two others are definitely out of it. You will see
at once why you get two darkened corners when you raise
the front, and if you examine the prints which show these
you will notice that the other two corners are better both in
definition and illumination than when the plate is central in
the disc.
Your camera probably has a swing front, and you will
find that by bringing this into operation when the front is
raised you can get rid of your dark corners. At the same
time this will “ tilt ” the field of the lens, and upset the defini¬
tion. You will have to focus for the middle of the plate, and
sharpen up the definition at the top and the bottom by stopping
down.
We should advise you not to discard the lens. It is much
too good for that, and for certain kinds of stand work will give
a very good account of itself. Even when the extreme corners
are' 'not all they might be you can generally spare enough of
the^negative to eliminate them.

Tw AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
p 6 CIMEMATOGRAPHER e
hoosing an Enlarger
Many of our readers must be considering the purchase of an
enlarger, and be exercised in their minds as to which type to choose.
In this article the advantages of each, as well as other matters,
are dealt with.
Although photography in
these days is practised all
the year round, it is safe
to say that although negative-making
is still carried on, most photographers
regard the coming season as one
in which the making of lantern
slides and enlargements plays a
prominent part. There must be
many of our readers who at this
time are contemplating the purchase
of enlarging apparatus, yet are in
some doubt as to the type wliich
will best meet their needs.
Types.
In common with modern cameras
the modern enlarger has also been
considerably improved witli regard
to design. There are two types
which the photographer lias before
him, known as the vertical and
the horizontal, and each of these
has advantages to offer.
The modern vertical enlarger is a
well-made instrument. It is as a
rule made to focus by scale, and
the photographer is not in doubt
as to whether the picture is as sharp
as it is possible to get it. This
type is of great advantage to those
whose sight is not of the best, and
who hnd some difficulty in focussing.
These instruments are self-con¬
tained pieces of apparatus, they
take up small space in operation —
a point that is worth considering
when dark-room accommodation is
limited. On the other hand, the
photographer is limited as to the
size of enlargement, unless some
modification of the instrument is
employed, but as a general rule
the maximum size is large enough.
These enlargers are fitted with
anastigmat lenses ■ of high speed,
and exposures with them, from
suitable negatives, upon rapid bro¬
mide papers, are reduced to a few
seconds.
The older type of enlarger of
horizontal form still finds many
supporters. It is not self-focussing,
and it is less rapid in operation than
the newer type. At the same time,
there is no limit, apart from the
size of the apartment and the
bromide paper available, to the
degree of enlargement permitted by
apparatus of this type. Further, it
is less costly. Another advantage
is that there is greater extension,
and sufficient to make lantern slides
by reduction from larger negatives.
Condenser, or Diffused Lighting.
The older type of enlarger is
fitted with a condenser in order to
ensure even illumination of the
negative. The vertical enlarger is
generally fitted with a system of
reflectors and diffusers by which the
same object is attained, although in
some cases a condenser is fitted as
well.
The advantage of the diffused
lighting system is that small me¬
chanical defects, in the nature of
minute scratches, as well as hand¬
work or retouching, are much less
evident than is the case with a
condenser. The latter is more speedy,
but most high-grade enlargers of
the vertical type are fitted with
large-aperture lenses and powerful
lighting equipment, so that the
difference is les^ marked than it
may appear.
The Lens.
This should be a good anastigmat,
and there are enlargers made which
will permit of the photographer’s
own lens being fitted. The old
portrait lenses, while they give
moderately good definition over the
centre of the field, tend to fall off
towards the margins unless stopped
down.
A lens of poor quality will lose
much of the fine definition of the
original negative.
Illuminant.
While electric lighting is the ideal
for enlarging the photographer who
is confined to gas will find that this
is quite satisfactory. This may
mean that the enlarger will be of
the horizontal type, because some
models of the vertical enlargers can¬
not be adapted for gas. The photo¬
grapher who resides in the country
will have to decide between oil,
acetylene, or a lamp of the spirit
vapour type. The last, provided it
is kept clean and used with care,
will be found quite satisfactory.
This lamp cannot be used in an
enlarger of the vertical type.
In General.
Such are the points which should
have practical consideration before
the enlarger is purchased. In
addition, the photographer wlH want
dishes of at least a size larger than
the largest size of print that he
contemplates making. Let them
be of the deep and not the shallow
variety. The latter cause spills,
and are very difficult to use.
Lastly the photographer should
invest in a good dark-room lamp,
with a suitable screen for bromide
paper, if he does not already possess
one. A cheap dark-room lamp is
a nuisance, and the best results can¬
not be expected under bad conditions
of working.
Familiarity.
Having finally decided on the type
of enlarger, and having acquired it,
there is another important matter
that arises. This is the question
of learning exactly how to use the
apparatus so as to get the best
possible results of which it is capable.
There are many who continue
contentedly to use an enlarger in
ignorance of the fact that they are
not getting the best out of it. The in¬
structions supplied with the enlarger
should be most carefully studied, and
aU the directions as to manipulation
and care strictly observed.
The apparatus should be stored
where parts will not become rusty
and so lose their efficiency and
smoothness of working, and both
lens and condenser should be spot¬
lessly clean.

JNFRA-RED for the Amateur
By J. INGLIS STEWART.
Not very long ago, infra-red
photography was looked upon
as a scientific experiment, and
a difficult one that could onlv be

undertaken by experienced workers.
With the discovery of new sensitising
dyes and the production of faster
infra-red plates, the process has come
within the scope of the beginner, and
lends itself to pictorial effects quite
apart from the long distances that
can be recorded.
White light is composed of a
combination of all colours, and when
some of the colours are separated
by a light-filter, or individual colours
reflected by certain objects reach a
photographic plate, they affect it in
different ways, according to the par¬
ticular plate or film. For instance,
all plates or films are sensitive to blue
and violet, and if exposed in the
camera to a view or subject comprising
a number of different colours, the
fullest exposure will occur where the
blue and violet parts are recorded.
By staining the emulsion during
manufacture with a suitable yellow
dye, it becomes more sensitive to
yellow light, and if a surplus of dye is
left on the film this will act as a light
filter partly cutting out blue and
violet light, which will result in a
8
Tke same view, with infra-red plate and filter, 2 sec. at //5.6. The longer exposure
accounts for the blurred tree-tops due to movement caused by wind.
346
Panchromatic films or plates are
those that have been sensitised with
the aid of suitable dyes to record all
colours, but they are still very sensi¬
tive to the blue end of the spectrum,
and have to be used in conjunction
with a colour filter to give the best
results. By the use of a correct light-
filter more of the blue and violet
is cut out, and it becomes possi¬
ble to photograph red and blue in
their correct tonal values at the same
time on the same plate.
Beyond the visible red rays of the
spectrum are the infra-red, a large
band of active waves lying between
light and heat which cannot be seen
with the human eye. Plates have now
been sensitised to record infra-red
rays, but as they are also still very
sensitive to other colours they have
to be used in conjunction with a special
light-filter that will cut out all but
the infra-red.
These rays are present in every view
or subject that can be presented to the
lens of the camera, no matter whether
it is a distant landscape or a group of
people in a near-by street scene. In
the ordinary way, however, they are
“ swamped ” by all the other more
actinic rays, which act on a photo¬
graphic plate or film, and which are
also present at the same time.
more correct rendering. These plates,
usually known as the self-screen type,
are probably the most popular class
amongst amateur workers.

If, therefore, these other rays are
cut out entirely only the infra-red
will remain active for taking the
photograph, provided the plate has
been specially sensitised for the pur¬
pose and a filter is used which permits
only the infra-red rays to pass.
Water vapour is nearly always
present in the atmosphere, and short
wave-lengths such as the blue and
violet are scattered throughout the
atmosphere, resulting in a general
diffusion that obscures detail in the
distance. Green is less scattered,
and yellow less still. It is for this
reason that yellow diffusers are used
on motor head-lights in the hope of
seeing farther in a fog. Red is
scattered less than yellow, and infra¬
red least of all.
It therefore follows that if a picture
showing a long stretch of distance
obscured by a blue haze is photo¬
graphed only by infra-red rays, the
rays at the blue end of the spectrum
are entirely cut out and rendered
On Buying
Although many tempting offers
may come to some readers of
" The A.P.” from variousi quar¬
ters, they would do well to consider
a little whether they would not do
better to make their purchases through
a dealer or a shopkeeper of repute, or
through the advertisement columns of
this paper.
In buying from second-hand junk
shops or from strangers without
reference, no doubt many bargains
may be secured from time to time.
Unfortunately, there is a certain
amount of risk, apart from being
“ had ” with a mechanically imperfect
apparatus, in buying goods second¬
hand in this way.
Hire Purchase.
What would be the position if it
transpired that the camera purchased
belonged to some third party, and
that person claimed it from the buyer ?
The person from whom it is honestly
and innocently bought may have only
received it on approval himself or under
a hire-purchase agreement, or he may
even have stolen it. WTio is entitled to
it, the original owner or the new owner ?
In the case of a hire-purchaser
attempting to sell the subject of the
hire-purchase agreeinent, the question
of whether the person from whom he
obtained the camera or the person
to whom he “ sold ” it has the better
right to it, can only be answered
after the agreement under which the
inoperative, and the detail in the
distance will be much clearer.
Before taking an infra-red picture,
the special filter must be mounted on
the lens to cut out all other hght,
and, as it is not possible to see through
the infra-red filter, the focussing
must be done first. This, however,
presents no difficulty, as on most
amateur cameras the focussing is
done by scale.
Naturally, as we are only going to
expose by means of a very small
percentage of the available light, we
shall need to give a much longer
exposure, and as a rough guide it will
take about three seconds’ exposure
at f/8 on a fairly bright day, if the
subject is an open landscape.
The two accompanying examples,
taken from Hindhead within a few
seconds of each other, show the
characteristic difference presented by
infra-red photography. The self¬
screen plate had i/iooth sec. exposure
at f/5.6, and has only recorded the

hire-purchaser obtained possession of
it has been considered.
If the buyer from the hire-purchaser
wishes to claim the camera as against
the original owner he must show that
not only was possession of the camera
given to the hire-purchaser but also
ownership, a position which rarely
exists, as all properly-drawn hire-
purchase agreements are, as their
name suggests, only a “ hiring ” of the
article, and no real, sale or change of
ownership takes place until the last
penny has been paid.
If, however, it was a sale out and
■out in the first place an innocent
buyer from the so-called hire-purchaser
will be entitled to retain the camera ;
whereas if it was merely a hiring of
the camera the original owner would
be entitled to claim it.
Stolen Cameras.
We have yet to deal with the case
of alleged sale by thieves and other
persons who have obtained their
cameras by some wrongful means.
Again it is • necessary *to draw a dis¬
tinction, in this case, between the
different ways in which goods can be
obtained by unlawful means. If the
camera has been stolen by the seller,
that is, if he has committed larceny,
then a buyer from him, even though
he knows nothing of the theft, will
be compelled to hand over the camera
to the person from whom it was
stolen, on the conviction of the thief.

foreground with a blank sky. The blue
haze in the distance and in the sky has
strongly affected the plate sensitive
to and not protected from these rays.
The second photograph taken on an
infra-red plate with infra-red filter
had two seconds’ exposure at f/5.6,
and clearly shows detail in the farthest
hills which could not be seen with
the eye at the time the photograph was
taken. The filter has cut out all the
other rays, and only the infra-red
rays of the subject have acted
on the plate. The white clouds
on a dark ground were practically
lost to the eye, owing to the mist in
the distance, and would certainly
have been unphotographable on any
ordinary plate or film.
Infra-red plates are developed in the
same way as any other photographic
plates, and, if a suitable green safelight
is employed in the dark-room lamp,
they may be inspected during develop¬
ment with as rnuch ease as an ordinary
plate in ruby light.
SOME NOTES ON THE
LEGAL ASPECT.
Where, however, the article sold
has been obtained by some wrongful
means less than larceny ; that is to
say, where the " ownership ” and
not merely " possession ” has been
obtained by the swindler, as in false
pretences, where the person who has
been defrauded (i.e., the original
owner) intended to part with his
property — although his intention would
not exist but for some false representa¬
tion made to him by the offender, with
the design of defrauding him — then an
innocent purchaser is protected by the
law and put in a better position than
the original owner.
Buyers’ Rights.
The innocent and honest buyer from
the swindler has in the first place the
right to retain the article until the
latter is convicted, and secondly in
order that the original owner may
regain his property, he must obtain
an order of the Court restoring it to
him, which order will not be made to
the prejudice of an innocent buyer
from the swindler.
Thus, if the camera is stolen property
in the strict sense of the word, a
buyer from the thief stands little
chance of retaining his purchase ; if,
however, he has bought from one who
obtained it by making some false
representation to the original owner,
or by some other wrongful means,
then his chance of retaining it prac¬
tically amounts to a certainty.

spotlight so often useful for character
studies, to the soft and general flat,
lighting relieved from one or more
points with a spot or shaded light.
If a portable light is provided by
the photographer this can often be
plugged into one of the lighting sockets,
and used to outbalance the general
flat lighting effect where close-up
views or small groups are required,
bringing instantaneous exposures of

within reach if rapid panchromatic
plates or films are employed, and a

"^HE amateur stage provides a fruitful subject for the
enthusiastic photographer, and has unlimited
possibilities for the use of a camera. With large-
aperture lenses and the brilliant lighting of manv
theatres, instantaneous photographs may be secured from
the auditorium during an actual performance, but this cannot
be expected with the average amateur performance, whilst
the value of unusual lighting effects can only be turned to
advantage with the co-operation of the cast.
Few amateur societies or performers will refuse any bona
fide camera enthusiast a chance to record scenes and
costumes, and many of them will offer any amount of as¬
sistance during a dress rehearsal in order to obtain photo¬
graphs of the play.
Most stages used by amateurs are lit brilliantly from above
in such a way that the light is balanced with foot -lights
from below, producing a
most undesirable flatness of
tone and lack of modelling,
combined with an unevenness
of illumination caused by an
abundance of spotlight, which
is so often only available from
the top front. Although this
method of lighting may be
successful from the theatrical
point of view, it is hopeless
for the camera, and as soon as
partial lighting is employed
to produce an effect, there
is little actinic value left to
take the picture by.
On the other hand, the
lights are usually more than
would be required by the
photographer, and by skil¬
fully eliminating some of
them, almost any type of
lighting may be achieved.

Often it is necessary to
cover a considerable depth
of focus in order to pose a
picture to suit the scene
without giving it the appear¬
ance of a set group, par¬
ticularly where a number of
people are posed and most
of the stage is brought into
use. Under these conditions
the use of a portable lamp
is out of the question, and
it will be found best to have
all the lights switched on, and

It must also be remembered that
the lights are usually grouped in rows,
one switch putting on all the foot¬
lights, another the first row above, and
so on ; but this difficulty is chiefly felt
with the footlights, and it is an easy
matter to cut out individual lamps
by standing a piece of cardboard in
front, or where possible removing
the globe.
Naturally, a great depth of focus
will necessitate a comparatively small

camera stop ; but as the picture will
have to be posed in any case, it
matters little that the exposure will
require to be a couple of seconds, and
most scenes with the average amount
of light can be taken at f/8 within
this limit.
Individual character studies can
often be arranged before or after a
reheaxsal, and with numerous stage
props, near at hand there is enormous
scope for this type of work ; in addition
to character studies, many plays
favour old-time costume, and it is
not Unusual to find spinning-wheels
and quaint old pieces of furniture
amongst the props, that will help out a
setting for the crinoline, or futuristic
scenery in front of which the ultra¬
modern type can
be posed.
Although almost
any type of rapid
plate or film can
be employed for
stage photography,
it is one of the
cases where the real
value of panchro¬
matic material will
be appreciated, and
the extreme rapid¬
ity to half-watt
light of the double-
coated panchro¬
matic plates and
films will enable
the shortest possi¬
ble exposures to be
made. These will
provide the greatest gradation of tone,
whilst reducing the hard whites which
are often so prominent when photo¬
graphing white costumes or light
patches on the scenery by artificial
light.
Almost any type of camera can be
used for stage photography, but a
tripod or other firm support is neces¬
sary. If it is a question of focussing
on the ground glass instead of setting
the lens by scale, it will be found an
advantage to carry a small electric
torch, over the front of which a piece
of black paper has been stuck. A
number of small holes are punched
in the paper, and if one of the cast
holds the torch at the point of focus,
it takes but a second to sharpen the
brilliant dots on the ground glass.
A little experience wjII soon enable
even the novice at this kind of work
to obtain successful results, and if he
so desires he will find a ready sale for
his prints among the cast.

DEPTH OF FOCUS.— II.
NOTES £ NOTIONS
tAe
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
Last week I showed that it was an
_j easy matter to work out the
hyper-focal distance for any lens
at any aperture ; and that when the
lens is focussed accordingly, every¬
thing from half that distance onwards
will be sharply defined according to
the standard of definition decided
upon. Once this hyper-focal distance
is known it is also an easy matter to
work out depth-of-focus (distances for
any plane on which the lens may be
focussed. The calculations are rather
more lengthy, even if we do not
trouble about odd inches.
General points to bear in mind may
be mentioned first. If a lens is
focussed on a given plane, other planes
both nearer and farther away will be
sharp at the same time. The distance
of good definition behind the plane
focussed upon is always greater than
the distance before it. The longer
the focal length of the lens, the larger
the f/ number, and the nearer the
plane focussed upon, the shallower
will be the field of good definition.
Put the contrary way, short focal
length, a small stop, anci focussing on a
distant object, give the greatest depth.
Now for the practical problem. It
is ; If we focus on a given plane,
what is the distance of the nearest
plane that will be equally sharp ; and,
secondly, what is the distance of the
farthest plane that will be equally
sharp ?
Here is the rule for the first opera¬
tion :
(HxD) (H-t-D)
where H stands for the hyper-focal
distance, and D for the distance of the
plane focussed upon. As the rule
shows, we divide their product by
their sum.
Last week we found that the hyper-
focal distance of a 3-in. lens at f/8
was i8f ft. If we set the scale at
5 ft., what is the nearest plane that
will be sharp ?
(i8|X5) (18H-5)
=93i -h 23!
= 371 X ^ = 4 ft.
4 95 ^
Here is the rule for the second
operation :
(HxD) ^ (H-D)
That is, we divide the product by the
difference. So continuing with the
same lens, etc., we have
(i8fX5) ^ (i8|-5)
= 93i -P 13I
We find that in this case if we set
the scale at 5 ft. everything will be
sharp from 4 ft. to 6 ft. 9 in. There
is always some latitude of this kind ;
and I think that a good many photo¬
graphers are inclined to exaggerate
the necessity for range-finders and
other gadgets. They point trium¬
phantly to the sharp definition they
get ; but others easily get the same
results without the gadgets. Scientific
and elaborate gun-laying is in some
cases absolutely necessary, but it is
no use on the grouse-moors, or amongst
the rabbits.
Unless we are to miss a good many
camera shots, we must learn to esti¬
mate distances quickly, and with
sufficient accuracy to keep within
the margin of safety that depth of
focus gives us. We should bear in
mind that the margin is greater
beyond than before, and err (if at aU)
on the near side.
Suppose that in the example just
worked out the object we wished to get
sharp was actually exactly 5 ft. from
the lens, but that we guessed it at 4 ft.
and set the scale accordingly. I need
not show the working all over again,
but the depth of focus at 4 ft. is from
3 ft., 4 in. to 5 ft. I in., so that even
with so great an error as one foot in
five, no trouble results. As the dis¬
tance estimated increased, the latitude
would increase also.
I am emphasising this, because it
does not seem to h)e realised how much
14
350
October 17th, 1934
depth of focus there is with short-focus
lenses and moderate apertures, and
these are just what so many of us
use. When it comes to longer focal
lengths and large apertures the case is
different. I gave last week an ex¬
ample of a lo-in. lens at f/4. Suppose
we focus this at 5 ft. Our depth of
focus works out at from 4 ft. ii in. to
5 ft. I in., and barely that. No lati¬
tude here ! This is why we see
studio heads with the eye sharp, and
the tip of the nose and ear fuzzy.
Fortunately we beginners need not
fear such terrors.
The practical outcome of all this
is that I advise every beginner who
has a focussing camera to compile a
“ depth-of-focus table.” First work
out the hyper-focal distance for
each stop, as explained last week.
Then from each such hyper-focal
distance, work out the depth of focus
for each of the distances marked on
the focussing scale. You will then be
able to see at a glance what latitude
you have got in every case that can
arise.
There are some cameras — but only
very few — which have a depth-of-
focus table attached. When set for
a particular distance the indicator
shows, by marks on either side of it,
the depth of focus at various stops.
There are naturally limits to what can
be included, and the best plan is, as
iHi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
a G CINEMATOGRAPHER a
suggested, to make a complete table
on a small folding card.
When the focal length of the lens
is given in centimetres and millimetres,
two courses are open in making the
calculations. The first is to convert
the focal length into inches. The
second, and better, way is to make the
calculations in centimetres, and con¬
vert the distances finally obtained
into feet and inches. A close approxi¬
mation is sufficient.
The illustration has nothing to do
with these notes, but has a bearing
on something I wish to say next week,
for which I shall require all the
further illustration room available.

Letters to the Editor
^ The Editor is not responsible for the opinions of his correspondents.
DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — I have read with interest the letter of Mr. J. A. Stir¬
ling. I have had the same experience as he has — film sticking
to the wrapper, and portions of the negative torn off. In my
case the manufacturer’s salesman informed me the developer
had crystallised on the wrapper, and suggested a new wrapper,
which I purchased ; but after a few developments the same
thing occurred again.
To cut a long story short — the fault lies in mishandling.
If Mr. Stirling will carefully follow directions in the instruction
book he will have no trouble. In the first place, he cannot roll
his wrapper up too tight — the tighter the better.
The procedure I have found satisfactory is to roll apron and
film up tightly, and, when removing from the bo.x, slip a rubber
band round, and see that the corrugated rubber edges are
level. Avoid touching apron in case of buckling, and, when
ready, lower into the tank very slowly, and when in the tank
expel air by lifting up a few times under the surface of the
developer.
If Mr. Stirling will do this he will have no more spoilt films,
and better negatives than he would get in a dark-room.
The fault, I believe, is the apron not being kept in its true
position, probably through not using a rubber band. The
loose ends would fall, and the negative would come in contact
with the apron in places. In its proper position the film
could not possibly touch the apron. — Yours, etc.,
T. W. JONES.
Sir, — I have been a user of a Kodak developing tank as
described by Mr. Stirling for over twenty-five years, and have
developed hundreds of spools during that time, and have only
had two instances of anything approaching what he describes.
This was caused by the film being threaded under the empty
bobbin in the camera instead of over when loading. It is also
necessary to see that the apron is quite dry before loading in
the film.— Yours, etc., F. J. WILDE.
Sir, — Referring to Mr. J. A. Stirling’s letter and to the
diflSculty he finds in preventing the emulsion adhering to
the apron.
There is obviously some error in Mr. Stirling’s method of
winding film and apron on to the spool, as at no point should
the film come in contact with the apron.
The emulsion side of the film should face the inside of the
apron, while the paper backing should be wound firmly in
contact with the outside of the apron. The rubber edging
of the apron (between which the film lies) will then prevent
the emulsion making contact, and will also permit free access
of the developer.
To ensure this, and to prevent any sagging of the film,
slight but firm pressure should be maintained on the idle
winder while winding on to the spool the film and apron.
Assuming the free end of the film has been fixed down to
the backing paper, and the film and apron correctly attached
to the spool, there is simply no possibility of the trouble
mentioned recurring if this simple precaution is adopted.
Any surplus backing paper should be left wound and a
small elastic band slipped over it to prevent slacking off.
Care should be observed in cleaning the - apron to avoid
buckling or denting, as these might come in contact with the
emulsion and so prevent the developer acting on such parts.
I am, of course, referring to the Kodak roll-film developing
tank.— Yours, etc., THOS. T. KERR.
THE MINIATURE CAMERA.
Sir, — As one who has failed to obtain satisfaction from a
particular type of miniature photography, Mr. Maclean’s letter
interests me, especially his reference to negatives " capable of
a high degree of enlargement,”- and I should welcome the
views of other readers on this point.
Because I take a fair number of contact prints during the
year I have never considered the use of a camera giving a
smaller size than that popularly known as V.P.K., and, because
I am unable to afford an e.xpensive lens, I have had on trial
at different times a number of instruments fitted with the
cheaper f/4. 5 anastigmats. The cameras, however, have been
by well-known makers and I am forced to admit that the
defining powers of the lenses in question have been most dis¬
appointing, any enlargement above postcard size bearing
obvious testimony to the fact that the picture has been
" boosted ” up from a small negative.
Up to date I have not tried a fine-grain film, for the simple
reason that the trouble appeared to be in the failure of the
lens, in which case no amount of " fine-graining ” would save
the situation. I should be extremely interested in any similar
experiences of your readers, and very grateful for any advice,
either from readers or the trade. — Yours, etc.,
G. B. BURR.
Sir, — There may be others who, like myself, own a heavy
reflex and also a miniature camera, and while hating the
weight and bulk of the former, enjoy the ease and accuracy of
‘‘ processing ” (horrible word !) plates.
Conversely, while revelling in the lightness and small size
of the latter, they detest the messiness, awkwardness, and
general cussedness of films in the dark-room, the moods and
finicky nature of aprons, and so on. To these I may recom¬
mend the following tip in dealing with small film rolls. I turn
the length into a plate by pinning it on to a piece of wood a
little wider than the film, with a drawing pin at each end.
With corners rounded off this will just fit into a whole-plate
dish diagonally. It can be developed, fixed and washed
without handling.
I agree that the ” perfect ” camera ought to be able to take
plates, but not that a reflex viewer is necessary in these days
of range-finder focussing. Why are no British small hand
pameras fitted with these excellent devices ? — Yours, etc.,
H. S. GASKELL.

E. W. Chadwick.
exposure I consider development the
most important, and always develop
in accordance with the subject. For
one of great contrast I use Azol or
Rodinal ; but the M.Q. developer is
my standard, and I nearly always
give each plate one minute in the
developer to five minutes in water.
By so doing I get a nicely gradated
negative which will give a good print
on chloro-bromide paper, or make a
good lantern slide. I always develop
in total darkness.
“ For the final print I use chloro-
bromide or bromide according to the
type of subject ; and it is always my
aim to try to illustrate some of the
many moods of nature. I have tried
bromoil, but I have not yet been able
to master this process as I would wish.
However, I intend to keep on until
I do, as I consider this process to be
the best means of expression in
photography. Although I am no
purist, I dislike to see a print that
is not ‘ clean.’ Personally, I prefer
to work on the negative, using Far¬
mer’s reducer for local reduction,
and Coccine dye for holding back any
particular part.
" I think the best thing of all in
photography is the lantern slide, and
I have spent hours endeavouring to
produce what I consider good slides.
I use the plates now known as the
Ilford Warm Tone, and I adopt
James Shaw’s formula for developing,
always trying to make a slide that has
as wide a range of tone as possible.
“ I have found that the path of a
would-be pictorialist is not easy, but
I am always trying to produce some¬
thing that is better than what I have
done before. With this thought in
my mind I go out looking for the
masterpiece which never comes ; but
after all, one must remember that
once one becomes satisfied the interest
is sure to wane.”

Some Critical Comments “ ®®Te"Tpposite pagf
There is something of originality
and freshness of outlook in
No. I of the prints reproduced
on the opposite page — “ Fame and
Glory,” by F. M. Stanley — but, never¬
theless, its appeal is appreciably
diminished by the departure of the
top of the monument from the
true vertical. These qualities, there¬
fore, are not conveyed as well as they
might be.
Small Things and Large.
The fault is a small thing, no doubt,
but its effect oir the print is just the
reverse. It is one which is so easily
corrected that it gives rise to the
suggestion that, instead of being
intentional, the effort was accidental
and more or less haphazard.
The quality of originality, which
should be one of the features of the
work is,_ in effect, replaced by that
of ineptitude. Decision is lacking,
and, in consequence, the work does
not betray the sureness of touch that
might be expected if intention were
accompanied by accuracy in execution.
If the print were trimmed so as to
show the monument as a true vertical,
decisiveness would follow, and the
suggestion of novelty would take its
proper place in the scheme.
It would then serve the purpose of
enhancing the pictorial motive which
lies in the beautifully clouded sky.
That effect has been very well seen,
and the suggestion of originality
arising from the unusual viewpoint —
sought but scarcely realised — should
have conferred a value that a more
ordinary impression could not have
achieved.
The Virtue of Decision.
No. 2, “ Evening,” by G. L. Mallett,
is something of a contrast. Here,
there is no lack of decision, and, if
there is no departure from the normal
point of view, the picture, in its
class, is so well carried out that
anything of the sort us quite un¬
necessary.
The spot of light in the top left-
hand corner is a bit unfortunate, and,
if its author is equal to spotting it out
without the alteration becoming ap¬
parent it might as well be removed.
In other respects the subject is
exceedingly well handled, and, while
there may be a suggestion of ” posing ”
about the figure, it scarcely impairs
the quite considerable attraction the
work exhibits.
Nos. 7 and 8, “ Idle Moments,” by
Norman S. Shaw, and “ Still Waters,”
by J. Dykins, also show the inclusion
of a human interest ; but, in these two
cases, their authors have been more
ambitious, and two figures are dealt
with instead of one.
It naturally follows that the diffi¬
culties of handling them are intensified.
In fact, the inclusion of a second
figure more than doubles the amount
of trouble it is necessary to take where
only one is dealt with. It is not easy
to catch one in a satisfactory pose,
but to secure it with two, at the same
instant of time, and get a good group¬
ing as well, takes a good deal of effort,
to say nothing of an element of luck.
Possibly No. 7 is the more successful
of the two, though the author has
contented himself with a back view, for
the group appeals as a whole, and
the left-hand figure has just sufficient
extra pull to give him principality.
The effect of sunshine, too, is nicely
suggested, and not only does the work
score over No. 8 in this respect, but it
also displays a greater degree of unity.
Division of Unity.
In No. 7 the group attracts as a
whole, but in No. 8 there is a division
of interest arising from the fact that
the figures are placed on opposite sides
of the print ; their attraction is about
equal, and neither can claim any
superiority over the other.
The one pulls against the other,
whereas, in the case of No. 7, the
puli of the two figures was ' united.
If two figures be included, and happen
to be placed one on each side of the
print, one must show a preponderating
degree of importance, the other being
relegated to serving in the capacity of
a balancing but subsidiary accent.
If not, there is no means of avoiding
a conflict of interest ; but, where the
two are placed in close proximity, the
same conflict does not arise as long
as there is just' the slightest difference
between them. Reference to the
prints themselves will make the dis¬
tinction clear ; and, with regard to the
feeling of sunshine, this suffers in
comparison, it is true, but, all the
same, it is nicely rendered, and it is
only because the effect is more con¬
centrated in the other that it gets
across so much better.
Shadows and Sunshine.
With the exception of the figures,
almost the whole of No. 7 is either in
shadow or in a low tone, and, because
the presence of shadows makes the
sunlight evident, it tells better than
in the latter, where the figures are
neither so isolated in tone, where the
shadows are decidedly in the minority,
and where the arrangement, owing to
the division of interest, is not so
coherent.
It is the foreground shadow, too,
in the case of No. 5, “ Sunshine,” by
S. J. Vella, that warrants the choice
of such a title. Without that shadow,
there would be evidence of sunlight,
but, because it would be all over the
picture, it could not rank as an effect,
and, pictorially, it would be valueless.
The same obtains with No. 6,
“ The Abbey Gate,” by T. W. Collins.
The shadowed foreground makes the
sunshine on the building apparent,
and, were the brighter tone of the
sky omitted, it would convey the
effect quite as well as No. 5. The
inclusion of the sk}^ introduces a note
of competition between the two lights.
Relative Values.
With such an arrangement of the
subject, it is difficult to suggest an
effect of sunshine. It does occasion¬
ally happen, in certain lighting con¬
ditions, that buildings in sunlight
seem to be actually brighter than the
sky. If they can be so rendered, the
sunshine effect would be retained, but
the rendering of the relative values
is not easy photographically, because
of the preponderating sensitiveness of
the ordinary plate or film to blue and
ultra-violet light.
The difficulty can be overcome by
the use of suitably screened pan¬
chromatic emulsions, and, in similar
cases, they may well be tried. They
would at least be a help, also, in
subjects like Nos. 3 and 4, ” Bolton
Abbey,” by N. Wilkinson, and ” Sun¬
shine and Shade,” by Miss M. M.
Bailey, where the skies, again, are
rather too assertive. “ Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial worki
HELPING HANDS,” hy S. J. Kharegat.
Reference was made overleaf
to the difficulty of arranging a
composition when more than
one figure was dealt with. Two, it
was stated, increased the task quite
disproportionately, and, when the
number is still further added to, it
can be imagined how rarely it is that
a successful grouping is obtained.
Good Grouping.
Nevertheless, it sometimes
happens that when a number
of figures are engaged upon a
task which absorbs all their
energies, and the photographer
is sufficiently wary to avoid
attracting their attention, a
good grouping can be secured,
and something of the sort
seems to have occurred in
this instance.
At the same time, it must
be admitted that it is no
easy matter to get such a
result, for the choice of the
right moment for the ex¬
posure must be very ac¬
curately foreseen and no less
promptly seized, or the op¬
portunity, rare as it is, will
be gone for ever. Here, there
has been no mistake, and a
very happy grouping has
resulted. The figures are
instinct with life and action ;
the impression is spontaneous
and free from the slightest
suggestion of camera con¬
sciousness ; the formation of
the group, from the com¬
positional standpoint, is ex¬
cellent ; and the sunshine on
the figures lends the attrac¬
tion of its beautifying influence.
The order in which the figures are
seen, from left to right, determines
their order of precedence. The one
on the extreme left (i) is obviously
the most important. His significance
is stressed by his proximity ; by his
position in the picture space ; by the
fact that, in his outline, are contained
the greatest extremes of tone ; and
it is further enhanced by his obvious
leadership in the action that is taking
place.
Cohesion and Dominance.
These factors aU contribute towards
his dominance, and, as the main
attraction centres in his figure, and
the subsidiary appeal in the group of
which he forms an element, the first
essential in the arrangement of the
composition is established.
It is, however, necessary that, in
the interest of the composition as a
whole, the group itself should be
coherent and display a satisfactory
formation.
The proximity of the various figures
to one another, to a large extent, pro¬
vides the needful sense of cohesion, and,
concerning the form, it approximates
to what is known as a pyramidal
construction, the two sides of which
are furnished by the left-hand side
of the figure (i) and, on the right, by
the sense of direction imparted by the
line of the pole, the base being formed
by a line drawn through the several
pairs of feet to the point where the
pole goes under the bow of the boat.
358
The formation in question, like a
pyramid in actual fact, conveys an
impression of strength and firmness.
It stands fixed and immovable upon
its base, and, apart from anything
else, would be sufficient to ensure that
sense of order which it is the function
of the arrangement to provide.
In the recession of the figures, too,
there is the attraction exer¬
cised by a feeling of repetition,
and, altogether, the composi¬
tion is remarkably successful ;
particularly so, having regard
to its nature and the difficul¬
ties attendant upon getting
so many figures satisfactorily
posed at the same time.
As for the pictorial effect
of sunlight, it is well sug¬
gested ; but, nevertheless, it is
open to question if its bril¬
liance is as well conveyed as
it might have been if a some¬
what lighter key had been
adopted.
Key and the Subject.
The tones of the print, it
is true, are very full and
rich, and this richness no
doubt owes something of its
quality to the sombreness of
the key ; but, at the same
time, the no less valuable
quahty of brilliance is neces¬
sarily impaired, and it occurs
to one to wonder if a better
compromise could not be
found.
A shghtly greater contrast
in the negative, or the choice
of a printing paper of some¬
what greater vigour, might
be expected to confer a greater bright¬
ness without any appreciable loss of
richness in the darker portions, and,
if another print be made, it would be
as well to experiment along these
lines.
In other respects, the work is
wholly admirable, and, as far as the
arrangement of the group is con¬
cerned, may be regarded as an
exceptional achievement and an ex¬
cellent example of a well-judged
choice of the psychological moment
for -making the exposure.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
LJSING AMATEUR CIN£ APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Professional Assistance “ ACTINOGRAPHIST.”
The serious cinematographer should miss no opportunity of improving projection methods and the quality
of his output. This article shows just how far his endeavours can be assisted as a result of paying
occasional visits to the professional cinema.
A CONSIDERABLE amount of
matter concerning empty gos¬
sip and other smaller trifles of
the professional film is published day
by day and week by week with sur¬
prising regularity. And this, it may
be agreed, is regrettable — if only for
the reason that the cause of cinema¬
tography could be better served by
discussing those other aspects of the
him which appeal more strongly to
ordinary people.
Amateur cinematographers may
themselves object to such matter on
the^j grounds that it entirely ignores
the true accomplishments of their
professional colleagues, and so does
nothing to indicate what hlms can
and what hlms cannot show them how
to improve the quality of their own
output. One of these days, there may
be an adequate supply of professional
critics able to discuss pictures from
a cinematic point of view, able to
regard the him as an achievement of
purpose and not as a mere framework
for supporting a trashy story, an
outrageously -boosted cast, ’ a few
irritating tunes and the usual etceteras
— including (should the critic pride
himself on his knowledge of " tech¬
nique ”) a chance to praise some pretty
photography ! Until this comes about,
serious amateurs must continue to visit
the professional cinemas and to study
these neglected points of direction and
assembly for themselves ; for although
we may be contemptuous of contem¬
porary gossip we can have nothing
but admiration for the purposeful
efforts of responsible hlm-makers.
At the Cinema.
One of the hrst things to observe
on entering any well-managed pro¬
fessional cinema is the amount of
effort expended in making its visitors
comfortable. This may seem only a
minor matter — indeed, compared with
the heavier duties of direction, it
may be ; nevertheless, it is an impor¬
tant concern from the point of view
of the enthusiast who does not want
his guests to fidget uncomfortably
during the presentation of his own
productions.
Another important detail to observe
is the manner in which the pictures
are projected. It will be noticed that
the showing of a six- or eight-reel
subject is accompanied bj’ no appre¬
ciable breaks to mark the switching
over from one projector to the other.
This may be in direct contrast to
existing amateur shows — where, even
though two projectors be available,
there are still occasional slight inter¬
ruptions and overlapping during the
changes.
It may also be noticed that the
pictures comprising the programmes
are arranged for showing in a manner
well calculated to preserve pleasing
balance. A couple of medium-length
pictures may come first, then the
main feature of the evening, and,
finally, another film of medium foot¬
age to complete the composition.
Even the “ continuous programme ”
theatres preserve this composition by
providing a break or interval at the
conclusion of each full showing.
Another valuable hint that may be
gleaned from the presentation of
“ silent ” features — alas ! all too rare
in the modern programme — which are
accompanied by a musical background.
This concerns the manner in which
selected musical accompaniments are
made to strengthen and even to create
film atmosphere.
Attention should also be directed to
the clever use of cadenza in facilitating
the change from one selection to
another using a different key.
Here is a good topical cine subject easy to come across at this time of year. The figiire im¬
parts human interest, and the drifting smoke gives the subject a certain pictorial appeal.

With regard to the films themselves,
only a few here and there may be
found to hold any inspiration or
guidance for the serious cinemato¬
grapher. But even that few should be
regarded as sufficient to make all his
visits to the cinema worth while.
The matter which must always be
regarded as most important is the
manner in which episodes and even
whole stories are conveyed. It is,
for example, no very ambitious treat¬
ment which is satisfied to have the
characters parade every piece of their
action — step by step, as on the legiti¬
mate stage — before the camera. It
is even less ambitious to inflict further
explanation in the form of a talkie
accompaniment that leaves little, if
any, room for cinematic direction.
The vast possibilities of good direc¬
tion can, for this reason, be better
appreciated in the silent productions
and in those audible films which have
a “ sound ” basis as distinct from a
" talkie ” basis. What we must look
for are cinematic devices — devices
which convey what has to be con¬
veyed effectively, and in a manner
which permits the camera to be used
with skill and vision. The close-up
is one such device ; the moving
camera is another ; whilst such things
as dissolves, animated titles (not, of
course, puerile cartoons), composite
shots and film symbols are amongst
the many smaller devices which, used
intelligently, make all the difference
between cinematography and mere
“ movie ” snapshotting.
Continuity is another bugbear to
no small number of amateurs, and
here again the best class of professional
director can afford much guidance to
the amateur enthusiast. Amongst
directors worthy of our attention I
include Arthur Elton, Andrew
Buchanan, Basil Wright and Walt
Disney. Not all of them are well
known, for the reason that they
confine their attentions to medium-
footage films as distinct from glamor¬
ous, “ all-star ” movies ; and, of
course, such brilliant directors as
Eisenstein and I’Herbier cannot be
cited as models until cinema executives
begin to rent their films.
Finally, I must say a word or two
about photography as such. More than
one astute director has commenced
his work by engaging a camera-man
with an eye for composition and
effects. The efforts of such camera¬
men — which include F. A. Wagner,
Tisse, Gunther Kramp and George
Noble — may still be seen at the pro¬
fessional cinemas, and after we have
considered the major matter of direc¬
tion we may well ponder whether our
own photography would not be the
better for a little well-disposed inspira¬
tion of this kind.

Archway
Photography
By L. BURDEKIN.
There can be few better settings for a photograph
than that of an archway, for this provides a natural
framework, and also gives interest to the foreground.
It is one of the most attractive phases of exterior architec¬
tural work, and can be attempted with almost any type
of camera.
An old cathedral town affords splendid scope for this
subject, for here we can generally find all types of arches
and gateways.
At the same time that we are studying buildings from the
photographer’s point of view, we can add also to our
knowledge of architecture, and through this learn some¬
thing more of the history of our race. Throughout the
ages great men have tried to record their highest ideals in
buildings that should be worthy of handing down to
posterity.
In photography of this kind it is advisable to use a tripod,
in order to allow the lens to be stopped down to secure
detail, and an increased exposure given. It also enables_the
camera to be kept level. Moreover, by this means we can
keep the camera trained on the subject while we watch
for the moment for exposure.
Canterbury Cathedral.
Canterbury.
A flat front lighting will not show the modelling of the
carving ; plenty of light and shade is needed to get the
full beauty of carved stonework. In the morning photo¬
graphs should be taken of the south and west parts of the
building, in the afternoon of the south and east, as this
illumination will give the best results.
When doorways have to be taken into consideration
we should try to choose a time when the door is open ;
a closed door gives a very uninteresting and flat appearance.
On the other hand, when photographing an arch, we should
avoid having too much detail in the background, if we do
not want the interest to be taken away from the archway
itself.
As our concern will be mostly with stationary objects,
the speed of the lens need not be great. A stop of f/8
and a speed of i,/25th second will be the highest we shall
require, but occasionally a smaller stop and exposures up
to one second will be necessary if the subject is dark. A
panchromatic plate and filter will frequently give much
better tonal rendering of old stonework, but if a film camera
is used one of the ’chrome films is very good for the pur¬
pose. In any case, keep the back of the camera level and
vertical to avoid distorted lines in the photograph.
'When, as is often the case, there is a brightly lighted
vista seen through the archway, the subject will generally
be one that must be classed as of “ great contrast.” The
best way to deal with such a subject is to follow the old
maxim of exposing for the dark part of the subject, and
cutting down the time of development to avoid clogging
and over-density of the bright parts. The dodge of partly
“ developing ” in plain water may also come in useful.

. ANNUAL .
Lantern-Slide Competition
. 1934 .
Every reader of The Amateur Photographer who is interested in the making of lantern slides
should participate in “ The A.P.” Annual Lantern-Slide Competition. Not only are the
seven classes comprehensive in their variety of subjects to suit all workers, but inclusion of
slides in “ The A.P.” prize set which circulates throughout the British Isles, can be considered as
the hall-mark of excellence, which every lantern-slide maker should strive for. Each succeeding
year the competition proves increasingly popular, and has come to be regarded as a test of merit in
lantern-slide production. We hope, therefore, that again this year every lantern-slide maker will
enter the competition. The conditions and awards are set out below. It should be noted that
the awards are made to individual slides and not to sets ; but every competitor can send as many slides into as many classes as he or
she desires. The slides are judged on the screen under the best conditions. After the judging the prize-winning slides, and a
number of others which are selected for purchase, form the exhibition collection which goes on tour to all parts of the country for a
year or more. Secretaries of photographic societies who have not yet booked the set of “ A.P.” Prize Slides should hasten to do so,
and submit alternative dates. This is necessary to enable a complete and expeditious itinerary to be arranged before the slides start on
their journey in November. In the meantime, those who intend entering this competition should note that the closing date for
receiving entries is Wednesday, October 31st.
Classes and Subjects.
Class I. — Landscape with or without figures, sea
subjects and river scenery.
Class II. — Portraiture and figure studies, whether
indoor or outdoor pictures.
Class III. — Architecture, interior and exterior.
Class IV. — Flowers, fruit and other " StiU-Life
subjects.
Class V. — Natural History subjects.
Class VI. — Lantern slides in colour (not hand-
coloured).
Class VI I. — Champion Class. Open only to those who
have won silver or bronze plaques in
The Amateur Photographer and Cine¬
matographer lantern-slide competition.
Conditions and Awards.
(1) All classes are open to amateur and professional photo¬
graphers without any restrictions. All slides must measure
3i ^ 3jin.,andmustbeproperlyspottedforshowinginthelantern.
(2) One silver plaque, one bronze plaque, and four certifi¬
cates are offered in each class except Class VII. In that, the
Champion Class, the award will be a mounted and signed exhi¬
bition picture by Mr. F. J. Mortimer, the Editor of The A mateur
Photographer and Cinematographer and Photograms of the Year.
(3) All slides which receive any award will become the
property of The Amateur Photographer and Cinematographer,
and will be sent round amongst the societies and such other
associations as apply for the loan of them. Any other slides
may be selected for circulation in this manner, and will be
paid for at the rate of half a crown each.
(4) Competitors may send any number of slides in any class,
and may be recorded as -winning any number of awards ; but
no competitor will actually receive in the competition more
than one silver plaque, one bronze plaque, and one certificate,
on which all his awards will be recorded. Competitors may
enter in any number of classes.
(5) Each slide must bear the competitor’s name, its title
and its class. With the slides must be sent an envelope con¬
taining the name and full address of the competitor, a list of
the titles of all the slides he is sending in, and the class in which
such are entered. Particulars as to make of plate, exposure,
developer used, etc., and other technical data which may be
of interest for incorporation in the notes- which will accompany
the winning slides on their tour among the photographic
societies, should also be given where thought necessary.
(6) A stamped and addressed label (not loose stamps) should
be sent with the slides for their return if unsuccessful ; but in
no circumstances can the Editor or the Publishers accept any
responsibility for slides sent in for competition, nor for their
return ; neither can slides be returned which are not accom¬
panied by stamps as above.
(7) Not more than one slide from any one negative can be
admitted, nor may any slide compete which has before won an
award in these competitions.
(8) The last day for receiving is Wednesday, October 31st.
The slides must be well packed and addressed, " Slide
Competition, The Editor, The Amateur Photographer and
Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London,
S.E.i,” and all carriage charges must be prepaid.
(g) In any case of dispute, the competitor agrees to accept
the decision of the Editor of The Amateur Photographer and
Cinematographer as final.

MEWS AND REVIEWS
X ^ ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
The Westminster Photographic Ex¬
change, Ltd., of Camera House, 119,
Victoria Street, S.W.i, have just issued
their " Westminster Annual of Photo¬
graphic Accessories.” This is a book of
two hundred pages crammed full of
attractive matter for the amateur photo¬
grapher. It does not pretend to list the
well-known cameras, lenses and major
apparatus of the photographer, but deals
essentially with everything that can be
described as accessories and materials.
Cases, shutters, view-finders, filters,
meters, roll-holders, tripods, safelights,
dishes, measures, racks, retouching desks,
albums, dark-room clocks, tanks, print¬
ing frames, mounts, illuminants, de¬
velopers, printing papers — in fact, the
hundred and one items that every keen
amateur photographer possesses or would
like to possess. It will prove a most
fascinating volume for every reader of
this paper, and is singularly complete* in
that in addition to full particulars of
the accessories they are in most cases
fully illustrated. As a reference book
alone it is worth having and keeping for
frequent consultation. All readers should
apply for this Annual, which will be
forwarded post free on application to the
above address.
Mr. Desmond Sheen, of 32, Brighton
Road, Sutton, Surrey, is anxious to
form a cinematograph society in the
neighbourhood. Will any reader inter¬
ested in this suggestion please com¬
municate with him ? He needs the help
of several cinematographers to organise
the club, which he suggests should have
both a film-making and a social side.
We are asked to warn photographic
dealers and others against a man who
is going about the country victimising
them. His usual procedure is to borrow
cine films — “ supers ” for preference —
ostensibly for someone in the town.
When the address he gives is rung up
later nothing is known of the man, who
has then disappeared with his booty.
He also offers films for sale. He is
described thus : About 5 ft. 10 in. ;
brown hair ; trench coat and plus-
fours ; no hat ; talks very slowly and
deliberately.
Messrs. J. H. D^llmeyer, Ltd., 31,
Mortimer Street, Oxford Street, London,
W.i, have a fine catalogue of photo¬
graphic and cinematograph apparatus
and lenses that should be in the hands
of every photographer. It gives the
fullest information, including prices, of
all these productions, and is beautifully
illustrated. The same firm ofiers the
fourth edition of their booklet, " Why a
Telephoto Lens ? ” which is not only a
special catalogue, but a valuable treatise
on this interesting field of work. We
cordially commend both to the attention
of our readers.
A specially interesting series of lectures
has been arranged at the Royal Institu¬
tion of Great Britain, 21, Albemarle
Street, London, W.i, on Tuesdays,
October 30th, November 6th and 13th,
at 5.15 p.m. The lecturer is Mr. Olaf
Bloch, head of the research laboratory of
Messrs. Ilford, Ltd., and his subjects
come under the general head of " Pro¬
gress and Problems in Photography.”
Synopses of the lectures indicate their
outstanding value and interest. Admis¬
sion to this group of lectures is 7s. 6d.,
or 3s. for a single lecture, while for a
guinea a ticket can be obtained that
will cover all the lectures to be delivered
before Christmas. Members of the
Institution are admitted free.
The South London Group of the
Kodak Fellowship has arranged an
outing to Penshurst (with a peep at
Chiddingstone and Hever) for Sunday,
October 21st. A motor coach will leave
Charing Cross at i p.m., returning by
about 8.30 p.m. The coach fare is
3s. 3d. Further details can be obtained
from Kodak Fellowship, 401, New
Cross Road, S.E.14. (Telephone, New
Cross 1903.)
The Traveller’s Pocket Reference
Note Book is a publication that every
amateur photographer who travels should
possess. It is issued as a supplement to
the ■' XXth Century Health and Pleasure
Resorts,” and covers the whole of
Europe. It includes useful matter re¬
garding sports, sights, hotels and schools,
etc., advice on travelling by road, rail
and steamship, and a mass of useful
information not usually to be found in
any other one volume. It is issued in
handy pocket form and is published by
Anglo-Continental and International
Publishing Offices, Ltd., of Lausanne.
The address of the English office to
which applications should be made in
connection with the books is Warwick
Chambers, Corporation Street, Birming¬
ham.
The Isle of Man Photographic Compe¬
tition organised by the I.O.M. Publicity
Board has proved very successful, and
attracted entries from all parts of the
United Kingdom. £250 were offered in
cash prizes in five classes, and the
prints had to be of pictorial subjects
taken in the Island by visitors during
the 1934 season. The fact that over
5,000 photographs were submitted indi¬
cated that the Isle of Man was not only an
attractive holiday centre, but also that
it made a strong appeal to the amateur
photographer. All the classes were
well supported, and the standard of
the work was high, both in respect to
technical and pictorial merit. This was
assisted by the rules, which made it
compulsory for all prints to be in black-
363
and-white on glossy paper, and not
exceeding whole-plate in size. The
prize-winning prints therefore scored on
straight photographic quality, and all
concerned are to be congratulated.
The entry form for the thirtieth
annual exhibition of the City of London
and Cripplegate Photographic Society is
now ready, and will be sent to any reader
of Vhe Amateur Photographer on appli¬
cation. The exhibition will again be
held at the Cripplegate Institute, Golden
Lane, E.C.i, and the last day for receiv¬
ing entries is Monday, February nth,
1935. There are two open classes and
six members’ classes. The Hon. Exhi¬
bition Secretary is J. R. P. Hilliard, 86,
Downton Avenue, Streatham Hill, S.W.2.

‘Deaders' Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed ; “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematographer^ Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,’* and in every case, without exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — .A-dvice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply w'ith the rules must be
ignored.
(1) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
for criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. {7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so tloing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptlv with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Spots on Films.
What is the cause of the black spots on the enclosed
films ? I have found the same spots on films
developed by a professional firm.
A. M. M. (Hastings.)
Although we cannot say for certain
we should think the trouble with your
negatives is due to undissolved particles
in the developer, but we are surprised
to learn that anything of the sort has
occurred with professionally developed
films. We advise you to make up the
developer according to instructions,
and then to filter it before using it.
Gaslight Paper for Enlarging.
What is the objection to using gaslight paper
instead of bromide paper for enlarging ?
F. J. (Exmouth.)
The speed of the emulsion of a gaslight
paper is too low for' it to be suitable
for the purpose.
Varnish from Films.
How can I prepare celluloid varnish from waste
films ? A. T. (Birmingham.)
Clean the gelatine from both sides
with hot water, shred the celluloid, put
it in a bottle, and just cover with amyl
acetate. 'When the celluloid has dis¬
solved, thin down if necessary, and
filter through a double thickness of
muslin. It is used cold.
Telephoto Lens.
What is the telephoto type of lens that can be
used on reflex and other cameras ?
S. J. B. (London.)
It is a lens so constructed that with a
short camera extension it will give an
image about as large as that given by
an ordinary lens of the same equivalent
focus, which would require about double
the extension. Thus a 12-in. ordinary
lens set for distance would be about
12 inches from the plate ; a 12-in.
telephoto would give the same sized
image at about 6 in. from the plate.
Wellington Developer.
Can you give me the Wellington M.Q. developer
containing borax ? E. L. M. (Cambridge.)
We think this is what you want :
Metol . . . . . . 20 grs.
Hydroquinone . . . . 20 grs.
Sodium sulphite . . . . 200 grs.
Borax . . . . . . 200 grs.
Water (hot) . . . . 20 oz.
Dissolve in the order named, and use
neat at a temperature of 60° to 65°
Fahr.
Using Bromide Solution.
How can I tell how much bromide solution to
add to developers for various purposes ?
J. C. B. (London.)
You simply follow the instructions
given with the formula for the particular
developer. To do this you must make
up a solution of known strength. This,
is generally i oz. of potassium bromide
dissolved in water to make a volume of
9 oz. I dr. Every 10 minims of this
will contain one grain of bromide.
Copying.
I have been copying pictures, diagrams, etc., by
daylight. What artificial light should I use, and
where should the lamp be placed ? What expo¬
sure should I give at f/i6 on fine-grain plates ?
H. G. (Nottingham.)
It is rather difficult to deal briefly
with yoiir question. You should use
two lamps with equal power as nearly
in front of the picture as you can get
them without interfering with the line
of sight. They should be screened so
that no direct light from them reaches
the lens. If you have only one lamp
you should give half the exposure with
it on one side and half with it on the
other. It is useless to attempt to
suggest exposure, as this must be found
by actual experiment, and also depends
on the character of the subject copied.
There is some useful information on the
point in the Burroughs Wellcome Diary.
364
Testing Lens.
I have bought a medium-priced anastigmat, and
wish to test it by copying some printed matter.
Can I reasonably expect hair-line sharpness at
both the centre and edges at full aperture ?
E. C. M. (St. Margarets.)
With a good anastigmat lens you
should get satisfactory definition all over
the plate at the same time. The test
you name, however, is a somewhat
severe one, and to get the best results it
might be necessary to stop down the
lens somewhat. It is largely a question
of the degree of definition that you
would consider satisfactory. In our
experience several moderately - priced
anastigmats stand the test quite well.
Infra-red Portrait.
I have attempted to take a portrait by infra-red,
strongly heating two irons and pointing them at
the sitter. Five minutes gave a blank negative.
Will you tell me if the exposure was adequate ?
R. L. H. (London.)
You are evidently unaware of the fact
that to take a portrait by infra-red
rays demands a very powerful light
passed through an infra-red filter. We
should advise you to get the necessary
information on infra-red photography
from Messrs. Ilford, Ltd., of Ilford, Lon¬
don, E., or to buy a textbook on the
subject.
Silhouettes.
I wish to make some silhouette portraits by
posing the sitters in front of a sheet. If a piece of
magnesium ribbon is burned about five feet behind
the sheet will the light be sufiicient for an exposure
of one second at f/8 or f/ii ?
D. J. M. (Surbiton.)
You will have to find out by experi¬
ment the exposure to give for your
silhouette portraits. .\11 that is re¬
quired is to be able to get sufficient
density for the part of the negative
representing the sheet. What exactly
do you mean by “ a piece of magnesium
ribbon ” ? Is it an inch, a yard, or
what ?
Curled Negatives.
Can you tell me how to prevent film negatives
from curling ? G. McD. (Manchester.)
All roll films have a tendency to curl,
in spite of the gelatine coating on the
plain side, and, as far as we know, there
is nothing that will prevent this. You
do not say how you keep your negatives,
but if they are put in envelopes in the
usual way they will not curl unduly.
Making Enlarger.
I am wanting to make an enlarger ; can you let
me know of any books telling me how to do this ?
Will a Ross st-in. f/4.5 lens be suitable for the
above ? S. E. C. (Helper.)
We have frequently pointed out that
we know of no books in print with
instructions how to make an enlarger.
You overlook the fact that there are
dozens of different types, some of
which are quite beyond the capacity of
any amateur to make. The lens you
name would probably be satisfactory
for any enlarger up to quarter-plate size,
but more than this we cannot say. You
say nothing about the size of negatives
you intend to use, nor whether the
enlarger is to be horizontal or vertical,
with or without condenser, nor what
light you propose to employ.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

THE PAIR
Postage and pack¬
ing 6d. extra.
THE REEL is rigidly constructed of stiff, specially
hardened aluminium in the shape illustrated. The
centre hole is cut square on each side and with keyway
to fit all well-known i6-mm. projectors. The edges
of the reel are finely polished and cannot scratch the
film. The film when inserted is ingeniously held by two
weak springs inside the usual slit in the centre core.
THE HUMID CAN is constructed in two parts of
stiff tinned plate, the edges of which are spun over
to prevent broken nails, etc. In the base is fitted the
Humid Element protected by a neat, perforated
metal disc. The lid fits quite snugly to the base.
We particularly emphasise the first-rate work¬
manship and quality of both the above articles. '

MINIATURE CAMERA PERFECTION
TEN ZEISS LENSES
from extreme wide angle, 1^ in., to Telephoto lens of 7J-in. focal
length, and apertures from f/1.5 to f/8, are available for inter¬
changeable use with the Contax. All these Zeiss lenses are
specially constructed Contax lenses, and possess the maximum
defining powers, an indispensable quality with lenses fitted to
miniature cameras. The Contax here illustrated is fitted with Zeiss
Sonnar f/2, the finest universal optical instrument known in mini¬
ature photography. The definition is perfect, the rapidity ample
even for night photography, and the compact mounting of the
lens does not necessitate a collapsible mount, so it is possible to
claim for this combination an “ ever-read iness ” which cannot be
present when lenses in so-called collapsible mounts are used.
Full particulars with our books, “ The Connoisseur and the Contax,”
“The Ten Contax Lenses,” and “ Accessories for Contax Photo¬
graphy,” will be sent free on request.

WEDNESDAY, October 24TH, 1934.
Next week’s issue of The
Amateiir Photographer and
Cinematographer will be a
special Lantern and Cine Number.
This is the time of year when
amateurs of all types are turning
their attention to various phases of
photography that can be practised
indoors. The production of lantern
slides, their projection and the
projection of cine film are topical
matters that are becoming more
popular every winter, and make a
very strong appeal to thousands of
our readers. For this reason we are
devoting the greater part of our
ne.xt issue to these subjects, with
the firm conviction that it will
supply much useful information
that will be appreciated. The num¬
ber will be increased in size, and we
advise all our readers to secure
copies early. While on the subject
of lantern slides, we would remind
all those who are proposing to enter
" The A.P.” Annual Lantern-Slide
Competition that the closing day is
October 31st. Full particulars and
conditions, etc., will be found on
another page in this issue.
The Screen Plate.
The ingenuity expended over the
colour screen plate was very effec¬
tively demonstrated by Mr. A. J.
Bull in his presidential address from
the chair of the Royal Photographic
Society last week. What a proces¬
sion of screen plates there has been,
right away from Joly in 1895, the
Thames, the Krayn, the Lumiere,
the Warner-Powrie, the Jougla Omni¬
colore, the Aurora, the Paget, the
Agfa, the Finlay, down to the latest,
the Spicer-Dufay. Mr. Bull spoke
with admiration of the ingenuity
displayed, but he concluded with
the remark that on the theoretical
side, as to what colours should be

photographed, and how the colours
should be selected for reproduction
purposes, there was still much work
to be done, many gaps in knowledge
still to be filled in. He showed by
some conclusive experiments how
difierent in nature were light and
\-isual sensation, and since light of
most parts of the spectrum, except
red, stimulates two or three sensa¬
tions simultaneously, colour sensa¬
tion curves have no relation to the
practical problems of colour photo¬
graphy. Great confusion has arisen,
even among eminent authorities, as
between curves representing the
colour sensations in the eye and
curves of the proportions of red,
green and blue necessary to match
the colours of the spectrum. The
screen plate has some way still to go.
Close-up of Assassination.
The wonderful film of the assas¬
sination of the King of Jugoslavia
makes it pertinent to ask again
whether anybody is charged with
the preservation of such historic
records. One can measure the in¬
terest with which it will be regarded,
if preserved, in a hundred years’
time by the interest with which we
should see the authentic film obtained
on the “ Victory ” of the death of
Nelson, or, from Whitehall, of
Charles I on the scaffold. The
assassination film is only a short
length, but the impression of the
tragic event which it gives, both
in picture and sound, is extraordi¬
narily vivid. What iron nerve must
the photographer have possessed, not
merely to disregard his own personal
danger, but to keep a steady hand,
to concentrate on his purpose, and
even to remember his technique,
obtaining a close-up at the proper
moment of the face of the dying
king ! It is callous, but it is superb.

Heading Them Off.
One learned something of the
“ tricks of the trade ” from Mr. G. E.
Bell’s engaging speech at the R.P.S.
annual dinner. Mr. Eell gave an
amusing account of a certain
managing director of a photographic
manufacturing firm upon whom one
day a famous explorer called in a
state of wrath. He produced a
small camera and asked the director
to look at it. Those were the days
when small cameras were made
partly of wood and partly of metal,
and this one had proved unsatis¬
factory in a tropical climate. The
director picked up the camera and
said, “ Well, the metal work is all
right.” ‘‘ Yes,” said the other,
‘‘but look at the wood — it is
warped.” ‘‘ There you place me
in a delicate position,” said the
director, ‘‘ my firm made the metal
work, but God Almighty made the
wood!” Which Mr. Bell capped
with a story from his own experience
of an audience of Scottish dealers.
A new camera was being introduced
by his firm, but the factory was
behindhand in turning it out, and
orders were held up. ‘‘Is it good
business,” said the Scottish heckler,
‘‘ to advertise an article the dealers
have not got to sell ? ” Mr. Bell’s
reply was, ‘‘ Well, sir, as our English
poet Milton says, ‘ The best-laid
schemes of mice and men - ’ ”
He got no farther, for there was a
yell of ‘‘ Bu-r-rns,” and in the
excitement the truant cameras were
entirely forgotten.
Toy Projectors and Inflammable
Film.
The London County Council is
drawing attention again to the
dangers attaching to the use of
inflammable cinematograph film in
the home. The circumstance which
has led to a reawakening of interest
in this matter is an occurrence in
Fulham recently, when the fire
brigade was called to a house and
found a fire in progress in a bed¬
room, where a youth had been using
a toy projector mounted on a box
on the top of a washstand, when the
film ignited and set fire to the con¬
tents of the room. The youth was
severely burned, and escaped by
jumping from the window into the
yard. The reel of film which was
being used was about 1,000 ft. in
length and was completely des¬
troyed. Several other lengths of
film were found in a box underneath
the bed, and 7,000 ft. of film was
found in another room in the same
house. It should be added that
the London County Council (Cel¬
luloid) Act, 1915, regulates the
quantities of cinematograph film
exceeding 80 pounds in weight, if
the film is kept for sale, hire or
profit, but it does not restrict the
amount which may be kept for
private use, and although to sell film
to children under sixteen is prohibi¬
ted, there is no power to prevent
its sale to adults. Hence the need
for publicity as to possible dangers.
The New Stamps.
Welcome to the new stamps by
the photogravure process 1 To use
a word familiar in a photographic
connection, they are more “ plucky ”
than the old. The old ‘‘ three-
ha’pennies” by surface printing look
very an:emic specimens by com¬
parison. The new “pennies” are,
however, too crimson for every¬
body’s taste.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Warm-tone Developers.
I like to try a variety of ivarm-tone papers, particularly of
the chloro-bromide type, and find it inconvenient to attempt to
make up the solutions given in the instructions with the different
papers. Can you suggest a developer, say M .Q., which would be
likely to work well with them all? J. J. E. (Stafford.)
The only objection to the course you propose is this : There
are several developers which will give satisfactory results on
practically every chloro-bromide paper on the market ; but
it by no means follows that the result is the best that any
given paper is capable of producing. ' Many papers have a
definite colour and quality of image that can be secured to
perfection only by the developers and methods given in the
working instructions.
A suitable M.Q. developer for most warm-tone papers is :
Metol . . . . . . . . . . . . 60 grs.
Hydroquinone . . . . . . . . . . 240 grs.
Sodium sulphite . . . . . . . . • • 34 oz.
Sodium carbonate . . . . . . . . • • 34 oz.
Potassium bromide . . . . . . 250 to 700 grs.
Water to * . . . . ... . . . . .. 80 oz.
The weights given for the sulphite and carbonate are for
the crystal form. The amount of restrainer is not definite,
and a great deal depends on how much you decide to use. The
more you put in the slower will development be, and increased
e.xposure and a warmer tone must result.
Although you mention an M.Q. developer we are inclined
to think that a glycin formula may be more satisfactory for
vour purpose. .4 single-solution form is :
Glycin . . . . . . . . . . . . J- oz.
Hydroquinone . . . . . . . . . . 4 oz.
Sodium sulphite . . . . . . . . . . 7 oz.
Sodium carbonate . . . . . . . . . . 6J oz.
Potassium bromide . . . . . . ■■ 75 grs.
Water to . . . . . . . . . . . . 80 oz.
Messrs. Johnson supply a glycin preparation in powder
form which can be made up as a stock s'olution, and further
diluted for use. We have found this to work well with several
well-known brands of paper.
The same firm recommended a two-solution developer
which is prepared as follows :
A. Sodium sulphite . . . . . . . . 2 oz.
Sodium carbonate . . . . . . . . i oz.
Glycin-Johnson’s . . . . . . . . i oz.
Water to. . . . . . . . . . . . 20 oz.
B. Sodium carbonate . . . . . . . . 4 oz.
Potassium bromide . . . . . . . . 10 grs.
Water . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 oz.
For use take A one part, B one part, water two parts.
MTiatever developer you use, the method of working is to
discover the exposure that will give the right strength and
contrast, and then to decide whether the actual colour of the
image is what you require. If it is not warm enough you must
further dilute and restrain the developer, and then again
discover the exposure for the altered conditions. It is useless
to alter exposure and development in a haphazard way in the
hope of securing a satisfactory colour. It must be done
systematically : and we think that glycin de^’eloper will give
you as much latitude as any, especially if there is no objection
to some variation in the resulting colour.

ICTORIAL EFFECTS
In the following article several • '1'^ I *
practical hints and suggestions y #— <
are given for adding to the / £- M ^ a # C-V t
pictorial effect when making
enlargements from hard negatives that have much good detail but little tonal quality.
IN a recent issue of The Amateiiy
Photographer a description was
given of the method adopted for
making a successful enlargement
from a portion of a very harsh
negative, by masking of the subject
to give adequate exposure to a small
portion only.
The method, while not new, is
one that is not practised so fre¬
quently as it should be when dealing
with a similar type of negative.
Unless a negative is technically and
pictorially perfect, and a straight
enlargement only is desired, a certain
amount of shading or masking is a
perfectly legitimate procedure in
printing to make the most of the
subject. In fact, it can be regarded
as far more legitimate than sub¬
sequent treatment of the finished
print by means of pigments or
other “ dope ” for assisting the
tones of the subject.
Shading or masking the enlarge¬
ment during exposure has many
variations apart from the one de¬
scribed in the article referred to.
In that case, it may be remembered,
a small hole in a piece of opaque
card was used to pass light and
“force up” a certain part of the
subject. By keeping this card in
motion during the exposure, the
action of the light was utilised to ex¬
pose fully a small area of the subject
while the remainder was held back.
Mobile Masking.
The reverse of this is equally easy
of attainment ; that is to say, a
small portion of the subject which is
thinner in the negative can be
shielded while the remainder and
denser portion is being fully exposed.
To accomplish this a disc of dark
card is fixed to the end of a long
thin wire or pin (the old-fashioned
hat-pin was ideal for the purpose,
but we doubt whether these are
now obtainable). It will be found
when the image is projected on to the
easel, and the piece of card is held
near to the lens, that a patch of
shadow is cast on to the easel,
while the image of the thin wire is
practically invisible.
During exposure this small patch
of shadow can be moved about or
kept stationary, if necessary, to
shield any particular portion that is
likely to be overprinted. It can
be manipulated in many ways by
bringing it nearer to the bromide
paper to sharpen the edges, or
farther away to diffuse the shadow.
By a slight twist of the wire, the
shadow of the cardboard disc can
be altered until it is edge-on to the
easel and is then practically invisible.
In this way, either a large circular
or a narrow oval-shaped shadow
can be cast at will.
An alternative to the disc of
cardboard is a plug of cotton-wool
at the end of a wire. This can be
pulled about to make any desired
shape for the purpose of the mask,
and has a difiused edge to start with.
The Most Effective Mask.
Perhaps the most efficient mask
when a large patch needs to be
shaded is the hand of the operator.
The shadow cast by it on to the
enlarging easel is entirely under
control, and can be rendered of any
size and in any degree of diffusion.
It can be altered by Hexing the
fingers or turning the hand in any
direction to fit almost any space on
the enlarged image, and a very
mobile outline can be projected that
can be constantly altered to protect
any desired part.
It is essential, however, when
making these adjustments to the
enlargement that the exposure itself
should not be too short, or time will
not permit of adequate masking.
For this reason the lens should be
stopped down to increase the expo¬
sure, or, if the light is very strong, a
sheet of opal glass should be inserted
between the light and the condenser
if a condenser enlarger is used. In¬
cidentally, this will diffuse the lighting
and add to the quality of the image.
While on this subject, the centring
of the light itself can sometimes be
turned to account, when, for instance,
the negative is not of even density
throughout. Many negatives, for
some reason, have a patch of lighter
tone in the centre, the edges being
apparently much denser. This can
be evened up by decentring the
light of the enlarger, so that the
edges are more brilliantly illuminated
than the centre. This expedient,
however, is an operation requiring
.some skill in adjustment.
Diffusion.
To introduce diffusion is also a
legitimate form of print improve¬
ment when making an enlargement.
The effect of bolting silk is of course
well known, and various other
diffusing media can be used for the
same purpose, notably that which
is known as “ tulle.” Pieces of
black tulle stretched over a light
frame made of cardboard should
be kept ready for diffusing negatives
as required. These frames can be
covered with one, two, or three
thicknesses of the material, the
diffusion increasing according to
the number of thicknesses. In this
case the tulle is best used near the lens.
Yet another method of intro¬
ducing diffusion, and one which
gives a peculiar quality, is to inter¬
pose two or three sheets of plain
glass between the lens and the
projected image when making the
exposure. If these pieces of glass
are moved slightly and at an angle
to the axes of the lens while the
exposure is progressing, a slightly
blurred effect is introduced without
increasing the length of exposure or
materially affecting the definite
detail of the image. The effect in
this case is more pleasing than that
obtained b}’ throwing the image
slightly out of focus, although this
has its merits when the image has
much aggressi\'e grain.

PICTURES in the
KITCHEN
By
PAUL I. SMITH.
HE photographic possibilities of
the kitchen have so far been un¬
explored, but pictures are await-
normal angle, and then climb on a
chair or table and have another good
look. A mental comparison of the two
scenes will, 1
think, convince
you that every¬
thing depends
upon the angle,
and, of course, the
lighting.
Daylight is
ideal for this work,
but it is usually
so dull at this
time of the year
that supple-
mentary lighting
in the form of
one or two 100-
watt electric bulbs
may be necessary.
Avoid hard
shadows, unless
you specially de¬
sire to intensify
the interest, but

trast in your
prints and a\-oid

tures, which never

interesting places — at' the sink, the
cooker, and even on the floor.
Before taking your camera into
the culinary department, seek per¬
mission to view the field of action and
find out where the best pictures are
to be found. At first it may appear
that the kitchen is absolutely devoid
of pictorial subjects, but the angle of
view very often determines the appeal,
and it is well to bear this in mind.

and certainly do not tell their stories
as they should be told.
Panchromatic plates are excellent
for the purpose, but a good ortho
plate which embodies a special filter
and has a speed of 450 H. and D. will
be found quite serviceable, and this
was the plate used by the author.
It is not usually practicable to stop
down the lens more than f/8, as most
people find it difficult to keep still in
uncomfortable attitudes for more than
several minutes’ posing, and then a
tense period of exposure, which may
of course vary from five to fifteen
seconds with plates of the speed
mentioned, but with fast pan. plates
or films much shorter exposures are
possible.
An exposure meter is a real boon to
the kitchen photographer, as it is very
difficult t6 gauge accurately the ex¬
posures necessary for such widely
different subjects as washing-up and
scrubbing the floor. In one case the
white porcelain sink and tiled sur¬
round reflect the light and tend to
decrease the exposure, whilst down on
the tiled floor the light is not very
strong, and if any detail is to be
obtained in the , shadows a fairly
lengthy exposure will be required.
As regards development, any good,
well-balanced formula will do, but
metol-hydroquinone is to be preferred,
especially if used in the tank and the
time and temperature method adopted.
A word of advice. Don’t take your
camera into the kitchen during the
rush hours if you want the best
results ; you may easily ruin your
plates . . . and the dinner.

Subjects for
AVER’t common mistake amongst beginners at
the bromoil process is to use for early attempts
subjects which would extend the skill of the most
experienced worker, so that failure is inevitable. Delicate
high-key tones and the deep gradations of heavy shadcnvs
are difficult to render by the process, l)ut the rendering
of half-tones is comparatively simple.
For this reason subjects chosen for hrst attempts at
bromoil should be principally of half-tones, with the
high-lights and shadows of small area not requiring
gradation in themselves.
Contrasty subjects -with brilliant high-light detail and
deep shadows should l)e left until one feels that the
process has been mastered, when it will be realised that
ordinary bromide ])rinting will provide the best print.
The illustration “ Sunlit Corner ” shows a subject
which would be difficult in bromoil, especially as the
trouble involved would hardly be justilied.
The land.scape “ Hay Ricks and Trees ” is obviously
(luite different. There are no high-light gradations to
reproduce and ]i<j shadows within the shadows. A
proi)erly prepared bromoil print of this -subject inks up
easily. Moreover, the subject as it stands, although it
has pictorial possibilities, is by no means satisfactory.
The sky. requires more tone, and the bare foreground
modulation, while the small branches behind the hav-
stacks arc scraggy and irritating. These defects are
easily remedied with tlu' brush in the final part of the
inking up.
It should be noted that it is unnecessary to attempt the
introduction of clouds into the sky. This would require
more skill than the average beginner possesses, and would
in no way improve the picture. The pictorial require¬
ments of the subject can be fulfilled merely by adding
extra tone to the sky so that it darkens gradually

towards the top. Irritating details
may be remo^’ed or obscured with
ease, but more than a little skill in
draughtsmanship is necessary if it
is desired to introduce details absent
from the negative.
It may be useful to point out
for the benefit of beginners in
bromoil that the adding of a level
tint of pigment to a blank space is
only accomplished by a definite
form of brush action. The largest
available brush should be used and
the pigment lightly but evenly dis¬
tributed over its working surface by
repeated dabbing on the palette.
It is then applied to the print with a
firm but gentle pressure only, not
the usual dabbing action. This will
deposit a level patch of tone that
can be repeated all over the required
space and levelled up by the same
method.

As to material, practically any
sort of plate or film will do, but the
faster varieties are the best. The

than it appears to be, and under-
e.xposure must be avoided or a

NOW is the season when mist enshrouds the
land, the rivers and the coast at different
hours of the day, particularly in the
early mornings and late afternoons.
These are the times when the portrayal of mist
effects will be productive of many fine pictures that
would not be possible at an5" other time of year.
Many subjects, which under ordinary lighting
conditions would not be considered worthy of a
plate or film, are transformed and made pictorial
compositions of charm when seen through the mist.
Mist will convert a commonplace
scene into one of mystery and
beauty by hiding a lot of confusing
and unnecessary detail. The masses
are flattened out into level tones
devoid of lines and spottiness, the
distances are softened, and by com¬
parison foreground objects take on
greater strength.
For this reason, when taking
pictures in mist a viewpoint should
be chosen to give a composition
with a strong foreground object.

range of tones which prompted the
attempt. As there is very little
colour in either town or landscape
when viewed through a haze, there
is no need to use a colour filter, as
this tends to cut out the mist ;
precisely what is not required.
It will be observed when photo¬
graphing a landscape subject in
mist that the planes of the picture
recede in a remarkable manner, and
the charm of mystery, which is such
an aid to picture-making, will result
under the mellowing influence of
the atmospheric effect. Under these

The Exhibition Print
SOME HINTS ON FINISH.
By ARNOLD T. BAILEY.
For portfolio and competition work
many photographers prefer to
submit an unmounted print. This
enables a better idea of the relative
exposure and development to be assessed,
the print being viewed by transmitted
light. When, however, the final print
is made for exhibition it is imperative
that it be suitably mounted. It is
surprising how many good prints are
marred by slipshod and thoughtless
mounting, so these few w'ords to the
exhibition aspirant may prove useful.
I find it handy to have three “ colours
of mount — -white, pale cream, and cream.
If the finished trimmed print be placed
on the mounts in turn, the worker should
tie able to " feel ” w'hich is most suitable.
There are no cast-iron rules, but a few
hints may help the inexperienced.
For a sunny snow scene a pale cream
paper is generally best. If a -white
mount is used this gives a yellow tinge
to the snow. It will be found better
to use a cream mount, which kills this
yellowness yet retains the sunniness.
For a sunny landscape a cream paper
on pale cream, or a pale cream paper
on a white mount, will be found effective
in retaining the feeling of sunshine.
For portraiture generally I prefer
paper and mount to tone — white on
white, cream on cream.
F'or general work remember that a
white print on a cream mount gives a
feeling of coldness, whilst a cream print
on a -white mount gives maximum
warmth.
If a narrow black border is desired on
the print, it should be done before mount¬
ing. A quarter-inch ruling pen and
waterproof Indian ink is clean, quick
and handy. I usually rule the border
and trim the print afterwards so that I
can make the black line any desired width.
Many workers find trouble in mount¬
ing. I do not see why this should be,
especially when a good mountant like
“ Grip-fix” or Johnson’s is used. In prac¬
tice, after marking the position of the
print on the mount with two minute
pencil dots, I place the print on a sheet
of paper and work from the centre
outwards i until it is evenly pasted.
A clean sheet of paper is used for each
print. The print is then placed in
position on the mount and pressed
down from centre to edges -with a clean
rag. I then place a sheet of white paper
over the print and leave under a
few heavy books to dry.
A nea-t, pencilled border round the
print looks well, and if the title or
signature of the worker is to be added,
this border should come well down at
the foot of the print. With regard to
titling, it is far better to scribble the
title on the back of the mount than to
print it badly on the front. Unless the
titling is well done it is better left
undone. In any case, in some exhibi¬
tions, titles are not allowed on the face
of the mount.
If the title is to appear let it be small,
neat, unobtrusi\-e (in pencil not ink), let
the style of lettering be correct, and avoid
all fancy touches. It may seem in¬
artistic, but the practice of attaching
a typewritten title to the extreme bottom
left corner of the mount has much to
recommend it.

CAMERA PRICES.
Sir, — While I am not going to pass any lengthy comments
on the prices of cameras, especially miniatures, I just -wish to
say that I use an old quarter-plate reflex for short trips around
about and a 34 X aj film Kodak for extended trips and holidays,
etc., away from home, and I derive every satisfaction — cheaply
— though I prefer plates every time, and I consider nothing
can beat a quarter-plate or 3J X reflex for really good work.
.And a miniature I would never buy, as I think they are but a
passing craze.
But, as for materials, I have been using Criterion plates,
which are a reasonable price ; for papers, I took the hint of
one of your exhibition workers, and turned to Granville, who
supplies bromide papers at a surprisingly low price. By
their use I can do more photography, and at a much less cost,
and Messrs. Illingworth make very fine ‘‘ Commercial ” post¬
cards at 3s. per 100. A 34X2-4 film I consider is reasonable,
eight for is.
I have no interest in any firm except that of a satisfied
user. — Yours, etc., -A. NATION.
D. AND P. WORK.
Sir, — I wonder if the following experience with seaside
D. & P. services will be a warning to your readers to be careful.
I may say that having dabbled in photography for at least
thirty-five years, I know something about it. The last few
years I have used a Leica and had perforce to send my films
to specialists. This year I changed to a Super Ikonta, using
standard 120 films, and w'as tempted to have my films developed
at the seaside where I was staying. The first spool was badly
marked and a new film given me with apologies. The second,
at a different place, was completely ruined through faulty
mixing of chemicals. Again a new film and such charming
apologies that one had to forgive. I then went to the Channel
Islands, where I had a large number, perhaps fifteen spools,
developed. I always had them back in five hours, with nice
bright contact prints. But, and here is the point, when at
home I came to enlarge those negatives, there is hardly one
that is not ruined by marking of some kind, finger prints, etc.
As a result, my holiday album will be chiefly miniature contact
prints which I could have obtained with a los. camera. Now, I
know that the chief trouble is the excessive speed demanded
by the public, but if amateurs themselves were a bit more
particular in what they accept I am sure the service would be
better. On two occasions fellow-visitors asked me what was
wrong with their cameras. In each case I found the negatives
had been ruined by uneven development. When they com¬
plained they were given new films ; but if everyone receiving
faulty work complained, I am afraid many firms would go out
of business. If the public want a five-hour service, and don’t
mind faulty work, let them have it ; but I do suggest to all
firms doing this kind of work that they should have an alter¬
native slower and more carefully carried out service for those
amateurs who take photography seriously. I am sure a large
number would willingly pay a few pence more rather than have
their winter enlarging work ruined.
Apologising for the length of this letter. — A’ours, etc.,
” S-S.”
Sir, — I have been a regular reader of your valuable paper
for some considerable time, and I have followed with interest
your page devoted to readers’ letters to the Editor.
I feel I must make some defence in reply to L. M. Reeves'
remarks about D. and P. methods. I have worked for a
certain photographic chemist for the past six or se-i en years
and during this time I have dealt with practically every possible
photographic detail.
It is a strict rule of my employer, who is an A.R.P.S., that
all work must be of the finest quality available, even if two or
even three enlargements have to be made before a perfect
specimen is obtained.
Our work is charged at the price set by Kodak Ltd., and no
matter how long we spend over a job the price remains exactly
the same.
I have absolutely no connection with this business except as a
paid employee, but during the whole time I have been employed
here our principle has been that only the best results are
good enough for our customers. — Yours, etc., W. R. BICK.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR {contd.).
DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — ] am interested in correspondence re de-reloping tanks.
Some years ago I purchased a second-hand Kodak roll-film
tank and in it I have developed hundreds of klms. Only
recently had I any failures. The developer had failed to
affe&t certain parts of the film.
I wrote the makers, enclosing results. They, very courteous¬
ly, replied suggesting that my failure had l)een due to not
winding the apron tightly enough. If this did not remedy the
trouble they would e.xamine the tank for me. 1 took their
advice, wound the apron tighter, and since then 1 have not
had a single failure.
I have nothing but praise for this type of tank, which has
proved a great help to me. Trusting my experience may be
of assistance to readers, and wishing you and your excellent
journal success in its good work. — Yours, etc.,
LEONARD R. JENNINGS.
Sir, — If Mr. Longfield will try first filling the tank with the
developer and then slowly lowering the spool with the film
rolled on into the tank, I think he will find that no air-bells
will be formed.
I have developed many roll films in a circular tank with
apron by this method, and I have never once been troubled
with air-bells.
When I first began to use a tank I found that some of the
films were badly marked on the edges by the serrated apron,
but T overcame this defect by unwinding the apron slightly
after winding and setting. — Yours, etc.,
J. PARSONS (Barcelona).
Sir, — I have read with interest Mr. J. A. Stirling’s letter
regarding developing tanks. 1 do not know what kind of
tank Mr. Stirling uses, but if it is a Correx tank, 1 may say
that 1 had the same trouble when first using this tank. 1 at
once complained to the sellers (who, by the way, use the
Corre.x tank themselves), and I have been told that in order to
avoid such trouble the film must be wound round the apron
with the emulsion facing upwards, and after winding the film
completely, and adapting the clip which is found at the end of
the apron, the whole thing must be pushed back a bit by
pressing gently with the finger away from the clip. This
helps the film to get loose a bit, and dislocates it from the
apron. Since adhering to this method, I may say that I have
never had trouble, and have been very pleased with this tank.
Up till now I have developed over twenty-five Contax films,
and never had the slightest trouble.
Wishing " The A.P.” all the best. — Yours, etc.,
_ ALBERT CARACO.
Sir, — I was very interested in Mr. L. Longfield’s letter re¬
garding roll-film dev eloping tanks and most heartily endorse
his views. I have been considering the same question for some
time, but I have not yet purchased a tank — partly for fear of
the disadvantages enumerated, and partly on account of the
unreasonable price of the present items on the market. A
glance round any sixpenny bazaar will reveal numerous bakelite
moulded articles which are far more complicated than any
developing tank, and I object on principle to paying much
in excess of ;^i for an article which cannot have cost more than
a few pence to manufacture. In defence of the price it is
argued that developing tanks are required only in small
quantities, but I have myself seen sufficient tanks to make
production possible at a quarter the price.
Turning to the question of the efficiency of various tanks, I
would like to suggest the following arrangements which would
have the advantages of simplicity and durability : —
(a) A drum of bakelite or any other suitable material of
sufficient diameter so that a film can be wound once round the
circumference. For a 2^X3^ film the drum would be only
approximately 10 in. in diameter. The drum could have
-J-in. flanges to act as a guard and a guide for the film, and a
pair of simple clips would suffice to keep the film in position.
(b) A containing vessel with light-tight lid so that the inter¬
nal diameter is, say, greater than the drum. This close
fit, together with the displacement of the drum, will ensure
economy in developer.
Ih[ amateur PHOTOORAPHER
p 6 ClhEMATOGRAPHEB o
A further accessory, which could be sold separately from the
tank, would also be useful. A wooden or metal stand could
be arranged with an axle to fit the drum, so that the latter
could be rotated in a vertical plane over a dish when close
inspection of development is required. — Yours, etc.,
_ J. ATKINSON.
STRAIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY.
Sir, — How refreshing to see that Mr. Chas. E. Rollinson,
in describing how he makes his exhibition pictures in your
issue of August i.Mh, prints " straight,” and endeavours to
depict the truth.
That the reverse is fashionable is too obvious in many
photographs. Yet the word from its derivation would appear
to mean the representation of light and shadow. Surely, then,
the photographer’s ideal should l.ie to portray light and shadow
in as nearly accurate tones as is possible. This is done by
careful selection regarding the subj.ict of film, exposure,
developer, and again materials used for the final print. I
do not think photography should include all manner of touch¬
ing up and — literally — faking to produce a desired effect.
The arts of painting, drawing, and even advertisement design
are entirely separate, each requiring a different form of talent.
If one admits the employment in photograpliy of brush,
palette, pencil, and other devices, except for curing technical
blemishes, it is no longer true representation of light and
shadow, and, as Mr. Rollinson says, perpetrates a falsehood. —
Yours, etc., _ ” TODOJO ” (India).
LAY PRESS CRITICS.
Sir, — Your amusing comments in '' Topics of the Week ”
concerning the newspaper reporter acclaiming a commercial
enlargement as the picture of the year at the Royal Photo¬
graphic Society’s E.xhibition, throws a great deal of useful
light on the trustworthiness of the photographic criticisms to
be found in some sections of the Press. A journalist in one of
our more distinguished daily papers does indeed notice the
Natural History Section of this Exhibition, but the Pictorial
Section is practically beneath his contempt. To his befuddled
intellect any control process in photography is merely some
attempt to disguise it as an etching or engraving. Paradoxically
enough, the I ress photographers of the same paper parade
before the public as a self-.styled art department. A further
paper, which has the modesty to pounce on us not more than
once a week (and that on the Sabbath !) in spite of its concern
with artistic matters, publishes ” photographs ” usually
attended with some glamorous title, large in size, toneless in
quality, and as for artistic appeal, this quality is so lacking
as to make them positiv ely repulsive. It is indeed fortunate
that photographic journals like 'I'lic Amateur Photographer
exist, for without them one trembles to think what the public
opinion would be when fed only with such balderdash.
It must be expected that the exhibitions will matriculate
into full public favour when they, in common with those of
painter artists, will be in the happy position of being able to
hang pictures upside down land not know it !) for the admiring
gaze of high " aht ” circles. A phase we might appropriately
term last-post impressionism. — Yours, etc.,
E. GORDON BARBER.
TELEPHOTO APPARATUS.
Sir, — Long-range telephoto lenses, at long-range prices,
designed expressly for use with Continental miniature cameras,
are on the market. '' Miniature ” means “ small photo¬
graphs ” ; the prices are enlarged ones.
I have a 3-in. British telescope ; it cost new £6 los. ; I com¬
bined this with a -}-plate camera with focussing screen, 17s. 6d.,
and an astronomical tripod, 7s. 6d., both second-hand British
items. A finder and secondary focussing screen permit the
use of box and folding film cameras. Hypersensitive plates
and films, in conjunction with Ilford ” Astra,” ‘‘ Micro Five,”
and other filters are used. The combination must not be
pointed directly at the sun.
Although corrected for visual astronomical work, the object-
glass is perfectly adapted to terrestrial day or night photo¬
graphy. The total f/ value being about 14 no iris is necessary,
and that on the camera must be left at full aperture.
Thus a little ingenuity can make £10 do the work of £i50.
A general study of advertisements will confirm the latter
item.— Yours, etc., A. TROWBRIDGE.

One of the best-known flower and fruit photographers,

I3ut there are pink geraniums, and white ones. Or, in
general, if we do not use panchromatic material we must
avoid deep red colours. The distinguished photographer
1HOPE you have some recollection of the illustration
to the beginners’ note in last week’s issue. It showed
a china dish containing three of those curious bulbs
which, without earth or water, send up spikes of flowers.
In this case the flowers were pale mauv'e. The point in
reproducing it was to encourage a reader — more than one,
I hope. This photograph was taken on a medium-speed
orthochromatic plate, without a filter ; and after carefully
examining the original I came to the conclusion that I
could not have got a better result whatever material I
might have employed.
The particular reader I wish to encourage is one who
wishes to photograph straightforward flower subjects at
home, but who hesitates to attempt to do so because he
has never used panchromatic material. There is nothing
fearsome about panchromatic material, and later on he

to whom I just referred made quite a sensation with a
rendering of a bunch of currants ; but he took care they
were white ones.
Fig. 3 shows what may easily happen with a yellow
flower, even when using an orthochromatic plate which is
sensitive to yellow. It is evident that the chrysanthemum
is much too dark. The lighter tones, such as they are,
result mainly from the reflection of “ white ” light from
the shiny surface of the petals. The comparative tones
of the yellow and white flowers as viewed by the eye are
by no means satisfactory in the print.
The explanation is that although an orthochromatic
plate is sensitive to yellow, those rays must be given suffi¬
cient time to act. A longer exposure would have made
all the difference ; but this would have been too much for
the quick-acting rays from the white flower. If onlv we
could find some means of holding these back a bit while we
gave the yellow rays a chance we could do better.
Fortunately we have the means of dcjing this. W'e can
use a yellow filter. This will let the yellow rays pass, but
will keep out some of the too-active blue and violet rays
from the white flower and elsewhere. This is what was
done for Fig. 4, and the chrysanthemum and the yellow
centre of the anemone are all the better for it, while the
white flower comes out as before. The general conclusion
then is to use orthochromatic plates, or any non-panchro-
matic films, and a yellow filter — a light one for most yellows,
and a deeper one for orange. With the latter, let it be
whispered, we can also give a good account of many reds.

Some Hints on Print Trimming
By “AUBURN.”
Before going into the hands of
admiring friends or reaching the
pages of the album, the last
process through which the print must
go is trimming. Trimming is none the
less important for being the last process,
and can make a vital difference to the
appeal exercised by the print. There
is an indefinable neatness about a well-
trimmed print that somehow lifts it above
the level of the D. & P. merchant’s wide
and inartistic border.
What does the amateur trimmer need
in the way of " kit ” before he can start
work ?
First, a cutting tool. Now this is
an occasion when old razor blades can
really be used up with advantage, for
a keen cutting edge is essential to obtain
a " clean " cut. I prefer to use a single-
edged blade, such as the " Valet,” where
the non-cutting edge is engaged with
the razor, and there is " something to
hold.” With the blade held in this
guard between thumb and forefinger,
there is little distinction of position
between writing with an upright pencil.
Next, a baseboard. The requisites
here are a surface which does not impair
the cutting edge of the tool by “ clinging”
to it or become cut about itself ; and
yet a surface which allows an easy
passage to the cutting edge, thus giving
a ” clean ” cut. A sheet of glass satisfies
these conditions admirably, and has
the added advantage that a coloured
background can be introduced, which
by contrast will throw up into prominence
the print being cut.
Lastly, a guide is needed to ensure
a straight hfige finally appearing on the
trimmed print, and a wooden ruler is
useless in this respect. With a sharp
razor cutting edge this would suffer as
quickly as the print, and therefore a
draughtsman’s metal ruler is essential.
Having dealt with the implements,
perhaps iir conclusion ' a word or two
on the actual cutting may be helpful.
The holding of the razor has already
been mentioned, and apart from indi¬
cating a position where the unused
part of the cutting edge is lifted well off
the paper, imparting a slope to the
blade, little more remains to be said.
After some practice it will probably be
found that a “ one-two ” action in
the actual cutting will give the best
results. Press hard with the ruler as
the blade finishes the stroke to avoid
the possibility of tearing the corner of
the print.
Do not slope the blade to give a
bevelled-edge look to the cut ; rather
slope the other way, so that the cutting
actually takes place under the guiding
edge of the ruler. This gives the finest
clean-cut edge. In any case, it will be
found that two or three light cuts with
the blade will ensure a more perfect
edge than one heavy cut. There is also
less risk of the metal ruler slipping.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
NEVER set out with tlie definite idea that ‘ now
the . . . exhibition is coming on I must get
something to send in.’ In my experience, the
results of work prompted by such a motive are dis¬
appointing. If, on the other hand, I take a photograph
because I want to do so, and feel in the mood, I am
far more likel3" to get a result worth exhibiting.
“ I am more interested in portraiture than in any
other branch of 'photograph^'. When I am making a
Mother and Child.
Pamela Booth
portrait, my aim is simplicit\x Above all, I avoid
anything that savours of being ‘ stunt}'.’ Large heads,
severely trimmed, and strong lighting effects in the
German style appeal to me ; but anything forced or
unnatural about the pose or viewpoint, or a discordant
or fussy background, I avoid.
When I give a sitting I work with the definite object
of conveying something of the character and personality
of the sitter. That is why my favourite subjects are
men, preferably men of distinction whose faces
for the most part are a fair indication of the
depth of their feelings and their experience of
life. Also I can seldom resist taking character
studies of types from all walks of life.
“ Women who make excessive use of cosmetics
always set me a problem ; and really I rather
avoid taking theni, because extensive retouching
is necessary to please them. This means that
! most of the skin texture is destroyed and the
modelling flattened, with the result that the
portrait does not live. Needless to say, I do
the minimum of retouching on an}' portrait I
make.
“ As to my methods, I use daylight whenever
possible, if necessary combining it with half- watt
light. When I am forced to use artificial light
I use as little as I can, in order to avoid over¬
lighting and the consequent flattening of the
modelling it produces.
“ I use orthochromatic materials, and develop
by inspection for the sake of the control I can
then exercise ; but when it comes to printing
I choose according to the subject. Sometimes
I can visualise my finished picture in a given
process long before I make the negative ; but
usually I decide the printing process on seeing
the negative. I use such processes as bromoil,
bromoil transfer, gum -bichromate, etc., not
because I am ashamed of my photographs look¬
ing like photographs, but because I want them
to look like pictures. But in making photo¬
graphs pictorial in this way I avoid working-up
as much as possible. A heavily-worked-up
bromoil transfer, say, gives the carping critic a
chance to say that it is no longer a photographic
process.”

oome K^ntical Comments the opposite page.
There can be but little doubt
that No. I of the prints repro¬
duced on the opposite page
— “A Raging Sea,” by Ian Malcolm-
son — does convey some idea of the
theme suggested by the title, but,
while the foam of the breaking wave
is well recorded, the impression remains
that it had either not attained or had
just passed that instant of time when
it was at its greatest magnitude.
The Psychological Moment.
Judging from the fact that the
direction of movement would be from
right to left, and that the end of the
breaker appears on the extreme left,
it would seem that the probability is
that the psychological moment had
passed, and that, had the exposure
been made a fraction earlier, a much
bigger splash would have been shown
just about where the dark of the
distant rock is now placed.
In that event, the force of the effect
would be much more concentrated,
and it would tell a. great deal better
than it now does. At present, its
power is spread over so wide an area
that the impression is dissipated.
It loses by dispersal ; but, were it
localised, as it would have been if
the right moment had been seized,
and the greatest splash placed as
described, it would only need a certain
_ amount of trimming from both sides
and the base to make a most effective
picture.
However, it must be admitted that
the difficulties of choosing the right
moment are considerable, and they
are generally heightened by the need
to take precautions to maintain a
foothold against the stress of wind and
weather. So that, keeping this in
mind, the result may be viewed as
creditable, and, with experience, as
indicative of better things to come.
Concentration of Interest.
A greater concentration is displayed
in No. 2, “ South Coast,” by George
Hilleard, where the interest centres
in the sunlit portion of the cliff.
The effect is very pleasing, and, as
far as it goes, well seen and caught, but,
on the other hand, the lack of any¬
thing to serve as a stable base is very
severely felt. What is needed is
the inclusion of some pronounced
horizontal lines tow^ards the lower
margin, together with a much greater
weight of tone, such as would, in the
usual run of things, be furnished by
the presence of the base of the cliffs
and a modicum of shore.
Apparently, the viewpoint was so
near that their inclusion was impos¬
sible. The remedy is obvious, nor
need it be assumed that a more distant
point of view, with a consequent
reduction in the proportion shown
in sunshine, would diminish the value
of the effect, for it would gain rather
than lose.
The increase in stability, too, would
introduce a better sense of order into
the composition and give it form and
shape. It is very seldom indeed that
a reab sense of the quality can be
incorporated where the base of a
feature or (object is omitted, except,
perhaps, in those cases where the lack
of foundation is obscured by depth of
tone, or where something is provided
to take the place of the immediate
foreground.
Strength and Stability.
An example of the former kind of
exception is to be seen in No. 6, ” The
Prow,” by C. S. Reid, where, although
the water line of the vessels is not
shown, the tone at the base is so heavy
that the omission is not noticeable,
and no feeling of insecurity arises.
The selection of the material, in
this instance, shows promise, and,
in a wa}?, is reminiiscent of a similar
subject, ‘‘ The Bow,” which was
reproduced on one of our cenl^re pages
and reviewed in our issue for the loth
of this month. Reference might be
made thereto with the idea of seeing
how this sort of subject should be
treated and how the restriction of the
subject material provides a simpler and
better composition. The difference that
a due measure of tone in the sky
confers should also be noted, for, in
this respect, this week’s example is
regrettably lacking.
Something might be done to improve
matters by the substitution of a softer
grade of paper for that first employed,
for this should enable a deeper tone
to be shown in the sky without over¬
printing the darks, or, alternatively,
a shorter time of development of the
negative, by the consequent reduction
in its contrasts, would have permitted
381
the original paper to render both
extremes of tone satisfactorily.
Subject Character.
However, a contributing factor is
the character of the subject. The
darks near at hand have to be recorded
at the same time as the very much
lighter sky. The difference between
the two is extreme, or, in other words,
the subject contrast is greater than
normal.
It is this extended range in the
subject that renders an adjustment
in the normal procedure necessary,
and it must either be effected during
development of the negative by cur¬
tailing the time, or, where that may
not be feasible, as is the case when
a length of roll film is under treatment,
during printing, when a paper of
longer range (a softer grade) should
be employed.
The contrasts of a subject like No.
5, ” The Speed Boat,” by L. F. Thomas,
are by no means so great, and the
normal time of development for the
negative, followed by subsequent
printing on the appropriate grade of
paper, should pro\'ide a perfectly
satisfactory print. If it should hap¬
pen that a similar subject to No. 6
was on the same roll of film, its con¬
trasts would be much too great for
the same paper, and, in order that
a harmonious print might be secured,
recourse would have to be made to a
grade of softer characteristics.
Suitable Adjustment.
There are cases, of course, wEere
the adoption of this expedient is
impracticable, but, in the average
run of amateur work, they are seldom
met with. If it should happen that a
flat subject like a light-coloured build¬
ing taken on a rainy day, and one of
extreme range such as an interior with
parts in sunlight occurred on the same
roll, the only thing to do would be to
divide the film, giving the flat subject
three or four times the normal, and the
one of extreme range half or a third
of the usual time.
Such a contingency, however, is
rare, and neither of the two remaining
subjects — No. 3, "Homeward Bound,”
by R. S. Hardy, and No. 4, " Land’s
End,” by K. S. Marsh — goes beyond
the normal range, nor do they call for
special treatment. " Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
(C
CURVES,” by F. R. Dapprich.
This picture is interesting inas¬
much as it provides an example
of the possibilities that may
be exploited by the discerning in
finding a subject with next to no
material, and in what would ordinarily
be the most unpromising surroundings.
There are only the two arches, the
roadway, and a stream of
motor cars, together with a
gleam of light.
The Vital Element.
It is true that there might
be some attraction lying in
the curves of the archways,
their relation to each other,
and the repetition of their
shapes ; but it is one of form,
and interesting only to a
greater or less degree as an
essay in design or the forma¬
tion of a pattern.
That, however, is a phase,
which, if of a not inconsider¬
able value, is nevertheless
part of the construction ; but
the vital element, on which
the pictorial appeal relies, is
the gleam of light on the
fa9ade of the second arch
(i). It is this feature which
makes the picture. It trans¬
forms the lesser attraction of
form into something which
stimulates the idea of beauty.
It provides the essential vi¬
tality that inspires the emo¬
tions, and confers a living
quality upon a basis which
is characterised by excellent
form but of little sesthetic
attraction otherwise.
Notwithstanding its subsidiary func¬
tion in the scheme, the form has a
role of considerable importance in
that its design, the pattern it makes,
and the way it is disposed, provide
an orderly foundation w'hich enables,
the effect to be intelligibly conveyed.
It provides the framework on which
the gleam of light is displayed, and by
encirclement or enclosure, by the
contrast of curves against straight
lines, by force of repetition, and the
relationship which the lines bear to
one another, stresses the importance of
that splash of light as the pictorial
” motive.
Design and Enclosure.
The light itself, as the brightest note
of the picture, has an innate attraction.
That, again, is heightened by the
proximity of darks of appreciable
depth of tone, and, further, by force
of position. These factors combine to
make it the centre of interest or the
foundation of the composition, and
the incorporation of the design con¬
siderably magnifies its significance in
yet another way.
In the first place, all of the curves
spring from a more or less common
source in the point (2). This point,
therefore, in conjunction with the
farther light (3) provides an accent in
opposition to the principal point (i),
which it balances. In the second
place, it will be observed that from
or near the point (2) all the four
curved lines have their origin, and
three of them are joined together by
the line of shadow across the base of
382
the print. The nearest of these
curves suggests an enclosure, although
it is not actually complete ; but the
second, for all practical purposes,
joins up with the foreground at the
extreme left of the picture, and really
does enclose the beam of light (i).
The third of the curves leads up to
and forms one of the bound¬
aries of the area in light, and
the adjacent band of dark,
which follows the same form¬
ation, heightens its importance
by power of contrast. There
remains the fourth and last of
these curved lines, the princi¬
pal function of which is allied
with that of the band of dark
of which it forms the edge.
The feeling of enclosure so
created stresses, to a yet
further degree, the dominance
of the point (1), and this is
emphasised, in the third place,
by the sense of repetition
afforded by the occurrence
of the four curved lines in
succession. It is this repe¬
tition, and the relationship
which the lines bear to each
other, that imparts a sug¬
gestion of design or pattern
to the arrangement. From
this arises a sense of order
that not only aids in pulling
the composition together, but
also enhances its significance
by the introduction of an
impression of a decorative
character.
Light in Darkness.
The suggestion might possi¬
bly be advanced that a certain sense of
competition, and consequent division
of interest, arises from the light seen
through the far archway ; but, on
reflection, such a contention could
scarcely be sustained, for, quite apart
from the fact that the light at (i) is
appreciably the stronger, it also has
a greater magnitude ; is nearer ; and
the line suggested by the traffic is
from right to left.
In any event, there is no suggestion
of disunity, and, altogether, the picture
provides an excellent example of the
modern tendency to combine pattern
with effect. " Mentor.”

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINfi APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Use
a Scenario
By
ALBERT W. MEAD.
The first step of the amateur
cinematographer emerging from
the movie-snapshot stage should
be a resolve to work from scenarios.
It is not too much to say that, without
a scenario, efficient production of an
amateur motion picture is impossible.
The big-game photographer filming
wild animals in their native haunts can
hardly be expected to adhere to a
written scenario. If he tried to do
so, he would have more trouble with
obstinate “ stars ” than any grey
haired Hollywood director ever ex¬
perienced. The best he can do is to
film whatever fate puts before him
in the way of cinematic “ copy.” His
only scenario he carries in his head.
Later, from the miles of film that
constitute his bag, a few thousand
feet are coaxed into some sort of
sequence. It is possible to produce,
in this way, a picture that is success¬
ful from the viewpoint of ultimate
exhibition.
The cost in cash, if not in time,
puts this sort of production beyond the
reach of most amateurs, and therefore
outside the realm of efficient produc¬
tion. The big-game photographer
would be most astonished, however,
to realise that many amateurs with
opportunity for careful preparation
before exposing a single foot of film,
attempt to work under a similar
handicap entirely self-imposed.
The second step of the amateur
emerging from the chrysalis should
be to decide what form of scenario
will satisfy his own particular needs.
It is true that the simplest form is
better than none, and the club scen¬
arist will naturally prepare a more
comprehensive scenario than the lone
worker who is also director and
camera-man.
A scenario for a general interest or
travel film — the most usual productions
of the lone worker — might be a simple
list of scenes and titles, written in
screen sequence, and then re-arranged
in the order in which they will be
filmed.
A loose-leaf notebook is ideal for
this purpose. Each scene should be
confined to a separate page, clearly
numbered with a blue or red lead
pencil. Re-arrangement is then a
simple and convenient process.
The lead pencil can also be used
to cancel each page when its scene
has been filmed. If a tick is used to
denote this, there will never be any
doubt about what remains to be
filmed. Later, when the ” rushes ”
have been viewed, those scenes which
are satisfactory can be finally O.K.’d
with a pencil of different colour.
The simplicity of a scenario of this
sort makes it none the less valuable.
By studying each scene on the list
before setting out with the camera, the
amateur is able to visualise the screen¬
ing of each shot as it could be secured
from every conceivable angle and
distance. On location later, he will
have the great advantage of knowing
exactly what he wants, and con¬
sequently a good chance of securing
it.
The amateur who has never used a
scenario should make up his mind to
prepare one, however simple, before
exposing any more valuable film. Its
use will lead to' more satisfactory
pictures, economy of time and money,
and the discovery that scenario writing
has a fascination of its own. Not for
long will he be content with the
simplest form of scenario. That is as
it should be. The simple scenario is
the first step, but it is a step that
many amateurs have yet to take if
they wish to get the best out of the
most fascinating of hobbies.
It must be admitted that the pre¬
paration of even a simple scenario
needs careful consideration. It may be
compared with constructing the skele¬
ton plot for a story, and no one who
cannot do this would be likely to write
a good scenario. Similarly, a good,
smooth-running film cannot be made
without a suitable foundation, and a
definite purpose. Careful planning
beforehand is nearly half the battle ;
it makes for success.
Public School Football. Many fine action subjects are now available on the various
football grounds attached to public schools in different parts of the country. They
are easy of access, and offer even better opportunities than the professional game.

Amateur Cine Activities M. A. LOVELL -BURGESS .
The many aspects of cinema are being faithfully dealt
with in amateur cine clubs and studios this winter.
We are beginning to realise that cinematography
makes contact with almost every phase of life. There is
something unusually fascinating about a hobby that starts off,
as it were, with a camera, and instead of following a well-worn
track, as is the way with most hobbies, continually opens np
before us une.xplored country. " The Londoner’s Sunday ”
is the provisional title of a documentary film to be made by the
cine, section of the City Literary Institute Film Society.
Members are now at work on the scenario. 'Interested " A.P.”
readers should write to the Production Secretary, Mr. G.
Thomas, 53, Richmond Road, E.ii.
A Liverpool " A.P.” reader writes to suggest that secretaries
should arrange lectures by artists, writers, architects, musicians,
etc., on their a.spect of art in relation to the cinema. As it
happens, I am giving a talk in Eastbourne early in January on
'■ The Writer and the Cinema ” to be followed by discussion.
Members of the Wimbledon Cine Club, whose films are
presented under the name of ” Grosvenor Prodnctions,” 'and
whose President is Mr. Adrian Brunei, held their annual
competition for the '' Brunei Cup ” at their Studio in Worple
Road on October 6th, and individual efforts by various mem¬
bers were shown. This club — whose vice-presidents include
Lady Fitch and Lady Roney, J.P. — has a publicity manager,
Mr. H. C. Eealby, as well as a secretary,
Amateur cine competitions are always popular. Over
300 films made by amateurs in all parts of the world were
received by the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers in
London in connection with the international championship
competition. The result will be made known in November.
Members of the Eastbourne Amateur Cine Enthnsiasts’
Club met at the Oak Cabin Restaurant recently to hear a talk
on ‘‘ The Principles of Sound on Film,” given by Mr. J. Toft
Bate, a keen fellow-member.
The Scope of Films,
Can a film be made to express opinion ? We use the word
” interpretation ” in connection with all art, but it is par¬
ticularly true when applied to cinematography. The cine
camera^ left alone as it were, records objects indiscriminately.
The mind behind the cine camera has first to select, and then
to isolate, objects and scenes in order to produce a given aspect
or to express a certain purpose. It is, incidentally, a fact, alike
in science, theology and philosophy, that if you sufficiently
isolate any one aspect, however true that aspect may be, there
will be distortion. A parallel to that may be found in litera¬
ture. A sentence, however correctly quoted, may be robbed
of its true, inner meaning by isolation from its context. In
the pictorial medium opinion must become objective. In other
words, it is only by the grouping, placing and recording of
objects that the producer can, and does, express ideas, purposes
and personal opinions.
I have before me, as I write, three letters from cine amateurs
demanding religious sub-standard films. Mr. H. Bucktrout,
superintendent of the Halton Methodist Sunday School, writes,
” My experience has been that in 9.3-mm. libraries the
only religious films listed were ' Christus,’ and ' Joseph
■and his Brethren,’ and the former I did not care for very
much.”
Mr. H. W. Lee, ii. Mill Hill Lane, Highfields, Leicester,
hopes to start a group in Leicester next year for the making
of religious films. In preparation, he wants to organise pro¬
jection shows in a few parishes this winter. He asks, " Can
you give me an opinion of the Pathe film ' Christus ’ ?
Mr. Ernest R. Scott, 44, Falmouth Street, Cottingham Road,
Hull, writes to tell me he has bought a Pathe 200-B model
projector, and thinks he^ could do some good in providing
entertainments in connection with churches in his circuit,
if he could get some suitable films.
Here are Ideas.
Why is it that no amateur cine group has ever made a
religious film ? I think the reason is due to a vagueness as to
what constitutes a religious film. In my opinion, a religious
film should be interdenominational and it should not attempt
to portray the Christ. It should take for granted the one
essential on which all Christians agree — namely, the truth of
the Christian faith. It should not deal with points of doctrine.
We have a good example of a religious film in '' Mastership,”
with Lax of Poplar in the role of preacher. But that is, natur¬
ally, a treatment more suitable for a talking film. For a
series of silent films I would recommend dramatising the
parables ; or modernising them. The Pharisee and the Publican
could be presented in terms of a prosperous business-man,
a down-and-out, and a cathedral ; and the Good Samaritan
parable could include a car victim on an arterial road. If
people get a shock from this treatment so much the better.
The parables were originally modern. A film worth making
would be one showing the architectural development of
Christian churches, and the relation of each development to its
corresponding phase of civilisation, including shots of churches
built both without and within to modern designs. Such
churches as St. Nicholas, Burnage, Manchester, St. Wilfrid’s
at Brighton, and St. Saviour’s at Eltham, are typical of many
now being built in new housing areas. Amateur cine workers
who indulge in Continental holidays can find examples of
ecclesiastical modernism in Berlin’s newest church, or in Rome
or St. Wenceslas at Prague. And it would be but a step to
a cine camera construction of the cathedral of the future,
swept clean of mediaeval images and shrines, with one side
chapel set apart for films, another for televised broadcast
services, and yet another for broadcast music to aid silent prayer.
And there would be a landing-stage for the bishop’s aeroplane.
Do you think all this is too imaginative ? Anyway, it is an
alternative to " Christus.”
A Note from the Brondesbury Cine Society
First of all we should like to apologise to the many
amateurs we had to disappoint for our show. Although
we only intended to have one evening, we had to extend
it to two nights ; we hope that later on we shall be able to
give a repeat performance.
The films shown were '' Nightmare ” and '' Contact,” lent
by Rhos-on-Sea A.F.P., two thrilling productions which were
much appreciated ; " Eynesford,” by G. W. Eves, a Club
member, was admired for the beauty of the scenes and photo¬
graphy. Considering he has had only twelve months’ experi¬
ence, it is a masterpiece. The fourth item, entitled ” 'Week
End,” by L. Elliott, was shown, and it is remarkable for editing
and very good cross-cutting. Then came ” B,” which we asked
visitors to criticise. The general feeling was that it was a good
film, and that the criticism it has received in certain quarters
did not do justice to it.
The studio, projection theatre and club-room were officially
opened on Friday night ; many well-known amateur cinema¬
tographers were present and all highly praised our efforts.
Music was provided by loud-speaker, fixed behind the screen,
and two turntables with a two-stage Pelmica amplifier. The
studio, was very much admired, especially the lighting, which
consists now of 35 kw. The ” set ” was much discussed ;
it is a room in an old cottage, for our present production,
“ Two Candles,” a 700-ft. film made entirely in the studio,
and not one single shot taken out of doors.
The club-room on the first floor is nicely furnished and avail¬
able for members at any time. It may be used for titling,
editing, etc., and there is also a ping-pong table pro\ ided. The
membership list is still open, but only real enthusiasts will
be considered. That is why an entrance fee of two guineas is
charged ; the subscription is two guineas per annum.
We have decided to start a i6-mm. group, and work will
begin shortly. We have equipped ourselves with an Ensign
new Kinecam, with a 1.5 Hugo Meyer lens, and a Siemens
"Standard” projector.

THE SUPER NETTEL MINIATURE CAMERA
WE have recently had an oppor¬
tunity of using and testing the
latest introduction of the Zeiss
Ikon firm — the Super Nettel miniature
camera. Already this firm has been
responsible for the well-known Contax
camera, but as they point out, a
camera costing from £2-] upwards must
appeal, obviously, to well-to-do people,
and they have felt that there is room
for yet another miniature camera taking
Con/tax spools, of a somewhat more
simple but nevertheless efficient con¬
struction, and possessing the high-class
design associated with the Zeiss Ikon
trade mark. This is the reason for
the introduction of the Super Nettel.
We may say at once that this camera
is a remarkable achievement in construc¬
tion and efficiency. It opens easily with
pressure on a small projection ; the
front springs into position for immediate
use, and it is entirely rigid, due to the
special type of extension struts.
The first thing that strikes the user
is the finder equipment, which is har¬
nessed with a distance meter, and is an
integral part of the instrument. A
touch with the finger-tip automatically
focusses the object by means of the
range-finder which is as ingenious as
it is accurate. Absolute accuracy of
focus can be depended on by viewing
through this finder, which is a joy to use.
Next, the all-metal focal-plane shutter
is also a pleasure to set and release.
The speeds can be altered from i /5th
to i/i,oooth
sec. at any
timebeforeor
after setting,
and there
seems no
doubt that
the speeds are
real 1 y ac¬
curate as
marked.
A large winding head for the shutter,
which automatically winds on the film
for the next exposure, is admirably
placed and very smooth in action.
The back of the camera is readily and
easily detachable, and when removed for
reloading enables the " works ” to be
seen and if necessary cleaned. The
loading with Contax spools is extremely
simple, 36 exposures of if x 15 ; i6ths iu.
(24x36 mm.) on perforated cine film
are available with one loading, which
renders the camera an ideal instrument
for the traveller.
The lens is in a sunk mount and is
protected by the baseboard when the
camera is closed. Zeiss Tessars of f/3.5
and f/2.8 are fitted as standard.
In use we have found it a delightful
little camera for all kinds of subjects.
The remarkable range of exposures
given by the shutter makes it particular¬
ly valuable, and the high quality of the
lenses fitted enable negatives to be secured
that are capable of great enlargement.
The Super Nettel costs £2\ 12s. 6d.
with f/3.5 Tessar, or ^23 los. with f/2.8
Tessar. Contax spools of 36 exposures
cost 3s. 8d.
Further particulars and illustrations of
this attractive little camera are obtainable
on request from Zeiss Ikon Ltd., Mor¬
timer House, 37-41, Mortimer Street, W, i .

The Amateur Photographer & Cinematographer
. ANNUAL .
Lantern-Slide Competition
. 1934 .
Every reader of The Amateur Photographer who is interested in the making of lantern slides
should participate in “ The A.P.” Annual Lantern-Slide Competition. Not only are the
seven classes comprehensive in their variety of subjects to suit all workers, but inclusion of
slides in “ The A.P.” prize set which circulates throughout the British Isles can be considered as
the hall-mark of excellence, which every lantern-slide maker should strive for. Each succeeding
year the competition proves increasingly popular, and has come to be regarded as a test of merit in
lantern-slide production. We hope, therefore, that again this year every lantern-slide maker will
enter the competition. The conditions and awards are set out below. It should be noted that
the awards are made to individual slides and not to sets ; but every competitor can send as many slides into as many classes as he or
she desires. The slides are judged on the screen under the best conditions. After the judging the prize-winning slides, and a
number of others which are selected for purchase, form the exhibition collection which goes on tour to all parts of the country for a
year or more. Secretaries of photographic societies who have not yet booked the set of “ A.P.” Prize Slides should hasten to do so,
and submit alternative dates. This is necessary to enable a complete and expeditious itinerary to be arranged before the slides start on
their journey in November. In the meantime, those who intend entering this competition should note that the closing date for
receiving entries is Wednesday, October 31st.
Classes and Subjects.
Class I. — Landscape with or without figures, sea
subjects and river scenery.
Class II. — Portraiture and figure studies, whether
indoor or outdoor pictures.
Class III. — Architecture, interior and exterior.
Class IV. — Flowers, fruit and other ” Still-Life ”
subjects.
Conditions
(1) All classes are open to amateur and professional photo¬
graphers without any restrictions. All slides must measure
3 J X 3 J in., and must be properly spotted for showing in the lantern.
(2) One silver plaque, one bronze plaque, and four certifi¬
cates are offered in each class except Class VII. In that, the
Champion Class, the award will be a mounted and signed exhi¬
bition picture by Mr. F. J. Mortimer, the Editor of The A mateur
Photographer and Cinematographer and Photograms of the Year.
(3) All slides which receive any award will become the
property of The Amateur Photographer and Cinematographer,
and will be sent round amongst the societies and such other
associations as apply for the loan of them. Any other slides
may be selected for circulation in this manner, and will be
paid for at the rate of half a crown each.
(4) Competitors may send any number of slides in any class,
and may be recorded as winning any number of awards ; but
no competitor will actually receive in the competition more
than one silver plaque, one bronze plaque, and one certificate,
on which all his awards will be recorded. Competitors may
enter in any number of classes.
(5) Each slide must bear the competitor’s name, its title
and its class. With the slides must be sent an envelope con¬
taining the name and full address of the competitor, a list of
Class V. — Natural History subjects.
Class VI. — Lantern slides in colour (not hand-
coloured) .
Class VII. — Champion Class. Open only to those who
have won silver or bronze plaques in
The Amateur Photographer and Cine¬
matographer lantern-slide competition.
and Awards.
the titles of all the slides he is sending in, and the class in which
such are entered. Particulars as to make of plate, exposure,
developer used, etc., and other technical data which may be
of interest for incorporation in the notes which will accompany
the winning slides on their tour among the photographic
societies, should also be given where thought necessary.
(6) A stamped and addressed label (not loose stamps) should
be sent with the slides for their return if unsuccessful ; but in
no circumstances can the Editor or the Publishers accept any
responsibility for slides sent in for competition, nor for their
return ; neither can slides be returned which are not accom¬
panied by stamps as above.
(7) Not more than one slide from any one negative can be
admitted, nor may any slide compete which has before won an
award in these competitions.
(8) The last day for receiving is Wednesday, October 31st.
The slides must be well packed and addressed, " Slide
Competition, The Editor, The Amateur Photographer and
Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London.
S.E.i,” and all carriage charges must be prepaid.
(9) In any case of dispute, the competitor agrees to accept
the decision of the Editor of The A mateur Photographer and
Cinematographer as final.

MEWS AND REVIEWS
X ^ ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
A film society has been founded in
North London with the object of spread¬
ing the idea of him as an art medium
and of giving lectures on him technique,
etc. It is hoped also to supplement
this work with a production group.
The hrst performance to be given by
the North London Film Society will
be on Sunday, November 4th, at the
Plaza Cinema, Dalston, E.8, at 2.15.
An ambitious programme has been
arranged. The President is Councillor
M. E. Waldman, Deputy Mayor of
Hackney, and the Hon. Secretary is
H. A. Green, of 6, Carysfort Road,
Stoke Newington, N.16, who will supply
all information and particulars to any
reader of “ The A.P.” on application.
The Gravesend and District Photo¬
graphic Society have now commenced
their winter season, and their head¬
quarters are 12, Windmill Street, Graves¬
end, where a fully-equipped dark-room
is available every Monday and Thursday.
The subscription is 5s., and photographers
in the neighbourhood wishing to join
should apply for all further particulars
from the Hon. Secretary, Eric F. Broome,
23, Clarence Place, Gravesend.
The article entitled " Infra-Red for
the Amateur,” appearing in last week’s
issue of “The A.P.,” was wrongly
attributed to J. Inglis Stewart. The
author’s name should have been given
as Bernard Alfieri, Jun., who has spe¬
cialised in this work for a considerable
time.
We have recently had the opportunity
of making further tests with the Fine-
Grain Developer recently issued by
Messrs. Burroughs Wellcome & Co., Ltd.,
in Tabloid form. Like all the products
made by this firm, the fine-grain developer
is not only of perfect quality, but does all
that is claimed for it. It is founded on
a formula of the borax type and gives
negatives of good colour and remarkable
freedom from grain. It does not call
for prolonged development, but pro¬
duces an image singularly free from fog
or veil. In use the Tabloids are dis¬
solved in plain water, using a sufficient
number of the products to produce the
necessary amount of solution. If ultra-
fine grain is required a 20 per cent
solution of anhydrous sodium sulphite
is used instead of part of the water. A
time-table is given of correct times for
developing different films at different
temperatures. Factors for factorial
development are also given on the
cartons, so that development to the
correct degree of contrast is rendered
simple. "Tabloid ” Fine-Grain Developer
is issued in cartons each containing
materials sufficient for preparing 30
ounces of normal strength developer, or
60 ounces of tank developer.
A new Ebner camera has been put
on the market by Messrs. R. F. Hunter,
Ltd., of Celfix House, 51, Gray’s Inn
Road, W.C.i. We have already re¬
ferred to an earlier model of the Ebner
series, and commented on its neat
bakelite " streamline ” body. The new
camera is similarly attractive in appear¬
ance, and has the same perfect finish
both as regards its exterior and interior,
but is constructed to give 16 pictures
4.5 x6 cm. on a Six-20 Kodak film. The
camera is strongly made and springs into
action on pressing a button. The direct-
vision finder and sighting-pin fold away
neatly and there are no projections of
any sort when the camera is closed. It
is, however, a highly efficient and work¬
manlike job and is capable of doing the
best work. It is supplied with Meyer
Trioplan f/4.5 anastigmat in delayed-
action Pronto shutter at £6, or with
Meyer Primotar f/3.5 in Compur shutter
at ^10 15s., or with Zeiss Tessar f/3.8 in
Compur shutter at £12 17s. 6d. An
illustrated leaflet with full details will
be sent on application to the above
address.
A useful table showing the latest
dates of despatch for letters and parcels
from London for Overseas Christmas
Mailshas been issued by the G.P.O., and is
obtainable from any post office. This
should 'be secured by all readers sending
Christmas greetings and photographs to
friends abroad. We note, for instance,
that October 31st is the latest day for
dispatch to W. Australia.
The Autotype Company has intro¬
duced a new three-colour filter attach¬
ment, for use by the colour worker who
does not wish to go to the expense of pur¬
chasing the Autotype Repeating Back.
The three-colour filters are bound, side
by side, and cemented between two
pieces of glass of high quality, and slide
into a metal filter-holder, which in turn

is clipped on to the camera lens mount.
The standard set stocked by the Com¬
pany is suitable for all lens mounts
(except the screw focussing variety) with
diameters up to if in., and the price,
including the set of filters and holder,
is 22s. 6d. Larger sizes can be made to
order.
An attractive little novelty that will
appeal to every photographer has just
been introduced by Messrs. Johnson and
Sons, Ltd., Hendon Way, N.W.4. It is
a cigarette lighter in the form of a tiny
folding camera ; in fact, at first sight it
appears to be the smallest miniature
camera conceivable, until its real purpose
is disclosed. It represents a closed cam¬
era, but all necessary details are in view
in the shape of lens, pointer for stop,
finders, film- winder, and even the little
red window at the back. Messrs.
Johnson are to be congratulated on this
neat little production, which sells at
7s. 6d. Every reader who is a smoker
should obtain one, and if he is not a
smoker should get one to present to a
photographic friend who is.

eaders' Questions
ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed ; “ The Editor, The Amateur Photoi’rnpher
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, vt'ithout exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions nmst be typewritten, or in very leeible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid bv arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
E.vquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
( I ) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, e.xcept so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
for criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as *' How can I take interiors ? ” or " Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) .All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selectim of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
m)ist contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Contrasty Negatives.
I enclose some negatives and prints. Can you
give me a hint on how to get better results ?
R. H. J. (Cullompton.)
Many of your negatives are much
over-developed, in some cases following
under-exposure. The result is that the
negatives are too contrasty ; that is, too
clear in some parts and too dense in
others. To add to the trouble you are
using a contrasty paper, which simply
emphasises the defects. For these con¬
trasty negatives you must use a softer
grade of paper.
Scratched Condenser.
The condenser of my enlarger is scratched. Can
you give me an address in the neighbourhood
where I could get the scratches taken out ?
C. P. (Upton-on-Sevem.)
We have no addresses of people who
repolish lenses anywhere in your neigh¬
bourhood. You do not say what is the
size of the condenser, but we should
imagine that it would be quite as ex¬
pensive to have the glasses repolished
as to buy a new condenser.
Amidol Developer.
Can I keep a stock solution of sulphite and add
amidol to it as required ? Is the e.xact amount of
amidol important, or would it be possible to use
a smaU scoop of appropriate size as a measure ?
N. R. M. (Shefford.)
Suggestions have been made for an
amidol solution that will keep for some
time, but we should not advise you to
attempt to keep a solution of sodium
sulphite, nor is there the slightest need
for anything of the sort. If you use
the anhydrous sulphite it will dissolve
at once, and all you have to do is to add
the necessary amount of amidol. As
regards this amount, there is considerable
latitude, and if you find a small scoop or
something of the sort that will just hold
an amount that has been weighed out
for the purpose, you can safely use it in
future without further weighing.
Making Filters.
I want to try my hand at making filters. Will
you tell me what dyes to use ?
J. T. M. (Newcastle.)
The questions you put cannot be
dealt with bricflv, and are matters for
reference to a good textbook. In the
" Dictionary of Photography,” published
by this firm at 8s. post free, the question
of colour filters occupies six pages of
small print, and even this is only dealing
in a comparatively brief manner with
the subject.
Markings on Lens.
I have a lens mounted in a shutter. What do the
following markings mean? i : 8 F = 10.5 cm.,
B. T., 32, 22, 16, ri, 8, with a pointer underneath.
J. B. (Gateshead.)
The inscription on your lens means
that it has a focal length of 10.5 centi¬
metres, and that the largest stop is f/8.
The other stops are shown bv the num¬
bers with the pointer. The next smaller
stop is f/ii, and with this you must give
double the exposure for f/8. Each time
you go to a smaller stop you must double
the e.xposure for the previous one.
When you set your shutter to B, it will
open and remain open until you release
it ; when yon set it to T, it will open
and remain open until you press the
trigger again.
Using Photographs.
Can I send prints of the same subject to several
papers and magazines at once ? If I send a print
to a competition and it is published can it be sold
again ? J. P. (King’s Langley.)
There is nothing to prevent your
sending copies of the same subject to
any number of papers and magazines
at the same time. If the organisers of
the competition have reproduced one
of your prints without any arrangement
as to acquiring copyright you ejan still
do what you please with further copies.
Blocking Window.
What is the best and cheapest way of darkening
a skylight to make a dark-room ? Will trans¬
parent red paint do ? J. R. D. (Edinburgh.)
You must dismiss the idea of using
paint or anything of the sort for the
window. The only safe way is to block
it up with a removable screen, in the
form of a wooden frame covered with
linoleum or something else opaque. It
is far and away the best plan to shut
out all daylight and use a dark-room
lamp. When you remove the screen the
window will be available for ordinary
lighting purposes.
Stained Prints.
What is the cause of the yellow stains on the
enclosed gaslight prints ? J. B. (Bramcote.)
There are two principal causes for
such stains as you are getting on your
prints. The first is under-exposing the
paper and leaving it in the developer
too long in the hope that it will
strengthen properly. The other is not
rinsing out the developer before putting
the print in the fixing batli.
Bleaching Print.
How can I get rid of the image on a silver print
on which I have drawn with fixed ink ?
A. W. A. (Sevenoaks.)
There are several ways of getting rid
of the photographic image, as we pre¬
sume that it is on bromide paper,
although a silver print does not definitely
indicate this. Make up a strong solution
of copper sulphate so that it is a deep
sky-blue colour, and add to it some
common salt ; the quantity is immaterial
as long as you put sufficient. It is
better to bleach the print by artificial
light. When the image has disappeared,
put the print through one or two changes
of clean water, fix in a plain hypo bath,
and then wash thoroughly. .\ better
bleach for the purpose is a solution of
i- oz. potassium iodide in 10 oz. of water,
with enough metallic iodine added to
give a deep ruby colour.
Uneven Density.
The eiiclosed negative is one of many in which
there is a streak of uneven density down the
middle. The dish was rocked continuously. Can
you explain the cause ? W. S. (Barnsley.)
The cause of the trouble with your
negatives is that you rocked the dish in
one direction only, and with a very
fully-exposed negative such as this the
band of lower density along the middle
is almost certain to appear. We shall
probably deal with this question at
greater length shortly.
Stop for Landscapes.
I am chiefly interested in landscape work, and
propose to buy a - miniature camera. Am I
correct in assuming that an f/3.5 lens has greater
defining power than an f/4.5 ? Will the negatives
enlarge to 7x5 ? P. J. E. (Wandsworth.)
It is very rarely that you require to
use a large-aperture lens for landscape
work, and you are mistaken in supposing
that an f/3.5 aperture gives better
definition than f/4,5. With the camera
you name and a reasonably small
aperture there is no reason why the
negatives should not enlarge satis¬
factorily up to any , size you are likely
to require.

Some, we hope, will be r^eal Exhibition prints. Others may fall
short for want of, perhaps, just that difference of definition or extra
rapidity that a
LENS
could have given. Some, perhaps, would have been better if taken
with a longer focus lens and a more distant view-point ; others,
maybe, needed a wider angle than your lens would cover. A ZEISS
TESSAR with Distar and Proxar attachments would have provided
both without the necessity for carrying a battery of lenses.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, olfering to take
such goods in exchange for others, of to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

Wouldn’t you like to get indoor pictures like this ? Well, you can ! And it’s infinitely easy
with a Rolleiflex. Not only does its separate finder lens enable you to catch your subject
just at the right instant — but its high-class Zeiss Tessar taking lens gives remarkable results
at any time, which with an ordinary lens would be impossible.
Rolleiflex pictures make beautiful lantern slides and the Rolleiflex can also be used for making
“stills” for cine pictures

★ Inexpensive New Kodak Equipment makes
indoor picture-making at night easy.
Fast Kodak panchromatic films, extremely sensitive to
artificial light, allow big reductions in exposure times.
Handy, low-priced lighting aids provide brilliant, easily-
controlled illumination in any room.
Fireside portraits, a bridge party, the kiddies at bath¬
time — new pictures in plenty — start making them
to-night !
KODAK SUPER SENSITIVE PANCHROMATIC FILM,
Three times as fast as regular Kodak Film to artificial light.
“PANATOMIC” FILM,
Not quite so fast as “S.S. Pan,” but still very much faster to
artificial light than regular Kodak Film. Superfine grain.
NEW “PHOTOFLOOD” LAMP.
Plugs into ordinary electric light socket ; gives intense, continuous
light ; one and half times as powerful as earlier type, yet
reduced to nearly half the price. Lasts for approximately two hours
continuous burning time, sufficient for an immense number of
exposures. Safety fuse incorporated . . . . . . 4/-
“KODAFLECTOR” JUNIOR.
Reflector for “Photoflood”; increases effectiveness of illumination
two and half times. Supplied with handy wire stand that can be
stood on table, hung from wall, over chair, etc., in a dozen useful
positions. Complete with 9 feet of flex, but without lamp 6/-
“SASHALITE” BULB.
The powderless successor to flashlight. Flash takes place in
sealed glass bulb, flred by ordinary torch battery. No smoke, no
smell, no danger. Each bulb gives one brilliant flash. Allows
night-time indoor snapshots to be taken with any camera.

FOR RELIABILITY of PERFORMANCE THEY ARE UNEQUALLED
The Model G. 916 for both 9.5-mm. and 16-mm. films
incorporates a specially designed mechanism, ensuring the maxi¬
mum amount of screen illumination as distinct with light
intensity inside the lamphouse. When fitted with a 5oo-watt lamp
and a mechanism equivalent to a three -bladed shutter permit¬
ting of projections at really slow speeds without flicker, the screen
intensity is no less than 250 LUMENS — the highest yet achieved.

It’s easy ! There’s no need to be good at drawing; you don’t
even have to follow the outlines accurately, as transparent colours
do not obscure them. If it does not look right at first, colour can
be removed without the slightest damage to the print surface.
By blending the crayons the most delicate effects are obtainable,
and you can produce work which has individuality, and is really

FOR RELIABLE PROJECTION . . .
The KINOX is the latest development in design of i6-mm. high-class projectors. The
mistake of following theatre machine construction in an instrument designed for amateur
or club purposes has not been made in the Kinox. It is self-contained in suitcase form,
and when out of use the whole of the mechanism, including the lamp, is contained in its
housing safe from damage, dust or dirt. The projection lens has an aperture of f/1.4 and
the definition is typical of Zeiss Ikon superiority. To give an idea of the intense illumina¬
tion it is necessary only to say that screen pictures of ample brilliancy are possible up
to 13 ft. wide. Threading and all operations are easy and convenient, and the films are
rewound by motor.
Supplied in two models :
Model A, with 250-watt lamp, and Model B, with 375-watt lamp.
KINAMO . . . and the Kinamo for Taking
Dependable Home Movies
The KINAMO is an instrument of extreme pre¬
cision without being comphcated. Indeed, it is as

WEDNESDAY, October 31ST, 1934.
Entries for our Annual Lan¬
tern Slide Competition close
to-day (Wednesday, October
31st), although packages arriving by
first post to-morrow will still be
considered. After that, however, it
will be too late, as the judging will be
proceeded with immediately. The
bookings for the prize slides have
been unusually heavy this year.
There are only a few vacant dates
between the end of November and
May of next year. Hon. secretaries
of societies who have not yet applied
for the set should hasten to do so,
but must send alternative dates.
We will fit' them in if it is at all
possible. There is every evidence of
a revival of interest in lantern slide
and projection work at the present
time, and this Lantern and Cine Num¬
ber of “ The A.P.” will, we hope,
still further increase that interest.
Lantern Slide Cover-Glasses.
A photographic society lanternist,
who handles many hundreds of
slides every lecture season, is of
opinion that amateur makers of
slides do not pay sufficient attention
to the quality of the glass used for
covering the slide. He says that a
set of one hundred slides made by
an experienced worker is often no
heavier than a set of sixty or seventy
slides made by -an amateur, because
of the thickness of the covering-
glasses. Many slide-makers clean
the emulsion from faulty slides and
use the glasses for covering good
slides, but some there are who cut
up old quarter-plate negatives for
covers, and the difference between
the thickness of lantern plates and
old negatives is very pronounced.
When old negative glasses are used
it is a good plan to use only the
lightest. The average thickness of
a serviceable and proper covering-

glass is twenty to the inch, and as
modern dry plates of the best make
(quarter-plate) average twenty to the
inch, such glasses may serve. Quar¬
ter-plates made a generation or more
ago, however, are often from twelve
to fifteen per inch, hence their
weight and bulk when made into
cover - glasses. Cover - glasses of
commerce are of eight different
thicknesses, viz., 14, 16, 18, 20,
22, 24, 27 and 30 to the inch, ranging
in price from 3s. 6d. to 12s. per
gross. While all thicknesses have
their uses, even the 14 and 30 to
the inch, the 20 size is perhaps the
most popular and serviceable.
Stained Lantern Slides.
A recent enquiry and reply anent
stained lantern .slides developed with
a hydroquinone developer reminds a
correspondent (an old photographer)
that a generation or more ago it was
customary for certain people to
advertise the sale of so-called secret
formula, and one of these was a
remedy for stained slides. The use
of hydroquinone was suggested by
Sir William Abney in 1880, but it
was not possible to bring it into use
at that date owing to its expense,
and some years passed before photo¬
graphers were able to buy it very
cheaply. Hydroquinone proved to
be an excellent developer for lantern
slides, but at times it was found to
stain slides very badly, and the
seci'et remedy had a big sale.
Forced or prolonged development
of slides, even to-day, may result
in yellow-stained pictures, and the
so-called secret remedy or trade
secret is worthy of a trial. The plan
(which is no secret to-day) is to
dissolve a few grains of permanga¬
nate of potash in cold water, enough
of each to make a solution pale pink
in colour. The weU-washed hydro-

quinone-stained slide is simply im¬
mersed in this weak permanganate
solution and allowed to remain until
the stain disappears, the slide is then
washed in plain cold water and
dried. In most cases, but un¬
fortunately not in all, the treatment
is effective.
A Primary Light Standard.
Those able pioneers Hurter and
Driffield had a memorial lecturer
after their own heart last week when
Dr. J. W. T. Walsh, of the National
Physical Laboratory, discoursed on
light standards ancient and modern.
It was rather astonishing to be
reminded that the candle remained
the light standard in this country
until almost the end of the last
century, and that Hurter and Drif¬
field themselves carried out their
classic work using a sperm candle
as the standard. In Germany the
Hefner lamp had come along a few
years earlier. Dr. Walsh described
some work recently done by four
researchers at the Bureau of Stand¬
ards, Washington, whereby a primary
standard reproducible from specifi¬
cation will presently be established.
There is already an international
standard of illumination (used by
practically all countries except Ger¬
many and certain German-speaking
countries) , and the unit is maintained
in all the principal countries to an
accuracy of about one-tenth of one
per cent, which is sufficient for
commercial and most scientific needs.
But at the same time there has
been up to now no primary stand¬
ard reproducible from specification
whereby the unit could be re¬
established should all the units in
the different countries, by some
strange chance, undergo destruction,
or, what is more within the bounds
of probability, suffer serious diminu¬
tion of candle-power with lapse of
time. The new primary unit will
consist of what physicists call a
“ black body,” a tube of fused
thoria supported in a crucible filled
with platinum. High temperatures
are applied, the platinum being
slowly raised to melting-point —
something of the range of 2,000
absolute units — and the visible
brightness obtained simply as a
result of the temperature is deter¬
mined as the standard. Experi¬
ments on this form of standard are
now in active progress in all the
chief standards laboratories, and
it may be confidently expected that
within the next few years there will
be available a real primary standard.
Radiography as a Calling.
Attending the annual dinner of
the Society of Radiographers the
other evening, we were impressed by
the number of ladies who are taking
up that calling. The majority of
radiographers appear nowadays to
be ladies. Their dainty fingers are
well employed with the X-ray tube
and the plates and the intensifying
screens. They are not, of course,
medical people, though they are
employed in hospitals and elsewhere
under medical supervision, and all
have passed an examination. There
is a great field for it, too, not only
in human but in veterinary medi¬
cine. One of the speakers at the
dinner told us that he had accom¬
plished the task of obtaining an
X-ray negative of an entire elephant.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Clouds in Lantern Slides.
/ have been trying, with fair success, to introduce clouds from
another negative when making lantern slides. My trouble is
with clouds showing through other objects. I know there is a
dodge for having the sky on another plate. Can you give me a
hint or two about it ? J. S. K. [Cardiff.)
There is no disguising the fact that the introduction of
clouds is a much more difficult operation in the case of a
lantern slide than in the case of a print. With the latter- a
little hand-work on the print may easily remedy any defects
and shortcomings ; -with the former this may be considered
out of the question. Further, the slide -will be enormously
enlarged on the .screen, and every defect thereby exaggerated.
We -will consider a difficult case — one in which a white or
very light building rises up against the sky beyond. If we
can deal with this, we can deal even more easily with other
objects, such as trees and distant hills.
It must be remembered that the sky in the " landscape”
slide will most likely require clearing. Any sign of existing
clouds, or even a slight tone in the sky, must be removed if
the introduced sky is to be satisfactory. This can be done by
holding the slide upside down and applying a reducer with a
soft brush or cotton-wool. The solution will then run down¬
wards over the sky, and not over the landscape. The Howard
Farmer reducer (hypo-ferricyanide) is suitable, preferably
in rather weak form.
A plan that has been advocated is to develop, fix, wash and
dry the landscape slide, and put this in contact -with the second
plate to act as a mask while printing the clouds. There are
several objections to this. It applies only to projection (not
contact work). The white house will not act as a mask at all,
and the clouds will print (and afterwards show) through it.
And there is a difficulty in getting accurate registration between
the two plates, even although thej^ are face to face.
The better course is to make the landscape slide first, and
then make the cloud slide, vignetting it off so that the lower
part overlaps the landscape. In this condition the overlapping
would of course be visible.
Therefore the next step is to remove those parts of the sky
that overlap the landscape. Dry the glass side of the sky
slide and hold this and the landscape slide together, back to
back, with the edges exactly registering. Again with a reducing
solution and a soft brush, remove the overlapping parts of
the sky. In this case the slides are held the right way up, and
must be looked through at right angles, and not at all sideways,
while the work is being done.
The white house can now oe cleared by careful and gentle
work with the brush, and here and elsewhere great care must
be taken not to run out into the parts of the sky that are to
show, or a light outline will be visible around the landscape
sky-line. The slide should be rinsed under the tap at intervals,
surface water removed, and the glass side dried before resum¬
ing operations.
Make sure that the lighting of the clouds is correct for their
reversed position.
With warm-toned slides the exposure for landscape and
clouds must be so adjusted that the two plates can be developed
together for the same time, or there will be a difference in
colour between the landscape and the sky.
These are briefly the operations necessary, but some practice
is required before perfect results can be obtained, and there
will inevitably be a certain waste of material, especially in
arriving at the correct exposures of the two plates to secure
harmony of tone.

he LANTERN LECTURE (o
FROM THE With the lecture season at hand the following article should be read
LECTURER'S by every reader of “The A.P.” who has been asked to give a lan-
SIDE. tern lecture and is preparing to face an audience for the first time.
The lantern lecture shows no
signs of falling off in popu¬
larity, if one may judge from
the winter activities of the photo¬
graphic societies. It has been said
that the Englishman dislikes being
lectured to, just as much as the
American appreciates it . Apart from
this, the lantern lecture still attracts,
especially if the subject is of general
interest and the slides which illus¬
trate it are of good quality.
At the present time of the year
there are doubtless many members
of photographic societies who have
been prevailed upon to give a lecture
during the coming season. The
beginner should never refuse an invi¬
tation of this sort ; it will give him
a start in a congenial atmosphere.
The Subject.
This should be one with which
the lecturer is personally conversant.
It is possible to give a lecture on
almost any subject by means of
works of reference, but while the
facts may be accurate, and the
presentation faultless in every way,
such a lecture would lack the appeal
of one given as the result of personal
knowledge and experience.
Given a knowledge of the subject,
great care should be taken in its
preparation. If the subject is a
technical one it must be presented
in a popular manner, so that those
who have no technical knowledge
will be able to understand and to
follow the lecturer’s remarks. If
it is necessary to use technical
terms they should be explained,
if possible, by means of a slide. The
latter will make the point clear at
once, and there will not be any
need of further explanation.
Whatever the subject, be it a
descriptive journey through inter¬
esting or historic country, or the
story of some engineering under¬
taking, the first step is to secure the
slides. The lecturer will be limited
by what is available in this respect,
and if the photographer has not
enough of his own, he should
secure those necessary for a con¬
tinuous account from some other
source of supply. There must be a
connected sequence in the slides.
To attempt to deal with some aspect
of a subject, and to apologise with
regret that the lecturer has no slide
to show, is a confession of failure
that is sufficient to kill the effort
from the start.
The Lecture.
It is a good plan to arrange the
form that the lecture is to take
under headings, and then to arrange
the slides in their order. The slides
should be consecutive, and an aspect
of the subject once dealt with should
not need further reference. The
lecture may be written out in full,
so that the lecturer may decide
what he is going to say about each
slide. In this way there need be
no overlapping of details, which
results from lack of attention to
details in the preliminary stages of
the preparation of the lecture.
Opinions ai'e divided as to the
effectiveness of the read or extem¬
pore lecture. There is no doubt that
the latter is the more convincing,
but very few lecturers venture to
dispense with notes, unless they
have a full knowledge of the subject
and considerable experience. For
the first time it is well to depend upon
MS., and if the lecturer decides to
dispense with this, it is a comfort
to have the written script to hand
should the memory fail.
After a little experience the lec¬
turer should be able to dispense with
notes ; the appearance of the picture
on the screen should bring to mind
what is to be said about it.
The Delivery.
With regard to the actual de¬
livery of the lecture there are one
or two points that should have
attention. Those who are not
familiar with public speaking are
likely to have an attack of “ nerves,”
but this should be resisted. The
speaker should face the audience,
and when speaking the chin should
be kept off the chest. W’hen pointing
out some feature of the picture on
the lantern screen, the lecturer must
beware of the common fault of
addressing the remarks to the screen,
with the result that those at the
back of the hall are unable to hear
a word. The secret of successful
public speaking is to speak slowly
and deliberately, pronouncing each
word distinctly.
The lecture should start with a
slide, and there should always be
a picture on the screen. If the
explanation takes several minutes,
the slide may be changed for that
of another version of the same
subject, from another angle, and
in this way the interest is held.
The lecturer should be very careful
to see that his slides are in the
correct order. His signals for
changes of slide should be pre¬
arranged with the operator, and
given with deliberation. Mistakes
in this direction are trying to both.
The Time of the Lecture.
Opinions differ as to the time
that should be occupied by a lecture.
Much depends upon the lecture, its
quality, and also upon the ability
of the lecturer. Generafty the ideal
is a few minutes under the hour.
Even the most enthusiastic audience
becomes a little tired after that.
It is better to finish while there is
still a taste for more, rather than
to give too much.
In General.
It is the custom of many photo¬
graphic societies, and a very good
one, to arrange “ lecturette ” even¬
ings. These provide an opportunity
for those who have insufficient
material, or are indifferent of their
powers to fill an entire evening, to
co-operate with their fellow mem¬
bers. It also provides for the
inexperienced to make a first
attempt, with others, in the friendly
atmosphere of their own club.

he LANTERN LECTURE dD
FROM THE
LANTERNISTS
SIDE.
In the following notes a straight talk to the lantern operator is given
by an experienced worker. Many points of practical value to the
Club lanternist will be found in this article.
During the winter session your club or society devotes
a large proportion of its meetings to lantern lectures ;
if you, as lanternist, do not present these evenings
efficiently you are robbing your fellow-members of some
of their yearly subscriptions. The writer, who has had
some experience both as lanternist and lecturer, has seen
examples which were not only a disgrace to the club con¬
cerned but an insult to the lecturer. There is no excuse for
this !
As a lanternist, “ make a job ” of
your job, become enthusiastic, and re¬
member that the club that makes a
success of its lantern evenings stands
a better chance of getting the best
lecturers, who, as a rule, are not con¬
cerned so much with numbers as with
the quality of the presentation and
care of handling of their slides.
A perfect lecture consists of three
things ; a good lecturer, an attentive
audience, and a good lanternist — so
it’s up to you ! The hints and gadgets
described below have all been tried
out in the writer’s club, and are of
proved practical value. How then to
arrive at this 100 per cent lantern
lecture — it requires a certain amount of trouble, but will be
well worth it.
First, before any lecture, thoroughly overhaul the lan¬
tern, clean the lens (both faces) and the condenser — remem¬
ber it has four faces. See that the only light getting out of
the lantern gets out through the slide and lens, any getting
away in any other direction is. wasted, and will tend to spoil
the picture on the screen. A little black-lead rubbed on the
grooves of the slide carrier will make it slide easily and
without jolting the lantern, while two pieces of “ Sorbo ”
rubber glued in the grooves will allow the slides to " fall
softly ” when placed in position.
Get all y?)ur setting up and focussing done before the
lecturer arrives. Having once found the position of the
lantern in the meeting-room, mark it so that it is a simple
matter to replace it on future occasions. A small scratch
on the tube will fix the position of the lens sufficiently near
to enable the final adjustments to be made with the thumb¬
screw. Make a focussing slide of your own, one that can
remain in the light of the lantern with¬
out coming to harm from the heat.
This can be made as follows :
Take two cover -glasses, allow for binding, and on one,
in each corner, paste the initials of your club cut from
newspaper headlines, place the second cover-glass in
position, bind and spot in the usual way. This will give
you a white picture with black letters at the vital points
by which proper alignment can be made, and prevents,
what so often happens, focussing with the lecturer’s first
slide.
See that the screen is opaque and white, and what is
A
equally important, see that it is kept so.
An excellent
quite easily. Build, or have built, a frame of 2 x 2 quarter¬
ing with one cross-bar in the middle of a size 6 in. bigger
all round than the largest picture your lantern will throw,
cover this with " Beaver Board,” butting the joint on the
cross-bar, cover the joint with paper with “ feathered ”
edges and give the whole a coat of ” whiffi undercoat ” —
a matt paint.
The ideal to aim for is the effect that the lecturer is
changing his own slides, and any signalling device that
makes a noise prevents this. A signalling lamp as shown
in Fig. I will solve this problem ; with it only the two
parties concerned know when the change will take place.
This lamp works on simple lines — the “ centre line ” is
pointed towards the lanternist, the light from the q^-volt
pocket lamp issue as a narrow beam and can only be seen
by those in its direct path. Placed at the side of the
screen, it allows the lanternist to enjoy the pictures as well
as the remainder of the audience.
To see one slide chase another across the screen or one
diffusing into the next detracts from the spoken word as
much as the noisy signal does ;
much the best thing to do is to
" black out ” while the change is
taking place.
The gadget shown in Fig. 2 is
simple and effective— a pair of doors
actuated by a bell-crank lever, and
mounted about half an inch from
the front of the lens, with a width
half an inch larger over all than the
lens. A flick one way and the slide .
is ” blacked out,” the carrier
pushed over, and a second flick in

No. 2, and continue until the first slide is
reached. Each partition will take about
20-25 slides.

lantern place it face downwards, spots to

tinuing to fill each partition with used slides

the right way up and free from finger¬
marks.
Ask him to signal the change about six

If it is possible, particularly in small meeting-rooms,
use a “focus light ” in preference to an arc ; it is easier,
cleaner, and what is more important — silent. After all, it
is the lecturer you want to hear, not the lamp.
Just a final word: should the lecturer forget to thank
you in his remarks, take it as a compliment ; he forgot
you were there, and that is the hall-mark of a good lantem-
ist — to be neither seen nor heard, but to be known by his
good works only. S. A. C.
Photograjyhing Fireworks
To those photographers who carry
on their hobby throughout the
year and do not, at the close of
summer, put away their cameras for a
long period of hibernation, fireworks
offer a type of subject which can yield
most unusual and striking results, both
for prints and lantern slides. A good
slide of a brilliant firework display makes
a most impressive effect on the screen.
Firework photographs are not difficult
to take as they virtually photograph
themselves, nor is expensive apparatus
necessary ; even a simple box camera
with largest stop of f/ii is capable of
yielding satisfactory results, provided
a fairly fast film is used.
During the coming week, and especially
of course on the Fifth of November itself,
opportunities will abound for the photo¬
grapher to try his hand at this fascinating
form of night photography. Although
the large public displays, with their
elaborate rockets and set pieces, make
more impressive subjects — and inci¬
dentally easier ones to photograph — than
the small homely shows that will be
held in countless back gardens all over
the country on Guy Fawkes’ night, the
latter may with care be made to yield
some surprisingly good results.
Whichever type of subject is being
attempted a tripod or other firm support
for the camera is an absolute necessity.
When setting up the camera choose a
position such that the wind is not
blowing towards the front of the camera,
but rather to one side ; the smoke will
then be blown across the picture, which
will add considerably to the effect.
At large displays stand well back from
the fireworks in order that the whole of

each item may be included in the picture.
Generally speaking, when photographing
rockets better results are obtained if some
foreground is included as well as the
rocket burst, than if photographs of the
bursts alone are taken with the camera
pointing upwards at the sky. Before
making any exposure, watch the first
few fireworks in the view-finder, and
adjust the levelling of the camera. It
may be found necessary to go farther

back in order to include the whole of
the firework in the picture, or to move to
one side to avoid an obstruction.
Time exposures are, of course, required.
For box cameras set the lens at full
aperture (which in most cases is f/n) and
use a super-sensitive panchromatic film.
If your camera has a faster lens make
sure of a full exposure by using f/8 with
a panchromatic film, or if you prefer
to use one of the double-coated” chrome”
variety of films, these will be found to
give very satisfactory results at a stop
of 1/3.6. If plates are being used they
should be ” backed ” in order to prevent
halation. A small pocket electric torch,
to facilitate changing plates or winding
on film, will be found to be an invalu¬
able accessory on night photography
expeditions.
When photographing ” back-garden ”
.shows, where the camera is quite near
the subject, it is important to see that
it is focussed correctly. Short expo¬
sures only, of one to two seconds’ dura¬
tion, should be given for the brighter
items such as Mount Etna cones or
Roman Candles.
The Guy Fawkes’ night bonfire which
winds up most prh’ate family displays
can also make an excellent photographic
subject. Get people to stand or sit
round it in a circle, making sure that you
have several big people in front shielding
the camera from the direct light of the
fire. - Baqk it with leaves to produce
quantities of smoke and then throw on
some brilliant firework such as a mag¬
nesium star shell, which gives an intense
white light, and get your people to
pose motionless while you make an
exposure of three to four seconds.

The production of lantern
slides offers an interesting
and simple autumn and
winter task for the amateur,
and is a convenient way of showing
the best pictures taken during the
preceding year in a form that will
prove an untiring evening entertain¬
ment on a number of occasions.
For projecting pictures through
a lantern a standard size of lantern
slide 3:} in. square has been adopted.
Positive transparencies in this size
are produced by various methods,
and bound up with a plain piece of
glass (cover-glass) as a protection
to the film when being handled.
Slow emulsion plates, known as
lantern plates, are sold for the

5 H. & D. they can be handled in a
similar way to ordinary bromide

plates are treated like gaslight paper.

Slides by Contact Printing.
In the most simple form, lantern
slides are made by contact printing.
The procedure in brief is as follows :
The lantern plate is placed in a
printing-frame behind a negative,
film to film, and exposed to a bright
light for a few seconds. It is then
developed in any standard developer.

8. — Ennting a number of negatives on
lantern plates by contact with one exposure
in a large printing-frame.
As, however, all negatives are not
the correct size or convenient for
contact printing, it is often necessary
to malce the slides either by enlarge¬
ment or reduction. This is a simple
matter with an enlarger, but there
are other means of obtaining the
same result.
Slides by Enlarging.
With some subjects, such as that
shown in Figs, i and 2, it may be
considered necessary to enlarge.
If a properly equipped enlarger is
not available, the negative can be
fixed to a window with strips of
gum paper as shown in Fig. 3, and
photographed directly on to a lantern
plate by daylight. A plate camera
with a long extension will be required
in order to get the image big enough
on the plate. Every keen amateur
will be well advised to secure a
second-hand quarter-plate focussing
camera with long extension. They
can be picked up very cheaply and
will prove useful for a variety of
of reproducing in
same size, or for
reduction, al¬
though naturally
it would not be
necessary to go to
tliis trouble if a
contact slide
would do.

of 45 degrees as shown in Fig. 4.
This will reflect the light on to the
negative. The exposure can only
be determined after one or two trials,
as the qualit}' of daylight varies.
Apart from small negatives that
have to be enlarged by reason of
their size, the reverse may be the
case, and reduction becomes neces¬
sary.

tain even illumination all over the
negative that is being photographed,
it is a help to fix a piece of white
card on the outside of the window,
bending it approximately to an angle
If the negative is on fihn, it is
held flat in position on a piece of
plain glass. This applies both to
contact printing in a frame and also
when the film is used in an enlarger.

Making Slides by Reduction.
Figs. 5 and b show a subject where
reduction is an advantage, and this
is done by photographing the nega¬
tive on to a lantern plate in the same
way as described for enlarging.
When the negative is not available,
the slide can be printed by contact
from a copy negative obtained by
photographing a print or enlarge¬
ment as shown in Fig. 7.
Making Slides in Quantities.
Sometimes a number of slides are
wanted quickly — as for a lecture —
and there are various ways by which
the production can be simplified,
particularly if the negatives are
suitable for contact printing.
One method is to place a number
of negatives on a piece of plain
glass in a big printing-frame, and
expose them all together, as shown
in Fig. 8. Another way is to load a
number of small printing-frames and
arrange them round a central electric
light. When this is switched on all
the plates are exposed .simul¬
taneously.
If a Guantity of printing-frames is
not available, a satisfactory alterna¬
tive is to clip a lantern plate between
each negative and a stout piece of
cardboard with wooden pegs as
shown in Fig. g. To ensure perfect
contact, it is a good plan to put a
pad of soft paper or cloth between
the cardboard backing and the
lantern plate, and if the former is
a light colour, a piece of black
paper should be placed immediately
behind the plate.
The negatives are sorted up into
about three grades, “ thin,” ‘‘ nor¬
mal,” and ‘‘very dense.” A trial
exposure is given to one of each
batch, and then, providing the
light is constant, it is an easy matter
to make the exposures in bulk with
reasonable certainty.
After exposure, they can be de¬
veloped, all together, in dilute
developer in a tank. By this means
several dozens of lantern plates can
be exposed, developed, washed and
put to dry in an evening sitting.
When dry they are ready for mask¬
ing, binding and spotting.

In addition to the general rules (see below), the
following conditions apply ; —
The high standard of the competitions has been
well maintained, and this is particularly notice¬
able in the Intermediate Section, where prints
of remarkable quality have been entered, some of
which would undoubtedly have scored in the Advanced
Workers’ Section. In the latter section, however,
the standard on this occasion was higher than ever,
and the entries were so goo.l that the awards had to
be increased. In all sections the number of entries
has been on the up-grade for some time, showing a
continued interest on the part of our readers. The
awards are as follows ;

Slide Hints and Formulae
We give below a selection from hints given from time to time on
lantern slide matters, so that they may be handy for reference.
DIAGRAM SLIDES.
N skilled hands good pencil
drawings can be made as lantern
slides by the following method.
They may be lettered titles, dia¬
grams, or artistic sketches. Do the
work with a suitable lead pencil — or
pencils — on a piece of hnely-ground
glass of lantern-plate size. When
finished, flow over it a coating of
dammar or celluloid varnish. This
removes the matt effect of the
glass and protects the pencil work.
Bind lup with a cover-glass as usual,
taking care to spot the slide so that
the subject appears the right way
on the screen.
PRESERVING SLIDE BINDINGS.
The life of the binding strips on
lantern slides will be greatly pro¬
longed by the following treatment.
In a small dish pour some negative
varnish to a depth a little more than
the width of the binding. Dip one
edge of the slide into this, drain,
and set aside to dry. All the four
edges are treated in this way. The
strips must be thoroughly dry before
the work is commenced, and it
is best to make the edge quite
warm before immersing it in the
varnish.
DISTANCE OF LANTERN FROM
SCREEN.
The focus of the lens of an optical
lantern being known it is easy to
calculate the distance the lantern
must be placed from the screen so
as to get a disc of a given diameter.
Take the diameter of the required
disc in feet, multiply by 4, and add i.
Multiply the number so obtained by
the focal length of the lens, and it
gives the required distance in inches.
Example : Focal length of lens
=6 in. ; size of disc required = 10 ft.
Then 10x44-1=41; and 41x6 =
246 in. =20 ft. 6 in.
SPOTTING SLIDES.
The term “ spotting ” in con¬
nection with slides is generally
understood to refer to the marking
of the slide as a guide to the
lanternist in putting it the right way
in the carrier. But a slide some¬
times requires spotting in the same
way as a print. This is a delicate
operation, and unless very carefully
handled the blemish will show on
the screen. It is necessary to use
a strong magnifying glass, and the
best method of spotting is to take
a very fine sable brush and apply
tiny touches of transparent colour
of the kind used for tinting slides.
Any colour can thus be matched.
The brush must be very lightly
charged — as dry as it is possible for
it to be, consistent with the colour
adhering to the slide.
POLISHING COVER-GLASSES.
If-a cover-glass is held in the hand
for polishing it is difficult to deal
with the edges, and finger-marks
may be left. A handy accessory
may be prepared in a few minutes.
Take a piece of stout strawboard,
say 6 inches square, and glue down
on to it another piece a little thinner
than a cover-glass. In this second
card an opening 3^ inches square
should first be cut, with a semi¬
circular notch at one side so that
a finger-tip can be used to lift out
the glass.
BLUE SLIDES.
Black-tone lantern slides can be
toned to a good blue, after being
fixed and thoroughly washed, by
immersing them in the following ; —
Water . . . . . . 10 oz.
Ammonio-citrate of iron 25 grs.
Nitric acid . . . . 15 min.
Potassium ferricyanide 25 grs.
Wash the toned slides for about
ten minutes, and dry.
LANTERN SLIDES BY POST.
It is often necessary to send by
post a few lantern slides intended
for competition or for exhibition
purposes. They may be packed as
follows. Any number up to four can
be packed in a lantern-plate box,
with pieces of corrugated card
(3iX3i) above and below them.
Enough card should be used to
prevent any movement of the slides
when the box is shaken after putting
on the lid and securing it with stout
elastic bands. The filled boxes are
then placed in a strong wooden box
sufficiently large to admit of pieces
of corrugated card being placed
above, below, and on all sides of the
plate boxes. The lid of the wooden
box may be screwed on, or, better
still, made to slide in well-fitting
grooves. The whole is then wrapped
in paper, labelled, and securely tied.
KEEPING SLIDES IN ORDER.
It is easy to check the order of a
set of slides at a glance. Arrange
the slides in their box, so that they
are all in proper sequence, and the
right way up. With a ruler draw
two lines, one thick and the other
thin, close together, and running
diagonally along the set from one
end to the other. Any break or
displacement of the lines noticed
subsequently will indicate slides
out of place or the wrong way round.
COPPER TONING FOR SLIDES.
A black-tone lantern slide can
be toned to various colours from
warm black to red, according to the
time of immersion in the following
bath : —
Potassium ferricyanide 20 grs.
Potassium citrate . . i oz.
Copper sulphate . . 25 grs.
Water . 5 oz.
Dissolve the ingredients in the order
given. Wash the slide for at least
15 minutes after toning, and varnish
the slide when dry.
KEEPING SLIDES CLEAN.
Lecture sets of slides should be
overhauled after each time of using,
as they often get badly finger¬
marked. As a rule, pohshing with
chamois leather is sufficient. If
something more is required it is well
to use a cloth very slightly moistened
with methylated spirit. This is
better than water, which takes
longer to dry, and may affect the
paper binding.

Every week an article will appear under this heading dealing
with a topic of interest to the novice in photography.
BEGINNING CINEMATOGRAPHY.
NOTES C NOTIONS
^or tfia
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
SOONER or later a great many
amateur photographers decide to
take up cinematograph work ;
and this is not surprising, as it is ex¬
tremely fascinating. As a rule, those
who come to this decision have
already had more or less experience of
" still ” work, which is all to the good.
Owing to the greater expense of
cine work the beginner should con¬
sider certain matters very carefully
before launching out. Naturally, and
wisely, he will decide on a sub-standard
size, and his first problem will be the
choice of apparatus. I do not propose
to deal with this question now, except
as regards one point. I am repeatedly
asked whether certain low-priced out¬
fits are " as good ” as more expensive
ones, and can never understand on
what grounds they should be expected
to be.
It stands to reason that if the cheap
outfit were actually as efficient as the
expensive one, one of two things
would happen. Either the cheap one
would easily fetch a higher price on
its merits, or the cost of the dear one
would have to be reduced to meet the
competition. A cheap camera and
projector may give reasonably good
results, though certainly not the best ;
and it is generally a wise course for
the beginner to buy the best apparatus
he can afford. The running costs are
the same, and it is poor economy to
be able to get only mediocre results,
or to have the scope of work seriously
limited by the shortcomings of the
apparatus.
But what I wish to do here is to
offer the beginner some advice on his
choice of subjects, in the early stages
at any rate ; and I am well aware that
many enthusiastic movie-makers will
consider this advice definitely bad.
The saving clause is that no one need
accept it who does not choose to do so.
My firm belief, based on somewhat
sad experience, is that the beginner
at cine work is far too prone to run
before he can walk. He is fatally
obsessed by the word “ Hollywood,”
and all that it implies. He picks up
the jargon of the professional studios
with deadly ease, and is talking about
scenarios, and locations, and rhythm,
and worse, when he would be better
employed in learning to turn out a
first-rate technical film of some homely
subject. When he finds himself, as
he well may, taking close-ups of
made-up amateurs trying to "register”
facially some emotion or expression,
he ought to have enough common
sense to realise that he has run clean
off the rails. He is on the wrong tack.
I distinctly remember the begin¬
nings — the very beginnings — of the
" movies.” After the usual lantern
slides, we sat in excited amazement
while the “ slide ” on the screen actu¬
ally moved. It jerked, and jumped,
and flickered, and dithered, and was
often obscured by a sort of luminous
rain ; but water moved and flowed,
trees waved in the wind, vehicles
made definite, if erratic, progress,
and people lived and moved and had
their being. When water came to be
accompanied in its various movements
by the swishing sound of sand in a
box ; and the hoofs of every horse,
whether on rock, soft sand or grass,
gave out the orthodox tap-a-tap, we
thought that realism could no farther
go.
We demand, and get, a vast deal
more now. I would not suggest that
the beginner go back to the crude and
elementary results of the early days ;
but I certainly advise him to go back
part of the way as regards choice of
subjects.
After all, his films are not for public
exhibition in super-cinemas ; they
are mainly for home consumption.
To be, frank, that is about all they are
suitable for ; and if he keeps his eyes
on Hollywood they will not be suitable
for that. Some of the very best
amateur films I have seen have had
for their topics the most homely of
20
October 31st, 1934
incidents, and the characters have
not been " actors,” but people. Surely
we often watch people, even strangers,
with interest, and we may well enjoy
watching them on a film when it has
been managed with skill and discretion.
I have selected, almost haphazard,
the photograph which is reproduced.
In the distance, among other things,
may be seen the home of the Royal
Yacht Squadron at Cowes. The sub¬
ject might well be one in a set of
holiday prints or slides ; but it
would be " still.” We can bring it
to life in a short length of film. We
may set our cin6 camera on a tripod,
so that the landscape and buildings
sit appropriately still, and we can
begin to shoot a moment before the
state of things shown in the print.
The waves will dance and sparkle in
the sun ; the yacht will sail across ;
the motor-boat with its cloud of
spray will career over the sea ; and
the whole thing will be realistic.
What, says Hollywood, is the plot ?
There is none. Where is the heroine ?
Drowned, I hope. All we are aiming
at is a pleasant suggestion of a bit of
Cowes, and if we have succeeded I
certainly think that it was worth
doing, and I further think that our
little friendly audience will agree with
me.
I will not labour the point ; I shall
get into quite enough trouble as it is.
What it boils down to is this. Just
as the ordinary photographer seeks
th( amateur photographer
ta 6 aNEMATOGRAPHER o
for interesting “ snaps,” so the begin¬
ner at cine work should hunt for
subjects that would be attractive as
ordinary photographs, but still more
so when they show movement. This
point he must of course bear in
mind : there must be movement.
Static subjects are unsuitable for
this treatment. Sometimes he will
do well to pre-arrange the move¬
ments, especially with what may be
called domestic subjects ; at other
times he will merely have to record
spontaneous movements as they occur.
It may all seem humble and un¬
ambitious, but that is better than
pretentiousness. I suggest this course
for a beginning. What may come
later is another matter. W. L. F. W.
Binding Lantern Slides
There are many ways of binding a lantern slide, but
the following simple procedure will be found to be the
quickest, and is probably the most satisfactory.
The only materials required are strips of black gummed
paper which can be purchased ready cut to siz^ (3J in. long
by f-in. wide), or
can be cut from
pieces of passe¬
partout gummed
paper tape.
The first stage is
to wet a piece of
binding strip and lay
it on the table, gum
side up. Then take
the lantern plate,
and pressing it to the
Fig. I.
cover-glass (with the mask
between) stand one corner
in the middle of one end of
gummed paper, as shown in
Fig. I. The plate and cover-
glass are carefully lowered
until they are standing in
the centre of the binding
strip. When it is adhering to
the edges, the slide is turned
upside down, and the bind¬
ing strip is pressed down on
both sides with the thumb
and first finger, as shown in
Fig. 2.
This procedure is repeated with each side, and the beginner
will be surprised how quickly it can be done with a little
practice. If there is any difficulty about the paper sticking
firmly it is a good plan, after damping the strip, to give it a
Fig. 3-
further coating of thin gum or paste, applied with a brush.
Two white spots are provided on the top front side of the
slide to indicate which way it is to be placed in the
lantern. These are already on one out of every
four binding strips sold for the purpose. If, how¬
ever, the binding has been cut from plain gummed
paper, they can easily be painted with a dab of
white paint, as shown in Fig. 3, or spots of white
paper can be stuck on.
When masks are necessary they can be bought
ready-made with assorted openings, but the best
way is to use strips of the black binding. These
are stuck to the plate as shown in Fig. 4, before it is
covered with the protecting glass. Any size opening
can be constructed in -this manner.

ADMIRAL
Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
To produce photographs of exhibition standard, candid
criticism of one’s prints is a great help. The best
way of obtaining this is by joining a photographic
club, or by taking part in ‘ The A.P.’ monthly competitions,
as many of my predecessors in this series have done.
'■ In my own case, there being no photographic club in my
district, I became a member of the Camera Correspondence
Club (now defunct), and obtained much benefit from the
criticism of my own and otherSprints in the portfolios. I was
also greatly helped by ‘ The A.P.’ criticisms of my entries in
the monthly competitions. In addition, I think all keen
amateur photographers should join the Photographic Con¬
vention of the United Kingdom.
" For this there is no entrance fee, and the annual sub¬
scription is the nominal one of five shillings. Each year
a meeting lasting one week is held at some place interesting
to photographers, either at home or abroad. The cost is
very moderate. The gathering, which usually numbers about a
hundred, gives an excellent opportunity of getting
to know other photographers, and of exchanging
ideas on the latest developments in photography.
Tours are organised each day, and plenty of time
is given to secure negatives which, being an
optimist, you hope may reach exhibition standard.
“ This year the Convention was held at St.
Malo in June, and two of the pictures I secured
at that meeting were so fortunate as to be accepted
for the R.P.S. exhibition. One of them, ‘ The
Fruit Stall,’ is reproduced opposite.
" Most of my work, except portraiture, is done
with a Zeiss 3|X2j Super Ikonta, with a Zeiss
f/4.5 lens and a Compur shutter. I have found
the self-focussing range-finder of the greate.st
convenience, as it enables me to use the full
aperture without any fear of the principal object
being out of focus. With this camera I always
use Selochrome films.
" For portraiture I use a quarter-plate studio
camera, with a Dallon 12-in. telephoto lens, and
either Ilford Auto-filter plates or Granville cut
films. My smoking-room, with fairly large windows
facing south, is my studio. I do not use artificial
light, but my windows are fitted with Vita glass,
which reduces the exposure about 50 per cent.
This is a great help in the winter months.
“ Practically all my prints and enlargements are
done on chloro-bromide paper. Barring the
necessary spotting of prints and negatives, and a
slight amount of retouching on portrait negatives,
my prints are all ‘ straight ’ ones. This is prob¬
ably due to the fact that I am not skilful enough
to print-in skies or make other drastic changes to
the original negative.
" Some years ago I took up portrait photo¬
graphy in a small way among my friends, and
devoted the proceeds to the funds of the Royal
National Lifeboat Institution, as I happen to be
the honorary secretary of the Bude branch of this
splendid service. In the last twelve years, by this
means, my camera has earned over £100 for the
lifeboat cause. I venture to suggest that other
amateur photographers who have some pet cause
or charity which they desire to help might turn
their hobby to practical account in a similar
manner.”

PICTURES of the WEEK
Some Critical Comments Be^nners’ prints reproduced on
Opposite page.
OF the six examples reproduced
on the opposite page, three
appear to have been obtained
with the connivance of the models and
three without. The first set have
been posed and prepared beforehand,
and the second are the result of
selection, the subjects being unaware
of the process of being taken.
Spontaneity and Choice.
All of them have a certain human
interest, either as portraits or figure
studies, and, while those that are
posed betray the fact, it is not done in
such a way that it becomes unpleas¬
antly obvious, or so that camera-
consciousness is suggested.
Neither are they without a measure
of spontaneity, but it is not the same
thing as the spontaneity of those
that have been taken without the
knowledge of the subjects; and, in a
general sort of way, those examples
which are posed might be said to have
an advantage over the others in
arrangement, and an absence of certain
technical defects, while the remainder,
being unposed, exhibit a greater
degree of naturalness and are more
spontaneous.
No. I, “ Portrait,” by R. K. Pib-
bury, for example, does what it sets
out to do quite well. Presumably, it
is a good likeness — and that is the
first function of a portrait— while, at
the same time, it has a jolliness about
it that makes it attractive to people
who do not know the sitter.
Insomuch, it is good, and no less
excellent is the way the head is posed,
and the way both camera-conscious¬
ness and self-consciousness have been
avoided. On the other side, the head
is somewhat large for the picture
space ; there is a certain amount of
distortion consequent upon the prox¬
imity of the camera to the sitter ; and
the lighting, if falling in the right
direction, occasions a measure of
harshness and lack of modelling
because it is rather too near.
Lighting and the Subject.
These are defects that arise from
inexperience. Their indication sug¬
gests the remedy, but, as far as the
lighting is concerned, not only should
it be placed at a greater distance,
but it would also be advantageous
if the source were diffused a little.
One thickness of muslin, tracing
paper, or other suitable material
should be quite enough, and its effect
would be seen in a higher degree of
roundness in the modelling. The edges
of the shadows, too, would not be so
abrupt, and, following upon the slight
dispersal of the illumination, the
shadow side of the face would get
just a shade more light and its contours
would be more finely displayed.
In this respect. No. 3, ‘‘ The Book,”
by J. Moore, is better, for the model¬
ling of the features is beautifully
retained. It is somewhat of a pity
that the child’s dress towards the
bottom of the picture is so light in
tone, and, while it is easy to be wise
after the event, the portrait would have
been incomparably better if a shade
of some sort had been interposed
between the light and the dress so as
to reserve the brightest light for the
face.
Posing and Arrangement.
Posing and arrangement are as good
in this instance as in the other, and,
if the former shows a greater joy in
life, the mood of childish absorption
here is no less intriguing in a different
way, and quite as interesting.
The perspective, on account of the
greater distance between sitter and
camera, is more natural, and the
absence of awareness of the process
of being photographed no less marked.
The setting is commendably plain,
and the work, regarded as a whole, is
distinctly promising. Somewhat
similar remarks are applicable, again,
to No. 6, " Eric,” by Lillian F. Thomas,
except with regard to the setting,
which unfortunately betrays the
method by which it was contrived.
The folds are rather a drawback,
and another thing that is not alto¬
gether satisfactory is the suggestion
of stiffness arising from the stretched -
out legs and the angle at which they
are seen. Had one been bent, it
' would have looked more comfortable,
and, consequently, would have been
more satisfying to contemplate. In
other respects — lighting, pose, and
arrangement — there is little to criti¬
cise, and the perspective seems free
from fault, but it is quite as clear
that neither of them is quite so
405
spontaneous and entirely natural as,
for instance. No. 2, “ Serious Busi¬
ness,” by J. Taylor.
Here there is no hint of posing, the
subjects are perfectly oblivious of
the camera, and they are caught in
that artless sort of way that simulates
art at its best.
Figure Studies and Portraits.
Their absorption in their play is
wonderfully well conveyed, and, in
this respect, the picture is as good as,
if not better than, any of the portraits.
It has the advantage over them in
spontaneity, but, because of the lack
of any control over them or their
setting, its arrangement can scarcely
reach the same level of achievement.
That the features of the children are
not shown, again, is a drawback; but,
when subjects are sought by selection,
it is obvious that they must be taken
as they occur, and, apart from a certain
choice in the time at which the
exposure is made, no other control
can be exercised.
Similarly with No. 4, ‘‘ Rub-a-Dub-
Dub,” by J. Stanley Sutcliffe, the
setting is not all that would be chosen
if it were under control, and the figures
themselves, while caught at quite a
fortunate moment, are neither dis¬
posed exactly as could be Wished nor
are their outlines as well defined as
they might be. They suffer through
the effect of movement being visible.
Movement of the subject is an ever¬
present difficulty when work out of
doors is being essayed, and, in this
respect, indoor work, where the co¬
operation of the model can be obtained,
has the advantage.
Nevertheless, a subject like No. 5,
‘‘ The Leisured Class,” by T. G.
Corkhill, is occasionally met with, and,
in a case of this kind, the lack of
animation in the waiting figures
enables them to be included without
fear of any blurring of the image
through movement. The arrangement,
here, rivals that of any of the more
considered portraits, and is very good
indeed in its class.
It could be wished, perhaps, that
the head of the farthermost figure
were visible, but, having regard to the
fact that three are included, the slight
defect is pardonable. ” Mentor.”

AUTUMN,” hy G. L. Hawkins.
A FEATURE of this picture, which
is considerably out of the com¬
mon, is the combination of t^vo
effects to form a single motive. There
is, in the first place, an effect of sun¬
shine, which is displayed upon the
tree boles, and, in the second, a
magnificently clouded sky takes almost
equal rank.
Effects in Combination.
It is but rarely that it is
possible to employ two such
effects in the one picture
without incurring the danger
of a division of interest ; but
it has been done in this in¬
stance, and unity appears to
be achieved partly by the
fact that both effects attain
their greatest power in fairly
close proximity, and partly
because the brilhance of the
light upon the tree trunk and
that shown by the cloud have
their origin in the same source
— the sun.
They are both manifesta¬
tions of the same light, and,
as will be seen, it is brightest
on the tree at (i), while in
the sky it reaches its maxi¬
mum at (2).
Naturally, therefore, the
centre of interest hes in this
vicinity. Its power of attrac¬
tion is enhanced by the fact
that at (i) the brilliance is
emphasised by the dark mark¬
ings on the free bole, and at
(2) by the dark tone of the
upper portion of the trunk,
the contrast afforded by the
darks stressing the brightness
of the lights.
So much is definite, and, while there
is no doubt about those points as the
centre of attraction, it is somewhat
curious to find that, contrary to the
usual form of composition customary
in subjects of the same or similar
character, the position of the points
in question does not coincide with
those formed by an intersection of
divisions of thirds.
A Departure from Convention.
The light on the tree (i) is well to
the left of and lower than the nearest
of the four points referred to, while
that of the cloud (2) is above and also
inchned towards the left-hand edge.
If the corresponding points on the
right-hand side were unoccupied, the
position of (i) and (2) would be near
enough to the points on the other
side to give, in conjunction with the
principality conferred by the hght
and shade, dommance as far as placmg
is concerned ; but the tree bole (3)
comes right across the two right-hand
intersecting points, and, moreover,
has an advantage both in respect of
scale and proximity.
Supposing it were possible for the
attraction of the two lights to be dis¬
regarded, the tree (3) would, by reason
of its placing, proximity and size,
be entitled to be regarded as the
principal item, and also as the centre
of interest.
It may be, and usually is, desirable
that the point emphasised by the light
and shade should also be enforced by
power of placing, but, here, it is not ; and
though the departure from convention
is obvious, it must be admitted that
the composition does not seem to
suffer. The fact of the matter is, of
course, that the pull of the lights,
accompanied, as they are, by darks
of a not inconsiderable depth, is quite
sufficient to outweigh any
ordinary attraction that might
be attributable to placing.
Nevertheless, although the
experiment has justified itself
in this particular instance, it
would not be wise to assume
that it could be repeated with
equal success on every occa¬
sion, for it would only need
but a touch more brightness
in the tree trunk {3) to upset
the balance entirely. Its sub¬
dued tone, despite its stronger
position, prevents it from
competing with the tree (i)
for dominance ; but, if it had
either an appreciably greater
weight, or were much lighter,
a feeling of disunity would
arise.
Liberty and Licence.
That feeling would be occa¬
sioned by the too-near equiva¬
lence of the two points of
attraction, and as the print
stands it represents the maxi¬
mum liberty that could be
taken without degenerating
into licence. The balance of
the two points, now, is just
about right, and while the
arrangement shows that the
conventions of traditional
composition can at times be success¬
fully disregarded, a very nice adjust¬
ment is needed if the departure is to be
justified.
Its accomplishment, now that it has
been done, confers a degree of origin¬
ality upon the work. It is undeniably
successful, and, though its production
would probably be more instinctive
than arising from calculated analysis,
it reflects most favourably on its
author’s vision and creative power.
It conveys an impression of bigness
and of seeing things in an impressive
sort of way. " Mentor.”

AT
NIGHT
A London Nocturne.
HOTOGRAPHY
By GEO. A. SLIGHT.
Night scenes specially lend themselves to dis¬
play as lantern, slides. These subjects, when
projected on the screen, appear much more
luminous than when seen in the form of prints.
OF all the branches of photography available, none is quite
so fascinating as photography at night. At such a time,
one finds ample scope for the practice of artistic arrange¬
ment, and for the patience that must eventually be acquired
by the amateur who has the wish to advance in our hobby.
A beginner in night work is generally inclined to be dis¬
couraged by rain, or the thought that his lens is not of the fast
and expensive variety. This makes no difference in the securing
of good night photographs.
The first attempt should be .staged at a fairly tjuiet, well-
lit spot. Three negatives should be taken of the same subject,
doubling the exposure each time.
In these hard times, this may seem an excessive display of
affluence. Rest assured that this is not so, for from these trial
exposures the would-be nocturnal photographer will learn more
than from a whole book on the theory of the subject. How' to
obtain the best results is largely a matter of experience.
As a guide to first attempts 1 show here two pictures. No. i,
" A London Nocturne,” was given 12 seconds at f/^.b. The
other, ” 2 a.m.,” was exposed for 30 seconds at f/6. Both were
on backed panchromatic plates. For a smaller aperture lens,
these exposures could have been lengthened. For ultra-rapid
pan. plates they would have been much less.
Do not wait for a display of flood-lighting. The usual street
” 2 a.m.” '
lighting will at most times be quite sufficient to make really
beautiful pictures, and will look more natural.
Having made the exposures, the next inevitable step is
development of the negatives. For night scenes it has been
my experience that a very dilute developer works wonders.
A tank is very useful. By sufficient dilution, a half-hour
or longer can be taken over the process. Negatives thus
obtained — allowingfor reasonably correct
exposure — are nicely graded, and with
the lamps clearly defined.
The lamps in the illustrations are
very conspicuous. 1 would not advocate
their inclusion so prominently in first
efforts, for the wet pavements, if present,
will be found to be very luminous, and
the reflections may be overlooked.
Be patient with moving traffic lights.
Although, as for interiors and other long
exposures, it makes no difference when
people pass in front of the camera, it
will ruin a night picture to have white
streamers across it.
Referring once again to the illustra¬
tions, it will be noticed that in one case
use has been made of the puddles ; in
the other, the shadows cast by the lamps
have made the foreground interest.
The foreground is important. Half,
or maybe more, of the picture space is
occupied by it. Here, a wet pavement
or roadway wdll amply repay one for
braving the elements.
Regarding composition. What better test for composition
could be found than a night study in the rain ? Lamps,
shadows, reflections, puddles and wet roads, all added to
the picture in one fine orgy of composition.
The fascination of night photography is unquestionable,
and well worth a trial. Very few such studies are seen on
exhibition walls, so it has the advantage of not being overdone.

Jetters to the Editor
The Editor is not responsible for
the opinions of his correspondents.
SPOTTING AND RETOUCHING LANTERN SLIDES.
Sir, — May I offer a useful tip to makers of lantern slides.
How often one sees a good slide comparatively spoilt by the
presence of pinholes and blemishes. Were it not for these
the making of lantern slides would be quite simple ; but
retouching is a matter of extraordinary difficulty because no
retouching medium will take evenly on the gelatine coating.
After some experimenting I have hit on a better method
than heretofore, which may be novel to some of your readers.
Naturally, the most important step is to obtain as clean a
negative as possible, but even the best attempts at cleanliness
are too often marred by annoying pinholes and other defects
which must be eradicated before the slide is made.
Some retouching medium must be used if the job is to .be
done satisfactorily, but ordinary retouching varnish is not
satisfactory because it is almost impossible to coat part or
the whole of the surface evenly and without leaving streaks
which will be greatly magnified on the screen.
The same difficulties apply to the lantern plate, for where
pinholes have been filled in on the negative there are almost
bound to be corresponding lighter spots on the slide and also
a streaky effect due to the use of retouching varnish.
My tip is to pour sufficient alcohol (I use surgical spirit) into
a dish to cover the plate and add to it approximately half a
teaspoonful of retouching varnish (I use Johnson’s). Well
mix and let the dish stand for a few minutes to allow all dust
and deposit to settle ; now take your negative or lantern plate
and after carefully dusting with a soft camel-hair brush hold
it with the film downwards and immerse the film surface in
the alcohol and varnish for a minute, then give it a flick to
remove superfluous liquid, and place at once with one corner
downwards in a plate rack and leave to dry hard.
The film side will be found to have a perfectly even and
almost imperceptible coating of retouching varnish, quite
sufficient to allow of retouching with pencil or paint.
Clean the back of the plate with spirit and cotton-wool, then,
on a retouching desk, use for the lighter coloured defects an
H or an HB pencil sharpened to a needle point, and for those
light spots in a dark background a very fine paint-brush and
lampblack with raw umber water-colour to match the colour
of the slide. The brush must be charged with the correct depth
of colour, and then almost dried on blotting-paper, and the
point only, consisting practically of one hair, used with a
stippling or cross-hatch effect.
Naturally, the retouching of the negative will require very
great care so that there will be the minimum of the more
difficult retouching on the lantern plate to be done. — Yours,
etc., _ HAROLD F. BASSANO.
SIZE OF EXHIBITION PRINTS.
Sir, — May I suggest that the value of mere size is much less
than generally supposed. What painters call “ bigness ” is a
property entirely independent of size. Some of Turner’s small
drawings, not more than about one inch by two, were monu¬
mental in effect.
My experience in submitting prints for exhibitions for just
over a year has been as follows : I have sent to fourteen exhi¬
bitions and only on one occasion have all the prints been
rejected. I have had forty-eight prints shown. No print
has been larger than half-plate.
Kindly allow me to sign myself — Yours, etc.,
_ " GUM-BICHROMATE.”
HOW CAN WE ADVANCE ?
Sir, — Little did I think that I should be letting my
typewriter have the pleasure of writing a letter to you again so
soon ; but I do so in the hope that the way may be opened for
further discussion upon the above vexed question.
Of course, when offering advice it is vitally necessary to
know to whom one is speaking. So for the purpose of this
letter I shall divide my remarks into three sections — for the
" Beginner,” the " Intermediate,” and (heaven help me !) the
"Advanced ” worker. I commence without further preamble:
What is required of the beginner ?
Now, how many beginners adequately realise the importance
of exposure in their advancement ? So in answer to the ques¬
tion " What is required of the beginner ? ” I would suggest that
the first thing undoubtedly should be correct exposure ; in
fact, I consider the question of exposure to be so important
that I should require only one other thing from a beginner —
cleanliness in his work. For if a beginner can master that all-
important lesson of correct exposure ; and if he can then turn out
well-graded black-and-white prints ; and if he has learned
tidily to mount his little prints — no matter what value pic-
torially — I am of the opinion that he can then (but not till then)
call himself an intermediate worker.
But how many of us can do even that ? For to do so not
only calls for detail in the shadows and high-lights of the
negative, but the detail repeated in the positive. It also means
an unthumbed and perfect mount.
If everyone were to test himself in the above points —
well, I think we should be very surprised to find how many
beginners there are amongst the advanced workers !
Next comes the intermediate worker. What is required of him ?
Now, when a worker has trained himself to turn out a nicely-
graded and tidily-mounted print, and can repeatedly do so at
will, he can next — without having to bother about the effect
of solutions upon his sensitive material — think about the better
arrangement of his pictures. In other words, he can give some
thought to composition, the arrangement of lines, etc. But
being able to btiild a picture is not sufficient to class him an
advanced worker ; more would be needed than that. He
would also need to be able to spot-out pinholes ; to use (say)
megilp and oil colour to suppress unwanted high lights, and —
well, here’s a list of what, in my opinion, is the least he should
know. The first three items are, of course, carried over from
the beginner’s stage.
(a) Correct exposure of negative.
(b) Fully-graded black-and-white printing.
(c) Perfectly clean mounting.
(d) Good knowledge of composition.
(e) Negative spotting.
(/) Enlarging. (Including shading and over-printing.)
(g) Print retouching.
In other words, a perfect groundwork of what usually goes
under the name of technique.
And when the worker can do all the above things — when he
can do all the above things — well, he may then forget the lot !
But he will not be ab/e to forget ; and, remembering these things
without effort, he will then be in that happy position (or is it ?)
of being able to call himself an advanced worker. He can
start to create pictures with msthetic value : romance, mystery,
story — photographs plus imagination.
Call it sloppy sentimentality if you like ; but in my opinion
if an advanced worker does not try to weave some sort of
mystery, romance or story into his pictures — or something
that is not there for everyone to see — then he is not truly
picture-making, but still recording facts. And a machine
could do that. — Yours, etc., GEO. A. SLIGHT.
(Hon. Gen. Sec., the Photographic Miniature Postal Portfolio.)
DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — A word of warning and appreciation of the Agfa
developing tank. This is, I think, the perfect tank, but it
needs great care in use, as after cleaning it may be put together
in several wrong ways.
Also I find it dangerous to the film to try to wash it in the
tank, but the real purpose of this letter is to point out that
this make of tank will not serve for any film having paper
attached to the loose end.
In an emergency I was obliged to use a film from a slot
machine. On putting it into my tank and drawing out the
backing paper, the film came out as well.
Moral : avoid using a make of film with which you are
unfamiliar.— Yours, etc., E. KENNETH ROBINS.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINfi APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Lighting for Beginners in Amateur
Cinematography R. H. ALDER.
F/3.5 is the largest aperture on nine-
tenths of sub-standard cine
cameras in use. The owners re¬
gard artificial-light work as impossible
— they have seen production stills of
Elstree showing huge banks of lamps,
auxiliary spots and floods, thick
cables, and electricians in shirt sleeves
on account of the heat.
All this light for superb taking
objectives and the best negative stock
that money can buy ! The amateur,
humbled, resigns himself to exteriors.
He need not. Thefe is an antique
principle, called the law of inverse
squares, which comes to his rescue.
Twenty thousand watts at twenty
feet give no more light intensity
than eight hundred watts at four
feet. Eight hundred watts is not a
lot of power— not even enough for a
good electric fire.
What Power ?
To the question, “ How many
watts ? ” the answer cannot be given
in a simple formula. It depends on
the results required. But we can
say with confidence that work can
be done with 60^2 watts in half-watt
lamps and 25^2 watts with photo¬
floods, where d is the distance in feet
between the lamps and the main
point of interest.
This is not an extravagant allow¬
ance ; it is the minimum, and it pre¬
sumes the use of large reflectors that
keep all the light in the set. Further,
it does not allow for special effects ;
spots and strong top or back lights
are regarded as extras. But it is
enough to make a good impression on
super-pan. film.
The disposition of lights, reflectors
and camera is important. The set
should be surrounded with reflectors — -
white or silvered screens — with little
spaces through which the camera lens
can peep. “ Cheating” the reflectors
is an art to be studied carefully.
Two lamps of different power must
be regarded as the minimum. The
direct light should fall from top side
and top front. Too much front light
makes the shot flat and uninteresting ;
the side light must relatively be
stronger so as to giv'e good modelling.
If it is too strong the shadows become
harsh in spite of the reflectors.
Miniature Tests.
The embryo camera-man may make
some amazingly useful experiments
without exposing a single frame.
Take a couple of electric torches and
stick tissue-paper diffusers on their
lenses. Borrow a small wax doll as a
model and stand a couple of sheets of
double foolscap on edge as reflectors.
In a dim light arrange these on the
table top as a miniature set. Prop up
the more powerful torch on a pile of
books so that its light falls at an
angle of 45 degrees on the model,
and then try the effect of moving the
reflectors and of placing the second
torch.
It is no exaggeration to say that
an hour so spent will give more real
knowledge than a week’s reading of
textbooks on lighting !
Reflector Effects.
Remarkable effects can be obtained
by using a large mirror as one of the
reflectors. The result is not that of
the recognised cross-lighting so often
used in studio close shots, but comes
very near to it. Care is exercised
to see that the reflected beam covers
the required depth — nothing is so
disconcerting as to have an actor
walk out of the light.
Another point for attention is the
illumination of the background. It is
fatally easy, when changing camera
angle, to shift a reflector and halve
the amount of light falling on the
back of the set.
Two accessories are absolutely

torches many lessons in practical lighting for amateur cine work can be learnt.

necessary : an exposure meter and a
notebook. Records of the arrangement
and meter reading for each shot are
invaluable when planning future
scenarios. Stability is the great
virtue of artificial light ; conditions
can always be repeated.
For this reason the first reel may
well be treated a^s experimental. By
deliberately trying for certain effects
and comparing the results with what
was expected the camera-man can
ensure that there will be no “ re¬
takes ” in the future.
It is Worth White.
The family man may perhaps
wonder whether a few close and
medium shots are worth so much
trouble. After having everything
under the sun as his field he feels
cramped by the limitations of arti¬
ficial light.
Those who have tried unhesitatingly
answer “ Yes ! ” Nothing depicts the
family so faithfully as a series of
close-ups of its members at their
indoor occupations.
Further, the limitations are more
apparent than real. You cannot shoot
a ballroom, but the essence of a home
dance is shown by (a) father winding
the gramophone and changing the
record, (b) George asking Nina to
dance, (c) twinkling toes as they pass
the corner which holds the lamps,
reflectors and tilted camera.
And, when Christmas is coming,
there is the bringing in of the tree,
its trimming, the nailing up of deco¬
rations, the making of the pudding
and a thousand other things that are
really “ Home.”
An Inexpensive Editing Bench — How to make and use it
* at home By SIGURD MOIR.
Editing benches vary very much in kind and in, capability.
The professional benches are most elaborate affairs, and
in the present instance I have not overlooked one or two
of their labour-saving features. Other benches — especially
those of the rough-and-ready " home-made ” type — are
sometimes inefficient and disappointing ; so perhaps the less
we have to do with them the better.
Cost and Efficiency.
The editing bench described and illustrated upon this page
is both inexpensive and highly efficient. It can be made at
home and at a small cost. Naturally, the device must be
adapted to the gauge of film usually employed by the con¬
structor ; and, although the instructions and measurements
which follow are particularly applicable to i6-mm, practice,
little trouble will be experienced in adapting the apparatus to
deal with other sizes.
Construction.
Dimensions for the baseboard are somewhat arbitrary,
but an over-all size of 30 X 6 (inches) will be found to facilitate

polished. After this a pencilled line should be inscribed cen¬
trally down the full length on the underside of the board.
Two simple blocks, each 6 in. long, should next be cut from
1 X I in. material. After smoothing and polishing, these
should be affixed centrally and near the extreme ends of the
board, retaining wood-screws being applied from the bottom
at points previously determined along the pencilled line.
Upon these blocks must be mounted a couple of grindstone
gearings (obtainable from Woolworth’s multiple stores at a
cost of sixpence each). To facilitate secure fitting, it will be
found necessary to cut off the attachment arms so that only
the angle spurs remain attached to the grinder gears ; after
this, a couple of supplementary holes may be drilled through
these spurs in order to permit of a ii»?ally stable attachment.
When fixing, both handles must face the front of the device,
as shown in the accompanying illustration.
The Viewer.
The illuminated film-viewer must be arranged and fixed
midway between the two geared rewinds already attached.
This viewer consists simply of an inexpensive lamp centred
within a plain shading device — made by taking a couple of
pieces of thin batten (each 2\ in. square) and connecting the
two as shown with a piece of the same material 7 in. long and
ij in. wide.
The arrangement shown permits of viewing film frames over
the top of the device whilst permitting sufficient light to escape
from the lower slot during the operation of splicing. Before
attaching the viewer, however, a batten-type lamp-holder
should be centrally affixed to the inside of the right-hand
support.
(Both this and the low-wattage (opal) economy lamp can
be purchased from Woolworth’s stores at a cost of sixpence each.)
Finally, the splicer itself should be screwed down at the
front centre of the board as shown. In all cases, the construc¬
tor’s existing splicer can be used ; but where none is at present
possessed it is advisable to purchase one of the Kodak new
models. These are, in my opinion, the finest and speediest
splicers now obtainable. But where it is impossible to afford
more than a quarter of the price of this, I consider the latest
model of the Agfa firm to be a good alternative.
(Note. — i6-mm. spools cannot be immediately attached to
the spindles of the geared rewinds as bought. The necessary
squared attachment can be made and fitted by any amateur
mechanically inclined ; but an equally efficient and non¬
slipping friction grip can be obtained by covering the cylindrical
spindles with short pieces of rubber (stout) tubing. — S. M.)

MEWS AND REVIEWS
X ^ ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
The Fourth Annual Supper Dance,
arranged by the Staff of Wallace Heaton
Ltd., and a.ssociated companies, will be
held at the Portman Rooms, Baker
Street, W. 1,011 Saturday, 24th November,
from 7.30 to 12. In conjunction with
this there will be an exhibition of win¬
ning prints from the various staff
photographic monthly competitions,
which will be judged by the Editor of
The Amateur Photographev. These
supper dances are always very jolly
affairs, and any readers who would care
to attend may obtain tickets, price 5s.,
including refreshments, from Mr. H. S.
Newcombe, at 119, New Bond Street,
W.i.
The next Scottish National Salon, the
twenty-seventh of the series, will be held
in the Art Galleries, Ayr, from April 20th
to May 4th, 1935. Receiving date for
pictures from overseas is March 23rd.
Entry forms are now ready and are
obtainable from the Hon. Salon Secre¬
tary, Mr. A. J. Nelson, 6, Hilary Crescent,
Ayr, Scotland.
The award list in the Film Competition
run in connection with the Exhibition of
Cinematography at the Royal Photo¬
graphic Society has just been issued.
Plaques have been awarded to John
Chear in Class I (9.5 -mm.), and to
G. H. F. Higginson in Class II (i6-mm.).
The 1935 edition of the “ Wellcome ”
Photographic Exposure Calculator,
Handbook and Diary has just been
published. The contents of the book
have again been revised, the exposure
and development factor tables having
been brought up to date. These factors
enable the amateur photographer to
ascertain the exposure required for
any one of the multitude of films and
plates now available, and about which
the makers offer little or no data for
use and to develop them correctly.
A section is devoted to miniature camera
technique, and the cine worker, too, is
not forgotten, nor the direct colour
worker, for whom special articles and
instructions are provided. There are, in
addition, the usual diary features and
exposure notebook pages. It is an in¬
valuable little volume that every photo¬
grapher should possess. It is obtainable
from all dealers, price is. 6d.
A booklet that will appeal to every
amateur photographer at the present
time has just been issued by Kodak, Ltd.
It is entitled " Picture -Making at Night,”
and shows by means of a series of well-
chosen illustrations a variety of indoor
subjects that can be taken easily at
night by artificial illumination. In¬
formative diagrams and other data are
given to aid the beginner, and the entire
booklet' is admirably produced. It will
be sent free to any reader of " The A.P.”
on application to Kodak, Ltd., Kingsway,
London, W.C.2.

ta 6 CIHEMATOQRAPHER o
^Deader^ Questions
ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photop'apher
and Cinematographer ^ Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions imist be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamned wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enc)uiries and Criticism. — .\dvice. Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
fi) See “ General ” above. {2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
for criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) .\U envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query " or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptl> with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies' is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Bright Lights in Print.
What is the reason for the black spots in the
centres of the bright lights in the enclosed print ?
W. M. G. (Chester.)
The black spot in the middle of the
light is quite a common phenomenon,
and is due to reversal of the image in
that part owing to the great power of
the light and the long exposure. A touch
of opaque pigment on the negative
with a fine brush would put matters
right.
Competition Prints.
Are 3,t X zj Prints eligible for competition entries,
including the daily Press ? Has the surface of the
print any bearing upon selection by the judges ?
S. F. Q. (London.)
There is no reason why you should
not send 3^ x 2^ prints in to competi¬
tions, unless a larger size js specified,
but they are rather at a disadvantage
where most of the entries are of much
greater size. The best kind of surface
for the print depends upftn the character
of the competition, and there is no
general rule about it at all.
View of Bus.
In an illustration to one of the Beginners' articles
is a bus which has driving seat and platform on
the wrong sides. The view should be of the near
side, and I cannot imagine how the hidden side
could possibly be photographed. Would you
enhghten me ? D. H. G. (Lee.)
The view of the omnibus to which you
refer is actually the near side, and you
have evidently not thought of the very
simple explanation that this happens
to be a one-way street, and that is why
the bus is on what would otherwise be
its off side.
Reversal.
Can you suggest a method of remedying partial
reversal in a negative ?
N. W. E. B. (PerranweU.)
There is no remedy for partial reversal
in a negative.
Development Time.
What sort of subjects should have, respectively,
longer, shorter, or normal development time ?
How can any such difference be made when
developing roll film ? J. C. C. (Kenya.)
You may decrease the development
time when the subject is one with great
contrasts of light and shade, but it is
necessary that in this case the subject
should have been exposed for the shadows
and not for the high-lights. The develop¬
ment time may be increased when the
subject itself is lacking in contrast, and
you wish to get as bright a result as
possible. In other cases normal de¬
velopment is correct. In the case of
negatives on roll film the only method
of differential developing is to cut the
film up into sections after the images
are visible, and then give each section
whatever time you think appropriate.
Gum Bichromate.
Can you tell me of a good book on the gum-bichro¬
mate process ? C. P. F. (Johannesburg.)
We have been looking into the matter,
and cannot find any book now in print
on the gum-bichromate process. In the
“ Dictionary of Photography,” however,
published by Messrs. Ilifie at 8s. post
free, you will find the process dealt with
in a complete manner, running to eight
pages with several cross-references.
Reddish Tones.
I wish to tone some photographs a reddish brown,
but am told uranium does not give permanent
results. Is this so ? H. R. (St. Helens.)
If uranium’ is properly used the results
are reasonably permanent, but by no
means so satisfactory as those obtained
by sulphide toning. As a rule, reddish
browns are considered objectionable
for photographs, but if you wish to
obtain them we think the best method
would be to employ the Carbro process,
although this is a somewhat roundabout
method of producing what you want.
416
Cotton-wool for Colouring.
What is the method of tinting photographs with
cotton-wool ? Can it be used for photo-tints
instead of brushes ? E. J. M. (Portishead.)
Cotton- wool is often used for smoothing
down oil-pigment colours or pastels on
photographs, but you cannot use it for
the dyes you have. These must be
applied with a brush in the usual manner.
Masking Enlargement.
In controlling exposure when enlarging land and
sky subjects what method do you suggest for
avoiding the usual white margin between land
and sky ? F. L. G. (Barcelona.)
The only practical method of doing
what you require is to cut a mask
roughly to suit the skyline of the land¬
scape, and to keep it moving during
exposure. With some negatives this
is easy ; with others it is difficult or
impossible to avoid showing what has
been done. A good deal depends, too,
on whether you wish to strengthen
an existing sky, or to introduce one
from another negative. This is the sort
of thing that can only be satisfactorily
learnt from practical demonstration by
a skilled hand.
Postcards Curling.
I have been making some picture postcards, but
they crinkle and curl when dry. How can I
remedy this ? R. T. McG. (Horsham.)
We do not understand what you mean
by the postcards crinkling, but they
naturally curl when dry. Professional
firms prevent this by passing them
through a drying machine, which is an
expensive affair. All the amatetir can
do is to draw the cards under a ruler in
the familiar way to take out the principal
curl, and then put a pile of the cards
under heavy pressure for some days.
Distorted Image.
In the enclosed print by a friend of mine you will
see that the lines in the middle of the subject are
upright, but there is pronounced leaning towards
the edges. My friend says he always holds the
camera level, and yet gets these curious results.
Can you explain the mystery ?
R. D. (Cape Town.)
There is no mystery whatever about
the print you send. The result is
simply the familiar one due to tilting
the camera upwards. If you had a
row of vertical posts, those in the middle
would in the circumstances be more or
less upright, and it would be the outer
ones that would show increasing con¬
vergence. Your friend is mistaken in
supposing that he held the camera level.
Value of Stops.
I have a Goerz lens on which the stops are marked
4.6, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96. Is this the U.S. method,
or are they f/ numbers ? J. G. C. (Lincoln.)
The stops on your lens are given
according to the Stolze system, and the
corresponding f/ numbers are 6.8, 7.7,
1 1, 16, 22 and 32 respectively.
Repairs.
Will you give me the name of a firm who will
repair the shutter spring of a rather valuable
camera ? W. C. F. H. (Stalbridge.)'
It is against our practice to recom¬
mend one firm in preference to others
doing similar -work. You will find re¬
pairers who advertise in our columns,
and you will be quite safe in entrusting
the work to any one of them you fancy.

This is a book for photographic beginners, and,
if carefully studied, it will enable the novice
with a camera to get a greater proportion of
successful photographs than would usually be
the case.
“ Photography Made Easy ” should be read by
everyone taking up photography : it should
form as much a part of the outfit as the camera
itself : it is an ideal present to give an amateur
photographer.

London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods tor sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
lor cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

SUPER IKONTl
The Super Ikonta, while possessing the ever-ready features of the well-known Ikonta, has
an extra device for correct focussing . . . THIS IS THE DISTANCE METER.
Whether the subject is 5 ft. or 50 ft. away from the camera it presents no difficulty to
the user of the SUPER IKONTA, as the distance meter by the simple rotation of a knob
gets the correct distance, and at the same time sets the lens to that distance.
This eliminates guessing the distance and ensures you beforehand that you will get good
pictures, because they will be sharp.

The amateur cinematographer
should naturally take every
opportunity of seeing the
films of his fellow workers, but he
should also study the films shown
at cinemas. If he wears his con¬
sidering cap he will see much that
he might well emulate, and much
also that he should carefullv avoid.
Two recent hlms come to our mind
at the moment. “ Man of Aran ”
is an example of what can be done
without professional performers. No
amateur can hope to approach such
a record of an epic struggle ot a
brave and primitive community, or
to secure such a sequence ot stupen¬
dous sea pictures ; hut the him
carries a valuable suggestion ot
humbler possibilities. The other
him was an object-lesson in tech¬
nique — in the use of panchromatic
material and suitable filters. The
rendering of incidents in a trip to
the Mediterranean, Greece, Palestine
and Egypt was so superb in tone
values that one forgave the fact that
the whole him was an advertisement
of a well-known beverage.
The Stranger in our Midst.
A iroteworthy feature of London
this summer has been the number
of foreign tourists carrying cameras.
Every second person who has stepped
out of the motor coaches carrying
the conducted parties to the galleries
and museums seems to have carried
*a camera, and to have proceeded
forthwith to use it energetically.
Is it a mere individual observation,
or does it exemplify a national trait
that Germans as a rule are more
hasty with the camera than our¬
selves ? Those we have seen appear
to spend next to no time in com¬
position. They never trouble to
pose the little groups they like to
take in the Corinthian porticos of
Rocks at Torquay.
An article on Rocky Shore Photography

our institutions, and the exposure
has been made and the camera is
back in its case before the ladies of
the party have had time to straighten
their skirts. Often the result must
be the cruel bisecting of a figure or
its elimination altogether. We know
indeed of one German youth, staying
for a time in an English household,
and casting an affectionate eye
upon the daughter, who has gravely
imperilled his chances because, in
taking a family group in the garden,
the mother is represented ordy by
fine shoulder and a length of arm.
The Noise a Camera Makes.
Test match cricket, which is apt
to be as dull as the proverbial
alderman, was brightened up con¬
siderably at the Oval by the war
of the cameramen, which was not
only more bitter than the war
between the test teams, but had a
push and go about it from which the
friends and critics of the M.C.C.
might learn much. On the next
occasion the photographic battle
ought to occupy the centre of the
field and draw the spectators, with a
few interludes of cricket in the
background. What rather amused
us was the endeavour on the part
of those who had the photographic
rights to enlist the sporting public
in a hunt for pirates, and the in¬
formation that the noise of a hidden
camera was like that of a sewing
machine. Perhaps not all the men
attending a cricket match are fam¬
iliar with the purr of the Singer.
But as concealment is often neces¬
sary, alilce with the still and the
movie camera, and the sound has to
be concealed as well as the shape,
we are surprised that no one so
far has invented the entirely sound¬
less instrument. If soundlessness is
out of the question, surely in these

days of miracles in physics some
device could be found for disguising
the note of the camera, so that it
resembled the twitter of a bird, or
the distant lowing of cattle, or the
sough of wind in the trees, or a
motor horn, or a few bars by a
crooner.
Whistler Again.
The Whistler centenary exhibition,
which has been open during July
and August at the Victoria and
Albert Museum, has revived interest
in one of the two great etchers of all
time, the other being Rembrandt.
In Whistler’s copper plates there is
an exquisite delicac}^ This etcher
and dry-pointer — for that is what
he was even more than a worker in
colour — has many useful lessons to
teach photographers, especially in
the simplicity of the materials
which he used in order to get his
effects. His doctrine that a good
arrangement of simple masses pro¬
vides the most important features
of a picture, and that attention to,
tone values ensures serenity, is one
that photographers would do well
to lay to heart. Perhaps they have
more to learn from Whistler with
his middle-key paintings and his
prevailing greys than from any
other modern painter. The litho¬
graphs in the exhibition were mostly
produced after 1887, by which time
lithographic transfer-paper had been
much improved.
Mapping from Above.
We have been interested in study¬
ing the map of New York in the
shape of an official photograph by
the U.S. Army Air Corps made at
an altitude of 26,300 ft., or only
3,000 ft. below the height of Everest,
and more than twenty times the
height of New York’s tallest sky¬
scraper. It is a single picture, apd
covers the country far beyond the
confines of New York City, yet
the remarkable thing is the detail,
which is discernible — Brooklyn'
Bridge quite clearly, the lake in
Central Park, the avenues of Man¬
hattan, like tautly strung piano
wires, all the bridges across the
East River and the Hudson, the
landing stages in New York Harbour,
even the vessels out at sea. In time
we shall no doubt -see ‘’all haaps made
in this fashion, and the old type of
map with its conventions for rivers
qnd mountains will be a curiosity
Death of G, E. Brovv^n.
At the moment of going to press
we have received the sad news of
the death of George E. Brown,
Editor of our contemporary, the
“ British Journal of Photography.”
This announcement will be read
with the greatest regret by Mr.
Brown’s many friends in the
photographic world. We will refer
to our late colleague again next
week .

Readers’ Problems ^ _ .
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Casket Lenses.
I have acquired a case containing some separate lenses,
with one iris mount into which they can he screwed. i hey
seem to be of good quality and well mounted, but there are
no directions how to use them. Moreover, the apertures
are numbered only i, 2, 3, etc. Can you give me a hint or
two as to how to set to work, and particularly how to decide
the fl numbers ? E. L. (Beccles.)
Such casket sets of lenses were more in use in the days
of the stand camera than they are to-day, but with a field
camera having considerable variation in extension you
will find your set serviceable. The particulars you give are
too vague to enable us to do more than speak on general
lines. As a rule the name of the makers appeared on the
case or the mount, and each lens was given a distinguishing
number, or marked with its focal length.
You must first find the focal length of each single lens.
Screw the flange to the front of the camera. Take one of
the lenses and screw it into the back of the mount, so that
the diaphragm is in front of it. Focus a very distant object
sharply, and measure the distance from the lens to the
focussing screen at right angles to the screen. If there is
no mark of any kind on the mount of the lens, make one
yourself, and note down its focal length. Do the same
with each lens.
It is likely that you have in the case an extension tube
which screws into the mount ; and if so this may have to
be added to the mount for the longer focus single lenses,
so as to bring the stop into a suitable position. Each of
these single lenses can be used alone as a “ landscape ”
lens, but you must find out by experiment what size of
plate each one will cover.
The next step is to find out what lenses can be made by
all possible combinations of the singles. These doublet
lenses will be “ rectilinears,” and one of them may have
a comparatively short focus for the plate it will cover, in
which case it will be a " wide-angle ” rectilinear.
A simple formula will help you to work out the focal
length resulting from the combination of any two singles.
If you call the focal length of one of the lenses A, and the
focal length of the other B, and let S stand for their separa¬
tion — i.e., the distance of one lens from the other in the
mount — ^the formula is :
AxB
A-fB-S
Suppose you screw an 8-in. lens into one end of the
mount, and a 6-in. lens into the other, and they are 2 in.
apart, the focus of the combination will be ;
8x6 48 .
- = — = 4 in.
8-|-6 — 2 12
In some cases you can increase the separation by means
of the extension tube, and so slightly increase the focal
length.
To find the f/ value of each stop for the different lenses
the following will be sufficiently accurate. Rule on paper
a line exactly equal to the focal length. Set the points of
a pair of dividers to the diameter of the stop, and see how
many times this distance is contained in the line drawn.
This will give the f/ number.
We hope one day to give some information as to the use
of such sets of lenses, with illustrations showing the result
of using different focal lengths.

EVELOPING
Holiday Exposures
Holiday exposures differ from those made at home in quantity, and in the
fact that the subjects cannot be repeated. In this note some hints are given
as to the best way of dealing with a large number of exposed plates or films .
Most photographers return
from their annual holiday
with a large number of
exposed plates or films awaiting
development. There is considerable
pleasure to be had in finishing the
exposures made upon holiday, from
which it may be anticipated that a
considerable proportion will ma¬
terialise into negatives suited for
enlargement, slide-making, or the
production of exhibition prints dur¬
ing the autumn and winter months.
It is safe to say that many holiday
exposures are spoiled, or result in
negatives of indifferent cjuality
through the photographer’s natural
desire to see the results cjuickly.
It is the custom also to use small
sizes, and to malce a larger number
of exposures. The smaller sizes
need greater care in development,
and the photographer who is dealing
with larger numbers of negatives
than he is familiar with should be
on his guard against a possible cause
of indifferent results, if not actually
of failure.
Limit the Number.
The photographer who is used to
handling half a dozen plates, the
contents of a film pack, or one or
two spools at the most at one time,
should not exceed this number.
It is easy to develop plate after
plate, and film after film, but if the
photographer has not the equipment
to deal with large numbers, fixing
and washing are not effectively done,
with the result that the negatives
will not be permanent.
The natural desire to see the
results should be curbed, and a
decision made to limit the number
of exposures to be dealt with at any
one time.
Solutions.
In order that exposures which
cannot be replaced shall net be
jeopardised the photographer should
develop in the manner with which
he is familiar. In other words, no
experiments should be contemplated,
either with methods of development
or developers.
A start should be made with
freshly prepared solutions. A liberal
Joy of Life.
A typical Holiday snapshot.
amount of fixing solution should be
prepared so that overworking this
bath, with the crop of evils which
will inevitably follow, may be
avoided. Freshly prepared deve¬
loper is also indicated for the photo¬
grapher who makes up his own, while
if the developer is purchased in the
prepared form, the same solution
should not be used for more than
one spool of film, or more than two
plates. Any attempt at economy
will be regretted if negatives of
irreplaceable subjects are spoiled.
Proofing.
After all the negatives have been
developed, it is a good plan to sort
them into two or three groups,
according to contrast, and to make
a print from each. This idea of
sorting the negatives in this way is
that when printing upon gaslight or
bromide paper one grade of paper
can be employed for all the negatives
in the group.
In the case of small negatives
it is a good plan to make a set of
enlargements of half-plate size, which
may be used as “ pilot ” prints
with a view to the photographer
finding out the possibilities of each
negative. Every negative should
be printed in this wa}", and especially
if the photographer is unfamiliar
with the type of subject. It is very
easy in such cases to be misled by
mere inspection.
These preliminary prints will serve
another useful purpose. They will
indicate the presence of pinholes
and other technical defects which
require attention. Some results will
also suggest the advisability of
intensification, reduction, or other
modification in some cases. All
such work can be carried out so that
the negatives are ready for future use.
Lastly, most photographers will
have made promises of prints to
those who may have helped to make
the best of subjects by advice. Often
the good intention to send the
promised print is not carried out.
If this is attended to early the photo¬
grapher will not be in danger of
forgetting to do so, while those who
receive the prints will have them
while the interest of the subject is
still fresh in mind.

“The A.P.”
CURIOUSLY enough there was a slight falling off
in the number of entries in the advanced workers’
section for July. As a rule this is one of the
months which brings the largest number of prints.
The slight decrease in numbers was more than com¬
pensated by the high average excellence of the entries,
and the allotting of the awards was even more difficult
than usual. Both the intermediate and advanced
sections were very heavily supported, although we
regret to say that in the beginners’ section there was
again a considerable number of prints disqualified
through not observing the regulation as to size limit.
In fairness to other competitors these over-size prints
are automatically rejected. The awards are as follows :

A
Camera
By W. L. F. WASTELL.
Perranporth .
I HAVE been pleasing myself lately — and incidentally
others as well — by making selections of whole-
plate enlargements from sets of holiday negatives,
some of them taken several years ago. My latest
effort has been with some negatives made in Devon
and in Cornwall on successive holidays, and naturally I
came across a number of records of the rocky coasts of
these two lovely counties. Hence these notes.
It may seem strange to the up-to-date amateur that
I used quarter-plates on both trips, and as the negatives
are in the original bo.xes I am able to say that the
Devonshire batch were on Wellington Anti-Screen,
marked 300 H. and D., and the Cornwall lot on Barnet
Super-speed Matt Ortho, with the then remarkable speed
of 550 H. and D. The latter, I remember, w'ere supple¬
mented by 3^X2-} roll films. These were used in a
folding camera, but the plates
were all exposed in a quarter-plate
.Soho reflex, fitted with a 6-in.
Homocentric and a 12-in. Telecentric.
Altogether I must have something
like 350 negatives of these two
holidays, and looking at them I
doubt if I could improve on them
to-day, except in some cases where
panchromatic material would have
been an advantage.
These bits of rocky coast scenery
make, I think, very interesting and
varied records. They are all-llu'-
year-round subjects. Very often
sun.shine is an advantage, 'giving
good modelling to the rocks, and
effective contrasts of light and
shade ; but with many of the finest
of these subjects stormy skies and rough seas provide
the best conditions.

SHORES
West country coasts abound in dark rocks, mostly
basaltic, and have a very different effect from the chalk
cliffs found elsewhere. A strong treatment is generally
required, but at the same time the modelling and struc¬
ture of the rocks must be sufficiently well indicated.
Such a familiar subject as the rock arch at Perranporth
is none too easy. Too often the dark rocks are rendered
as a solid black silhouette, with halation blotting out
the outlines of the opening and eliminating all tone in
the bright peep beyrind. As usual with such contrast
subjects, the secret of success is sufficiently full e.xposure
and curtailed development.
It is often an advantage to include figures to give' an
idea of scale, as in the cliff steps at Perranporth. It
is unfortunate however, in the case of Anstey’s Cove
Torbay.
that some of the figures
are perched on the fore¬
ground rocks, giving them
unnatural points. Another
misfortune is that in trim¬
ming the block of Torbay
the sea-line has been canted ;
it is level enough in the
negative.
There is a good deal of
manoeuvring with this class
of work to find a viewpoint,
for this varies considerably
according to the subject and
the particular effect re¬
quired. The very nature of
the coast generally makes
it po.ssible to work either

The climbing often required makes a heavy and bulkv

actual object. This is clear, for example, in the chimney
stack, and the point of the gable in Fig. i. Further
examination of less salient points will show that the law
applies throughout. In Fig. 2 the camera was not level,
and the “ drawing ” is consequently incorrect. With
most landscape subjects it is not important that the camera
shall be level, but when there are reflections of formal
lines, such as those of a building-, we must be cautious.
Fig. I shows the famous Flatford Bridge before restora¬
tion. There were holes in the footway through which a
man could plop into the water below. I made several
records of the bridge at different times, and this one is the
worst. It is ruined by the reflections, and 1 am showing it
as a warning. The fact is that reflections may make the
subject too confused and complicated. This particular
view would have been first-rate as a stereoscopic subject,
and the realism would have been striking. On the flat,
as it is, there is too much confusion, although a one-eyed
view of the original print pulls it together considerably, as
usual.
In Fig. 2 the reflection is not so troublesome. It is
more subdued, and the surface of the water is broken by
the weeds. It was too much broken, because there were
detached fragments of weed everywhere. I have spotted
these out in the right-hand half, where there were some
250 of them, but such work is not worth while unless the
subject is a good one, and then it would require the making
There are two important reasons why we should
keep an eye on reflections when we are out with a
camera. The first reason is that they may be the
making of the picture ; and the second is that they may
spoil it.
When there is a heavy fall of rain in London — which
there often is, in spite of the drought yarns — every Press
photographer in Fleet Street rushes out and takes photo¬
graphs of something or somebody reflected in the water.
This is the regulation thing to do, and they do it ; and
very interesting some of the results are.
Perhaps you saw one the other day — a reflection of the
top of the clock tower at We.stminster. The art editors
swallowed it at sight, although it contained a glaring
blunder. To provide the “ human interest ” which art
editors demand, the photographer had got a young lady
to stand at the side of the puddle, and look straight down
into it, as though enthralled by the perfection of the
reflection of the clock. The point is that she could not
possibly see anything of the sort from where she was
standing ; and the photographer and all his customers
overlooked the most elementary and fundamental law of
reflections, and made a ridiculous blunder.
Such reflections in water are the kind of thing that most
concerns the photographer, and it is a glaringly obvious fact
that a reflection depends on the relative positions of the
observer, the object, and the reflecting surfaces. It
follows that any change of viewpoint results in a change in
the reflections, and this should be remembered when photo¬
graphing a subject in which reflections play an important
part.
If the camera is perfectly level any given point in a
reflection will be vertically under the same point in the

of a new negative from the modified
print. The point to note here, how¬
ever, is that reflections, as a rule,
should no'f be a mirror-like repetition
of the ol)jects. Repetition is often
useful in pictures, but it must not be
duplication. The reflection should be
less assertive than the actual objects.
All the three subjects were within a
few yards of each other, and the view
of the mill as seen in Fig. 3 shows a
pleasing form of reflection. The sur¬
face of the water is rippled, and the
reflections are thereby .so broken that
they repeat only vaguely the objects
that cause them. This is as it should
be. Sometimes the water surface is
so broken that reflections may dis¬
appear almost or quite completely.
Moving water never gives exact
duplication, nor does water when its
surface is ruffled by wind. The advice
often given to break the surface of still
water by throwing a stone or other
heavy object into it is not always good.
The ripples formed radiate from the
spot where the object fell, and so
betray their origin.
All these points, and several others,
emphasise the necessity for watching
reflections when photographing. Many
effective pictures have resulted from
i-i-g- 3-
using reflections only, in which case charm to the reflections of clouds,
additional care is needed. Other pic- often of clouds outside the actual
tiires have owed a good deal of their picture space. W. L. F. W.
AS OTHERS SEE US
photograph should seem wrong ;
this is, that when we look at a photo¬
graph w’e are seeing ourselves as
other people see us, and not as we
see ourselves.
\\'hen looking into a mirror we
see ourselves reversed from side to
side, and the result is not our true
selves. Our faces are not sym¬
metrical ; the left side is not like
the right, the left eye is different
from the right, and so on.
Obvious characteristics, such as
a wart on one side of the nose, are
easily noticed, but invariably the
result of reversing the photograph
is a new person which most people
who know the subject would recog¬
nise as “ different.” This is due to
the numerous small differences on
each side of the face.
The second illustration is a re-
\'ersed version of the first, and was
made, of course, by reversing the
negative when printing, so as to get
the plain side in contact^ith the
paper. A casual inspecuon will
suggest two different photographs,
but the details will be found to be
identical. There are, of course, cases
in which reversal is inadvisable.

Photographers wishing to try this
curious effect can easily do so as
suggested, and can try the experiment
with a person well known to their
friends. In the present instance, all
recognised the first as being more
‘‘ lifelike,” while the subject himself
w^ould approve of the second, as being
what he is used to seeing in the mirror.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
I EXPERIENCE three emotions in photography :
first pressing the button, secondly gazing at the
developed plate, and lastly viewing the print from
the depths of the waste-paper basket. The subjects I
like are landscapes, bits and corners of old buildings and
streets, and young children. The latter I think I have
photographed most.
" I try to visualise how the finished picture will look in
monochrome, and I find it a great help. I use only Ilford
S.G. pan. plates, backed, quarter-plate size. Development
is carried out in total darkness by the time and temperature
method, in conjunction with a table I have worked out to
suit my own requirements.
“ I work in bromide, chloro-bromide and bromoil — the
last process I like most of all for the pleasure it gives in
pigmenting, and as a means of expression. I do not
usually go beyond the removing of blemishes and small
portions of the picture, and darkening or other modifications
where necessary.
" I use an Adams’ quarter-plate reflex camera, to
which I have fitted a lens -hood of my own make,
which fits over the entire front of the camera and
extends outwards for eight or nine inches. This is
very necessary, as almost without exception I
photograph into the sun, especially with children,
and a deep hood enables me to point the camera
almost into the direct path of the sun rays with
impunity.
“ For child studies I prefer to work indoors with
the model between the window and the camera, but
the latter pointing slightly to the right, in order to
use a wall as a background. The lens used in
these cases is a Dallmeyer 17-in. Telephoto f/5.6,
and when used at full aperture causes the wall to be
so out of focus that it makes an admirable back¬
ground. The child usually sits on the bed, and the
light reflected from the white bedclothes, bathed
in morning sunshine, sufficiently lights up the
shadow side. It only remains then to wait until
the model is still and — then wait. The exposure
must be adequate, i/8th of a second at full aperture,
without a filter, yieldmg a fine negative.
■' I do not do much afterwork on the negative,
although I ‘have tried many methods. 1 find
Frictol ’ very useful for rubbing down areas which
have too much deposit, and comparatively easy to
work if plenty of time is taken ; and, in conjunction
with bromoil, the amount of control possible by
this method is more than necessary.
I strive all the time to capture some mood of
nature, and do not worry so much about the material
or the composition, although, of course, I do not
ignore the latter, but endeavour to make a picture ;
and gradually the art of seeing well is becoming no
longer an effort. In conclusion, 1 would like to pay
tribute to the invaluable aid given me by the Ilford
Photographic Society, and my advice to those who
wish to succeed in photography is, ' Join your

Some Critical Comments
on the Beginners’ prints reproduced on
the opposite page.
Departures from the normal
point of view usually provide an
interest above the average, for,
apart from anything else, the choice
of such a viewpoint betrays an in¬
quisitive turn of mind, which, if it
does not always succeed, does, never¬
theless, stand more chance of making
a mark than a slavish adherence to
the conventional.
Ancient and Modern.
It might be said, perhaps, that
departures of this nature distinguish
the modern way of looking at things
from those of the past, and that
Nos. 3 and 5 of the prints reproduced
on the opposite page — “Chillon from
Above,” by P. T. Yonge, and ” Roman
Baths,” by Mrs. D. Hall — disclose a
tendency towards the former of the
two classes.
They are, in any event, uncon¬
ventional in that aspect of the subjects
they represent, the first in according
an emphasis to the roofs of the castle,
and the second in its extreme length of
foreground. Neither subject is shown
as it is usually seen. Instead, the
line of sight is directed downwards,
and an uncommon impression of the
scene is shown in each case. ” Chil¬
lon,” however, seems to suffer not a
little from the scale in which the castle
is shown. The viewpoint is rather too
near ; too little of the vertical walls
are included ; the subject appears to
be rather cramped and lacking in
stability in consequence, and the
subject seems to have been taken the
wrong way of the plate. It would
make a better vertical than a hori¬
zontal picture, and, though it has a
certain novelty, does not quite succeed
in getting across.
With No. 5, the case is different.
The long foreground is justified by
the pleasing nature of the reflections,
and by the fact that they are made to
serve as an important adjunct to the
pictorial motive.
Picture Proportions.
Actually, the centre of interest lies
in the two broken columns in light
towards the left-hand top, and the
motive, for once in a way, is heightened
in value by the duplication _of the
principal item.
In one sense, the columns and their
reflections might be regarded as a
single element, for their relationship is
obvious, and their connection well
established.
The repetition of the other columns,
while not competitive, lends a feeling
of design to the arrangerqent, and,
altogether, the work shows promise
to a not inconsiderable degree.
At the same time, and though the
choice of an abnormal viewpoint has
achieved success in this particular
instance, it would scarcely be wise to
pursue the uncommon simply because
it is not usually done. Such a course,
besides having limitations, would tend
towards eccentricity and, eventually,
unintelligibility. The unusual is only
justified if it provides a new aspect
to beauty in some form or other, and
it is better to seek to render beauty,
whether, in so doing, the unusual is
incorporated as well, than to search
for no\'elty for the sake of novelty.
It may well be imagined that, when
the subject of No. 5 was first seen,
the sunlight on the pillars and their
reflections inspired the exposure, and,
to avoid the competition of the sky
and to express the attraction of the
sunshine and water to the utmost
possible extent, the unusual proportion
of foreground was decided upon.
A Question of Motive.
The line of sight would therefore
be directed downwards, and, if it were
chosen with such a motive, it is well
justified and sound in its sincerity.
If, on the other hand, the downward
viewpoint were adopted as an end in
itself, and the inclusion of the effect
were more or less accidental, the
intention was insincere, although the
end be the same.
That it is not necessary for any
abnormal point of view to be sought
in order to achieve a really pleasing
picture is shown by No. i, ” Ex
Cathedra," by L. P. Friendship, where
the effect of the sunshine is delight¬
fully rendered and the viewpoint is
that which convention would dictate.
The feeling of light, it is true, might
be stressed by the introduction of an
appropriate figure in the centre arch¬
way, but the choice of any but a level
viewpoint could only have the result
of impairing the appeal.
201
It is quite likely that the rising
front was brought into action, but this
scarcely amounts to altering the
direction of view. Rather does it
remain simply a matter of adjusting
the portion of the subject required so
that it fits the available picture space.
The Rising Front.
In this it is most useful, and, in all
probability. No. 4, ” Corner of Old
Lynn,” by R. Guest, provides another
example of its employment.
The proportions of this picture are
very well judged, but, had the lens
been centrally placed, it is likely that
there would have been an excess of
foreground instead of just a sufficiency
as at present. The effect of atmos¬
pheric sunshine, too, is very pleasingly
rendered, and, in this instance, the
fortunate presence of a figure stresses
the feeling of light enormously.
Possibly the pose of that figure is not
all that could be desired, but it does
serve to give the picture point and
emphasis, and, moreover, to provide an
indication of what is needed in No. i.
In comparison, and though it attains
an equal technical level. No. 2, “ After
the Harvest,” by David V. Sims, seems
somewhat lacking in interest, for, while
it would make an effective setting for
a group, its Innate appeal is slight.
On the other hand. No. 6, ” A Quiet
Corner,” by A. W. Kirkwood, has a
considerably greater attraction as far
as the setting is concerned, and it is
graced with a figure as well.
Figures as Features.
The setting alone, with the sunlight
on it, would have a certain appeal,
but the effect is rather widespread and
would lose in point on that account.
The figure serves as a localising in¬
fluence and concentrates the interest.
It makes the brightest note of any
significance in the whole scheme, and,
because of its brightness, the sunshine
is endowed with value and vitality.
It tells with excellent effect, but,
all the same, a little more shadow on
both right- and left-hand margins
would make it stronger, and, had it
been found possible for the figure to
have been caught looking towards
the camera instead of away, the
effect, as a whole, would have been
finer still. " Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“SMALLER CRAFT,” hy C. Peters.
The effect of a culminating point
of light as a factor in concen¬
trating the interest, to which
reference was made on the preceding
page, is further demonstrated in this
picture, for, although the arrange¬
ment of line and mass is satisfactory
enough, there would be little to attract
and hold the attention without the
light which strikes the folded sail
at (i).
The Dominating Light.
If the effect of the picture
without that light can be
visualised, it will readily be
appreciated how slight its
interest would be. The
shapes of the boats would,
perhaps, lend a suggestion of
form and there might be
some appeal arising from the
light on the water, but it is
questionable if it would be
sufficient to lend any real
pictorial attraction.
The interest, too, would be
somewhat scattered, and
scarcely more than topical
in character; but, with the
light on the sail, the case is
altogether different. The
sunlight is endowed with
life and force ; the point of
light has the effect of pulling
the whole composition to¬
gether, and the work is
endowed with an aesthetic
appeal. It is all the greater
on account of the sombre¬
ness of the setting, and the
fact that the light is strongly
placed is a further factor
emphasising its dominance.
With the centre of interest in the
upper portion of the picture, it might
be considered that there is some justi¬
fication for the length of the fore¬
ground, for a certain suggestion of
novelty seems to arise from that
placing, it being more usual for one of
the lower four points formed by a
division of thirds, vertically and hori¬
zontally, to be chosen in a subject of
this class.
The presence of the overhanging
stern of the vessel on the left does
seem to afford a further reason, for,
with so great a mass, a measure of
space below appears advisable, or.
otherwise, its weight might be too
great for the picture.
Mass and Stability.
Space is needful in order that there
may be an adequate sense of stability,
but, apart from this particular point,
it is questionable if the degree of
novelty is sufficient to warrant the
departure from convention, for, al¬
though the water is diversified a
little, it is scarcely enough to j ustify
its retention, nor would the appeal
of the picture, as a whole, be impaired
were the portion below the dotted
line removed altogether.
If, on the other hand, the water had
been caught in a more placid mood,
and the reflections of the boats, their
mast? and rigging, and the irregu¬
larities of the setting, had provided a
wavy replica of the upper portion of
the subject — somewhat upon the lines
of No. 5 of the prints reviewed on the
preceding page — it is probable that
the picture would be better able to
carry the existing length of fore¬
ground. Such a state of affairs might,
however, involve a good deal of
waiting, for it only seems to occur
just about the turn of the tide, and
only then when the amount of wind
is negligible and insufficient to disturb
the surface.
Nevertheless, did it happen and
were it incorporated in the picture, the
present proportions would be rendered
perfectly acceptable ; but, as the work
stands, the conclusions are
forced upon us that, in the
first place, it would have
been wiser for the mass of
the vessel on the left to have
been omitted, and, in the
second, to have limited the
amount included to that por¬
tion above the dotted line.
A Distinction and a
Difference.
It further becomes evi¬
dent, upon continued study
of the print, that, despite the
undoubted dominance of the
point (i) as the centre of in¬
terest and its value in lending
an artistic appeal, the attrac¬
tion is inclined to the inteh
lectual rather than the emo¬
tional. In other words, the
subject has been treated in
a way which is aesthetically
sound, but which is not alto¬
gether convincing artistically,
for it is one that, of its
nature, seems to demand
some sign of human activity
to make it complete.
A distinction that would
make a great deal of differ¬
ence would be incorporated
by the inclusion of a figure in close
proximity to the light in question.
If it could be shown as the bright¬
est light, so much the better, but, even
if not, the touch of human interest,
which the subject seems to need,
would be provided, and the attraction
enhanced accordingly.
However, the securing of a figure
just where it is wanted is so much a
matter of chance that it is scarcely
fair to criticise the print on. account
of its absence. Nev'ertheless, it is
mentioned as an ideal to be achieved, «
and possibly, on another occasion,
fortune may be kinder. “ Mentor.”

basin. These discs are available in all
standard sizes. The inflow of water can
be so regulated that the basin will alter¬
nately fill and empty, or that the level
will remain constant. In any case, the
hypo-contaminated water is drawn off
from the bottom, as it should be. The
accessory is made by Messrs. Photric
Products, of 37, Albemarle Street,
London, W.i, and can be obtained from
photographic dealers at the reasonable
price of is. 6d.
We offer to those interested a last-
minute reminder that August 31st is
the closing date for entries to the
" Regent Exhibition of 1934.”
Many readers will welcome the news
that the Dufaycolor i6-mm. cin6 film
is now on sale at leading photographic
dealers. This attractive colour process
is the successful result of the continued
efforts of Messrs. Spicer-Dufay (British),
Ltd., who are to be congratulated on
their achievement. We hope to make
further reference to the film shortly.
In our issue of the 15th inst. we
recorded the finding of a camera on the
cliffs near Deal. It appears that it was
not lost, but stolen from a motor yacht
in Margate harbour, a sailing boat being
stolen at the same time, and afterwards
abandoned. The camera has been
restored to its owner, to the gratification
not only of himself but of the reader
who was courteous enough to notify
us of his find.
The .'Vutosiphon is an ingenious device,
simple and effective, for facilitating the
washing of negatives and prints in the
lavatory basin at home or abroad. It
is a bent vulcanite tube, one end of
which is inserted in a rubber disc which
replaces the ordinary plug in the
Lost. — A Cine-Kodak Eight, No.
38912, with f/1.9 lens was lost in a tube
train in London on August 13th. In¬
formation should be given to Messrs.
Sashalite, Ltd., 28, Victoria Street,
Westminster, S.W.i.
THE SUPER-SPORT CAMERA.
A CAMERA with a wide range in a small space has been
sent us for review by Messrs. Actina, Ltd., 29, Red
Lion Square, High Holborn, W.C.i. This is the
" Certo ” Super-Sport camera. It can be used as a spool
camera for sixteen exposures, 2^x ij in., on the usual 6X9 cm.
film, or for film packs and plate negatives 2jX2| in.
This camera, which is an ex¬
tremely well-made instrument of
metal, is of the automatic type
when opening, the outstanding
feature being the adjustable shut¬
ter for different sizes of pictures
from the same film.
It is fitted with a variety of
lenses ranging from the f/3.5
Trioplan anastigmat in Compur
shutter at £10, to the f/2.8 Zeiss
Tessar in Compur shutter at
6s. The camera is small and
compact, and has a metal body
with leather covering.
The focussing adjustment is a simple attachment to the
lens, and the release has been ingeniously duplicated for
convenience when holding the camera vertically or hori¬
zontally.
An illustrated leaflet dealing with the Super-Sport is
obtainable from the above address.
A NEW “ JUSTOPHOT.”
HE new pattern " Justophot” Exposure Meter (Drem
Products, 37, Bedford Street, Strand, W.C.2) has an
improved method for ascertaining the exposure re¬
quired. First it contains an automatic adjustment for
exposures with a filter — from two-times up to eight-times.
Then, even better still, it allows the instrument to be set
for different speeds of plates or films before the reading is taken,
instead of after
the reading has
been taken.
That is simpler
and more con¬
venient than
the older me¬
thod.
The direc¬
tions issued
with the new
model are perhaps better than the old-style directions. For¬
merly photographers using the “ Justophot” watched for the
moment of the extinction of the test figure. Now they are
told to start at zero and watch for the first trace of light that
makes the figure just discernible.
With a chromium finish to the barrel and the figures on the
rings clearer than ever on their white base, it looks the practical
tool that it is. The price is 35s., with 3s. 6d. extra for a sturdy
leather case.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINfi APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Editing Family Films R. H. ALDER.
Filling the Gap.
The first task is the mechanical one
of assembling the scenes in their
proper order. Then on projection it
may be discovered that the flow of
thought which appeared to be clear
in the scenario is not so pellucid when
translated into pictures. If so, the
editor cuts in shots to preserve con¬
tinuity. As a last resort he may insert
another sub-title, but that would be
a confession of weakness.
When these gaps are filled the
editor decides the precise points of xhe seasons bring different subjects for tt.e cine camera. Above is 'a reminder that
transition from one scene to the next. v "cubbing" is now in full swing.
A PROFESSIONAL film editor,
replying to an enquiry, said
that his job was to " make the
director’s ideas at least intelligible,
and — if possible — interesting.” But
he suffered from dyspepsia also.
Good editing is as necessary for a
family film as for any other. Readers
of these notes always, of course, start
each film with a black leader followed
by a title, and go through it cutting
out defective frames and patching
faulty sprocket holes. All splices are
clean and neat — in short, there is not
a single technical flaw.
Smooth Continuity.
Since a scenario was carefully
written and faithfully followed, the
stream of ideas has no sudden cascade
of discontinuity which causes the
audience to enquire what has happened
now. There is no need of an extem¬
pore running commentary to make
it clear that Elsie went from Gloucester
to London Ipy train and not by magic
carpet or wishing-cloak.
In fact, the spool can be lent to an
acquaintance to show to his family,
knowing that they will find it inter¬
esting as well as intelligible. Yes ?
That smooth intelligibility is what
the editor ensures. In personal films
it may be difiicult to achieve, but there
is the more joy in attainment. The
difficulty lies in the fact that the
amateur, especially the lone worker,
cannot afford several takes of the
same scene, consequently awkward
transitions must be glossed over by
after work.
Here again smoothness is his aim.
If, for instance, - there is a medium
shot of George lifting a glass of shandy¬
gaff, followed by a close-up of him
drinking, the })osition of the glass at
the beginning of the later shot blends
exactly with the position in the last
frame of the earlier shot.
This is where the editor must
be hard-hearted. There is a great
temptation to overlap. Similarly, at
the beginning and end of a sequence
one is apt to keep in just one or two
frames, regardless of the principle
that the first frame must be just
after action has begun, and not just
before. The distinguishing mark of
a work of art is ” slickness ” — all the
essentials must be there but nothing
more.
The Blue Pencil.
That ” nothing more ” is the sum¬
mation of the first part of the editor’s
function. The scenarist plans to include
all that makes a story, the director
translates into pictures, the editor
blue-pencils out all that does not
belong to the story.
The blue pencil, however, must be
wielded carefully. It is better to
pare off gradually as a joiner planes
than to slice off lumps as a carpenter
saws.
When at length the story is coherent
yet succinct the editor is free to
think of his finishing touches. Can
he introduce into the presentation
rhythms which will empha.sise the
moods of each chapter of the story ?
For instance, while Elsie is playing
with the dog, George is driving to
meet her. The scenarist set this out
as (i) a shot of Elsie and the dog,
(2) close shot of George driving, (3)
long shot of the car at speed, (4)
another shot of Elsie. The editor
decides that this wants speeding up.
He promptly cuts shots (3) and (4)
into two parts each and interleaves
them, so to speak.
20

August 29th, 1934
Willie, aged nine, in his Red Indian
head-dress, is stalking his big brother
George ; unfortunately, the shots of
Willie are too short and abrupt to
suggest the idea of stealthy tracking.
The editor cuts Willie in two and
interposes a shot of the cat stalking a
bird, using dissolves at the two joins
to maintain smooth transition.
The dissolve, the wipe-dissolve,
the simple cut, the slow and quick
fade are tools which the editor shares
with the scenarist. Some editors would
like to establish a strict convention as
to their use ; employing, for example,
the ordinary dissolve or mix to join
related ideas and the wipe-dissolve
to join episodes related only in time.
Slaves of Convention ?
The amateur editor would do well
to avoid slavish adoption of con¬
vention. He is the experimenter, and
should lead rather than follow. But
whatever he chooses to do must be
done with one purpose — to emphasise
the important details of the story, and
not to show off his tricks. Good
editing, like all good art, glorifies the
subject and conceals itself.
When the editor has finished, there
are two products — the film on the
I'fH! AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER

spool and the film left in the bag.
Don’t throw away what is left over ;
ticket each length, index it, and put
it away in numbered boxes. One of
those bits may prove useful — perhaps
as a flash-back in later years. At the
worst it can be blacked with shoe-
polish and used as a leader !
A Work of Art.
Editing grows on one. Intelligibility
and interest are its ends, but those ends
can be reached by many roads. The
film editor enjoys the thrills of the
explorer and the pride of the crafts¬
man — in other words, he is an artist.

With the approach of autumn thoughts turn towards lantern
lectures and cine shows. Readers are reminded, therefore, that
the Scottish Travel Association, of 2, North Charlotte Street,
Edinburgh, 2, maintains a library of i6-mm. films of Scottish
scenery and towns. These films are available on loan to film
societies and others, only the postage being charged. A list
may be had on application to the Association. The same
organisation is also prepared to lend sets of lantern slides,
accompanied by notes which form the basis of lectures
on Scotland or Scottish subjects. Both film library and
slide collections have been revised and increased since
last year, and, as the demand is likely to be heavy
during the winter months, it is advisable to book dates well
in advance.

IHI AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
ts 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
^T^eaders^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematographer, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible bandwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed, MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as ‘ How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. VVe endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroaJ
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
'c reach the enquirer.
Intensifying.
I wound a spool of film the wrong way round in
the tank for developing, and the result is that
there are clear strips of celluloid. I have used
chromium intensifier without effect. How can
I get any results from the film ?
D. L. (Woking.)
If we are to understand from your
letter that parts of your negatives are
clear celluloid, there is nothing whatever
you can do to remedy the trouble. An
intensifier will strengthen an existing
image, but it will not create one from
nothing.
Press Agencies.
Could you give me the name of a Press agency
which circulates free-lance news photographs ?
F. J. W, W. (Bingley.)
We have frequently quoted the names
of photographic Press agencies, but we
repeat a few of them herewith : Photo¬
press, Ltd., Johnson’s Court, London,
E.C.4 ; Central Press, Ltd., 119, Fleet
Street, E.C.4 > Photo Service Co., 124,
Bermondsey Street, S.E.i ; Associated
Press (Great Britain), Ltd., 2 and 3,
Hind Court, Fleet Street, E.C.4 > Key¬
stone View Co., 12, Wine Office Court
E.C.4 • Pla.net News, 3, Johnson’s Court,
E.C.4 : Sport and General Press Agency,
2 and 3, Gough Square. Fleet Street,
E.C.4.
Infra-red Photography.
I have become interested in infra-red photography .
Is it a process within the scope of an amateur ?
Is a book on the subject published ?
D. W. {London.)
You do not explain what it is you wish
to do with infra-red photography, as it is
not adapted for ordinary work. You
have to use the special plates and filter
supplied by Messrs. Ilford, who also
provide a good deal of information as
to procedure. A book dealing with the
subject is “ Infra-Red Photography,”
by S. O. Rawling, published by Messrs.
Blackie & Son, Ltd., at 3s. 6d. net.
Cin6 Enlargements.
Can a good positive cin6 frame be enlarged, say,
up to postcard size ? What plate is best ? What
outfit is necessary for the work ? V. P. (London.)
The question of enlarging from positive
cine film is not one that can be dealt with
in the form of a reply to a question.
We should strongly advise you to get
the book entitled ” Motion Pictures with
the Baby Cine,” by Harold B. Abbott,
obtainable from our publishers, price
2S. 8d. post free. The subject is there
dealt with quite fully enough to put you
on the right road.
Postal Clubs.
Can you give me the address of the nearest photo¬
graphic society ? Will you also give particulars of
a good class Postal Club ?
J. W. S. (Manningtree.)
We do not know of any photographic
society in your district. There are many
good postal clubs, but in most of them
we believe there is no room for further
members at present, although vacancies
occur from time to time. You will find
a complete list of such clubs in ” Photo¬
grams of the Year,” and your best plan
will be to get into communication with
some of the secretaries.
Colour of Prints.
I am a great admirer of the tones obtained by
photogravure, such as in the supplement to your
Jubilee Number, but cannot obtain these tones
myself. Can they be obtained by toning, and if
so, how ? D. W. R. F. (London.)
You must remember that the repro¬
ductions to which you refer are printed
in coloured ink, and it does not follow
that the exact colour could be repro¬
duced by photographic means. Similar
tones can be obtained on both bromide
and chloro-bromide papers, both by
development and by toning, but it is
naturally quite impossible for us to deal
with this wide subject in the form of a
reply to a question ; it would require a
small book to do the subject justice.

Borax Developer.
I think you once gave a pyro developer with
borax as an ingredient. Could you repeat it ?
W. A. B. (Droxford.)
M e have no recollection of giving a
pyro formula? with borax, as the latter
ingredient is almost invariably used with
M.Q. The following is a typical formula >
Metol . . . . . . . . 18 grs.
Sodium sulphite (anhydrous) 2 oz.
Hydroquinone . . . . 45 grs.
Borax . . . . . . . . 18 grs.
Water to . . . . . . 20 oz.
Paper Negatives.
Can you tell me of any method of treatment for
paper negatives to minimise the grain ?
W. R. (London.)
You are bound to get a certain amount
of grain with paper negatives, and many
workers use them in order to secure this.
As long as you treat the paper negative
by one of the methods for making it a^
translucent as possible there is nothing
more that can be done.
Lines on Negative.
Can you tell me what has caused the multitude of
fine lines on the film I send ?
H. H. G. (St. Helens.)
What are often called telegraph wires
on your negative are due to winding
the film while the camera is closed, in
which case the scratches are caused by
the bellows. If this is not the reason it
must be sought in the rollers, or some
other surface over which the film is
drawn.
Speed Numbers.
I have a Watkins meter, but the speed numbers on
it are not H. & D. How can I work.it ?
J. T. B. (Glasgow,)
With the exposure meter you should
have a speed card. This gives the
Watkins speed numbers of all the well-
known plates and films on the market,
and these are what you should go by
in using the meter.
Hypo Eliminator.
I find washing prints rather troublesome, and have
bought a bottle of hypo killer. It works all right,
but what is your opinion of hypo eliminators ?
" O. E. W. (Salford.)
We have over and over again dealt
with the question of hypo eliminators in
our columns, and have nothing to add
to what we have already said. You say
that the preparation you are using
works all right, but you do not say on
what grounds you have come to this
conclusion. In our opinion, if prints
are worth the trouble of making they
are worth the little extra trouble of
washing.
Stained Films.
I explain my method of developing. How can I
avoid getting the stain as on the enclosed film ?
R. H. G. (Brussels.) r
The stains on the film you send have
nothing whatever to do with the de¬
veloper. Most of these dyes disappear
when an acid-hypo bath isi used for
fixing, and any trace that may be left
vanishes during the final washing. In
some cases, however, it has been found
advisable, if any stain is still visible, to
put the films in water made just alkaline
with a little ammonia.

THE MISSING LINK
EXPOSURE ?
Every lens manufactured by a maker of repute is guaranteed to conform to the
standards laid down by the Royal Photographic Society governing equivalent lens
apertures. This definite factor is of little use unless we can measure with the same
degree of accuracy, the actual value of the light at the time of exposure.
Both the Ombrux and Blendux Photo-electric Exposure Meters measure correctly,
the light value under practically all conditions of lighting, and thereby supplying the
Missing Link in successful photography and cinematography,
OMBRUX for Photography.
Suitable for all makes and types of plates and films, 3 to 30° Scheiner, 10 to
4,000 H. & D. Shutter speeds from 30 to i/i,oooth sec. All makes and sizes

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R, L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinemato^apher,” and from the
compiaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange tor others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore ail such
offers from this quarter.

HAND
CAMERAS
By R. Child Bay ley
An outstandiag feature of this
book, which makes a special
appeal to all amateur photo¬
graphers, is a number of separately
printed plates, all from hand camera
negatives by the author. These' are
selected to show the very wide range
of subjects accessible to the snap-
shotter, from pure landscape to
tele-photographic portraiture.
Though primarily written for the
beginner, " Hand Cameras ” con¬
tains much of interest to the ad¬
vanced worker, and should be in the
working library of all who would
attain to the highest degree of
artistic excellence in their work.

“AGAINST-THE-LIGHT ” PICTURES
THE ZODEL COLLAPSIBLE
LENS HOOD
I (patent applied for) allow’s you to take
r pictures almost directly into the sun —
combining portability with light weight
and the greatest possible
measure of protection.
The Zodel hood has
three sliding sections
so designed that they
cannot chafe and wear
away the dead*black
lining which ensures ab¬
sence of reflection. An
adjustable rectangular
mask at the front ensures
tliat the cone of light
entering the camera is of such shape that internal bellow's
reflections are ahnost non-existent, resulting in greatly increased
brilliancy of negatives, while the adjustable sunshade-flap can
be actually set to cast a shadow over tlie inside of tlie liood fur
really exacting work.
Use a Zodel hood always. It measures less than an inch in
thickness (closed) and will go easily into your camera case.
Push-in filter-holders to carry standard It or in. circular
glass filters are available.

from extreme wide angle, l| in., to Telephoto lens of 7^-in. focal
length, and apertures from f/1.5 to f/8, are available for inter¬
changeable use with the Contax. All these Zeiss lenses are specially
constructed Contax lenses, and possess the maximum defining
powers, an indispensable quality with lenses fitted to miniature
cameras. The Contax here illustrated is fitted with Zeiss Sonnar f/2,
TEN ZEISS LENSES
MINIATURE CAMERA PERFECTION
the finest universal optical instrument known in miniature
photography. The definition is perfect, the rapidity ample
even for night photography, and the compact mounting
of the lens does not necessitate a collapsible mount, so it
is possible to claim for this combination an “ever-
readiness" which cannot be present when lenses in so-called
collapsible mounts are used.
The above picture is an enlargement from a Contax negative taken by
Mr. H. B. Burdekin, A.R.P.S.
Full particulars with our books. "The Connoisseur and the Contax,”
“The Ten Contax Lenses,” and “Accessories for Contax Photo¬
graphy,” will be sent free on request.

The Presenta Pocket Cine is unique — not
only does it allow you to project your films
without using the mains but you can actually
see them as well, in motion, or still, without
any artificial illuminant.
You, as a Cinematographer, will appreciate
what this means to you, especially
when you wish to edit the shots you have
taken.
Also, should you wish to show your friends
your pictures, being so compact you can slip
the P.P.C. in your pocket and do so in their
home, in the office — anywhere. Although
the P.P.C. is small, it is NOT a toy.

There is no need to speak at length of the
exceptional qualities of the SOHO PRECISION
Camera. Read this extract from a letter re¬
cently addressed to the London Camera Exchange
Co., Ltd., by an advanced amateur photographer:
“You may remember you recently
supplied a Soho ‘Precision’ Camera
to me, this is worth its weight in
platinum, and is producing as good
results as I formerly obtained with a
half-plate triple extension camera.’’
We could ask for no better confirmation of our
claim that the SOHO PRECISION possesses all
the advantages of a FIELD CAMERA and is in
addition as MOBILE AS A POCKET CAMERA.

for transmission in the l.EK.
There is nttle need nowadays
to emphasize the fact that
amateur photography is no
longer a seasonal hobby. Modern
films, plates, lenses and cameras
have rendered the keen worker
independent of sunny days for
snapshots. An increasing inclination
for greater knowledge of the subject,
coupled with the desire to make his
own prints, are factors that have
further encouraged every owner of
a camera to continue to use it all
the year round. The late autumn, in
particular, is an ideal period for the
purpose. Out of doors the light is
still strong, and with a quality of its
own that Ijeautifies the landscape,
which, in turn, is now more attrac¬
tive in colouring and atmosphere
than at any other season of the year.
Indoors, the urge to deal with
exposures made during summer holi¬
day time is strong with every
amateur, and those who have dark¬
rooms, or similar convenience for
developing, printing and enlarging,
are finding much to occupy their
attention.
Where the Societies Help.
A glance at the page devoted to
“ The Week’s Meetings ” in this and
every issue of “ The A.P.” will give
an indication of the current activities
of the British Photographic Societies.
The winter season is only just staiT-
ing, and it is a healthy sign that so
much interest in photographic mat¬
ters is kept going during the dull
months of the year. This is due
largely to the amateurs who evince a
continued desire for knowledge of
photographic practice. These have
increased enormously in numbers
during the past year, and we welcome
them to the ranks of serious photo¬
graphers who no longer depend on
the “ D. and P.” firms for their
A London Snapshot at Night.
This iimtsual viewpoint for the Thames
Embankment produces a most effective
result, and was obtained with a very
brief exposure on S.S. panchromatic film.
negatives and prints. The societies
and clubs are doing good work in
encouraging new members who are
novices, and helping them with
practical demonstrations and other
attentions. We, on our part, will
do all we can to help the societies in
this direction, and publish a re¬
minder of all fixtures if the details
are sent to us in good time. In the
meantime, any reader of “ The
A.P.” who is not already a member
of a photographic society should
hasten to join one ; he will not
regret it. We will send the address
of the nearest in his neighbourhood
if he will write us.
The Dark-room and Eyesight.
MTien working in a dim ruby light
which is relied upon to any great
e.xtent, there is a considerable strain
on the eyes. If touch is instead
made the guide, this will be pre¬
vented. Working in complete dark¬
ness is excellent practice for this.
■ Some have been afraid to adopt it
until panchromatic materials have
compelled them to do so, with the
result that they have found it easier
than depending on a dim light of
any kind. A dark green' light is
claimed by some to be kinder to
the eyes than ruby. Those who are
wedded to dish development, es¬
pecially by the factorial method, will
find desensitising has much to offer.
In a dim light it is sometimes very
difficult to see the first appearance
of the image, which is the essential
calculation by this method. Another
way in which dark-room work may
injure the eyesight is by too quick
a change from the dim light or
complete darkness to daylight or
even ordinary artificial light. Some
large firms now have their dark¬
rooms with the entrance at the
end of a long passage, so that on

coming out the change to daylight
is a gradual one. At home this
may well be imitated by drawing the
curtain across the window nearest
the dark-room, especially if there
is strong sunlight. Within the dark¬
room, also, this precaution should
be carried out. An immediate
change from ruby to ordinary arti¬
ficial light should be avoided. A
reader of “The A.P.” who has
considered the matter has perma¬
nently fitted up orange and yellow
lights for bromide and gaslight
printing respectively, and by switch¬
ing on the orange after the ruby,
and then the yellow, he finds the
strain on the eyes is minimised.
“ Next Slide, Please.”
The other evening we attended a
lantern lecture given to a large
audience in the West End of London,
when some quite excellent slides
were projected, but the mistake was
made throughout of keeping them
in the lantern far too long. The
lantemist, perched in a distant
gallery, never heard the lecturer’s
suggestion that some of the slides
might be passed through quickly,
and he rigidly adhered to the pre¬
arranged plan of giving every slide
exactly sixty seconds on the screen.
Sixty seconds can be an appalling
time in such circumstances. No¬
body knows who has not seen a
succession of slides changed at one-
minute intervals, what a boring pro¬
cess it was. To alleviate the general
tedium, however, the lantemist
kindly placed in front of his lantern
certain coloured glass which made
the slides go red and, like the
audience, blue. The time to keep
a slide on the screen must vary, of
course, with the interest of the
subject, but usually fifteen or twenty
seconds is quite long enough. It
must be remembered that everybody
nowadays is accustomed to the
cinematograph, and can assess the
necessary detail in a large projection
much more rapidly than could the
audiences of years ago.
“Pictures I Have Missed.”
An American journal is publishing
a series of articles on “ Pictures I
have missed.” They are fuU of
poignant revelation and regret. It
is invariably the best pictures of
all that have been missed. But it
occurs to us that a good caption
for the series would be Robbie
Burns’s “ Wife we never had.”

EVERY MONTH a brief exposure table will be provided for the assistance of our readers in their practical work. A glance at
the current approximate exposures as here given will serve as a reliable guide for most purposes. The subjects will be varied
to suit the time of year. The following exposures will serve as a working guide for any fine day during the month, between the
hours of 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, with the sun shining, but not necessarily on the subject. Stop used, f/8. The
exposure should be doubled if the sun is obscured, or if stop f/ii is used. For f/i6 give four times the exposure. For f/5.6
give half. From 8 to 10 a.m. or from 2 to 4 p.m., double these exposures. From 7 to 8 a.m. or from 4 to 5 p.m., treble them.

graphy and with more for enlarging his best negatives and making prints for exhibitions
and competitions, etc. The following notes will be useful to those workers who have not
yet acquired the skill and knowledge necessary to the production of a print of good quality.
During the winter months
the amateur photographer
finds himself with less
time for outdoor photo-
AN essential requirement of an
exhibition print is quality.
However good the pictoriaT
appeal, however good the composition,
if these matters are marred by im¬
perfect technique the print has no
chance of acceptance in any exhibition
of standing.
When printing on bromide paper,
there are three items, apart from the
fundamental necessity of a good
negative, which together control qual¬
ity, and these are the choice of a
suitable grade of paper, the correct
exposure of the paper, and its proper
development
These items, being under the control
of the individual, provide sources of
error and consequent poor quality,
although the technique involved is
sufficiently simple to be mastered at
once by the veriest novice.
The one thing that is fatal to good
quality is guess-p'ork, and since there is
no occasion for it there is no excuse
for it. The use of guess-work goes
hand in hand with all sorts of slipshod
habits that develop only too quickly
if carelessness is not checked from
the beginning.
Choice of Paper.
The choice of a suitable grade of
paper which will match the tone range
of the negative is a matter of the
greatest importance, and it is desirable
that prints should be, generally speak¬
ing, as brilliant as possible without
being hard. The grade of paper used
should be such that the print is of
the greatest contrast that can be
obtained without sacrifice of either
high-light or shadow detail.
Economy of material can be secured
by making use of exposure test pieces
so that they will give an indication
of the contrast of the print as well
as the exposure. This, of course, is
achieved by testing through such a
portion of the negative as contains
both high-light and shadow detail.
In estimating what is a satisfactory
degree of contrast in a print, or test
piece, it is better to consider the quality
of the high-lights and shadows rather
than the general appearance, particu¬
larly while the paper is still wet.
Exposure.
Most amateurs buy bromide paper
for enlarging in packets of six sheets,
and each packet contains only two
small pieces for test purposes. It will
prove an adequate method of dealing
with the temptation to dispense with
exposure tests, after the two pieces
provided have been used, if one of the
whole sheets be cut into small pieces.
Every worker should be able to
' make five good prints from different
negatives with one packet of paper ;
nobody can reasonably hope to make
six, and the effort to do so usually
means that several sheets of paper are
spoilt. It must be realised that
there is no latitude in bromide paper.
When making the test strips, the
exposure given to each successive
strip should be doubled so that the
series will run, 2, 4, 8, 16 seconds, 5,
10, 20, 40 seconds, and so on. This
can only be achieved by progressively
covering the test piece for each strip,
not by uncovering, a method often
advocated. Should it appear that the
correct exposure lies between two of
the times tested a further test should
be made. For instance, if 10 seconds
appears to be too short, and 20 seconds
too long, tests should be made at 12,
15, and 18 seconds.
Test pieces should always be fixed,
rinsed, and the surplus moisture
wiped off before being examined, and
the examination should be made in a
normal white light which fills the
room. It is useless to examine the
strips by the light from the back of
the enlarger or from the dark-room
lamp with the screen removed, so that
unless a white general light can be
switched on, the examination should
be made in another room.
Development.
The question of a suitable developer
is easily disposed of, since not only
are excellent formulae available for
those who prefer to make up their
own solutions, but several proprietary
ready-mixed developers are on the
market, and all may be said to give
perfect results. The best developer for
any make of paper is usually that
printed with the instructions.
Whatever developer is chosen, it
should be used at a somewhat stronger
degree of concentration than recom¬
mended. About 75 per cent of the
amount of water called for by the
formula or the maker’s instructions
should be used, and a drop of 10
per cent potassium bromide solution
should be added to each ounce of
mixed developer.
Much has been made of developing
a bromide print to finality or to some
fixed time, usually two minutes. It
is quite impossible to fix any exact
time when prints will generally have
received adequate development, if
only because the suitable time would
differ in different brands and grades
of paper. The method of developing
to finality, that is, for considerably
longer than is actually necessary, is
not to be recommended, because there
is a danger of fog and degradation of
delicate tones.
Factorial Development.
The use of the factorial system is
rapidh^ becoming recognised as the
one certain method of obtaining
accurate development times. A suit¬
able factor for a normal M.Q. de¬
veloper is 5, while that for amidol is
10, and the correct development time
is indicated, in the case of each print,
by multiplying the time taken for
the image to appear in the developer
by the factor proper to the developer.
Thus, when using M.O., if the image
appears in 20 seconds, development
will be complete after a total
development time of 100 seconds, and
similarly with other factors.
Need it be again emphasised that
the temperature of the developer
should not be allowed to fall below
65 degrees Fahr., particularly when
M.Q. is being used ?
After development the print should
be given a brief but thorough rinse in
clean water before being placed in
the fixing bath, which should always
be of the acid-hardening variety.
After fifteen minutes in this bath the
print should be placed in a further
bath of fresh, plain hypo for another
five minutes before the final thorough
washing. C. M.

subject under the particular lighting
conditions prevailing. (The Wellcome
exposure meter is a great help for this
purpose.) By dividing this exposure
approximately by 8 or 4 we obtain the
correct exposure for the “ two times ”
and “four times” filters, respectively,
when photographing sky and clouds.
An example will make this clear.
On an early November day, any time
between ii a.m. and i p.m., when the
sun is shining brightly, the exposure
for a normal subject, using Verichrome
or Selochrome film, is i/25th at f/ii.
Using the “ two times ” filter we
should give i/2ooth at f/ii, and with
the “four times” i/iooth at that
aperture for subjects similar to those
illustrated on tins page. The darker
the filter, the darker is the blue sky
rendered. Shortening the exposure
produces the same effect.
It might assist to mention that the
pvlon subject was taken with a
“ two times ” Agfa filter on Agfa
Isochrom film ; the telegraph pole
with a “ four times ” filter on the same
film. For the Cenotaph a “ four times ”
filter was used with Kodak Super Sen¬
sitive Panchromatic cut film. Ex¬
posures were calculated exactly as
indicated above, and this calculation
will answer in most cases.
By JOHN
AS soon as clouds are mentioned,
the average snapshotter comes
over panicky like a non-swim¬
mer who finds himself out of his depth.
He seems to have a fixed idea that
clouds can be introduced into photo¬
graphs only by experts who have
attained a degree of skill that is
far beyond his reach, and who have
at their disposal time and apparatus
such as he can never hope to possess.
It is a great pity that such notions
should be so general, if only becai.se
it means that thousands of amateur
photographers are turning out work
01 a lower standard of interest than
they need d(7.
If the illustrations herewith are
studied for a moment, it will be seen
that the}'^ are all of common enough
objects which, if taken, against a
bare skv, would have no claim to
beauty whatsoever. The cloud ef¬
fects, however, have invested them
with a dramatic interest that im¬
mediately raises them to a higher
standard of excellence.
The obtaining of these cloud effects
is all a matter of proper exposure and
the judicious use of filters. Again, the
novice must not get alarmed at the
word “ filters.” They are merely
pieces of specially coloured glass,
which are fixed or held in front of the

the CAMERA
The photographer w^ho wishes to make money from
his hobby, or at least to make it self-supporting,
will find some useful market tips in this feature.
Landscape, child, and animal photographs are
/ sought, for postcard reproduction, by Wilson Bros.,
Ltd., 80, Great Eastern Street, London, E.C.4. Pay¬
ment for accepted pictures is on acceptance.
Agricultural photographs are used as illustrations to a
feature dealing with farming and allied subjects in the
Daily Mail, and the market is worth bearing in mind.
A similar opening, for gardening photographs, exists in
the Daily Herald. Good payment is made for suitable
pictures of gardens. Photographs of small sections of
gardens appear to be in greater demand than general
views.
" Send us some of youi* snapshots,” invites Car Topics,
418-422, Strand, London, W.C.2. The rate paid is 5s. per
print, and overseas pictures as well as scenes in Great
Britain are used. It is not essential that the subjects
include a car.
Mr. W. X. Bethel, 166, West Van Buren, Chicago, Ill.,
U.S.A., states that he desires photographs of amusing
epitaphs. Snapshotters capable of taking clear pictures
are invited to write, ” as you may live near an epitaph I
want.” _
Good landscape pictures are used by Windsor Magazine,
Warwick House, Salisbury Square, London, E.C.4.
With the approach of winter, shop window displays are
assuming rather more importance, for artificial lighting
lends itself to the creation of some novel effects. Photo¬
graphs of such displays, if the subjects are original, are in
demand among the trade periodicals dealing with the trade
concerned.
If you have an acquaintance who has constructed some¬
thing novel or intricate in the model line, a likely market
for a photograph of the object is Hobbies Weekly, Dereham,
Norfolk.
Weekly Illustrated, a photogravure periodical launched a
short time ago, is using many photographs. All, however,
must be striking. Series in particular are favourably
considered. One such series depicted various phases in the
day’s work at a racehorse stable.
Pictorial Education, INIontague House, Russell Square,
London, S.W.i, is a magazine worth studying by photo¬
graphers who can supply pictures of the ” how it is done ”
type. Payment is good.
Another firm purchasing photographs for postcard
reproduction is Valentine A Sons, Ltd., Dimdee. They
particularly require close-up child portraits. Cat and dog
pictures are also in demand here.
Cycling, 5-15, Roseber}' Avenue, London, E.C.i, has a
” Tourists’ Page,” for which photographs are considered.
Pictures of quaint rural customs that cyclists might ride to
see are used, together with about 150 words of letterpress.
Contributions of this type, showing annual customs, should
be submitted well in advance of the date. Photographs
of curiosities seen by tourists are used on the same page.
A pair of pictures recently used, for instance, showed
curious gates.
If you know a friend who is skilled at some unusual
handicraft, and can obtain a photograph of some of the
work produced, a likely market is Modern Woman, 8— ii,
Southampton Street, London, W.C.2. A short MS.
describing the operations should accompany the photo¬
graphs.
Onr Own Magazine, 3-5, Wigmore Street, London, W.i,
uses animal and child portraits.
Photographs of interest to readers in the Midlands are
used by Birmingham Weekly Post, 6, Cannon Street,
Birmingham. A half-page picture of a Midland beauty-
spot is used frequently on the cover.
The question of a satisfactory mountant for prints is
always occurring to the amateur photographer, as
frequently, in fact, as it does to the office worker who
requires a good adhesive for various- purposes. A new moun¬
tant called " Fixol,” which has been put on the market b}'
Fixol & Stickphast, Ltd., 27 and 47, Garden Row, London,
S.E.i, seems to fulfil both conditions admir¬
ably. Primarily it is an extremely satisfactory
mountant in that it is very adhesive indeed
and is not too ” wet.” For this reason quite
small touches of it applied to the corners of a
photograph will hold even a fairly large
print very firmly. It is sufficiently fluid,
however, to brush evenly over a large surface
without lumps or other troubles from foreign
matter. These points are also in its favour
for office use, and the new aluminium con¬
tainer is particularly worthy of note. This
not only holds a considerable quantity of
the paste, and is equipped with a very efficient
brush fastened to the cover of the container,
but the paste is kept always near the top by
a patent rising base. This is pushed up from
time to time as the upper part of the paste in
the container is used. It is certainly one of
the cleanest mountants in use that we have
seen. The large size container with brush top and rising
base sells at is. 6d., and a smaller size in a different con¬
tainer with loose brush sells at gd. It is obtainable from all
photographic dealers and stationers, or direct from the above
address.
A POCKET cine projector that is really practical in use
and will either project a small picture, or can be used
as a viewing apparatus while a cine film is in motion
within the container is a definite attraction that will appeal
to a great number of readers who use 9.5-mm. films. When,
in addition, it is stated that this attractive article sells at
only 25s., we believe that it will have
very extensive sales during the Christ¬
mas period, and at all times as a
useful piece of apparatus as well as
an entertainment novelty. It is
called the ” Presenta ” Pocket Cine,
and is so small and light that it
can be held easily in one hand. When
it is opened a charger of 9.5-mm.
film is adjusted within and connected
with a winder. The film can then
be seen in motion by holding the
apparatus to the light, looking through
the sighting lens and winding the
film. For use as a projector an ordin¬
ary miniature electric light bulb is
fitted which works off an ordinary
4^- volt flashlamp battery. A brilliant
image on a small scale is then pro¬
jected but is sufficiently large to en¬
tertain a considerable number of people. The " Presenta ”
Pocket Cine is self-contained and is always ready both for
viewing, projection or for film editing. It is obtainable from
many dealers or direct from Presenta, Ltd., 74, Chiswell Street,
London, E.C.i,

Continent. Excellent action
pictures are just waiting to be
taken, but the photographer
must not get in the way. They
work in the open, and must be
the hardiest set of girls in the
country. It is advisable to
pick a bright morning, so that
the fastest shutter speed may
be employed. The speed at
which these girls work is
amazing, and nothing under
i/200th sec. should be used if
you want good action photo¬
graphs.
t I ^HE herring season at Lowestoft and Yarmouth,
I which takes place annually about October and
early November, gives the amateur photo¬
grapher great scope for picture-making of an
attractive action subject. This year there has been a
glut of fish, and many trawlers have been idle for days
at a time, but this cannot last and fine subjects are
generally available if a good day is selected.
Armed with a plentiful supply of plates or films, one
may have a real good time on the herring markets at
either port. Subjects are plentiful and interesting, and
with a little care and thought there is no reason why a good
“bag” should not be secured. Any reliable snapshot
camera can be used, and fast plates or films. During the
mornings, when most
of the work is done,
the light is generally
quite bright enough
for rapid exposures.

will be found the sturdy
drifters ploughing their
way to the harbour
from the herring-
grounds in the North
Sea. On a rough day,
vou will probably be

STANDARD PRINTS.
■ . H
All of us, especially during the
summer months, see large num¬
bers of prints, mostly holiday
snapshots, which our friends produce
for our inspection. Out come the
prints, from pockets, wallets and bags,
at home, in vehicles, and even in the
streets ; and they are examined, dis¬
cussed and explained (and incidentally
pawed about) with much liveliness.
This is very jolly (sometimes), and I
have no stone to fling at the practice.
At the same time, I think a good
deal of improvement is advisable and
possible. The vast majority of the
prints are of a standard, stereotyped
character ; highly glazed prints with
white margins, sometimes with
“ deckled ” edges, and often painfully
hard and contrasty. Occasionally we
find some of beautiful quality, on
matt or semi-matt paper, with har¬
monious tone values. The general
run, however, are of the kind that
result from the stock question at the
D. & P. counter — ‘‘ Develop and one ? ”
This means that the spools of film
will be developed automatically by
standardised methods, and that
from the whole of
each passable sec¬
tion a standard
print will be made.
In many cases the
work is skilfully
and judiciously
done — as well as
can be possible
when customers de¬
mand that it shall
be put through in
so short a time that
it cannot possibly
be adequate for
the best results.
The photographer
who uses a camera
only occasionally,
and at long inter¬
vals, does well to have his negatives
developed professionally, provided
he resorts only to capable firms. On
the whole the results will be much
better than he could obtain himself.
It is only the experienced worker who
can make the adjustments of exposure
and development that certain types of
subject make necessary.
When it comes to printing, however,
I think that the photographer 'should
learn to do his own, and that as soon
as possible he should organise enlarg¬
ing arrangements. I know this is no
light . and easy matter, but if he is
not sufficiently keen and energetic to
tackle something of the kind, he must
continue to content himself, as best
he can, with the standard prints.
Of course, he can get enlargements
made for him, but there cannot be
the same freedom and latitude as if
he did them himself, and the expense
becomes a matter for serious con¬
sideration.
I have just borrowed from friends
the three film negatives, sjxzj, from
which the illustrations are made, and
I will say a word or two about each.
The negative from which Fig. i
was made was one of several interest¬
ing records of skies and atmospheric
effects at sea, and even as glossy
contact prints they were pleasant to
look at. The one I selected was rather
unbalanced in its tones, and required
a little simple dodging when making
the enlargement. On whole-plate paper
the original print is very attractive.
It is in every way better than the
little contact print. In my opinion,
with all respect for the miniature
print lovers, some subjects, from their
very character, require to be shown
Fig. I.

on a reasonably large scale. Other
subjects are better kept small.
The size, grandeur and impressive¬
ness of mountains and imposing
architecture may be contained in
tabloid form ; but most of us have
minds that can appreciate all these
things better when they are amplified,
so that we can take them in at a
distance (as we see them in reality),
instead of peering at them through
a magnifying glass (which we do not
do when viewing the subjects them¬
selves). So I think that the subject
shown in Fig. i, and many others
like it, are all the better for some
degree of enlargement.
The simple ” personal ” subject of
Fig. 2 was almost buried in its sur¬
roundings, and has been selected and
arranged by enlarging. This could
be done professionally only if the
owner of the film had made a mask
to indicate just what part of the
negative he wanted enlarged. Had
my friend been in a position to do his
own enlarging, he could have selected
the required part as easily as I did
myself.
Fig. 3 is even more drastically
treated. When mv friend showed
me the contact print, 1 promptly took
two other prints, back upwards, and
masked off just the strip shown. He
was amazed at the suggestion that all
the rest should be sacrificed. Then I
showed him, by different masking,
what he was “ sacrificing.” First,
there was a monotonous area of sky,
without clouds or gradation of tone ;
second, there was an equally mono¬
tonous strip of water below the reflec¬
tions. Between them they swamped
the strip of landscape which caught his
eye on the Broads, and prompted him
to make an exposure.
An alternative in this case, would
be to mask out the sky, and print in
some clouds ; but this would have
involved cloud reflections in the
water, and the task would have been
no easy one. So that the enlargement
of the panoramic strip was the sim¬
plest and best solution.
These are all familiar and common
examples and suggestions of what the
amateur can do once he equips himself
for using his own discretion, and
departing from the ” standard ” print
of commerce. W. L. F. W.
PRINT TRIMMING.
Sir, — Re the article on ” Trimming ” in ” The A.P.” for
October 24th, a Valet knife can be purchased from Boot’s
and other chemists for is. 'This little instrument is of great
use to any photographer. I have used mine to trim prints
and also to cut up to lo-sheet board. With compliments. —
Yours, etc., R. BATTLE.
ANASTIGMAT LENS.
Sir, — Here is a rather interesting point that I am sure many
of your readers would like to ha\ e explained.
An anastigmat lens projects the image of an object at infinity
on to a flat plane. Now when it is focussed for a flat object
(say a wall) 6 ft. away from the camera, it is called upon to
throw an image on to a flat plane of an object, some of which,
the centre, is 6 ft. away, and some, the corners, is 7 ft. Surely
it is unable to accomplish this.
Perhaps some of our lens manufacturers would be good
enough to comment on the subject. — ^Yours, etc.,
B. C. HAMILTON.
MINIATURE CAMERA WORK.
Sir, — Replying to Mr. Burr’s request for advice on the use
of miniatujre cameras, ,I hope he will find the latter part of this
letter helpful.
Although he does not state exactly what he means by ” the
cheaper f/4.5 anastigmats,” I am amazed that he cannot make
successful enlargements of postcard size from V.P. negatives.
I am at present using an Ikonta 520 camera, fitted with a
Novar f/3.5 anastigmat, gi\ ing negatives 24 x if in. Panatomic
film, developed with Johnson’s fine-grain developer. Landscape
negativ es are enlarged to 12x8 in., a magnification of about
6 diameters. For portrait work, by artificial light at full aper¬
ture, I usually use the head and shoulders portion, measuring
I X| in. on the negative, and enlarge to whole-plate, a magni¬
fication of just over 8 diameters. In nearly all cases where a
pictorial effect is desired I have to use some diffusing device
on the enlarger, as otherwise the definition is too sharp. Most
of my work is on Kodak Fine Grain Royal bromide paper,
and I have yet to see any evidence of grain, when viewing the
finished print at a normal distance.
When Mr. Burr says “ up to date I have not tried fine-grain
film,” I think he supplies the explanation of his trouble. To
attempt enlargements of the above magnifications from nega¬
tives on ordinary film is like examining a newspaper illustration
through a powerful reading-glass, and stating that the pressman
used a poor lens when making the original. It must be re¬
membered that a magnification of " ten diameters ” means
that the area of the grains is multiplied by one hundred, and
it is area that matters when it comes to visibility.
If Mr. Burr will try a fine-grain film, and develop it in a
fine-grain developer, taking great care to maintain a fairly
even temperature, and avoid mechanical damage to the wet
film, I think he will have a pleasant surprise, and cease to
blame his lens. Needless to say, I have no commercial interest
in the apparatus and materials quoted, but believe in giving
definite data from personal experience. — -Yours, etc.,
C. W. MARTIN.

KINDER.
Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information commwiicated to our Special Representative.
‘‘ T AM almost afraid to think how many years it is since
I 1 set up a quarter-plate camera and took my first
photograph. My ambition soon soared to a half-plate,
and eventually to a whole-plate, which, with much labour, I
carried about on a bicycle, as landscape has always been my
favourite subject.
" In my earlier days 1 aspired to be an artist, and to that
end attended various art classes and studios, and irainted in
oils. When, however, 1 left the country and came to live in
Might and MAjisSTV. F- Kinder.
London I gave up colours and devoted myself to photography.
,\t any rate my art training came in useful in helping me with
composition, tone values, and a knowledge of light and shade,
which in photography are mainly what we rely on for getting
our effects.
" Early in my photographic career I joined a Postal Club,
and was much helped by the drastic (though sometimes en¬
couraging) criticisms, to which I owe many thanks for guiding
my footsteps in the right way.
" I ranged through all the printing processes in vogue, from
P.O.P. to platinotype, gum-bichromate, carbon, carbro, and
eventually bromoil. The last is still my favourite medium,
though now it has rather fallen on evil times, and chloro-
bromide has taken its place.
“ None the less, bromoil seems the ideal medium for picture¬
making, which is always my goal, as it gives plenty of scope
for expressing individuality. I have no hesitation in saying
that 1 use every art and means to attain my ends, and try to
make my camera my servant and not my master.
" As regards my methods of working, 1 have for many
years used panchromatic plates with a K i filter, and panchro¬
matic films for my small camera. All my work is done with
reflex cameras, and I use a quarter-plate and a Rolleiflex,
which I find invaluable for moving objects. I always de¬
sensitise my plates and films, and then develop in a dish in a
red light, so as to watch the development, and try to get the
right density for whatever printing process I intend to use.
I then take a print from my negative, and if necessary I retouch
the negative and then make an enlargement of the size I intend
to use. From this I study what wants lightening or darkening,
and get my results by masking, by local development of the
print and other methods, and also try various makes of papers.
For bromide prints I use amidol, but for chloro-bromide I
use the maker’s formula.
“The print ‘ |oy-Riders ’ was taken with my Rolleiflex
camera, at i Tooth of a second on pan. film. It was no mere
lucky snapshot, but the result of two years’ study of swings
and roundabouts whenever I could get near them. It required
a good deal of patience just to hit on the right moment at the
top of the swing, and then probably the sun went in, or the
girl looked the wrong way, or the man in charge suddenly
stopped the swing with a long pole.
“ I have always been attracted by strong light-and-shade
subjects, and the silhouette of the boat up in the air seemed to
lend itself, with the lines of the ropes, to an effective picture.
1 must have taken a dozen negatives of these subjects, and
found it quite amusing to watch the different expressions
of the children’s faces.
“ But landscape is really my first and last love, and I fear
the modern style of photography has no appeal to me. It
seems such a pity that the wonderful technical skill of the
modernists is not used for more artistic results. However, I
live in hopes that when they have grown tired of piles of
saucepans, rolls of cardboard, and harsh artificial lighting,
they will turn again to the beauties of Nature — the wonders of
sea, sky and mountain — and make pictures that will give real
pleasure when we hang them on our walls.”

The harbour,” by Clifford
Woodward, No. i of the
prints reproduced on the
opposite page, is quite an excellent
piece of work, not only from the
technical standpoint, but also having
regard to its acceptable form of
composition and the appropriate selec¬
tion of a foreground of more than
ordinary length.
Looking Downwards.
Until the advent of photography,
it was very rare to see any departure
from the customary proportions of a
picture by which one-third of the
picture space was devoted to the
landscape portion and two-thirds to
the sky.
The facility with which a camera
can be made to include the same
proportion, or more or less, led to the
adoption, in subjects where the main
interest was shown in the foreground,
of a viewpoint with a downward
inclination, and, in such cases, it was
found desirable to reverse the propor¬
tions in question and allot two-thirds,
or thereabouts, to the landscape
element. The lead, initiated by photo¬
graphy, has been followed by prac¬
titioners of all the graphic arts, and it
is now no uncommon thing to see the
painter choosing a viewpoint of some
height and looking down upon his
subject.
Nevertheless, it must be remembered
that any departure from the normal
point of view demands a justification,
and it cannot be used without dis¬
crimination or consideration. A long
foreground, in which there is no
interest, is simply an eyesore ; but,
if it be suitably filled, and either
contains or has elements which lead
up to whatever happens to be the
centre of interest, the reverse obtains.
In the print under discussion, the
principal feature is the fishing-boat
on the right. Its presence justifies
the length of the foreground, for,
were it shorter, there would not be
sufficient room below the boat, and it
could not sit comfortably in the
picture space.
Picture Proportions,
Moreover, the reflections, which form
an added attraction, would be cur¬
tailed, and the subject would seem
restricted. As the arrangement now
stands, these drawbacks are avoided,
and the choice of the long foreground
is not only justified, but it also adds
a certain novelty to the impression.
At the same time, it could be
wished that the light and shade were
enhanced by a pronounced effect of
sunshine. It does seem to be present,
but, as its influence is spread over the
whole of the print, and there is not
enough shadow to make it evident,
it is too dispersed to be of any real
value. It ought to be more localised
or concentrated in one particular
spot — preferably in the principal vessel.
In the case of No. 2, " Trout
Enthusiasm,” b)^ E. H. Whitford,
which is also characterised by a
similarType of viewpoint, the sunlit
figure of the fisherman provides that
feeling of concentration that is need¬
ful. There is a certain amount of
competition in the bright notes of
the foliage above, but, if the subject
can be visualised with this reduced
to a lower value, it will be appreciated
how great the gain would be and how
much the impression of sunlight is
stressed by localisation.
Concentration and Dispersal.
The light on the figure gains value
because it is concentrated, and also,
to a not inconsiderable extent, by the
fact that there is a large proportion
of shadow. In No. 1 the light is
not conserved, and loses by dispersal.
Coming to No. 3, ” Hampton Court,”
by J. A. Stirling, which is a more
normal type of subject, and does not
need any departure from the normal
view level, there is a modification of
the same principle of concentration.
There is quite a sufficiency of shadow,
but the lights in chief — the splashes of
light on the left and on the steps — are
divided into three. The fact that
they are divided may entail some
little loss in concentration, but, as
they occur in a sequence, a connection
between them is suggested, and, in
effect, their attraction is united in the
form of a group.
It may not have quite the same
pull as if the light were absolutely a
single unit, but the Ipss is scarcely
noticeable, and for all practical pur¬
poses is negligible. In the case of
No. 5, “ An Italian Courtyard,” by
H. F. Hands, however, a suggestion
of disunity arises because of the
existence of light notes on both right
and left edges.
Division of Interest.
The space between them is too wide
for any effectiv^e connection to be
established, and, consequently, there
is a division of interest.
Something might be done to im¬
prove matters by trimming a bit
from the left so as to remove the
light from that side, and the fore¬
ground shadow, which, in present
circumstances, is helpful, would then
function in seeming to hold the two
sides together. If it were also found
possible to include a small shadow on
the extreme right to diminish the
light at that edge and to join up with
the shadow across the base, the
feeling of concentration would be
immeasurably advanced.
The value of a single dominant
light in pulling a composition together
is shown in No. 6, " The Old School-
house,” by Michael Wilkinson. That
light is to be seen underneath the
bridge, and, though there are light
tones elsewhere, it remains the bright¬
est and its attraction is paramount.
It is much the same when the reverse
obtains, as, for example, when dark
is contrasted against light.
Extremes in Conjunction.
It is for this reason that the features
stand out so well in No. 4, ” Portrait
of a Bedouin.” by S. J. Vella. Here,
the face is the only dark in a setting
of light, and, in consequence, gains
concentration and force. Extremes of
tone in conjunction attract the atten¬
tion by power of contrast, and,
although the setting may appear
somewhat restricted in this particular
instance, the defect should be cor¬
rected, on another occasion, by the
adoption of a more distant viewpoint.
The placing of light against dark
is the reason why the chief figure
stands out well in No. 8, “ Homeward
Bound,” by R. H. Locke, but the
printing has been carried a stage or
so too far and appears degraded in
consequence. No. 7, “ Buttermere,”
by Miss B. C. Crichton, is much better,
judged in this respect, but it could
be wished that the tree on the left
were not quite so much an intrusion.

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“ PATTERN IN THE SKY,” by Will Till.
IN these days of vastly improved
emulsions, with their greatly
increased range of colour sen¬
sitivity, it is perhaps no uncommon
thing to find a full rendering of the
tones of a sky, together with all the
subtleties of gradation which dis¬
tinguish the cloud forms, and, at the
same time, a landscape which
betrays no lack of modulation
or any sign of under-exposure_
The Sky in Landscape.
Only a few years ago, such
a thing would have been a
practical impossibility, for
only in exceptional circum¬
stances could a fully-exposed
landscape be obtained with¬
out so over-exposing the sky
that its gradation, even if
recorded, would be unprint¬
able.
Either the sky would be
recorded and the landscape
lacking through under-expo¬
sure, or, if the landscape were
properly rendered, the sky,
would be represented by utter
blankness. The advent of
colour-sensitive plates and
films (panchromatic) and light
filters has effected a radical
alteration, and, in any or¬
dinary combination of land¬
scape and sky, little difficulty
is now experienced in retaining
the full values of both.
It is undoubted that the
fact is responsible for the
production of this picture.
Its truth of tone, both in
landscape and sky, has been
rendered possible by the ad¬
vances in question, but, at
the same time, it is so rarely that a
cloud of so exquisite a form is seen—
and, if seen, caught — that the picture
attains a most unusual and remarkable
appeal. It is decidedly attractive,
and at the recent exhibition of the
London Salon of Photography oc¬
casioned a considerable amount of
favourable comment.
It represents an achievement of
which its author may well be proud.
The sky is magnificent, and the land¬
scape retains just sufficient interest,
with its hint of sunshine and depth of
tone at the base, to carry the greater
attraction above.
Compositional Form.
It will be observed that the shape
of the cloud is roughly that of a
triangle or pyramid. It has promi¬
nences which extend beyond the
precise geometrical form, and de¬
pressions which fall inside it, but its
main mass is one that approximates
to the shape in question. Nor would
it be wise to adopt a formation ap¬
proaching the form more closely, for it
would then become obvious, and the
obvious is a thing to be avoided in
the arrangement of a composition.
It is, however, near enough to keep
all the strength of such a formation,
as may be seen on reference to the
accompanying sketch, where it is
indicated by dotted lines.
The feeling of strength is attribut¬
able to the nature of a pyramid.
A triangular object sits firmly on its
base and is not easy to upset. The
tremendous impression of static power
which the Egyptian pyramids convey,
in actual fact, arises from the same
cause, and, similarly, when the shape
occurs in a picture, even if it
be somewhat disguised or be
not wholly complete, a like
feeling of strength is created.
Hence the vital suggestion
of vitality and power that
is imparted in this case.
With the main attraction
in the sky, it would scarcely
be fitting for the landscape
to be endowed with any
great measure of attraction.
It should be sufficiently in¬
teresting to maintain the
sky, but not enough to create
any sense of competition.
Here, the relative attrac¬
tions are adjusted to a nicety.
The landscape portion is just
about one-fifth of the total
area of the picture. The
limitation prevents it from
becoming too assertive, and
the attention excited by the
effect of sunshine is adequate
to relieve it from monotony
without exciting too much
interest. The presence of the
horse (2) provides an accent that
balances the spot (1) where
the brightest light appears.
A further feature which
indicates a nice idea of bal¬
ance is afforded by the dark
strip along the base. It may
seem to conflict a little with
realism and owe something
to after-treatment, but it -gives that
weight of tone at the bottom of the
picture that not only suggests stability
but initiates a balance between depth
of tone in the lower portion and the
greater area devoted to the sky.
Space is countered by weight of
tone, and, in other respects, the print
is equally well contrived. There is,
for example, a very real sense of a
recession of planes in the cloud form,
and aerial perspective is by no means
easy to suggest in circumstances such
as these. “ Mentor.”

USING AMATEUR CINE APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Topical Cine Work M. A. LOVELL-BURGESS.
IT’S goodTo have a cin6 camera when
the road to everywhere is turning
white and hard in March. It’s
fun to be out “ on location ” in
mid-summer. But autumn and winter
are equally rich in opportunities and
experiences for the cin6 enthusiast.
There’s the sound of voices and
laughter once again in the studio.
There are films to be edited, titling
to be done, and— arising from a recog¬
nition of the fact that the proof of
the pudding is not only in the eating,
but also, so to speak, in the dishing-up
and serving — decisions have to be
made on all that concerns successful
presentation; a good screen, artistic
lighting, a well-balanced programme,
music, or a running commentary.
But what about actual winter
cinematography ?
There is always a certain amount of
sunshine even in winter, and on such
days ordinary panchromatic film is
sufficient. On dull days a super¬
sensitive pan. will compensate for the
lower intensity of the light. Sea
pictures, a sense of form expressed,
maybe, in gaunt trees, picked out like
sentinels or massed like mountain
ramparts against the west, silhouettes,
mist effects, movement, snow, and the
occasional use of the colour wheel, can
all find pleasing place in winter films.
The new, faster films have made
indoor wdnter evening work a simple
matter with the aid of one, two or
more of the many inexpensive flood¬
lighting lamps on the market. And
these lamps, despite their " high
pressure,” are not expensive to run
unless you are unreasonably lengthy
in filming. If you buy a reflector — or,
equally well, make one — you can
economise on the number of lamps
required.
If you intend to give a special Christ¬
mas show of your films — and I hope,
incidentally, London amateurs will
do their best to capture some of the
pageantry of the Royal wedding,
which would make a particularly
acceptable film for a festive gathering
— you will probably want one or two
supporting films from the libraries.
If this is the case, remember to order
early and to give at least three alterna¬
tives.
News from the Clubs.
The first number of the overdue
quarterl}? bulletin of the Independent
Film Makers is '' out ” at last, and I
am indebted to Mr. E. Lightfoot for
a copy of it. It is edited by Leslie
Beisiegel, whose first concern is to
assure readers that I.F.M.A. is con¬
cerned only with those film-makers
interested in the film of reality —
documentary. “ For those more
interested in their ego we advise
searching elsewhere for encourage¬
ment,” says Leslie Beisiegel, scathingly.
And here are two S.O.S.’s before
the news.
Will any member who has had
experience of sound-on-disc recording
and reproduction, and who knows
the advantages and disadvantages of
various systems of disc recording, write
what he knows about it to 32, Shaftes¬
bury Avenue, London, W.i. The
sound is to be used in conjunction
with 16-mm. projector, and is to be
recorded after the film is made.
The second experiment, to which
the bulletin draws attention, is an
attempt by a member to discover the
truth of the theory that the eye follows
the line of a picture and is led to a
certain point. The member wants
to test this theory by a slow-motion
close-up of an eye suddenly confronted
by a picture of the required type.
If any members possessing facilities
for slow-motion are interested in
making an experiment they can get
in touch with the member concerned
through the Shaftesbury Avenue ad¬
dress already given.
Eastbourne cine amateurs met in
the Oak Cabin Restaurant on Friday
evening to consider titling in aU its
Members of the Croydon Amateur Film Club shooting a scene from “So this is

Croydon. New members will be welcome to the club.

Surrey. The Club will be glad to hear
from all who are keen on the photo¬
graphic side of cinematography or
anything allied to it. They have a
good size studio and a clubroom attached,
and are well equipped for artificial
lighting. They have recently built a
new room adjoining the existing studio
in order that lectures, etc., may be
given without disturbing the making
of any film. Meetings are held every

International Hobby.
I hope those of you who are inter¬
ested in the making of interest, travel
and religious films will see, if you are
given the opportunity, “ Beginning at
Jerusalem,” the missionary film spon¬
sored by seven leading missionary
societies. It differs from a travel
film in that the .selection of shots has
been made with a religious, and not
merely a, “ travel ” object. There is
nothing ‘‘ goody-goody ” about this
film. It tells the only story in the
world that has no ending — a story
that is being worked out to-day, east
and west, north and south, in terms
of men and women, of love and heroic
enterprise.
An outline of the stories of the films
in the Ensign i6-mm. library has just
been published in the form of an attrac¬
tive book of 12S pages under the title
of ■' Pleasure Hours,” by Ensign. The
book is primarily a catalogue of all the
films available for hire from the Ensign
Film Ifibrarj^ but in every case a
synopsis of the story embodied in the
film is given. In this way the hirer of
any film is able to judge in advance
whether the subject is a suitable one,
which he might not be able to guess
from the title alone. It is a book that
every owner of a cine projector should
get, particularly at the present time of
year when he wishes to hire films for the
winter season. The book costs is., and
is obtainable from the Ensign Film Library,
88-89, High Holborn, London, W.C.i.
A new introduction by Zeiss Ikon,
Ltd., is announced in the shape of the
Ikoflex, which is the name given to the
new Zeiss Ikon twin-lens roll-film focus¬
sing reflex. This little camera has an
all-metal leather-covered body and, with
a rapid-changing device, is for twelve
pictures 2JX2J on standard 3JX2J roll
film. It is fitted with the Novar anas-
tigmat f/4.5 lens and Ikoflex shutter,
giving I /25th, I /50th, and i/iooth sec.,
T. and B. It will sell at the low price
of {y los., and another model with an
anastigmat of smaller aperture will
shortly be available at £6 los. Par¬
ticulars may be had free on application
to Messrs. Zeiss Ikon, Ltd., ii, Mortimer
House, 37-41, Mortimer Street, W.i.
We hope to review this camera more
fully in a later issue.
I should like to see ” Beginning at
Jerusalem ” reduced to sub-standard
stock. Perhaps if some representation <
to this effect were made to the Mission¬
ary Film Committee concerned this
would be done. I am sure there
would be a steady and continuous
demand for this film by cin6
amateurs.
Such films bring home to one very
clearly the possibilities of cinema —
possibilities long ago realised by the
Communists, who even at this minute
are setting up a sub-standard, non¬
flam, and consequently uncensored,
circuit in this country. Films, like
music, are international. A Chinese,
a Japanese, an Indian, a German, an
Italian and an Englishman could sit
in a row, each knowing only their
own language, and see “ Beginning
at Jerusalem ” with more or less
complete comprehension.
If you are internationally minded,
accent jmur hobby in this direction
this winter.
The Photographic Competition or¬
ganised by the Polytechnic Touring
Association for photographs during the
Polytechnic Tours of 1934 brought a
very large entry. The prints were judged
by the Editor of The A mateur Photo¬
grapher, and the prizes were awarded to
the following : First, R. C. E. Harman,
Wimbledon Park ; Second, Edgar Rawns-

Fourth, S. A. Gandy, Chiswick ; and
Fifth, S. W. Heyburn, Hastings.
The Leyton.stone and Wanstead Cam¬
era Club have just taken up their head¬
quarters at the new branch library
which has been opened in Leytonstone.
They will have the use of the main hall,
seating about 200 people, a large lantern
screen and a closed-in projection room,
while the walls are fitted with cork so
that pictures can be pinned up without
any trouble. As a result of this, the
Club hopes to increase its membership.
Full details will bg sent on application

Carter, of 9, East India Dock, £.14.
The Battersea Institute Camera Club
report a good year’s work at their
annual general meeting, and an attrac¬

has been arranged. A new and im¬
proved dark-room for the use of members
is nearly completed. The subscription
is small, and all interested are invited
to join. Full particulars are available
from the Hon. Secretary, Mr. W. Steele,
25, Grayshot Road, Battersea. S.W.ii.
Re the Annual Supper Dance arranged

it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Qverseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
for criticism must be enclosed w ith competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Stained Negatives.
I send some sample film negatives made in India
years ago. You will see that the surface on
both sides is stained. Is there any wav of remov¬
ing the marks ? C. .■\. T. R. (London.)
You will probably have no difficulty
in cleaning up your negatives if you
rub the surface with a plug of cotton¬
wool and a little Baskett’s Reducer. We
have frequently pointed out that this
is a good method of cleaning away such
stains,' which are on the surface only.
London Societies.
Will you recommend one or two London photo¬
graphic societies ? I notice the names of the
Camera Club and others, but have no addresses.
Can you give them ? M. L. R. (London, N.i.)
'We are afraid it is impossible to give
you a full list of all the photographic
societies in London, and must refer you tb
“ Photograms of the Year.” We can,
however, supply readers with the ad¬
dresses of societies in their own particular
district, and we mention the following
for your own guidance ; The North
London Camera Club, Secretary, L. G.
Gregory, 21, Dawlish Avenue, Powys
Lane, N.13 ; North Middlesex Photo¬
graphic Society, Secretary, Miss M. E.
Blake, 112, Crouch Hill, N.8 ; Finchley
and District Photographic Society, Secre¬
tary, Harry W. Wheeler, Westholme, 18,
Elmhurst Avenue, East Finchley, N.a ;
Wood Green Photographic Society, Secre¬
tary, J. H. Dundas,- 83, Philip Lane,
N.15 ; Stoke Newington Camera Club,
Secretary, A. Miles, 16, Chesholm Road,
N.16. The address of the Camera Club
is 17, John Street, Adelphi, W.C.2, and
the Secretary is Mr. H. C. Giles ; The
Royal Photographic Society, 35, Russell
Square, W.C.i, Secretary, H. H. Black-
lock ; The Secretary of the City of
London and Cripplegate Photographic
Society is Mr. 'W. E. Ginger, of 13 1,
Hampstead Way, Golders Green, N.W.ii.
Stop for Poor Light.
In the poor light of autumn and winter is an
aperture of f/6.3 large enough to allow snapshots
to be taken ? M. VV. (Liverpool.)
F /6.3 is quite large enough an aperture
for taking snapshots even in the winter
under reasonably favourable conditions ;
it depends largely upon the light and the
subject. If you use an exposure meter
this will tell you whether a given ex¬
posure at that aperture will be sufficient
or not.
Safety Shutter.
Can the safety shutter of a single plate-holder
be fully withdrawn, or only enough to expose the
plate ? A. A. (Lyminster.)
Assuming that the slides are properly
light-trapped you may safely draw the
shutter right out. The only point to
remember is that in replacing it you
must not insert one corner first, but put
it square into the slot and push it
right home.
Fogged Negatives.
Can you tell me what has caused the patch of
fog on each of the negatives herewith ? I have
discovered a small pinhole in the bellows, but do
not think this would account for the trouble.
L. G. (Erdingtoh.)
The fact that you have got a hole
in the bellows sufficiently accounts for
the fogging of your negatives, and the
obvious thing to do is to get the defect
remedied.
■Shutter for Camera.
I have acquired a stand camera with two lenses
but no shutter. . Can you suggest a shutter that
would be suitable for both lenses ?
E. J. S. (Wallasey.)
It is a practical certainty that you
could have fitted to the front of your
camera a Thornton-Pickard roller-blind
shutter. This has a removable front
panel, so that to take the two lenses you
would require two panels, each fitted
with a flange to take one of the lenses.
436
Choice of Lens.
I have a 10 X 8 camera. Will you advise me what
kind of lens I shall have to get to cover a plate
of this size ? G. T. (Woking.)
There are lenses of all types and
prices that will cover a 10x8 plate. If
you obtain lists from one or two makers
you will find such lenses specified. It
is generally stated what size plate each
lens is intended to cover, with both a
large and a small stop. A good deal
depends on the kind of work you propose
to do with the camera.
Pyro for Gaslight Paper.
Will you forward me a pyro-soda developer for
gaslight papers? A. J. H. (Old Hill.)
M'e do not know of any pyro-soda
formula that we should feel justified in
recommending for gaslight papers. You
cannot do better than use for any par¬
ticular paper one of the formulae given
by its makers ; otherwise you will cer¬
tainly not get the best results.
Thin Negatives.
Are the enclosed negatives under-exposed or
under-developed? If the latter, what is a safe
intensifier ? C. L. H. (Melksham.)
The negatives you send are not under¬
exposed but seriously under-developed.
We should advise the use of a chromium
intensifier, the method of using which
we have frequently described, and quite
recently in one of our beginners’ articles.
We doubt, however, whether you will
be able to get sufficient density for using
the negatives with normal papers, and
you will probably have to use a vigorous
type, even after intensification.
Speed Numbers.
Is there a ready method of converting H. & D.
speed numbers into Scheiner numbers ?
G. S. B. (Ayr.)
Y'e have repeatedly pomted out that
there is no reliable and consistent
method of translating H. & D. speeds
into Scheiner speeds ; the methods are
fundamentally different.
Transferotype.
How does one use Transferotype paper for trans¬
ferring prints to glass, wood, etc. ?
N. G. P. (Ely.)
Transferotype paper is made by Messrs.
Kodak, Ltd., of Kingsway, London,
W.C,2, and if you get some you will find
that it is accompanied by full instruc¬
tions as to the method of using it.
Bubbles on Plates.
I use air-free water when developing plates, but
get pinholes due to bubbles. How can I get
perfect negatives ? Is it permissible to wipe
over the surface of the plate with cotton-wool ? ■
W. L. H. (Letchworth.)
It is difficult to say why some people
get defects which never seem to trouble
others. There is no objection to passing
a plug of cotton-wool gently and quickly
over the surface of the plate. Another
plan is to lift the plate out of the de¬
veloper directly the latter is applied,
as any bubbles that may have formed
on the surface will then almost certainly
break. Perhaps what you describe as
“ pinholes ” are not due to air-bubbles
at all, but to dust on the plate at the
time of exposure.

We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.13.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert h s advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertis rs having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

special appeal to all amateur
photographers, is a number
of separately printed plates,
all from hand camera nega¬
tives by the author. These
are selected to show the very
wide range of subjects access¬
ible to the snapshotter, from
pure landscape to telephoto¬
graphic portraiture.
Though primarily written
for the beginner, ** Hand
Cameras '' contains much
of interest to the advanced
worker, and should be in
the working library of all
who would attain to the
highest degree of artistic
excellence in their work.

The Awards in our Annual
Lantern - Slide Competition
are published in this issue,
and the entries have afforded another
proof — if such were needed — of the
tendency towards technical perfection
in modern pictorial photography.
While the number submitted this
year was greater than ever, there
were practically no bad slides. The
standard throughout was very high
indeed, and the judging, in conse¬
quence, was more difficult. Witli
so many fine efforts, most of which
showed a full appreciation of the
advantages of panchromatic ma¬
terial, it was necessary to project
the pictures repeatedly and weigh
up minor differences before the
winners could be decided upon. It
will be noted that the awards have
been increased, and the prize .set
starts on its travels among the
British societies almost immediately.
Every available date until May next
has been booked.
Autumn Tints in Colour.
We hear from a correspondent
who resides on the borders of the
New Forest that the tints of autumn
this season are exceptionally hne,
and the same applies to many
other districts. Doubtless many
photographers will be making at¬
tempts to reproduce them upon the
newly introduced colour films, which
have the advantage of greater speed
than the older colour plates. With
the latter it was frequently a
difficult matter to get good results,
as exposures often ran into minutes,
and at this season of the year wind
is a troublesome factor. The colour
photographer new to this branch of
work should be on his guard
against the tendency to include too
mich of a subject, or too wide ex¬
panses. These are very attractive.
A Corner of the Harbour.
A modern treatment of a familiar subject.
An article dealing with “Modernism”
in pictorial photography will be found
on another page in this issue.
but they fail to satisfy when they
are reduced to the dimensions of
a colour plate. The best subjects
are those which cover a compara¬
tively small area, and are composed
of several vivid, contrasting colours.
Autumnal tints, for example, are
often shown to greater effect when
the dark greens of firs or similar
trees are included. The best time
for these subjects is early morning,
or after three o’clock in the after¬
noon, for the reason that the air is
often still at these times, and the
lighting softer in character.
The Emulsion Chemist’s
Performance.
So often when one hears of cine¬
matograph achievements it is the
actual operator who is lauded, with
sometimes a word of appreciation
for the designer of the camera.
Therefore it was refreshing to hear'
Mr. S. Rowson, when opening the
exhibition of cinematography at
the R.P.S. House the other day,
give a pat on the back to the emul¬
sion chemist, who has successfully
produced a light-sensitive material
with a speed of one-fortieth of a
second under all sorts of light
conditions. But that is not all that
the chemist has accomplished. The
picture on the cinematograph film
in the silent days was about one inch
by three-quarters of an inch in
size, and it is less now in order to
accommodate the sound-track. But
even at the larger size its projection
on to a 24-ft. screen implies a linear
magnification of nearly 300 diameters
and a superficial magnification of
go, 000. Yet, in the large picture on
the screen at which millions gaze
every night there is no emulsion
grain visible in any part, nor any
of the “ sparkle ” resulting from
tiny holes in the emulsion which
437

iHt AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
ta 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o

formerly were too frequent. And
perhaps most important of all is
the uniformity of photographic qua¬
lity which extends over every batch
of film coming from the modern
works. Whatever the story told
in the picture, however vapid or
vulgar, the photographic achieve¬
ment is miraculous.
The Amateur, Too.
W'e were glad to hear Mr. T^owson,
opening an exhibition of what was
mainly professional work, say a
kind word for the amateur. He
mentioned, by the way, that the
first amateur film of which any
record exists was made in 1901 by
Mr. E. W. Mellor — we believe the
subject was a railway train — who
died suddenly a few years ago in
the very rooms where the present
exhibition is being held. To-day the
sub-standard camera and film have
found great popularity. Mr. Row-
son estimates that about 150,000 such
cameras are in use in this country,
that in France the number is twice
as great, while in the United States
it is near the million mark. The
amateur, generally speaking, said
Mr. Rowson, has to work without
the lavish resources of a studio at
his disposal. He cannot use the
almost unlimited illumination at
the command of his professional
brother. His picture is from one-
half to about two-sevenths of the
linear dimensions of the profes¬
sional. His camera lacks some of
the extreme refinements. Yet, in
.spite of these handicaps, he “ gets
there,” and has marvellous results
to his credit.
Convention.
A lantern slide of pictorial in¬
tention which was exhibited among
a group of photographers was chal¬
lenged by one of them on the ground
that on one side of the picture
there projected the upper part of a
tree, but no trunk or other founda¬
tion for the tree was visible. He
declared that it caused mental
agitation to find in a picture an
object which must be supported
from the ground, but in which no
suggestion of such support was
conveyed. On the other hand, a
pictorialist of equal eminence ex¬
claimed that the other was putting
forward an absurd convention, and
that the real consideration was not
whether the tree had a trunk — which
might indeed be inferred by the
ordinary intelligence — but whether
the mass of foliage gave the proper
balance to the composition. The
reconciliation of the two views seems
as difficult as in theological or
political controversy.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Masks in Enlarging.
I have an enlarger taking negatives from quarter -plate down¬
wards, and generally use two smaller sizes. I find a good deal of
difficulty, one way and another, with getting neat borders by
masking the film negative. What do you consider the simplest
and best way of managing this ? E. P. (Hendon.)
Methods vary a great deal, and to some extent are influenced
by the type of apparatus. It is therefore sometimes necessary
to make some modification in any method that may be sug¬
gested, but as a rule the main ideas hold good. We take it
that you wish to mask off the edges of the prints, so that they
can be trimmed to show a narrow white margin. We also
assume that you wish to use different sizes and proportions of
masks according to the requirements of the subjects.
In any case, apart from masking, it is necessary to hold the
film negative in a suitable position, and quite flat, during the
exposure ; and for this purpose it is easy to prepare suitable
carriers. For your own purpose you will require a few pieces
of clear, flawless glass of quarter-plate size. If you have no
old negatives yourself you can no doubt get some from a
photographic friend ; failing this, a frame-maker will cut the
pieces from a sheet of thin, clear glass.
After considerable experiment we consider that the type of
carrier shown in the sketch is about the simplest and best,
the mask itself being conveniently cut from the black paper
used for packing bromide paper.
In the sketch the large rectangle represents the quarter-
plate glass ; the smaller one is the opening cut in the black
paper. This is arranged to come centrally on the glass. It is
made a trifle smaller than the negative, the opening just
showing the whole of the image. The dotted lines indicate
the edges of the mask which are pasted and turned over on
to the back. This leaves the whole of the front of the mask
lying free but flat on the surface. The triangular pieces cut
out of the ends of the paper are important, as they greatly
facilitate slipping a corner of the film under the paper, and
either corner can be put in at either end of the mask in a
moment.
The film is slid into position in the opening of the mask,
another piece of glass laid on it to keep it flat and in position,
and the complete “ sandwich ” put into the carrier of the
enlarger.
Instead of making the mask opening the full size of the
negative, other openings can be cut of suitable dimensions, in
this case a separate mask being made for each size. There
are two drawbacks to this. The first is that the edges of the
opening are liable to get damaged ; the second is that it is
no easy matter to cut out a small rectangle so accurately that
it will be perfectly true when considerably enlarged.
On the whole, therefore, we prefer to use the full-size open¬
ing always, and to do the masking on the print itself. This
can be done in various ways. In the case of a glass-fronted
enlarging easel, paper masks can be cut for laying on the glass,
with the paper pressed close against them. With a vertical
enlarger, if there is no mechanical masking arrangement,
sheets of glass with masks pasted on them can be laid on the
paper after it is put in position on the baseboard.

their first attempts with plates or films of super speed. In the following article
some hints are given upon how to make the best of these materials.
At the present time of year
there are many photogra-
^ phers who contemplate
making their first attempt with
super-rapid plates or films. N ot only
can successful results be secured
out of doors under poor lighting
conditions, with subjects the very
nature of which prohibit long ex¬
posures, but the use of these
materials opens up new and attrac¬
tive fields of negative-making. In
the home after dark, and out-of-
door night photography, each and
all offer possibilities through the
increased sensitiveness of modern
materials.
Ortho, or Pan, ?
The photographer has to decide
which of the high-speed materials
he will use. Both orthochromatic
and panchromatic plates and films
can be obtained of high speed.
With the latter there is a greatly
increased speed to artificial lighting ;
in fact, for some pan. material it
is claimed that the speed is four
times faster under these conditions.
The choice of a plate or film will
depend not upon its ability to render
colour values, although this may
enter into the question as well, but
upon the sensitiveness as required
by the character of the subject to
be dealt with.
Care Necessary.
There is one point that the photo¬
grapher who is intending to use these
highly sensitive materials will need
to consider. The camera must be
in perfect order, and especially
the slides, the light trapping, or the
fitting of the back of a film camera,
in order to avoid trouble arising
from mysterious patches of fog on
the negatives.
Cases have been known of cameras
which gave no trouble with materials
of slow speed that have produced
negatives which showed slight
patches of fog, when loaded with
super-rapid panchromatics. This
particularly applies to roll-film
cameras with the familiar little
red window at the back. Several
makers of high-speed pan. films have
recognised the possibilities of fog¬
ging through this window, and supply
a black adhesive patch to cover it
when these films are being used.
Those photographers who have
been used to plenty of red light in
the dark-room are often diffident of
their powers of being able to load
slides or to carry out development
in almost total darkness. In prac¬
tice there will be found no difficulty
in loading slides by touch. De¬
velopment can be done by tank, or,
if the photographer prefers it, de¬
sensitising of the plate allows of
development being done under com¬
fortable conditions.
Speed and Exposure.
In spite of the fact that the
negative material has high speed,
the secret of success lies in full
exposure. In other words, the ex¬
posure should not be cut down for
the sake of doing so in order to
test the capacity of the plate or
film for securing a negative with an
exposure impossibly short. Many
photographers fail at first when
using these materials through failure
to realise this point.
The ultra-rapid plate or film has
actually a smaller margin of latitude
in exposure than thaT of lower speed,
and if the very finest negatives are
required the exposure should be
on the full side. A very short
exposure may produce a negative
of sorts, but a very little more will
give a far better one.
Miniature Negatives.
The user of the miniature camera
is the first to use the film of high
speed. It enlarges his scope with
regard to subjects, and in combina¬
tion with a large-aperture lens it
is possible to produce successful
negatives under conditions which
would be regarded as impossible not
so very long ago. Here again the
photographer will find it well to
expose fully, or “ grain ” will be
evident in the negatives.
If the camera is fitted with a large-
aperture lens, and the subject does
not call for the very highest speed
panchromatic material, it is weU to
consider the use of one of lower
rapidity with the better negative
quality which results.
Development.
The best results upon super-speed
plates and films are only ■ secured
by careful development. They need
rather longer development in order
to produce a negative of the same
density that would be secured by a
slower speed emulsion in a shorter
time. It will be found, however,
with most panchromatic plates
and films that density is gained
very readily. For this reason over¬
development should be avoided or
the negatives will be difficult to
enlarge.
Super-speed materials vary con¬
siderably in the contrast of the
negatives that they yield. Most
modern films are expected to give
a soft negative, and, these being
exposed under harsh lighting
conditions, this is as it should be.
On the other hand, when exposures
are made out of doors under con¬
ditions where the lighting is weak,
the contrast of the films may not
be sufficient to produce a negative
of full vigour. The plates and films
by different makers vary in this
respect, some giving a much more
vigorous result than others.
If the plate or film is of the type
which is intended to give an image
of soft gradation, and the subject
is of the low contrast type, the
alternative is to use a developer
which gives a vigorous image, such
as pyro-soda or pyro-metol.

FANSTONE.
The present time of the year is
the ideal for woodland photo¬
graphy. The dense foliage of
high summer has become thinner, and
the bracken has changed colour and
died down. The lower position of the
sun at this time of the year also
produces long, interesting shadows
and patterns over the foregrounds to
delight the heart of the photographer.
Woodland photography is very fas¬
cinating, but it must be admitted
that it is not always easy.
The character of the wood is of
first importance. The ideal wood for
picture-making is one where there are
a few well-grown
trees separated
from each other
by well - lighted
spaces, with a
freedom from
scrubby under¬
growth. Such a
woodland will be
productive of
masses of light
and shade which
are so necessary
for these subjects.
Often there is
more shadow than
sunshine.
The best time
for these subjects
is early in the
morning or dur¬
ing the late after¬
noon when the
sun is lower.
There is also at
these times a cer¬
tain amount of
mist, which very
effectively sub¬
dues distances and
unwanted details
in the composition .
Careful composition is very essential
in woodland photography. There
must be some well-defined and promi¬
nent object in the foreground. The
trunk of a tree can often be used to
advantage when working against the
light, to shield the lens of the camera
from the sun.
A careful watch must be kept with
a view to avoiding the awkward
effects so often seen in woodland
pictures, in which a tree in the middle
distance appears as if growing out
from the trunk of one in the fore¬
ground.
At no season of the year are
there better opportunities for
picture-making in the wood¬
lands than the late Autumn
and early Winter. The follow¬
ing article gives some hints
upon this topical subject.
With regard to apparatus, almost
any camera may be used, provided
that it can be put upon a tripod, and
a time exposure given. With the
modern miniature camera fitted with
an ultra-rapid lens and super-speed
panchromatic film it is possible to
make exposures in the hand success¬
fully,' under good lighting conditions,
but the beauty of most woodland
pictures lies in shadow detail as well
as details in the lights.
The best results will probably be
obtained with a camera fitted with a
long-focus lens. Many excellent sub¬
jects are to be seen which appear
quite different when approached suffi¬
ciently near 'to include only what is
necessary, with a lens of normal focal
length. A focussing screen is very
helpful in avoiding the bad notes in
the composition referred to ' above,
which are so easily overlooked in a
view-finder.
Colour-sensitive materials are called
for, preferably panchromatics with a
light screen if the subject admits of
the longer exposure. Wind is often
a troublesome factor at this time of
the year, and when a screen prolongs
the exposure too much excellent
results will be obtained upon un¬
screened ‘‘ pan ” material. Colour is
everywhere in the autumn woodlands,
but while it is easy for the inexperi¬
enced photographer to be led astray
by colour effects,
these can be sug¬
gested very well
by the use of mo¬
dern panchromatic
materials.
If plates are
used they must
be backed, or the
results will be
spoiled by hala¬
tion. The 'chrome
films now so
popular will give
excellent results,
especially under
trying conditions
of lighting.
These -subjects
call for the use
of an exposure
meter, as the light¬
ing conditions are
very deceptive.
Full exposure is
always called for
in order to render
the shadow details,
and the latitude
of the plate or
films should be
sufficient to retain
the quality of the high-lights.
The development of autumnal
woodland exposures calls for no
special comment except that over¬
development should be avoided,
especially in the case of those sub¬
jects which contain strong lighting
contrasts and delicate atmospheric
effects, and especially when, as is
often the case, these are found in
combination.
It may be added that the worker
of any natural colour process will find
ideal subjects in the woodlands under
the conditions suggested.

THE FIRELIGHT PORTRAIT E. SMALLWOOD
This particularly effective kind of indoor portrait is
very easy to achieve with the aid of a fire (in an
appropriate fireplace) and some fiashpowder.
First lower or turn out the lights in the room ancf pose
the sitter in front
of the fire. This
should be stirred
to a blaze to en¬
able you to study
the best effect of
the firelight itself.
The lights can
now be raised
again. Measure
out the amount of
fiashpowder
necessary, accord¬
ing to the instruc¬
tions given with
the particular
make of powder,
the distance to
be reckoned being
that from the fire
to the sitter, and
put the powder
in a piece of thin
paper. The cor¬
ners of this little
paper packet
should be twisted
lightly together,
but must not be
screwed tightly,
otherwise when
the flash goes off.
bits of burning
paper may fly off into the room, to the sitter’s discomfiture.
Now fix up the camera on a tripod or other firm stand,
and focus on the sitter’s face, for which purpose it may be
advisable to get him or her to hold a lighted candle as near
the face as possible, and at the same distance from the
camera, i.e., not between the camera and the face. You can
then focus on the candle flame and then insert your plate
in the camera. In the case of a roll-film camera the focus¬
sing scale must be used and the distance carefully measured.
It is usually better to leave the room light on to avoid
too black and undetailed shadows, and if the lens is only
open for a few seconds, slight movement on the sitter’s
part will not register (hypersensitive panchromatic plates
or films should
not be used), but
a card must be
hung just in front
of the room light
to prevent it
shining into the
camera lens.
A screen must
now be arranged
to hide at least half
the fire from the
camera, and then
the lens can be
opened and the
paper containing
the fiashpowder
placed in the fire
in the corner pro¬
tected by the
screen from the
camera, care be¬
ing taken that the
powder is not
lodged behind a
large lump of coal
so that it cannot
shine on to the
sitter.
This placing of
the fiashpowder in
the fire is the
item that requires
greatest care, or it may go off too soon and the operator
will be included in the picture. For this reason the best
plan is to hold it in a loop at the end of a long piece of
stiff wire, which can then be gently placed in position
round the corner into the fire. The lens should be closed
immediately after the flash. F/8 is a good stop to use.
If a gas or electric fire is used, the powder can be fired
in the usual way, setting it up just beside the fire, and
screening it from the camera.
HEATING THE DARK-ROOM
IN houses where electricity is installed the heating of the
dark-room presents no difficulties. I have experimented
with many methods of heating, but have scrapped them
all in favour of the tubular heaters. They quickly warm up
the dark-room to the required temperature, but at the same
time do not illuminate it, so that panchromatic plates can
be developed in safety. ,
In addition to warming the room, the electric tubular
heater can be fixed in such a position that the developing,
fixing and washing dishes are all kept at a working temperature.
My method is to fix to the wall a shelf made of wooden
slats, upon which the dishes are placed. The heater is then
fixed to the wall a few inches below the shelf, so that the
warmth from the electric heater rises between the slats of the
shelf and circulates freely around the jlishes.
These electrical heaters can be obtained from most electrical
stores and cost about 12s. for a three-foot length, which is suf¬
ficient to heat 100 cubic feet of atmosphere to 55 degrees Fahr.
The consumption of current is very small, especially when
the dark-room is heated only when developing or printing is
being done. G. F. Gardiner.

6 CIHEMATOQRAPHER o
Slill Life.
The vogue which seemingly for lack of another
epithet is called “ Modern,” has been invading
photographic pictorialism for some time. In
some quarters this trend has been loudly de¬
nounced as entirely lacking in beauty. The belief that art
is perforce beauty is so ingrained in the creed of the average
man, that to see on the walls of an exhibition professedly
devoted to pictorial photography some weird subject, por¬
trayed with all the photographic skill that the worker is
capable of as its apparent sole merit, comes as a rude shock.
The print is surveyed with a critical eye (and our average
man is a law unto himself — in his own opinion — on art) and
accordingly to the tenets of art is found wanting. Compo¬
sition in the “ modern ” picture is usually entirely absent,
literary appeal is often nil, romance there is none.
Yet cannot a good word
be found for such efforts ?
There is one thing that
must count in the “ mod¬
ern ” print without excep¬
tion : the worker sets
himself the task to achieve
his result by the aid of
photography alone. Let us
not blind our eyes to the
painful fact that pictorial
photography in the usual
picture often requires,
in order to attain success, a
httle judicious helping with
another form otf art (or
craft). The bromoil process
is outstanding in this
respect.
We think the workers in
the “ modern ” school have
realised that the camera, be¬
ing able at only very rare
intervals to record the effects
of Nature, are trying to
create a different form of
art expression altogether, in
which the result must exist Buildings and Steps.

In conclusion, ‘‘ modern ” work is just as interesting as
any other branch of our unending hobby. It will make
more demands on the amateur’s technical powers, and will
need the cultivation of the “ seeing eye ” as much as does
orthodo.x pictorialism. It is a bit, maybe, above the head
of the raw beginner, who dashes only at the popular sub¬
ject, blindly passing by the subtle beauties that lie before
him. At the same time, any type of camera may be used,
but, if the maximum technical perfection is desired, pan¬
chromatic plates or films are essential.

when the camera was actually set to include a figure by
the wooden rail as a fill-up to the otherwise empty road.
How often do we photographers get a like subject that just
needs something to turn it into a picture, and must envy
the painter who forms most of his pictures as he wishes.
The other prints in comparison at once strike a different
note. Their appeal, if any, is purely decorative, and their
beauty the superb drawing by the lens of line and form
plus the rendering by the plate of a whole chord of tones
around a pattern that is in none along the prescribed rules
that art lays down.
Heretical art, you may say ; but who is the j udge of art
— the creator or the critic ?
The object of this note is not to defend “ modern ”
pictures. Let them live by their own worth if live they
can. Who knows but, that the future of photography lies
along the path most suited to the inherent capacities of
our medium, provided always that our results have that

A Novel Daylight Developing Tank for Roll Films
As every encouragement is now
being offered the amateur photo-
^ grapher to develop and print his
own negatives, the new "Optichrom
Automat” daylight developing tank will
prove a most acceptable accessory for
the regular user of roll films.
This tank is an ingeniously contrived
piece of apparatus, and unlike some
products of the enthusiastic inventor’s
optimism it works, and it has real
practical value.
for the film,. The novelty of the tank
is its ability to separate the roll film

retaining and coiling the film on a
specially designed spool while the paper
is drawn out through an opening in the .
side of the outer shell.
The developer is then poured into
the tank and is drawn off again after
the negative is developed. Fi.xing and
washing are conducted in the same
manner, and the film is not removed
until finished. The whole operation can
be conducted in daylight without risk
of fog, and is ideal for the modern
panchromatic film that must be kept in
complete darkness during development.
Very full instructions for use are is¬
sued with the tank, and if these are
studied carefully and a trial made with
a dummy spool there appears to be
no occasion for failures.

THE “CELFIX” PROJECTOR
A HOME cine projector that will
attract hundreds of amateur
cinematographers is the new
“Celfix” which has just been put on the
market by Messrs. R. F. Hunter, Ltd.,
"Celfix House,” 51, Gray’s Inn Road,
W.C.r. This apparatus has many fea¬
tures of novelty that will appeal to the
practical worker, notably as a universal
apparatus for
both i6-mm.
and 9.5-mm.
film.
A feature
that is partic¬
ularly attrac¬
tive is the ease
with which the
change over
from 9.5-mm.
to i6-mm., or
vice versa, can
be effected.
There are
numerous
workers to -day who are either using both
sizes of taking apparatus or have changed
over from one to the other and have a
collection of spools of film of both sizes
in their possession. The " Celfix ” makes
the showing of both of these a matter of
simplicity, as the nec'essary readjustment
can be effected literally in a few seconds.
This is done by the simple movement of
a lever and replacing one film sprocket
reel and film guide with the sprocket and
guide for the other size. The whole of
this can be done easily and quickly with
the fingers, and without the aid of tools.
The apparatus itself is sturdily made
to withstand hard wear, and all the
parts have been selected and tested for
their respective functions before being
assembled. The picture projected by
the "Celfix” is of unusual brilliance, and
the makers claim that this is equal to
that given by projectors having lamps
of nearly double the wattage. This is
achieved by the use of a condenser
reflector unit, and there is no doubt that
in practice the claim is made good.
The apparatus has a very efficient
cooling system, which becomes still more
effective when " still ” pictures are
being projected. ‘ This is an important
point, as many projectors which claim to
be able to project " still ” pictures
blister the film after a very short stop.
With the "Celfix,” prolonged projection
of any single frame from the film in use
does not appear to have any bad effect.
In addition to this " still ’’ feature, for
which a hand control is provided, the
film can be projected forwards or back¬
wards at will.
The projection speed is electrically
regulated, and all controls are very
conveniently placed to the hand of the
operator. The lens is a 2-in. Dallmeyer
" Superlite,” which still further assists
the brilliancy of the picture. The
apparatus is fitted with adjustable screw
feet, mounted on rubber, giving great
stability on uneven surfaces.
The price, complete for 9.5-mm. and
i6-mm. film (with reels for showing
400-ft. of film) and fitted with 250-watt,
iio-volt lamp (A.C. or D.C.), in strong
fibre-lined carrying-case, is £2-] los.
Resistance for higher voltages can be
supplied at an extra charge of /i 17s. 6d.

UNSOUGHT SUBJECTS.
HERE are some photographic specialists who are so
wrapped up in their own particular subject that they
- seem absolutely blind to all others. A man out for
NOTES t NOTIONS

WORKER
I think this is a mistake. It is quite right that the specialist
should concentrate on his subject, but he need not therefore
go about in blinkers.
It is my own practice to keep my weather eye open.
(I am not at all sure what that means, but it sounds as
though it means what 1 want it to mean.) It is a good
thing to have, and to cultivate, powers of visual observa¬
tion, not only when we are carrying a camera, but at all
times ; and it is also a good thing, when we do have a
camera, to be ready and able to use it on any promising
subject. Incidentally, this habit of mine of regarding as
fish all that comes into my photographic net, has been of
considerable financial benefit, and I shall have a word to
say on this point presently.
Recently, I wanted one or two subjects that had to be
taken from Bank Side. Conditions were favourable, and
I not only secured the subjects, but sold them. On my way,
however, I also took the subjects shown in Figs, i and 3,
which are about as different from those I was out for as
possible. Fig. 3 was in the nature of an experiment. I
want it with one or two men busying themselves on this
wharf, and one of these days 1 shall find it like that.
The subject in Fig. 1 is in a short street mainly filled
with large modern buildings. But in one spot there is a
quiet garden surrounded by old almshouses, and these and
the old cottage have so far been spared. Not far from
the cottage is the site of the old Globe Theatre, and it is
highly probable that when the cottage was rather spick
and span, Shakespeare’s eyes must often have rested on it
as he passed. Its age warrants the belief, and, anyhow,
I consider the subject was worth an exposure.

1 was exploring Dedham and the surrounding country,
immortalised in many of the paintings of Constable. I
suppose I had some optimistic idea of making Constable
landscapes with a camera ; if so, I can only say that my
optimism was far from justified by results. But I got a
good many interesting records, and a number of them
turned out to be quij;e a success from the financial stand¬
point.
This is not the place to tell the story of the group of
buildings of which Fig. 2 shows one corner. They belong
to the old days when Flemish weavers settled in our eastern
counties, and laid the foundation of the woollen industry,
which transferred itself to the Yorkshire coalfields when
the age of steam arrived. Some of the buildings have
been modernised, but bits remain in their original quaint¬
ness and beauty.
One Dedham family especially controlled the local wool¬
len industry, and so flourished that they entirely rebuilt
the church. One of the features of this flne building is a
porchway with an elaborately carved vaulted roof, and
amongst the devices are to be found several of the mer¬
chants’ marks used by the weavers in their commerce.
I remember photographing part of the roof, by a device
that is sometimes possible, and often useful. 1 focussed on
a distance equal to that from the floor to the roof, stopped
down the lens, put the camera on the floor with the
lens pointing to the roof, and gave the necessary time
exposure.
By reason of the trade-marks the roof is connected with
the weavers’ houses, as, indeed, is the whole church. The
photographs thus become adapted for illustrating the very
interesting story of the early weavers of Dedham, and thus
acquire a definite commercial value. They are not of the
topical character which so many amateur photographers
try to secure in the hope of obtaining fees from newspapers — ■
by no means an easy task. But there are still magazines
and publications of a general rather than a topical character
to which such illustrations and articles are attractive.
My chief point is that we should be on the watch for
anything of the sort, even when we are looking for other
3-
subjects ; and we shall often. pick up interesting records
whether or not they have a commercial value.

Simplicity of Gaslight Printing ^
Gaslight printing is by no means
a diflicult task, yet beginners are
sometimes deterred by initial
failures — failures which are due only
to lack of experience regarding the
essential processes and which would
disappear with the gaining of that
experience. By this, it must not be
inferred that such processes are at all
intricate ; but since they form the
basis of ultimate success it is necessary
that their importance be properly
appreciated.
The important operations are but two
in number. They are (a) exposure and
(b) development. Neither is more im¬
portant than the other ; but we may
discuss them in the order in which they
are encountered during practical work.
To estimate the exposure necessary
with any negative and a given brand of
gaslight paper, it is desirable to make
use of the practical and well-tried
method of the trial strip. This is now
so well known that a description is
hardly warranted, but for the benefit
of newcomers to the hobby it might be
said that the object of the method is to
compare (after development) the results
of different exposures and to select from
them that which is most satisfactory.
Needless to say, the strip upon which
the exposures are made must always be
a piece cut from or supplied with the
actual batch of paper to be used when
making the ultimate prints.
To make the exposures, the strip
should be placed in contact with the
negative over a range of fairly even
densities, after which the whole may be
inserted in the printing-frame as usual.
About five exposures should be made,
all at a distance of, say, 2 ft. from a
30-watt " Pearl ” or similar type lamp.
After covering about four-hfths of
the negative with a blackened card, the
first exposure of 4 secs, should be made.
Then, withdrawing the card over a
further one-fifth of the negative, a
second exposure of 4 secs, may be given,
and so on until the fifth and last exposure.
The most accurate exposure for the
batch in question can be judged on glanc¬
ing at the developed test-strip. But this
must be developed according to accurate
methods or the trial will be useless.
It is always essential — except, perhaps,
in expert “ manipulation ” — to develop
to what is known as finality. This is the
point at which contrasts appear at their
maximum. But it need not mean that
the result will be a contrasty picture,
since the manufacturers have introduced
a variety of papers which — assuming de¬
velopment to finality — embrace a selection
of qualities ranging from delicate softness
to black-and-white hardness.
The period of immersion necessary to
reach this point varies somewhat with
the different papers in popular use ;
but most manufacturers are now sending
out instructional pamphlets giving ap¬
proximate times for full development
under familiar conditions.
As soon as development is complete
the print is rinsed in plain water and
transferred to an acid fixing bath. This
immediately stops all further action.
Fixing is continued for 15 minutes, and
the prints are then washed in running
water or a dozen changes and dried. A.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
photographic papers and magazines
has also been a great help to me in
teaching me the essentials of technique.
I have little time for retouching,
and this has caused me to rely very
largely on technique ; good crafts¬
manship and care in selection obviate
a great deal of the need for retouching
and faking, which all too often is used
to make up for technical defects. All
the same, I have no objection to
control where control will improve
the photograph.
“ Of films and plates I have tried
most makes, and found that for all
ordinary subjects one is as good as
another. By far the most successful
spool I have ever taken was a strip of
four taken on a cheap film in a cheap
camera one winter’s day in January.
The exposures made on that film of
four brought me a silver cup, six
prizes, numerous reproduction fees,
and twenty-two acceptances in open
exhibitions, including the Royal.
“ For landscape work in which the
rendering .of skies is an important
matter, I generally use Selochrome or
Selo panchromatic film, with a filter
which has a 2 x factor for such films.
“ The cameras I use include a
Sanderson, a Zodel de Luxe, a Voigt-
lander Brilliant, and a Kodak 1a.
The make of camera and the price
thereof are not really as important as
the way the camera is used. Any
camera and any film will, in ordinary
conditions, and with proper usage,
give perfect results.
“ Developing I do by the time and
temperature method, modified slightly
according to subject, and somewhat
controlled by inspection. As to sub¬
jects, I specialise in pictorial photo¬
graphy, especially landscape work at
home and abroad ; in architectural
photography, especially telephoto¬
graphic and misericorde work ; and in
lantern-slide making. The photographs
reproduced are, I think, typical of
the work which most appeals to me.”
” TT was in 1931, five years after
I had taken my first photo¬
graph, that my exhibition work
began. In August of that year I took
the plunge properly, and did a rash
and unwise thing in submitting a
batch of prints for the annual ex¬
hibition of the Royal Photographic
Society ; unwise, because the beginner
should always go forward by stages,
starting with the smaller open ex¬
hibitions, and only going on to submit
to the major exhibitions after months
of experience. However, much to
my surprise, I had four acceptances,
and this proved to be the beginning
of a great deal of exhibition work.
“ Exhibition work can only be
learnt by studying the prints, and
listening to the advice of others. I
never fail to visit exhibitions in the
vicinity ; there is a great deal to be
learnt from them. I do not mean to
imply that the works therein should
be copied, but that one should learn
from them the essentials of composi¬
tion and technique, and the elements
of design and effect. If one cannot
visit exhibitions, one can buy such
productions as ‘ Photograms of the
Year ’ and ' The Year’s Photography,’
and study the art pages of The Amateur
Photographer and other magazines to
see what good work really is.
'■ Helpful criticism from a photo¬
graphic society is an important item
in the would-be exhibitor’s equipment.
I have profited greatly from advice
given me by members of the Harrogate
and the Leeds University photographic
societies, both by word of mouth and
by travelling portfolios. Careful criti¬

PICTURES of the WEEK
Some Critkal Comments “ ”
There is quite an interesting
night study in No. 5 of the
prints reproduced on the op¬
posite page — “Liverpool : St. George’s
Hall,” by A. Crighton — and how far
a subject of this kind is enhanced by
the presence of wet pavements is
well exemplified. The print is also
interesting in that, contrary to the
usual run, the difficulty of handling
unscreened lights is not avoided by
their omission ; nor does it seem to be
fully appreciated, for one of them is
boldly treated as the centre of interest
and another group is introduced as a
balancing accent.
Night and Day.
The inclusion of lights in this way,
however, is seldom feasible. Whether
it can be done or not depends, to some
extent, on the characteristics of the
lens, and, again, on the nature of the
negative emulsion. Some of the very
best of lenses are apt to let one down
when subjects of this kind are at¬
tempted. They either render the
light with certain peculiarities, or
produce ghost images in other parts
of the picture, and freak markings are
not unknown.
If unbacked plates are employed, a
spreading of light — known as halation
— causes a partial obliteration of the
image in their vicinity, and, either
with plates or films, there is not
infrequently a similar effect arising
from a spreading of light within the
emulsion itself, the latter being de¬
scribed as irradiation.
In the print under discussion, it is
somewhat curious to note that, while
the spreading of light is not marked
in the case of the one in chief — that
on the right — those forming the group
on the left show it to an appreciably
greater extent. Possibly this is ex¬
plainable, in a measure, by the angle
at which the rays from the lens
strike the sensitive surface — the more
acute the angle, the greater the
spreading — but, however arising, it is
only to a limited extent that the
defect is tolerable.
Halation and Irradiation.
The light on the right might be re¬
garded as acceptable, but those on
the left appear as an unfortunate
feature that would be better omitted.
Whether it be due to halation or
irradiation — it is impossible to say
which in the absence of full technical
data — there is no doubt but that the
impression it conveys is too exagger¬
ated to be truthful.
In these circumstances, and while
the experiment has provided a useful
lesson, it indicates that the wiser
course is to follow the general practice,
and, as far as possible, arrange for
naked lights to be hidden or excluded
from the subject content. Apart from
this, the subject is undoubtedly at¬
tractive and capably dealt with. It
illustrates a class of work that is more
easily essayed in the coming winter
months- than in the summer, for the
opportunities are greater, and con¬
ditions generally more amenable.
Another subject from the same
city is to be seen in No. 2, “ An Early
Start,” by Edgar Honnor, where the
sunshine of early morning forms the
motive, and provides a contrast in
type. The print is a bit on the heavy
side, but the subject is well thought
out and the figure beautifully caught.
Printing Depth.
It is probable that the idea in
carrying the printing to such a depth
was to obtain a suggestion of grada¬
tion in the brighter passages, but,
owing to the somewhat extreme
differences between the lights and
the darks, the expedient has involved
an overprinting in the latter.
This is a case where the choice of a
softer grade of printing paper is indi¬
cated, for, with its longer range of
tone, it would be able to render both
extremes without over-emphasis in
either direction. No. 6, " Morning at
the ‘ Red Lion by Miss J. Bryan, has
a range of about the same degree ; but,
here, the needed adjustment has
apparently been made, for, while the
sunlit portions display all the vital
distinctions they possess, the shadows
are likewise not without their measure
of gradation.
No. 2, however, appears to have
the advantage as far as the figure is
concerned, for she seems to display
no indication of a knowledge of the
presence of the camera, while in No. 6
there is more than a suspicion of
camera-consciousness. A comparison
plainly shows the desirability of avoid¬
ing a feature such as this.
Similar Characteristics.
A variation on a theme of similar
characteristics is provided by Mr. T.
G. Torkill in No. 3, " Vista of Kirk
Street,” but, in this instance, the
lighter tones lose some of their values
through a measure of underprinting
rather than an error in the opposite
direction or the choice of an unsuitable
grade of paper.
A back view of the figure is shown,
and, while it is preferable that the
features should be visible, camera-
consciousness can scarcely make an
appearance. The print, in common
with Nos. 2 and 6, has points of
attraction, but, on the whole, “ An
Early Start ” achieves the highest
pictorial level — or would if the re¬
commendations made concerning its
treatment were carried out.
The principle has been carried out,
again, in No. 4, “ Cavalry Memorial,”
by Miss Phyllis Roney, though, in
place of the living figure, a piece of
statuary is included.
Dark against Light.
It serves quite well as the centre of
interest, nevertheless, and the value
of utilising the concentration of inter¬
est afforded by contrasts of extremes
of tone is again exemplified.
The subject, however, seems to be
one that would be more suitably
treated by being shown the vertical
way of the plate, and here, again, a
greater depth of printing seems to be
called for. It would provide just a
little more distinction of tone in the
bright tone of the buildings which
form the background.
No. I, “ Assah Escarpment,” by D. S.
Foulkes-Roberts, more nearly ap¬
proaches the ideal as far as depth of
printing is concerned, but just a
shade more depth would do no harm,
particularly in the upper reaches of
the sky. The feeling of space and
light is nicely suggested, and the
employment of the curiously isolated
trees is not only clever but decidedly
interesting. It would, however, have
been an advantage if it had been
found possible to include a somewhat
greater proportion of sky.

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
^‘^THE COCONUT FETCHER,” hy Alfred Eisenstaedt.
Though the nature of the trees
is entirely different, and other
distinctions are apparent, this
picture, in a way, is reminiscent of
the work by G. L. Hawkins, entitled
“ Autumn,” which was discussed in
these columns in the issue for the
31st of last month.
Distinctions and Differences.
In both instances the trees
are displayed against a back¬
ground of clouded sky. In
both the trees are shown
under the influence of sun¬
shine, and their brightness
of tone, at intervals, ap¬
preciably exceeds that of the
sky.
The rendering of sunshine
and the silhouetting of the
trees is much about the same
in effect, but, here, the ab¬
sence of a foreground is
marked ; the clouds do not
attain the same significance
by any means ; there is a
cross lighting as compared
with the more frontal il¬
lumination of the other ; and
the incorporation of the hu¬
man element makes a further
distinction, and a decided
difference. Moreover, the
tropical character of the trees
and their foliage lends a note
of unfamiliarity that imparts
a touch of novelty to the
presentment.
In connection with the lack
of foreground, there is, in¬
evitably, some loss of stability.
It is largely countered, as far
as its adverse effect is con¬
cerned, by the importation
of the figure (i), and the
presence of strong lights and darks in
the upper portion towards the left-
hand corner (2). These features incline
the attention away from the base, and
the absence of a firm foundation is not
so severely felt in consequence. On
the other hand, the brighter notes of
the clouds (3) incline towards an
opposing pull, and the good effect of
the lighter notes above is naturally
somewhat diminished.
In the balance, the pull of the figure
and the accents in question just about
overweigh the other features, and
prevent the lack of stability from
assuming too great a significance.
Human Interest.
The figure, in point of fact, derives
considerable importance from the note
of human interest he excites. Being
the only element of this nature, his
attraction is greater as an animate
body in what, for all practical pur¬
poses, are inanimate surroundings.
That attraction is stressed by the
way his figure is isolated or shown in
silhouette against the sky ; to some
extent by the contrast of tone within
his outline ; and, to an appreciable
degree, by force of position.
Despite his small scale, all these
factors in combination assure his dom¬
inance unquestionably, and, by the
power of his a4;traction, the loss in sta¬
bility is pretty effectively minimised.
The cross lighting limits those
portions of the tree trunks that are
shown in sunshine. It is also inchned
to stress' the depth of tone in the
shadows. Consequently, strong lights
and darks are displayed in juxtapo¬
sition. This, compared with the gen¬
erally flat effect of a frontal lighting,
tends towards vitality and strength
of presentment, and, as previously
mentioned, the position of
these lights is not without
influence in avoiding .some¬
thing of the suggestion of in¬
stability. In addition, their
placing at the top of the print,
in conjunction with the light
tones of the clouds at the
base, emphasises the figure
which occurs in between.
In the former example, it
will be remembered that the
effect of sunshine found ex¬
pression both in the cloud
and in its influence upon the
principal tree, any suggestion
of divided interest being
avoided by the placing of
the two in close proximity.
Here, the brightest notes are
those at the top on the tree
trunks, those of the clouds
at the base, and, some little
way behind, the light on the
figure. It might be thought,
perhaps, that the placing of
the lights at the extremes
of the picture — at the top
and base — would tend to
disperse the attraction by a
division of interest, and, were
it not for the figure and his
unquestionable predominance,
such a state of affairs might
arise.
Unity of Interest.
The position of those lights, however,
is weak, and they do not possess the
same power of drawing the attention
that they would if they were more in
the picture, and their influence, com¬
pared with that of the figure, is negligible.
He forms the main point of attrac¬
tion, chiefly by power of placing, and,
instead of creating a division of
interest, the fights in question em¬
phasise his significance and enable his
predominance to secure a sense of
unity. ‘‘ Mentor.”

DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — In view of correspondence regarding expensive tanks,
I beg to submit the following :
(1) Lay the apron unrolled and flat on the table, rubber
edges upward, and place a weight on the far end. Turn
out the light. Remove film from its papers and stick one end
on to far end df apron with adhesive tape. With emulsion side
up unroll the film along the length of the apron toward you,
and stick this end down a little nearer you than where it natur¬
ally falls. This ensures film being a little tighter than apron.
Roll apron, film side outward, maintaining gentle tension
against the weight. Place an elastic band around the roll.
N.B.- — Tight rolling essential. Have everything ready to hand.
(2) Place a second band running across the ends of the roll,
engage therein a hook made from a safety-pin, and lower the roll
into a workman’s tea can containing the developer. Agitate to
remove bubbles, and place on the lid, which should have a
deep flange to exclude light.
(3) Thereafter as usual — agitating the tank occasionally.
After use dry and heat metal part to prevent rust.
The total cost, including a Kodak 2|-in. apron, is about
5s. I have had one failure due to neglectfully slack winding.
N.B. — Film cannot stick to paper. — Yours, etc.,
W. R. PARKER.
Sir, — May I, as a user of the Agfa tank, correct Mr. E. K.
Robins’ statement that certain films cannot be developed in
this tank.
Films attached at each end to the backing paper certainly
require more care and persuasion, but after a little experience
one can load them without difficulty. Anyone who follows
the instructions carefully need have no fear of disappointment.
Also films can safely be washed in the tank, provided the
flush of water is gentle, and the tap not turned full on. It is
not possible to assemble the parts incorrectly, as they will not
correspond.
Having developed several different makes of film with
satisfaction, I can recommend the tank. One does have to
exercise a little care in removing airbells. — Yours, etc.,
C. J. BENNETT.
HOW CAN WE ADVANCE ?
Sir, — Mr. Geo. A. Slight, in his letter " How can we ad¬
vance ? ” in a recent issue of The Amateur Photographer , hits
the photographic nail squarely on the head.
" Mystery, romance and story in photography ” is, I feel
certain, the path along which we must advance. I shall look
forward to an article by Mr. Slight along this line at an early
date. He has seen the light ! — Yours, etc.,
A. GREENSLADE.
“ D. AND P.”
Sir, — Kindly allow me a little space in your columns to join
those amateur photographers who have a “ grouse ” against
the professional dealer.
Some time ago I sent a panchromatic roll film to a local
dealer, duly labelled “ panchromatic.” When same was
returned to me, I found that the clips suspending the film in
the tank had ruined my last negative.
Upon making enquiries I was informed that it was very
difficult to clip the film so as to avoid the last negative, as
the operations had to be carried out “ in the dark ” !
My film wallet was marked, ” Develop only, pan., gd.”
If a dealer professes to develop and print films, at least he
requires to be familiar with the technique of handling same.
And by all means let’s be provided with one service for the
“ button presser ” and one for the worker who likes his nega¬
tives at least free from scratches and uneven density due to
faulty drying. I have had some of both. — Yours, etc.,
W. H. LEWIS.
NEGATIVE FILING AND BROMIDE PAPER SIZES.
Sir, — Referring to the admirable article by M. Hirst, on the
filing of negatives, he says ; ” One last word of warning.
Always see that the negative is replaced in the correct position
in the file, otherwise chaos will result.” True, but how is one
to know quickly where in the file a particular negative is to go ?
I suggest that to make the system complete there must be a
linking-up number on the rebate of the negative ! But what
is one to use to write on celluloid film ? Ink ? No. Pencil ?
No. Copying Ink pencil ? No. Then what ?
Just a grumble to conclude. Why is it now that the 2j-in.
square twin-lens reflex is so popular that one has such difficulty
to obtain all the sundries one wants suitable to the size.
The sundries men tell me there is no demand. Rot ! No
demand with Rolleiflex, Superb, Rolleicord, Foth-Fle.x, Welta,
Perfecta, Brilliant, all of this size, and thousands of people
using them.
Why is it absolutely impossible for me to buy a piece of
bromide paper for enlarging up on the zjxzj in. ratio ? If
the English makers allow the Germans to capture the trade in
this size cameras there is no reason why they (the Englishmen)
should not have a few of the crumbs in the shape of the neces¬
sary sized sundries. — Yours, etc., J. L. SLADE.
MAKING UP DEVELOPER.
Sir, — My own e.xperience is that it matters not at all in
what order the various chemicals contained in M.Q. developer
are dissolved. My chemist always puts the metol hydroqui-
none, sodium sulphite, and sodium carbonate all into one
packet, and all I do is to merely tip the lot into the requisite
amount of warm water, afterwards adding the bromide. I
once had a bother with developer turning black, and the
trouble was traced to using water that had been boiled in an
iron kettle. Since heating the water in a tin kettle I have had
no further trouble. — Yours, etc., F. J. OSBORNE.
THE COMPUR SHUTTER.
Sir, — Re your recent article on Compur shutters, the
following experience of mine during this summer may be of
interest.
I made a number of rapid exposures on the sands, using the
delayed action.
On one occasion I set the shutter at i /250th of a second and
then set the delayed action, and went into the picture. The ex¬
posure was never made, and the shutter was quite out of action.
A Compur specialist in Hull took ten days to put it right ;
he wrote to the makers for a spare part and explained what I
had I been doing.
They replied quite definitely that the delayed action will
not work with the i /250th of a second.
They explained that the same spring works both the D.A.
and the specially fast 250th, hut it will not work both together.
—Yours, etc., A. WILFRID TODD.
THE MINIATURE POSTAL PORTFOLIO.
Sir,— Presuming that it will be the intention of the proposed
P.M.P.P. (South Africa) to adopt the Photographic Miniature
Postal Portfolio (Britain) as its parent body, the publication
of the letter re this in The Amateur Photographer is yet
another instance of the quiet way in which ” The A.P.” takes
part in fostering the co-operation of the amateur photographers
of the world, and (probably) thereby better understanding
between nations of the world.
As Hon. General Secretary of these portfolios I can promise
that we shall be most pleased to co-operate with similar bodies
abroad, and such knowledge or ideas, etc., that we have ac¬
cumulated will be fully at their disposal.
In passing, it may be interesting for your readers to note that
we are contemplating forming two special portfolios : one for
absolute beginners, and another for very advanced workers.
Enquiries should be addressed to ; 18, Ewelme Road, Forest
Hill, London, S.E.23. — Yours, etc., GEO. A. SLIGHT.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINfi APPARATUS.
Cinematography
Screen Psychology By R. H. ALDER.
Galileo was executed bv his
contemporaries for suggesting
that the earth rotated under the
sun instead of the sun going round the
earth ; they regarded him as a
revolutionary who wanted to turn the
world upside down.
The popular habit of thought which
ended the subversive philosopher per¬
sists to this day, notwithstanding lip-
service to astronomical theory. Despite
Einstein we do not believe that the
landscape moves past the carriage
window ; we prefer to say that we are
moving through the landscape.
In the cinema the screen is a window
fixed in space, through which we look
on a fragment of the world. If there
is any relative movement our habit of
thought makes us feel that it is we
who have moved, not the screen, nor
the fixed objects beyond it.
Moving the Audience,
To watch a tracking shot is proof
of this — the audience has a feeling of
actually moving about the set. A
sudden change to very high angle will
even make the more imaginative
throw t)ack their heads in an attempt
to adjust their eyes to the proper
inclination.
Ihis psychological reaction, often
overlooked, has a very real bearing on
the work of the cameraman. Every¬
one knows it is bad to pan. quickly ;
the reason is here evident. When the
pan. is projected it appears either that
the landscape has travelled across the
window or that the onlooker has been
rapidly swung from one side to the other.
Ingrained habit tells us that land¬
scapes do not move. Therefore we
subconsciously accept the alternative,
and our emotional reaction is that of
a man hurled across the room.
High Jump.
But it is not only in panning that
this effect must be borne in mind ; the
vertical angle affects us also. When an
eye-level shot is followed by a high-
angle view of the same scene we feel
distinctly elevated, exhilarated. Simi¬
larly a drop to low-angle gives that
catch in the breath when " your heart
is in your mouth,” a feeling of awe
or even fear.
Occasionally such motional shocks
are legitimate. But when high and
low angles rapidly alternate the audi¬
ence feels nothing but that Channel¬
crossing nausea.
The same principle answers the
question often asked in club circles —
and often argued in circles, too ! —
whether a particular close shot .should
be taken literally close-up or alterna¬
tively with a long-focus lens ?
When we are introduced to some¬
thing new it is habitual to step up and
look closely at it, and then to move
back and examine it in its surround¬
ings. The cinematic equivalent is to
use a medium-angle lens both for
close and medium shots.
True Perspective.
But when the director, in the middle
of a medium shot, wants to concen¬
trate attention on a small action such
as a hand filching documents, it is
time for the cameraman to bring the
four-inch lens round in the turret.
Otherwise everyone in the audience
feels as if he had suddenly juntped
into the set for a close view and had
been rudely thrown out again.
Some students of montage will
laugh scornfully at this theory. Fol¬
lowing their motto of ‘‘ cut and come
again,” they build celluloid jig-saws
of restless pattern.
Fortunately they are favoured by
the fact that the sensation of bodily
displacement is less pronounced when
different objects form the shots which
succeed one another rapidly on the
screen. We recognise that a room
may have more than one window and
that the eye can dart from one to the
other.
The Hunting Field now offers many fine opportunities for the amateur cinematographer .
Unusual viewpoints or striking lighting effects, similar to the above, will help to enliven
an otherwise hackneyed subject.
20

November 14th, 1934
But the reaction, though subdued, is
still there. Close examination of the
work of acknowledged masters of
montage .shows that, consciously or
not, they have appreciated that
rhythm is an abstract of the dance —
it is a relationship of time and
space and not merely of time
periods.
Rhythmic Cutting.
A series of carefully-cut unrelated
shots, simply by giving the sensation
of moving with different rhythms in
time and space, can induce in the
viewers the swirl of the valse, the
glide of the fox-trot, or the throbbing
of innumerable tribal dances that
hammer out the elemental passions.
ih! amateur photographer
^ 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER g
but the same shots cut with regard to
time only can jerk the audience into
a battered pulp.
At fun fairs there used to be an
“ attraction ” called the Whip, which
literally threw its patrons about in
little padded chairs. Some people
may like two hours of that. But not
many !
The Cine Exhibition at Russell Square
The Royal Photographic Society is to be congratulated
on the success of its efforts in the interests of amateur
' cinematography. The exhibition now open at the
R.P.S. house, 35, Russell Square, W.C.i, continues the story
started two years ago when a very fine historical exhibition
of cinematography was staged. On that occasion, as our
readers will remember, all the elements that went to make up
the early work in motion photography, both for the professional
and the amateur, were to be seen, and the history of this
modern miracle could be traced step by step. ,
This year the exhibition coneerns itself more particularly
with the latest results and the most up-to-date apparatus
that are available for the amateur cinematographer. These
include several sound-film units in sub-standard size, a. develop¬
ment whieh will open up a new field in home and educational
cinematography.
The exhibition was opened on Tuesday of last week by
Mr. S. Rowson, and our readers will be well advised to visit
it at an early moment, if only for investigating the very complete
display of apparatus that is to be seen in the two lower rooms.
Not the least attraetive part of the show, however, is the
collection of “ still " photographs from professional and
amateur films on view in the main gallery. Many of these
films have not yet been released, but the chief interest in this
section for the visitor will be the treatment of the different
subjects portrayed, and the photographs taken in various
well-known cin6 studios during the production of big films.
In several of these the entire set is shown with cameras and
lights at work, and give a clear idea of the magnitude of the
task involved in the making of a modern “ movie.”
Some of the stills from amateur films are also interesting,
but the fact remains that while these are extremely good, in
some , cases they suffer by comparison with the professional
productions. They, nevertheless, are an indication of the
enthusiasm for this particular phase of amateur theatricals
performed in front of a cine camera.
Work by practically all the professional production cor¬
porations in this country is on view. These include Gaumont-
British Picture Corporation, Ltd. (Gainsborough Pictures
and Gaumont-British Pictures) ; London Film Productions ;
Twickenham Film Studios, Ltd. ; British International Pictures,
Ltd., and British Lion Film Corporation, Ltd. The amateur pro¬
duction societies whose work is shown include the Beckenham
Cine Society, G. G. Productions, Maestro Productions, Apex
Motion Pictures, Ace Movies, Teeside Cine Club, Brondesbury
Cine Society, Bolton A.C.A. and Martin Cross Productions.
The apparatus section will be found the most attractive to
many. The following firms are represented :
The British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., of Rugby, who
show a new i6-mm. sound-film projector with many outstand¬
ing improvements.
Cinepro, Ltd., i. New Burlington Street, Regent Street, W.i,
who are the sole distributors of Siemens and Halske cine

Road, Catford, S.E.6, has a projector to take alternatively
8-mm., 9.5-nim., or i6-mm. films, and a full range of cine
cameras ; J. A. Sinclair, Ltd., 3, Whitehall, S.W.i, show the
Newman-Sinclair Auto Kine camera and other models of their
well-known professional apparatus.
Soho, I.td., 3, Soho Square, W.i, show the Kalee projectors
which hitherto have been associated only with 35-mm. pro¬
fessional work. Their new introduction is for i6-mm., and
is shown under the name of the ” Kalee ” N.P.3 Projector ;
Sands Hunter & Co., Ltd., 37, Bedford Street, Strand, W.C.2.
display the Correx developing outfits for 16 and 35 mm. cine
film, and the Arri 16 and 9.5 mm. printing machines ; Synchro¬
phone, Ltd,, 24, Berners Street, W.i, exhibit the Synchrophone
unit in one portable cabinet, consisting of i6-mm. projector,
gramophone and wireless set ; Taylor, Taylor & Hobson,
I.td., Stoughton Street Works, Leicester, exhibit Cooke Speed
Panchro and Panchro lenses ; W. Vinten, Ltd., of 106, Wardour
Street, W.i, show printing machines and developing plant for
cine film.
The Western Electric Co., Ltd., of Bush House, Aldwych,
W.C.2, in addition to i6-mm. equipment, have a remarkable
high-speed motion picture timing system taking up to 250
frames per second, and an ultra-speed model taking 2,000
frames per second. This is one of the features of the exhibition.
In addition to this apparatus, all the .other activities of the
Western Electric Co. in connection with cinematography are
staged ; The Weston Electrical Instrument Co., Ltd., Kingston
By-pass, Surbiton, Surrey, show the well-known Weston
Exposure Meters.
Zeiss Ikon, Ltd., Mortimer House, 37-41, Mortimer Street,
W.I, have an attractive display which includes their Kinamo
cameras, of which the S.io is the smallest clockwork motor
camera taking i6-mm. cine film ; the new Movikon camera,
for i6-mm., and the Kinox cine projector, which is a remarkably
fine piece of apparatus, are also on view.
Kodak, Ltd., Kingsway, W.C.2, have a very comprehensive
display, including all the apparatus and accessories manu¬
factured by them for. amateur cinematography. This includes
i6-mm. and 8-mm. Cine-Kodak cameras and projectors.
The Association of Cine-Technicians, of 30, Piccadilly
Mansions, W.i, have a small but interesting exhibit that will
attract attention in the shape of different phases of animated
cartoon work. A considerable number of other items and
accessories of interest to the amateur cinematographer will
be found on the stands in addition to those mentioned above.
The technical Press is also well represented.
The exhibition remains open to the public until Friday,
November 30th, and lectures and cine displays are given on
Tuesday and Friday evenings at 7 p.m., and on Saturday
afternoons at 3 p.m. The programme of these lectures was
published in our last week’s issue. Admission is free. A
detailed catalogue of the exjiibition is available, price 3d.

Mr. Gilbert Cousland has recently
added a very tall and gorgeous feather
to the many already adorning his artistic
hat, by producing ‘‘My Little ABC.”
This is a pictorial alphabet for children ;
but it is a great deal more. The full-
page photographs give ample evidence
of a loving understanding of the mind
of the child ; and one evidence of this,
curious as it may seem to some, is that
the book will be a delight to all nice
grown-ups. Particularly will it provide
inspiration for all photographers who
appreciate beauty of form, design and
idea. We seriously recommend our
readers to secure a copy, ostensibly
for the nursery perhaps, but incidentally
for their own delight. It is a most
attractive and artistic production, pub¬
lished at the low price of 3s. 6d. bv

The Twickenham Photographic So¬
ciety has arranged a good programme
of meetings for the winter months ;
one will be held every Thursday at
8 o’clock. This Society has doubled
its membership during the past two
years, and has now a fully-equipped dark¬
room in addition to a comfortable club-
room at u6. Heath Road, Twickenham.
The annual subscription is 7s. 6d. only,
and new members are welcomed. All
further information concerning the So¬
ciety will be gladly given by the Hon.
Secretary, A. S. Farris, 65, South
Western Road, E. Twickenham, Middle¬
sex.
The Eastman Kodak Company an¬
nounce the appointment of three new
Vice-Presidents. These are Dr. C. E.
Kenneth Mees, who will be Vice-Presi¬
dent in charge of research and develop¬
ment of the Eastman Kodak Company,
Mr. Herman C. Sievers, who succeeds
the late Mr. Lewis B. Jones, Vice-Presi¬
dent in charge of sales and advertising,
and Mr. Albert F. Sulzer, Manager of
Kodak Park, Rochester.
A new society, to be known as the
Bayswater and Paddington Photographic
Society, has just been started. The first
meeting was held at 113, Queen’s Road,
W.2. The Hon. Secretary is Mr. N. D.
Toop, of 23, Leinster Terrace, W.2, who
will be glad to hear from all photographers
in the neighbourhood who are interested.
The annual dinner of the Photo¬
graphic Dealers’ Association was held
at the Park Lane Hotel on November
6th, some 400 members and guests being
present. Mr. Donald Foster, the Presi¬
dent, made an ideal chairman, and the
whole affair was a brilliant success,
and thoroughly enjoyable from begin¬
ning to end. Mr. M'allace Heaton, who
played an important part in the arrange¬
ments, is to be warmly congratulated
on the result of his efforts. From the
beginning of the reception at 6.15 p.m.
till the final dances after 2 a.m. there
was not a dull moment. Speeches were
commendably few, short and good, and
the keynote of the occasion was jollity.
It is a striking fact that the membership
of the Association has well passed the
10,000 mark, and there are over a
hundred local branches.
The Blackpool and Fylde Photo¬
graphic Society, which has been in
existence for twenty-six years, has just

gate Drive, Blackpool, and the head¬
quarters are at 41a, Market Street, Black¬
pool. Particulars regarding the Society
will be sent on application to anyone
interested.

A change of Secretary has taken place
at the Phoenix Welfare Camera Club,
this position now being occupied by
Mr. John Thomson, of 350, Nuneaton
Street, Glasgow, S.E
In view of the demand for fine-grain
developers, especially for miniature nega¬
tives, Messrs. Wallace Heaton have put
one on the market. It is of Para-
phenyline-Diamine-Glycin composition,
and based on a well-tested formula.
A special advantage is that no increase
of exposure is required. A tin costing
one shilling will make up 20 &z. of
solution for tank development, and
appropriate times are given for the
popular brands of film used in small
cameras. Special stress is given to the
necessity for avoiding getting the solu¬
tion on the hands, as irritation would
be likely to ensue. With tank work it
is quite easy to guard against anything
of the sort. We have no doubt that
many readers will hasten to take advan¬
tage of this valuable addition to modern
developers.
The South London Group of the
Kodak Fellowship is holding a meeting
on Thursday, November 22nd, at 8 p.m.,
when a demonstration of enlarging and

iHi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
o 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
^T^eaders' Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
ontl Cinematographer y Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
pive the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaim?
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
':tami'»ed wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism.— Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ’* above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
lor criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly wTitten, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as How can I take interiors ? ” or *’ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptl> with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Lantern for Enlarging.
I have a projection lantern with 8-in. and lo-in.
lenses. Can this be used for enlarging from 3^ x ai
negatives? J. H. R. T. (Mountain Ash.)
We cannot answer your question off¬
hand. Apparently there is no reason
why you should not use the lantern for
enlarging, but owing to the long focus
of the lenses you will want considerable
room in which to work. One doubtful
point is whether the lens will give
sufficiently good definition to get the
most satisfactory results.
Modifying Shadows.
How may one build up shadow in a negative by
retouching ? I have experimented with pencil
with reasonable success, and I have tried building
up by working with an old razor-blade, but cannot
get much result. J. G. (London.)
We are quite a^ a loss to know how
you build up shadows by means of a
razor-blade. We can understand the
pencil work, but with a razor-blade or
anything of the kind you could only
remove density, and not introduce it.
Further, a razor-blade is an almost
hopeless makeshift, and you would have
to use the proper retouching knives made
for the purpose. If your idea is that
you want to make shadows less trans¬
parent so that they do not print so dark, '
a good way of doing this is by painting
over the areas with the red solution
known as Coccin. Even this, however,
requires a certain amount of practice
and experiment.
Cinfe Shows.
Could I hire cine films, and exhibit them in a
hall, charging for admission ? L. M. (Talgarth.)
The first thing you must do is to
interview the local police, and you will
probably find that the restrictions on
public cinematograph exhibitions are
such that it will be quite impossible
for you to comply with them.
Japanese Colours.
Will you give me the address of the Japanese
Water Colour Co., or their agents ?
J. E. H. (Hexham.)
We can only give you the American
address, which is the Japanese Water
Colour Co., Peerless Buildings, Dia¬
mond Place, Rochester, New York.
We are under the impression that their
water-colours are practically identical
with the Velox colours sold by Messrs.
Kodak, which are in stamp form.
Formalin.
I want to harden prints before glazing them, and
have bought a bottle of formaldehvde. To what
extent should I dilute it ? Should I harden
between developing and fixing ?
J. A. H. (Greenford.)
You should take one ounce of the
formalin solution as bought and add
9 oz. of water, and this can be used over
and over again. You should not harden
the prints until the end of the final
washing, when you should place them
in the solution and keep them moving
for about four minutes, transferring
them straight to the slabs without fur¬
ther washing.
Snow Subjects.
What exposures should be given for snow scenes ?
Shall I have to stop down ? How could I remove
a vast white foreground to obviate flatness ?
J. M. V. (Rutherglen.)
All the points that arise in photo¬
graphing snow subjects cannot be dealt
with in the form of brief answers to
questions. The exposure can best be
arrived at by means of an actinometer,
making the necessary allowance for
type of subject. If you get a foreground
of smooth white snow you cannot do
anything satisfactory with it, and the
proper course, as a rule, is to avoid such
foregrounds altogether. It is more satis¬
factory when they are broken up by
footprints or otherwise.
460
Restoring Prints.
Is there any method of restoring the enclosed
faded prints so that I could copy them ?
A. W. (Edinburgh.)
Even if we were sure of the make of
the paper of the prints you send we
should not like to recommend any treat¬
ment of them. They have apparently
been very carelessly produced, and to a
great extent the photographic image
has disappeared entirely, and probably
nothing can restore it.
Copying.
Can you suggest a method by which I could copy
engravings so that they fill a sl xaf negative,
using a box-form film camera ?
J. A. W. (N. S. Wales.)
It is practically out of the question
for you to attempt to copy engravings
with a box camera, and no focussing
screen. The whole thing is so difficult
in the ‘circumstances as to make it
useless to attempt it.
Deposit on Negatives.
Can you tell me the cause of the white deposit
on the enclosed negatives ?
F. E. (Highams Park.)
The marks on your negatives are
unusually pronounced, and it is only a
surmise that they may be due to the
character of the water you use, or to
deposit from the developing solution.
At the end Of the final washing you
should mop each side of the film while
under water with a plug of cotton-wool,
and, if this does not remove the deposit,
you might try the addition of a few
drops of hydrochloric acid to the water
with which you swab them.
Uto Paper.
In “ Photo^aphy of To-day ” I find a reference
to Uto paper for copying coloured transparencies.
Is this paper stiU obtainable ?
E. S. G. D. (Sidcup.)
The paper to which you refer was
experimented with a great many years
ago, but has long been. out of date. It
was never of much practical use, par¬
ticularly as there was no way of fixing
the image, so that it could not be long
exposed to daylight.
Platinotype.
I understand that a platinotype print is per¬
manent. Can you describe the process ? I am
only a beginner with limited resources.
J. A. G. (Crewe.)
Platinotype paper has practically gone
out of use on account of its great ex¬
pense, and for this reason we do not
think that the matter would interest
you. as you refer to your limited re¬
sources. It is certainly a permanent
process, but the most expensive of all.
Scratches on Film.
What is the cause of the lines across the enclosed
film negative ? W. E. C. (Salford.)
The scratches on your film are ap¬
parently abrasion marks due to the film
being dragged over a rough surface.
Such marks are often caused by winding
the film when the camera is closed, so
that the bellows are in contact with the
emulsion ; but in that case they are
generally much more serious than in
the example you send.

Soluble Crayon Outfit
It’s easy ! There’s no need to be good at drawing; you don’t
even have to follow the outlines accurately, as transparent colours
do not obscure them. If it does not look right at first, colour can
be removed without the slightest damage to the print surface.
By blending the crayons the most delicate effects are obtainable,
and you can produce work which has individuality, and is really
“your own.”

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
lor cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

“ LARGODREM "
ELECTRIC EXPOSURE METER
FOR ENLARGING.
The perfect exposure meter for use
with any make of vertical enlarger.
The “Largodrem ” is simply laid
on the baseboard, the light switched
on, when the correct exposure for
any make of bromide paper can be
read on the scale. Obtain one of these
invaluable meters and ensure correct
exposure with every enlargement
you make, and avoid wasting paper.
Price 30/-
When ordering please state the voltage.
THE
‘AKRISKOP’
Focussing Magnifier
will enable you to obtain
absolutely critically sharp
enlargements from your
small negati‘;es. This is ac¬
complished by intercepting
a beam of light passing from
the lens of the enlarger to
the baseboard or easel, and
adjusting the focus until the
actual silver grains of the
negative are seen in the
“ Akriskop.” Nothing can
be more critical than this.

SUPER IKONTA
Send for Special Super Ikonta Folder
and our 64-pp. Illustrated Catalogue.
The Super Ikonta, while possessing the ever-ready features of the well-known Ikonta, has
an extra device for correct focussing . . . THIS IS THE DISTANCE METER.
Whether the subject is 5 ft. or 50 ft. away from the camera it presents no difficulty to
the user of the SUPER IKONTA, as the distance meter by the simple rotation of a knob
gets the correct distance, and at the same time sets the lens to that distance.
This eliminates guessing the distance and ensures you beforehand that you will get good
pictures, because they will be sharp.

The possession of a camera is
often looked at askance at the
Customs, but if some countries
knew their business they would
spread a special carpet over the
frontier for any visiting photographer
to tread upon. At any rate, they
would grant photographers some
special rebate in respect of railway
fares and hotel charges, for un¬
doubtedly photographers help to
popularise travel. It is not merely
the photographs used as advertise¬
ments or reproduced in some form
or other which have a seductive
effect, but the ordinar}^ “ snaps ”
of the visitor, shown to his friends
on his return. One country which
is waking up to the advantage of
having photographers among its
tourists is Algeria, where an official
body, we see, is offering prizes for"
photographs. The first prize is i ,000
French francs (at the present rate
of exchange, about £16), the second
prize is 500 francs, and there are
prizbs of smaller denominations,
including twenty-five of 50 francs
each. The photographs have to be
taken during the tourist season, and
to be a personal record. Apparently
it is an annual distribution, for each
year’s photographs have to be in
by June, and are judged by a
committee in July. If any of our
readers are thinking of that sunny
land the address is the Office Algerian
d’Action Economique et Touristique,

A Million Feet a Day.
Such is the output of positive
cinematograph film now consumed
in this country alone, according to
computations of the highest authoi*-
ity, the president of the British
Cinematograph Society himself. It
is the regular thing in quoting such
figures to mention the distance of
London Landscapes (No. 28).

the earth from the moon, or the
earth’s waistline measurement, and
a little arithmetic proves that the
film consumed in a year, namely,
75,000 miles, would go three times
round the equator. And that is
Great Britain, mind you ! The
amount of positive film used in
America is probably between five and
six times as large, and the amount
for the world at large can only be
expressed in arithmetical figures.
And now just a little contrast.
Thirty-nine vears ago, in 1895, the
first year of tlie modern cinema,
the quantity of film made by George
Eastman’s company — the undoubted
pioneer — was 23,000 feet. This full
year’s product is put out every five
minutes in America and every half-
liour in this country, twenty-four
liours a da}^ and seven days a week.
When You Can’t Go Wrong.
To take an ordinary photograph,
unless one is a mere button-presser,
does require a good deal of care
and contrivance, a balancing of
factors, a nicely calculated less and
more. One feels all the time that
one is working within narrow mar¬
gins. But apparently the moving
picture, which process might be
supposed to be more complicated,
allows a great deal more latitude,
to judge from some experiences
we have heard related recently. A
gentleman who has been doing some
film work abroad for a commercial
organisation took with him, in
addition to an assistant, several
cinematograph cameras, with a wide
choice of lenses and filters. Gener¬
ally speaking, everything was plain
sailing, but there was one unusual
effect — a transient and peculiar
atmospheric effect at dawn on a
mountain — which he much desired
to obtain. There was nothing to

ta 5 CINEMATOGRAPHER o
guide him as to technique, and
accordingly, for a hectic twenty
minutes, he mobilised every camera
he had, and made shots at every
speed and with every lens and with
every hlter, hoping that one shot
amid such diversity might prove to
be the lucky one. Eight hundred
feet were taken in this way by
himself and his assistant, and in the
result every single shot came out
perfect ! Unbelievable, but true.
A Photographic Calendar.
In Germany, we see, they are
issuing some dainty ' photographic
calendars for 1935. The frontispiece
is a portrait of a young lady — not
the slim tenuous sort of hgure which
appears in our own photographic
advertisements, but a hefty wench
in sports costume, holding an equally
hefty camera at eye-level. Inside,
to fold over, there are hfty-two
postcard size pictorial photographs,
one for each week of the year, and
twelve larger size ones, one for each
month. An idea for some enter¬
prising publisher on this side of the
North Sea.
In Foreign Parts.
A well-known London professional
photographer who has recently been
on a visit to foreign parts, including
Egypt and Palestine, and farther
east of Suez, has come back with a
large number of photographs, all
of them e.xcellent. He confesses
that he was deceived a little at
first by the light, but afterwards he
succeeded uniformly in getting good
pictures by following a very simple
rule. The rule was : Everjdhing
at f/8 with an exposure of one-
hundredth of a second.
The “ Still ” Picture.
The splendid Goldsmiths Hall in
the City of London was packed the
other evening for a lecture by a
well-known authority on gold and
silver work, Mr. Omar Ramsden,
who described some of his travels
on the shores of the Mediterranean.
He began with an apology — which
was not altogether an apology — for
showing “still” pictures. In these
days of superb moving picture
photography, he said, and even of
excellent tourist cine work, it
required some courage and some
willingness to bear the reproach of
being called old-fashioned to present
an audience with “ still ” pictures.
Yet for his own part Mr. Ramsden
said that when watching films he
always wished the better part of
them would stand still, he was always
inclined to call out “ Halt ! ” at
intervals, and he stiU rejoiced in
ordinary photographs. Mr. Ramsden
is by no means alone in his pre¬
dilection. Movement in a picture
can be a very great asset, but it
can also be a disadvantage.
Dickens Flavour,
The Royal Photographic Society
at its last meeting admitted to its
Fellowship Mr. Sam WTller. The
great original on one famous oc¬
casion sighed for “a pair of patent
double million magnifying gas micro¬
scopes of hextra power,” in order
that he might see through a deal
door. When his namesake joins
the high confraternity of photo¬
graphers science has so far advanced
that there is hardly any such aspira¬
tion which cannot be gratified.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Amidol that keeps.
It is commonly advised that an amidol solution for print
development must be used within a few hours of its preparation.
Can any variation in constitution be made so that the solution
will keep for a few days ? C. L. G. (London.)

tiis is, of course, the working solution.
Several methods have been suggested for doing this, but the
most popular rely on a stock solution of sulphite that will not
quickly deteriorate, and to which the dry amidol is added
at the time of use. As the same quantity of solution is gener¬
ally made up for use, it is a simple matter to find a spoon or
other small measure that will contain the required amount of
amidol without weighing it out every time.
A stock solution of the kind referred to is :
Sodium sulphite (anhy.) . . . . . . . . 2 oz.
Potassium metabisulphite . . . . . . . . oz.
Water to . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 oz.
This may be boiled for a few minutes with advantage. The

Water to . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 oz.
Amidol . . . . . . . . . . 40-50 grs.
Boric acid may also be used as a preservative, adding 25 grs.
to each ounce of amidol solution ; or lactic acid in the propor¬
tion of one part to fifty of solution.
The method given above will produce a solution that will
keep in good working order for several weeks. No potassium
bromide is included, but this to any required amount can be
added from a 10 per cent solution.
A complete single-solution formula based on one suggested
by E. J. Wall is :
Conjugate Foci.
Can you oblige me by repeating the method of finding the
negative-lens and the lens-paper distances when enlarging ?
F. J . IV. (Lancaster.)
These distances are known as conjugate foci, as they have
definite relationships, and come into play in practically every
manner in which a lens can be used. For example, they apply
in reduction as well as in enlarging, and also in copying and
lantern-slide projection.
The first thing you must do is to find how many times the
distance between two given points in the negative is contained
in the distance between the same points in the enlargement.
This is the number of “ times ” or " diameters ” of enlargement.
For example, you may find that you wish to enlarge two, three,
four, etc., times, or diameters.
Now multiply the focal length of the lens by the number of
“ diameters ” plus one. Thus, if you are enlarging three
diameters, multiply the focal length by four. This gives you
the “ major ” conjugate focus — that is, the distance from lens
to paper. Now divide this distance by the number of dia¬
meters, and you will get the “ minor” conjugate focus — that
is the distance from lens to negative.
Example : You wish to enlarge from 44 X 3T to 12 X 10 using
a 5-in. lens. This may be reckoned as enlarging 3 diameters.
Major = 5 X (34-1) =20 in.
Minor = 20 5- 3 =6f in.

evelopment Troubles
The development of negatives and prints in the past was usually
attended with a variety of minor defects and blemishes. Modern
• ‘ methods have done away with most of these — but some still remain
to tax the resources of the amateur enthusiast.
N()WADAYS, troubles affecting
the home development of
negatives and prints are
not nearly so prevalent as they were
in the earlier days. Scratches, for
instance, occur less frequently when
a tank is used, whilst contamination,
blisters, frilling and certain me¬
chanical defects are now reduced to
the absolute minimum.
However, even with the employ¬
ment of modern methods, fog, veil,
“pinholes” and local stains are
still to be encountered.
Fog and Veil.
Althougli fog and veil are defects
very similar to one another, they
must not in any case be confused.
Fog is the inevitable outcome of
light leakage, whilst veil is usually
due to prolonged chemical action or
to the use of unbalanced developers.
With regard to fog, first, it
becomes necessary to find out
whether light leakage has occurred
in the development or in the pre¬
development stage. Since leakage
in development can occur only after
the film is in the tank — or where
visual development is still practised —
during the unwinding operation, it
is perhaps more likely that a leak
in the camera or loose winding is
the primary cause of the trouble.
I..ight leakage in the tank itself
is not infrequently traceable to a
damaged, ill-fitting lid ; though
where the tank is much worn it may
be that a tiny hole has developed
in one of the corners, or at any of
the projection points similarly ex¬
posed to much wear.
Cases of veil are perhaps equally
attributable to the use of a developer
over-rich in accelerator, or to pro¬
longed immersion in a standard
developer, particularly if it is one
weak in bromide. In the former
instance, veil appears as an even
degrading of the clear parts, whilst
in the other case, in addition to
veiling, evidence of coarse, granular
forcing — sometimes accompanied by
mild stains— is to be seen affecting
practically the whole of the work.
Incidentally, cases of veil occur
more frequently with prints than
they do with negatives and films.
Remedies,
A simple remed}' for over-accelera¬
tion is effected by adding an in¬
creased quantity of restrainer. This
is usually prepared in the form of a
ten per cent solution of potassium
bromide, which is added drop by
drop whilst c|uietly agitating the
main bulk of developer. Care should
be taken to add not too much of the
restrainer, as this may produce
excessive contrasts in negatives,
and may be responsible for bad
colour in prints.
Light leakage in the tank can be
detected by watching for drops of
liquids to accumulate round the
hole when the tank is full, or by
j^roperly testing the device in a
darkened room. 'I'he usual pro¬
cedure is to enclose a lighted pocket-
lamp in the tank and to inspect the
latter from all angles.
Remedies for pre-development fog¬
ging need not be discussed in this
article ; but, lest the fogging occur
during the unspooling stage, it will
be necessary to test the “ safe ”
light and also the dark-room itself
for unsuspected leakages of damag¬
ing light. In any case, sensitive
material should not be unduly
exposed to the dark-room light.
Pinholes, etc.
Having taken precautions to see
that dust particles do not find their
way to the film previous to develop¬
ment, the next point is to see that
they are not produced during this
operation. It may seem almost
unnecessary to suggest that all
chemicals should be thoroughly
dissolved before use, but some
photographers are not as careful
as they should be in this respect.
Particles of undissolved chemicals
becoming attached to the film be¬
fore it is thoroughly saturated
463
with developer, may produce pin¬
holes, because they prevent the
developer acting, or black spots,
according to their nature. These
pinholes which are caused by un¬
dissolved chemicals are easily dis¬
tinguished. They are larger, and
if examined under a magnifier
they will be seen to be of uneven
densitv, whereas the pinhole result¬
ing from dust will be smaller, and
of even sharpness at the edges.
Pinholes are seldom due to iso¬
lated spots on the sensitive material
which have somehow or other es¬
caped being covered with emulsion.
They are more often than otherwise
due to the formation of air-bubbles
on the emulsion surface during de¬
velopment. As a result of these,
the unchanged emulsion is removed
during fixation.
'I'o avoid this, it is necessary to
flush the film or charged tank first
with plain water ; and only after
this has been done should the
developer be introduced. In certain
localities, of course, the tap water
may be highly charged with air
bubbles. These may be reduced
in proportion by allowing the charge
to stand for some time before use —
or air can be expelled by l^ringing
the water to the boil first.
Other Notes.
If the fingers or gloves worn during
development are contaminated with
hypo, there is a danger of brown
stains and other marks appearing
on the finished work. To avoid
this, the hands should be rinsed
in clean water as often as it becomes
necessary to alter the baths.
At this stage, too, both negatives
and prints are extremely soft —
especially on the emulsion surfaces —
and are therefore liable to sustain
scratches and other injury. The
remedy here is to use a hardening
bath before the washing stage.
This may be employed by itself
or in conjunction with the hypo
fixing bath.

A NOVEL NIGHT SUBJECT FOR
THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER.
Have you permission to take tliat ? ” Six feet two
inches of heavy, uniformed rommissionaire tow¬
ered above me as I stood opposite a West I'.nd
store window, and gently lowered my miniature from eye
level. E\idently expecting me to apologise profusely for
daring to photograph one of IMessrs. ]31ank & Blank’s
displays, he became very annoyed indeed when I told him
that no permission was required to photograph anything
from a public highway. However, I only laughed and
took another, for they were the most attractive I had seen
for some time.
Shop windows have been a 'favourite subject of mine
for many years, but never har-e they been so easy to
photograph as now, owing to the ad\-ent of small cameras
fitted with fast lenses and loaded with speedy pan¬
chromatic film. This combination has opened up the
subject in a most unexpected manner, and snapshot ex¬
posures will give excellent
negatives of any well-lighted
window.
Display photography may
be considered from two
standpoints. There is that
of the photographer who
does such work from a busi¬
ness motive, on behalf of
shopkeepers — I heard of one
amateur doing very well bv
taking windows for traders
during the run of a display
contest, which are usually
judged on photographs sub¬
mitted. On the other hand
there are many shop windows
in London and the provinces
which show such art in their
arrangement that they become
well worth studying and re¬
cording by any photographer
with pictorial aspirations. Some there are, also, which
appeal irresistibly because of their originality.
A photographer taking windows from the former point
of view naturally uses his camera on a tripod, with a
small stop and a time exposure, .so as to get a very

sharj5 result. Before fast panchromatic plates came
into general use for this class of work, exposures of
five to ten minutes were quite common, but now
five to twenty seconds at f/i i will be sufficient. But there
is never any need to worry
about this item ; double
this time will do no harm.
It is not an exacting type of
subject as regards exposures.
High gusts of wind will
swing one’s camera on the
tripod at times, and motor
headlights will cause streaks
of light across the plate glass ;
for both these happenings
during the period the shutter
isopen the remedy is the same.
Cover the lens momentarily
with a card which has been
painted with matt black.
Similarly, if a person stands
in front of the window ; but
people passing along do not
affect the image at all. Natu¬
rally this period must be
added to the exposure time.
Since traffic conditions make it advisable to work alwaj'S
from the footpath, the wider the angle of the lens in use
the easier it is to cover a large window, but I have, on
occasion, stood a couple of feet into the roadway and
always found drivers most considerate in going round.
Of course, it is up to the photographer to keep an eye
on approaching motors, and be ready to move if necessary.
A modern display will throw no glare into the eyes of
the shopper, but tonal contrasts are often very strong, so
that it is advisable always to use backed plates. This
difficulty does not arise when snapshotting with a small
camera, for the panchromatic films now have a backing
dye incorporated in the film. The great depth of focus
obtained with a large stop on a miniature enables f/3.5
or f/2.9 to be used with exposures of i/ioth or i/25th
of a second, and this method makes window-display
photography very simple indeed, though a professional
would probably despise it. But for those who might think
twice before erecting a tripod for a time exposure on a cold
winter night, this is the ideal method of experimenting
with a subject which has a .spice of novelty.
An}”- nervousness can be dispelled at once ; commission¬
aires finish at 6 p.m., and window lights are on until nine
o’clock at many establishments.

NO MORE SLIPPED MASKS
Despite what is said to the contrary, plates, masks
and printing frames are not always cut, or made, to
their exact theoretical dimensions. Hence I have always
found that from time to time there is considerable trouble
experienced through masks becoming askew during printing.
This applies more so when printing from films smaller than
the frame employed. The question of certain and successful
masking then becomes very acute.
To overcome this trouble I now make what 1 might call
“double” masks, details of which can be seen in the accom¬
panying sketch. The masks, as will be noted, are part of a
continuous piece of paper that goes right round the negative,
the masking rectangle being as usual on the emulsion side
and a larger rectangle being cut at the back to prevent shadow.
By degrees I am making a collection of these masks to suit
every conceivable type of picture, but in practice I find about
three shapes are all that are really required.
The masks are made thus : Take the negative and sheet
of smooth black paper. Lay negative on sheet and fold over
two sides. Remove negative and gum these “fold-overs”
together. Now make desired rectangle on the side opposite
the gummed fold and with a sharp razor blade cut it out
(through gummed side as well). Take scissors and cut rectangle
at back (gummed fold-over side) to rather larger dimensions.
I.astly, trim off ends of black paper to fit your frame exactly.
You will now have a sort of double mask in between which
the plate or film will slide quite easily and remain “ put” while
any number of uniformly bordered prints are taken from it.
I can guarantee this mask being more than worth the
few minutes it takes to make. H.A.R.
COVER-GLASSES
The problem of what to do with collections of quarter-
plate glass, which for one reason or another were
defunct negatives, used to be rather a puzzle, and
doubtless it still is amongst the not inconsiderable little band
who more or less tenaciously hold their own midst the vast
army of film adherents.
If one makes lantern slides this problem is easily solved, for
it may not have occurred to everybody that as quarter-plates
measure 3J in. across and are usually of very thin glass, just
an inch off the length would make them into excellent cover-
glasses for binding with slides.
Doing this will be found very simple even to those who
have never attempted glass cutting before, the only appliances
required being a “ wheel ” glass-cutter as obtainable from the
“ Sixpenny Stores,” and a cutting-board made from odd
pieces of wood.
In making the cutting-board as shown, a smooth flat piece
of wood (A) measuring about 6x5 in., forms the base, and a
square block (C) with a true edge is fixed to one end. The
length of board (B) serving as a guide should be about 3/i6ths
in. thick, and the width of a slide less half the thickness of the
glass-cutter (E).
To cut cover-glasses, the gelatine films are removed from
a number of negatives in hot soda water, and, after drying, a

duces. By making the border in two separate stages, however,
a single card can be made to serve for all sizes of print or
enlargement. The sketches show the idea.
The card used should be at least a little larger than the
biggest enlargement likely to be needed. The printing paper
should be laid flat upon a table in the dark-room, or on the
horizontal easel of a vertical enlarger. The opaque card is
then laid upon the paper in such a w'ay that a border is exposed
along only two edges of the paper, as shown in sketch A.
The exposure is now made to give the necessary black
border along these two edges. Then the card is moved until
the remaining two edges of the paper are exposed, and the
exposure again made. Sketch B shows this second stage.
No matter whether the paper is large or small, or whether
a narrow or broad border is required, this method can be
employed, using the same card. It is wise, however, to lay
some heavy object, such as a book, upon the card during the
exposure, to enable paper and card to be kept in close contact
and produce a sharply-defined border. A. N.

A MEANS to obviate the making of separate cards for
different sizes of prints or enlargements, when a neat
black border i.s required to be printed round them, is
not difficult to operate.
Ordinarily the amateur who desires such borders feels that
it is necessary to cut a separate opaque card, slightly less than
the dimensions of the paper, for each size of picture he pro-

in setting out the objects, to avoid
surfaces such as polished tables,
otherwise the edges of the shadows
will be softened and slightly doubled,
and flare spots from the fllament of
the lamp reflected in the table top
may appear on the negative. A
good natural-ground surface is ob¬
tained from sheets of ordinary-
blotting-paper.
Another useful dodge, when ar¬
ranging the objects and lighting, is
to have a piece of blue glass to look
through when placing the subject.
This shows the picture up in
monochrome contrast, and, by
taking away some of the detail,
allows the shadows and high-lights
OW frequently is the shadow of an object
seen to be more striking and reminiscent
than the actual subject. With the winter
evenings and artihcial lighting, this opens
up a fascinating branch of still-life photography to
anyone with a flair for unusual composition or effective
suggestion in black and white.
Any camera is suitable. All that is required is a
small, easily movable spotlight. Nothing expensive.
High-power lamps and large-aperture lenses are no
advantage, for all objects being .stationary, any exposure
may be given with safety. An
ordinary house electric bulb in an
old motor-car head-lamp reflector,
or even in a cardboard tube with
one end closed, will serve excel¬
lently as the spotlight. It is neces¬
sary, however, that the lamp can
be placed at any angle, and that it
will throw a definite beam of light.
If a portrait flood-lamp is used, a
piece of stout card should be fitted
in front, with a small hole cut in
the centre, about one and a half
inches in diameter.
The advantages of the small
controlled beam can be appreciated
instantly by trying the extraordinary
variety of effects to be obtained
from a single object by just altering
the relative position of the light
and the camera. The closeness of
the illumination has the advan¬
tage of giving deep, long shadows
with clearly-marked edges and yet

retaining a brilliance of detail in the
object itself otherwise unobtainable.
Also, the beam deals effectively with
the ever-difficult question of back¬
ground ; by controlling the shadows
and the angle of the light all unwanted
detail can easily be thrown into
complete darkness.
Use a lens-hood on the camera, for
most rooms are full of light-traps for
reflection — pictures, fronts of book¬
cases, etc. Care should also be taken.

The best result from enlargements will be given by a

gaslight printing, Velox vigorous carbon is excellent.
Avoid soft papers, as they tend to dissipate the wealth
of detail required and the sharp edges of the shadows.
On the other hand, glazed prints will generally give too
much importance to the brilliant high-lights.
One final tip : if the negatives are developed by
time and temperature, the time should be reduced by
one-fifth, as the negatives will be of a very high-contrast
quality. If roll films are used, it is a good idea to arrange
for a batch of such subjects to be all taken on one

may be necessary sometimes to use f/ii or smaller

will then be increased proportionately.
The illustrations herewith give an indication of the

are unlimited. For the production of original Christ¬
mas and other greeting cards this treatment of familiar
objects can be commended, and will be appreciated as
something new by the recipients. In addition to pro¬
viding a pleasant form of indoor photography, it has
also a definite value in teaching the amateur to seek
for new viewpoints, and to produce compositions founded
on shadow designs that can be altered and revised to
any extent until a satisfactory result is obtained.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
After several years spent in experimenting with various
cameras, concocting wonderful developers, etc.,
I eventually turned out prints whose chief merit was
fair technical quality and good delinition ; and not until I
joined a photographic society did I think much about the
artistic aspect of photography. Six years ago I joined the
Bromley Camera Club, and viewing the members’ work, and
that of acknowledged masters of the art who came to lecture
and demonstrate, was a wonderful incentive. I realised the
possibilities of pictoiial photography.
“ My own methods are very simple. I like to use one

camera — not half a dozen ; to learn the idiosyncrasies of one’s
instrument takes some time. My present model is a 33 X24
folding camera, with an f/3.8 lens in Compur shutter, equipped
for plates, film packs and roll films. I use the camera prin¬
cipally at eye-level, and my favourite material is Agfa Super¬
pan film pack, which, in combination with an Ilford Alpha
filter, gives fine tonal values and really excellent cloud rendering.
With my roll-holder loaded with Selochrome roll film,
and a lens-hood in my pocket, I have a compact outfit with
which I feel prepared for any ‘ shot ’ that may present itself,
indoors or out, dull or bright, and by daylight or artificial
light.
“ My negatives are produced by first desensitising
with B.W.’s tabloids, then developing with M.Q.
developer of normal strength, using the inspection
method and screened candle-light illumination. The
negatives are taken to a fairly substantial density, as
I cannot produce real quality from the ' ghost’ variety.
These negatives very rarely require retouching ;
if they do, they are usually scrapped. First I make
a contact print, and if the negative is suitable for
my purpose it will give a good contact print on Velox
medium gaslight paper, or a lantern slide on Ilford
Warm-black plate, using the recommended three-
solution developer which will give various fine tones.
I f the negative does not pass these tests, I do not
attempt to enlarge it, thereby saving myself much ca.sh.
“.My 12x10 enlargements are usually on Kodak
Royal bromide or Ilford Clorona chloro-bromide,
generally with a cream base, and developed strictly
to maker’s formula, the exposure being so arranged
that development can be carried to finality. Spotting
is done with water-colour for small defects, and when
dry is rubbed over with the usual oil ' dope,’ and any
light patches treated with oily cotton-wool and a
suitable pigment. Mounting is accomplished quite
simply with dry-mounting tissue and a domestic
electric iron.
Regarding subjects, I thoroughly enjoy ‘ shooting ’
anything that comes along, with perhaps a preference
for subjects with predominating cloud effects. A day
on the downs, a north wind and cumulus clouds can
be a real inspiration ; or early on a sunny June morn¬
ing in a Cornish fishing village, with smoke and haze
floating over the harbour.
For a change I try indoor studies, and the example
shown was taken by artificial light with three seconds’
exposure on Superpan material. Lighting and com¬
position can be experimented with, and are under com¬
plete control. ‘ Lazy Days ’ was secured on Selochrome
film, exposure i/5oth sec. at f,/ii. I have discovered
that most of my successful pictures are obtained by
rapid decisions and manipulation ; even so, many
opportunities are lost, but the striving for the master¬
piece ever ‘ around the corner ’ is one of the chief
charms of picture-making.”

WHETHER there is more in
negative-making than in the
production of a print is a
point upon which opinions will always
differ. It is not easy to make a
perfect technical negative, nor, once
it has been made, is it any more easy
to make a print that is beyond criti¬
cism, but it has to be remembered
that, with the negative, it is but a
means to an end, and that end is the
print.
Negative and the Print.
It is the print upon which judgment
is passed, and, notwithstanding any¬
thing that may have gone before,
it remains the final criterion. It may
be true that a perfect print cannot be
produced from an indifferent nega¬
tive, but it is no less a fact that an
example of unfinished craftsmanship
in print -making cannot do justice to
the qualities a negative may possess.
A perfect negative deserves the
perfect print. Too often, , however,
the two are not appropriately adjusted,
and the print either fails to record the
full range of tones in the negative, or,
if they do happen to be rendered, the
scale of tones is compressed within a
too restricted limit. In the first case,
the print seems too black and white or
of too vigorous a character, and, in
the second, it seems unnaturally flat.
Assuming for a moment that no
complications are introduced by im¬
proper technique in print - making
and that there is no under-exposure
of the negative, there are two factors
which have to be considered in
adjusting the paper to the negative,
or, as it may happen, the negative
to the paper.
The first is the contrast of the
negative and the second the nature of
the printing paper. The contrasts of a
negative may vary according to the
nature of the subject and the time'
of development. If the developing
mixture be maintained at a constant
strength ; if the temperature be kept
at the same level, or suitable adjust¬
ment made to compensate for any
variation ; and if the same grade and
make of emulsion be always employed,
negatives of similar subjects developed
for the same time may be expected
to have much about the same contrast
range. If the time be increased, the
contrasts between extremes of tone
will be greater, and if the time be
decreased, the contrasts will be re¬
duced correspondingly.
The fundamental rule, other things
being equal, is that the contrasts of the
negative depend upon the time of
development. It will now be clear
that subject differences can be dealt
with by adjusting the time of develop¬
ment, providing each exposure is
separately treated.
Theoretically, every needed adjust¬
ment could be made by this means
alone, and, were it practicable, only
one grade of printing paper — i.e., as
far as_eontrast range is concerned —
would be required to render all
possible gradation in the negative.
The qualification regarding separate
treatment is essential, however, and
only really feasible where each ex¬
posure is classified at once, and
arrangements made for subsequent
adjustment of development time for
each individual case.
Where quantities are being handled,
it is sometimes possible, in the case
of plates, to arrange a scheme of
sorting according to whether the
subjects fall into high, average, or
low contrast, but with roll film the
required individual treatment of each
exposure is scarcely feasible.
Adjustment of Contrast.
Even with plates, it is seldom
convenient to sort them out when
changing, and, according to modern
practice, it is better to develop all the
negatives for an average time and
make any needed adjustment for
variations in contrast by altering the
grade of paper employed for printing.
In the ordinary run of exposures,
the subjects do not vary to such an
extent as to make such an adjustment
impossible.
Most types of paper are made in
three different grades — soft, normal
and vigorous. There is the gaslight
group, which, as a class, is fairly
vigorous and suitable for lightly
developed negatives ; there is the
bromide class, which, on the whole,
is softer than gaslight ; and softer
still is the group of papers known as
chloro-bromide.
opposite page.
Types of Printing Paper.
Each of these groups is sub-divided,
as already indicated, into three grades,
and, if it could be assumed that the
six prints on the opposite page were
printed from negatives from the same
roll of film — all having received the
same degree of development — an idea
of the resulting contrast differences
which might be expected if the same
grade of paper were used in each case
may be gathered.
No. 6, “ By Ealling Foss,” by J. C. L.
Way, is just a shade on the fiat side,
but all the tones are fully recorded.
The lighter values have just the
touches of gradation they need, but
the darks are not quite so strong as
they might be. If it be assumed that
the grade of paper known as normal
has been employed throughout, the
paper that is required to give the
extra depth in the darks without
losing the gradation in the lights is
the grade called vigorous.
Nos. I and 2, “ High and Dry,” by
J. Hamilton, and ” Brig o’ Balgowrie,”
by J. M. Veitch, could be regarded as
being very well matched, though, in
each case, there is scarcely sufficient
tone in the sky. This, however, is
more a matter of colour rendering
than adjusting the paper to the
negative, and, possibly, the occasion
will arise in the future for this aspect
of the question to be discussed.
Somewhat similar remarks are applic¬
able, also, to No. 4, "Conway Castle,”
by Herbert Duff. Here, however,
there is just a tendency for the contrast
of the paper to be inadequate to
render all the tones of the negative,
and an improvement might be ex¬
pected if a paper of softer character¬
istics were substituted.
In No. 3, “ Swirling Waters,” by
Miss M. G. Ann, the tendency is much
more evident, the lighter passages
being practically devoid of any hint
of tonal differentiation, a defect
which, again, makes its presence felt
in No. 5, “ Stepping Stones,” by Miss
D. Croxson. In both these latter
cases a softer grade of paper is very
definitely called for, and in all
probability that will not go far
enough, and it may be necessary to
utilise an extra soft type or go on
to another group. “ Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
“ FESTIVAL EVE,” by Harold Cazneaux.
WHEN the number of figures
included in this picture is
considered, and having re¬
gard to their age and liability to
sudden or spontaneous movement ;
the difficulty of arranging three or
four in a satisfactory group, to say
nothing of nearly a dozen ; and the
entire absence of any feature to
indicate deliberate posing, it can
readily be admitted that it represents
something in the nature of a decided
achievement.
Quantity and Quality.
The chief difficulties in
this class of work, apart
from any question of
arrangement or artistic
quality, are the avoid¬
ance of both movement
and camera conscious¬
ness, while the matter
of exposure and develop¬
ment of the negative
call for special treatment
on account of the high
degree of contrast in the
subject itself.
As will have been
gathered from the re¬
marks on the preceding
page, it would have been
found desirable to reduce
the negative contrasts
by curtailing the time of
development, and, if then
found necessary, to coun¬
teract any remaining ten¬
dency towards excessive
contrast by the choice of a printing
paper of soft characteristics. It is
possible, of course, that the whole
adjustment took place during one of
the two operations — either develop¬
ment of the negative or choice of
printing paper — but, in the absence of
any technical data, no confirmation
is available. However, it is far more
likely, having regard to the long
experience behind the work, that
what adjustment there was was made
during both, particularly as the range
of the subject contrast would be
known from the outset.
The main thing, of course, is that
the necessary adjustment should be
made, and that it has been successfully
accomplished is convincingly demon¬
strated by the undeniable harmony
of the tonal values.
Technical Treatment.
The same harmony also affords an
indication of an excellent judgment of
the exposure required, as well as of
sound technical treatment throughout.
To this, again, the quality in the print
also bears witness, and, although the
exposure could not have been severely
cut down, it represents a very nice
degree of judgment between the
amount that ought to be given and
that to which, on account of the
possibility of subject movement, it
should be limited.
Aided by a very exact sense of the
psychological moment for making the
exposure, however, there is nothing
but the slightest hint of subject
movement anywhere in the picture.
Even then, it is only barely dis¬
cernible, and, ironically enough, occurs
in the proximity of the head of the
figure in chief (i). It would be more
noticeable, perhaps, if the subject
were enlarged to a greater degree,
but, in the present print, is only
detectible by a slight indecision in
the lines of the profile, eye, and the
light notes of collar and sleeve. It
would, almost certainly, be overlooked
by nine viewers out of ten, and the
tenth, no doubt, could be regarded
as hypercritical. At any rate, it
does not affect the pictorial appeal of
the work, and, considering the num¬
ber of figures included, it is really a
wonder that there is no more.
Keeping the same factor in mind,
the arrangement, with its double
pyramidal form, is excellently managed.
How far it was con¬
trolled, or if occurring en¬
tirely by chance, history
does not relate, but its
spontaneity isremarkable,
and it is on this quality
that much of the success
of the work depends.
The absence of camera
consciousness contributes
not a little towards the
suggestion of spontaneity
and, from this, it may
perhaps be legitimate to
infer that the subjects
were unaware of being
taken. If so, and the
picture relies solely for
its being upon the choice
of time for making the
exposure, the achieve¬
ment is all the greater
and the patience exer¬
cised must have been
remarkable.
Noteworthy Points.
A further attractive
feature is to be found in the imitation
suggested by the similar attitudes —
in reverse — of the figure in chief (1)
and the one on the extreme right (2).
Because they face each other, the
attention is held within the picture,
and whatever is outside these two
points cannot claim any particular
notice. They seem to centralise the
interest, and, incidentally, the arrange¬
ment of the domestic pots and pans
seems peculiarly happy. It might
even be the case that one or two still-
life studies of considerable appeal
might be made from the same negative,
and, if so, Cazneaux would not be the
first pictorialist to get two or more
exhibition prints from the same
negative ! " Mentor.”

IT is not everyone with a camera who fully
realises how useful it may often be at
home. It is regarded as something to be
got out for use on excursions and holidays,
but is liable to be overlooked altogether for
purposes it may well serve in the home and
garden.
The most likely occasions on which it may
be remembered and used are those which
provide an opportunity of taking portraits,
generally out of doors. Probably this is, on
the whole, the best and most popular use
to which the camera can be put at home,
especially when a garden of some sort is
available. Much excellent work has been done
in this way, and in many cases the results
are not only good portraits or " likenesses,”
but pictures with a more general appeal by
reason of effective lighting, sound composition,
and good technical and pictorial quality.
Children especially jirovide fine subjects.
Next in popularity come snapshots of animal
life — dogs, cats, liirds and other home pets ;
and very successful in every way they may be
when handled with experience and skill. Also there may
be secured attractive ” garden ” subjects, general views,
selected corners, the fountain or sundial in fortunate cases ;
and often figures may be introduced, not for " likeness ”

purposes, but to add a subordinate note of human interest.
Mowers may be photographed in the mass, or as separate
isolated subjects, and this branch of work is often done
indoors as well as out.
At least one distinguished photo¬
grapher has compiled fascinating lantern
lectures, with all the subjects secured
within the boundaries of his own
garden, and many of the subjects
made more realistic and beautiful by
slides which have been coloured by
hand, or produced by one of the
natural-colour processes. But it is
only the fortunate few whose gardens
lend themselves to such ambitious
schemes.
There is the same difference in
interiors. It is only a comparatively
small number of homes that lend
themselves to effective interior views
and vistas, or provide attractive corners
and " bits,” with or without figures as
in the case of the garden subjects.
But even the humblest of us can
find subjects to photograph at home,
even if they are nothing more than
imported fruit and flowers. In illus¬
trating these beginners’ notes I have
often resorted to something handy
indoors which has answered the pur¬
pose in view.

Fig. I was not taken to illustrate^any technical point,
but just as a record. In the corner^„of a very small and
unpretentious garden plot, innocent of such adornments as
fountains, sundials, pergolas and rock gardens, was a casual
slip of grape vine which filled an odd corner with foliage,
and even displayed ragged bunches of small green grapes.
Owing to the wonderful summer this year the bunches
were not only larger and more numerous, but the grapes
turned purple and ripened, and there were many bunches
which weighed well over a pound each. So one morning
at breakfast time 1 got out a quarter-plate reflex, and,
perched precariously on a chair, took a few snaps to provide
evidence of the phenomenal success of the " vineyard.”
A couple of evenings ago I wanted a photograph of the
carved panel shown in Fig. 2 — the familiar crude Indian
carving in low relief. 1 simply propped it upright under a
60-watt electric bulb, and moved it about till the contrasts
were very strong, and exposed and deVeloped so as to
exaggerate the contrasts as much as possible. Two minutes’
exposure at f/ii on a Wellington anti-screen plate gave
what 1 wanted.
As I have before pointed out, it is in such cases that
records of distance, light, subject and exposure have a
practical value. For example, having got an idea of the
exposure at a given distance from this particular lamp I
can get some guidance for exposure at a different distance
by comparing the squares of those distances. Suppose that
1 know the exposure at 2 ft., and wanted to know it at
6 ft., I should square 2 and 6, and the numbers 4 and 36
would show at once that the exposure would have to be
nine times as long. Similarly I could allow for the use
of a different stop, plate, subject and character of the result
required. Having taken everything into account, and
arrived at an exposure which seemed ” right,” I should
almost certainly double it to make it “ righter.”
Some of the things 1 have suggested for dealing with at
home can be dealt with in the usual ” snapshot ” manner,
but there are others which cannot be adequately tackled
with, say, a small roll-film camera. In many cases a
stand camera with a focussing screen is indispensable,
and a long extension advisable. Many beginners will retort
that they have only one camera, and it is not adapted for
such work. To such 1 would seriously suggest getting
another camera, which would be handy not only at home
but elsewhere.
It need cost very little. Amongst my apparatus I have
a quarter-plate camera, of well-known British make, with
single slides (3) for plates ; Aplanat f/8 lens in three-speed
B. and T. shutter, focussing screen and scale, finder, rising
and cross front both ways ; and the whole cost ten shillings.
It would have been better with double extension, and it
would have been easy to find one with this addition for a
trifling extra cost. Such cameras are easily picked up at
prices which make them worth getting, if only for occasional
use.
As a rule it is possible, when working at home, to expose
a single plate, develop it forthwith, and have another shot
if necessary. W. L. F. W.
Ietters to the Editor
The Editor is not responsible for the opinions of his correspondents.
D. AND P.
Sir, — The letter from your correspondent M'. H. Lewis,
headed “ D. and P, ’’prompts me to reply that, having control
of a fairly extensive dept, dealing with developing and print¬
ing of amateurs’ films, I have yet to find a film clip that will
damage any film that has been properly loaded and checked
off, either by the number in the window or the mechanical
methods now in vogue. It is, or should be, common knovv'-
ledge that all manufacturers provide ample spare film at
each end of the roll for clips or even hand development.
I have handled films which have been damaged by the
clip, but only when the ” spacing ” has been irregular and the
last exposure made on the ” dead end ” of the roll. Perhaps
your correspondent knows of some method of predetermining
where the image is going to appear, or has some dark scheme of
invisible clips. If I am not taking up too much of your
valuable space I would suggest your correspondent invests
in one of the many varieties of developing tanks on the
market instead of driving further nails into the proverbial
coffin of the wicked professional who seems to exist to destroy,
rather than develop, his business. — Yours, etc., H. SIAIONS.
SPEED NUMBERS.
Sir, — A frequent query in ” Readers’ Questions ” is for a
formula to convert degrees Scheiner to H. &■ D. As you point
out, this cannot be done, but as I imagine most of these queries
come from readers who possess exposure meters calibrated in
degrees Scheiner only, the reply must be disappointing. The
following table, which is worked out in round figures, is reason¬
ably accurate, and may be of service to those who use foreign
exposure meters. Plate users who stick to the plates rated
as “ ordinary,” “ rapid ” and " extra rapid,” will find that
12°, 14° and 16° will be approximately correct.

BRAITHWAITE.
DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — I should like to express my thanks to those who in
your issue of the 1 7th October have suggested various means of
preventing films from adhering to the aprons of developing
tanks. Perhaps I should have said in my original letter that
I ha\e neglected none of the elementary precautions which
they advocate. Had it been otherwise I should not have
presumed to write to you on the subject.
I have since consulted several dealers, who assure me that
the trouble which I have experienced is by no means un¬
common in the case of panchromatic films, which I invariably
use. One of them suggested that it was due to the sticky
nature of the backing usually applied to such films. This
explanation leaves me unsatisfied, since, as your correspon¬
dents point out, the emulsion ought ne\-er to come into contact
with the apron if the apparatus is properly handled. I have
nevertheless ruined many spools.
It is some comfort to know that I am not alone in my trouble,
but, like Mr. Longfield, I have still to discover the perfect
developing tank for panchromatic films. — Yours, etc.,
J. A. STIRLING.
Sir, — Some years ago I had similar trouble to that of your
correspondent. I completely got over it by damping the
apron. By this means the film when rolled into the apron
adheres to it. I can never understand why the Kodak people
emphasise the necessity for the apron being quite dry ; since
using it damp I have never had the slightest trouble. — Yours,
etc., HAROLD BAYLEY.
ANASTIGMAT LENS.
Sir, — Although not a lens manufacturer I should like to
comment upon the remarks of Mr. B. C. Hamilton in the issue
dated November 7th.
Even if the corner of the wall in question is seven feet away
from the lens, the plane of the wall remains always six feet
from the plane of the lens. If the camera is focussed on a
point six feet away, then everything lying in a plane through
this point (which plane is parallel to the plane of the lens),
will be in focus. This can be understood more easily when one
considers that if the centre of the plate is six inches from the
lens, then the corner of the plate will be seven inches from the
lens ; and it is upon this corner that the image of the wall
corner is formed. — Yours, etc., K. M. BEVINS.

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINE APPARATUS.
Cinematography
The Fun of
The editing of films should form
an engrossing part of the
amateur cinematographer’s win¬
ter programme. It is hard to sacrifice
shots that took perhaps hours to
locate, but the true artist, like the
writer, experiences joy in finding
exact expression. And there is, of
course, more to editing than mere
cutting. Tt is the film editor who can
give precise sequence and continuity.
Editing presupposes a knowledge of
splicing, or joining. There are many
aids to good splicing on the market,
and it is for the amateur himself to
note the limits of the frame marking,
to scrape emulsion off cleanly, and not
to use too much, or too little, cement.
Sub-titles come into the category of
editing. “ Skilful titling can make
even a dull film seem quite good,”
said Mr. A. S. Chard, of Cinecraft,
in a talk on titling to members of
the Eastbourne Amateur Cine En¬
thusiasts’ Club recently. Mr. Chard
demonstrated the various methods of
making titles, including trick titles,
and said that the very worst amateur
film which he had ever come across — in
the course of which the camera had
actually become reversed at one point
— had been transformed by clever
editing, and some amusing titles,
into one of the wittiest and brightest
productions he had ever seen.
If up till now you have been content
to take your films, project them, and
leave it at that, you have only known
half the thrills of amateur cinemato¬
graphy. There is nothing like personal
experience of film editing in all its
aspects to make one cinema-minded.
Don’t let the winter pass, however,
without at least one record of a mood
characteristic of the season. The sea
never shows its beauty and strength
so well as in winter. And one morn¬
ing you will wake up and find your
corner of the world white with snow.
Have your cine camera ready. There
are winter sports even in England.
Hunting has its own pageantry. Trees
never have more “ character ” than
when in winter they take on a new
architectural beauty. Note how each
tree has its own way of holding its

boughs, and take advantage of the
interplay of light and shade.
Recently I was asked, ” Is it possible
for a cine amateur to make a nature
film similar to the ‘ Secrets of Nature ’
series ?” Certainly it is possible with
micro-cinematography and patience,
and much can be done with an ordinary
cine camera and a telephoto lens.
We all admire cinematographers who
wrest the secrets of far-off jungles for
our dglight. But why is it we do not
go after nature as ruthlessly with our
cine camera in our own English woods ;
follow the dormouse to his winter
nest in the hedgerow, and the red
squirrel, as he goes about his work of
storing nuts in the hollow of the tree
trunk ; film the flocks of birds arriving
now on our shores from Iceland,
Lapland and Russia, or the gulls
driven inland before approaching
storms and gales ? Why not a film
of how the otter and badger, the

M. A. LOVELL-BURGESS.
hedgehog and harvest mouse, the
squirrel and the bees prepare for
winter ? Few people know of their
careful preparations, and hardly be¬
lieve, it if you tell them, but “ seeing
is believing.”
Parks offer plenty of good winter
subjects. Only frost and ice, f6r
instance, keep the children from sailing
their yachts on the Round Pond
in Kensington Gardens. The rain is
the sole enemy of the regiment of
nursemaids. There is plenty of spirited
riding in the Row on crisp, cold
mornings, and you can generally get a
good shot of people feeding gulls by the
little bridge that spans the Serpentine.
What contrasts are offered your
cine camera, from the “ Chocolate
Lady ” — some of you may have heard
her in the radio feature, ” In Town
To-night ” — whose " pitch ” is by
Kensington Palace, to the sophisticated
Mayfair ladies parading with their

coat-clad dogs. Even cold weather
doesn’t keep out the boy and girl
lovers, and there always seem to be
footballers in the acijacent playing-
fields in the afternoon.
Such a characteristic stretch of
London you have, from the orators
with their democratic groups of
listeners, many of them unemployed,
at the Marble Arch entrance to Hyde
Park, right across to the much-maligned
Albert Memorial — that pageant in
stone of England’s greatness — and to
Kensington Palace, with its wide
approaching avenues, and its pic¬
turesque sunken gardens where Queen
Victoria walked in her teens.
What fun it would be editing just
such a film as this, with always the
green background for sequence and
continuity !
Cine Club Activities
INDEPENDENT Film Makers are in
need of a room situated in central
London where members could meet
any night of the week for discussions
and refreshments. Until now mem¬
bers have been meeting at a restaur¬
ant in Leicester Square on Monday
evenings.
“ If any member knows of such a
place,” writes Leslie Beisiegel, in the
current I.F.M.A. bulletin, " will he or
she write to me, when I will bestow
upon them my blessings, because my
digestion is being ruined by sampling
the foods of cafes, dives and restaur¬
ants that look as if they would stand
the intellectual forces of I.F.M.A.”
The Liverpool Amateur Film So¬
ciety is arranging an exhibition of
amateur films to take place this
month in their private theatre. An
appeal is being made for the loan of
films to be shown in conjunction with
We hear from Studio Briggs that
they have secured the services of Mr.
Noel Griggs as Studio Director. Mr.
Griggs’ fine technical and pictorial work
is already known to our readers, and his
exhibits at the recent P.P.A. exhibition
of technical and commercial photo¬
graphy included some of the best work
in the show.
The L.M.S. Railway are to exploit
Britain’s scenic splendours, and interest¬
ing aspects of railway activities, by
means of sub-standard (r6-mm.) films
during the forthcoming winter lecture
season. Throughout the summer, L.M.S.
staff operators have been busy in North
Wales, Scotland, the Lakes and other
holiday districts, with the result that
nine purely scenic films have been made.
In addition, four films are available
depicting interesting railway activities,
such as tjpie building of a railway coach ;
the American tour of the Royal Scot ;
passenger trains ; and railway steam¬
ship services. Four districts — London,
Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow —
have been equipped with projectors,
and the films will be loaned to institutes,
clubs, etc., an experienced commentator
being provided if required. This new
films scheme is distinct from that which
their own productions. Offers of films
on loan would be gratefully received
by the Hon. Secretary, Mr. D. M.
Furlong, 14 1, Wood Street, Liver¬
pool, I.
A series of lectures and demon¬
strations are enlivening the winter
months for members of the Cine
Section of the Portsmouth Camera
Club, whose headquarters are at 54,
Hyde Park Road. Instruction is given
in developing, printing and titling, as
well as in camera work and projecting.
A 300-ft. film is being made, and it
affords ample opportunities for all
aspects of cine work. Enquiries
concerning the Club should be made
to Mr. C. Worley, 9, Arundel Street,
Portsmouth.
Mr. E. Lightfoot, of the Dorset
Film Society, writes, " The reason of
the greatness of the Soviet Directors
is that funds were so low they could
the L.M.S. Railway already have success¬
fully in operation for the exhibition at
various centres on the system of educa¬
tional and interest filrris to the staff
themselves. Full particulars regarding
the loan of these films will be sent on
application to the Press Section, L.M.S.
Railway, Euston Station, N.W.i.
At a recent “ At Home ” of the 5 /7th
Battalion the Hampshire Regiment at
Bournemouth, one of the most interest¬
ing events of the evening was a pro¬
jection of a Dufaycolor film showing
the Battalion annual training in camp at
Seaford. This was made, at his own
expense, by Mr. J. P. J. Chapman, and
a ten-feet wide picture was projected
from the i6-mm. Dufaycolor film. We
believe that this is the first time that a
substandard colour picture has been
shown to such a large size.
“Audivision ” Films. An American
correspondent tells us of “ audivision ”
films that are now becoming popular in
the States. They are lantern lectures
brought up to date. Instead of bulky
glass slides, the pictures are printed on
standard 35-mm. cinema film ; 100

in diameter. The film is shown by

at a low ebb with our club so we may

Or, as Shakespeare would have said,
“ And some have greatness thrust
upon them ! ”
Wimbledon’s fourth annual cine
dance will take place on December ist.
Weekly meetings are held at the
Wimbledon Cine Club, and a new
film production is being started.
Particulars may be obtained from
Mr. C. W. Watkins, 79, Mostyn Road,

Amateur cinematographers ‘ inter¬
ested in the making of religious films

means of a small 200-watt projector ; it
is run through by hand, one frame at a
time. Instead of a human lecturer, the
sound part is put on a i6-in. record (33
r.p.m.). This enables the producer to
depart from a straight lecture and
dramatise episodes, put in music, or
whatever is wanted. As soon as the
comments are finished regarding each
picture (fifteen or twenty seconds) a
bell or gong is rung, which sound is
recorded and is the signal to change
the frame. The outfit is entirely por¬
table and is used for educational or-
industrial purposes, such as sales organi¬
sations, sales promotion, etc.
The Members’ Exhibition of the
Camera Club was opened this week at
17, John Street, Adelphi, W.C.2. Mr.
James Smith, Art Editor of the Daily
Telegraph, acted as judge. The exhi¬
bition remains open until December
17th, and wiU then be followed by
the exhibition of Original Pictures
from Photograms of the Year, 1934-35.
Admission is free.

now able to supply infra-red roll films
in all the popular sizes and at reasonable
prices; the No. 20 (2J-X3J), for instance,
being 2s. 3d. per spool. The infra-red
film can also be supplied for Leica
cameras for thirty-six exposures at

rw AMATEUR PHOTOORAPHER
ta 6 ClhEMATOGRAPHER c3
‘Deader^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematos,rafhcr, Dorset House, Stamford Street. London, S.E.i,” and in every rase, without exception must
(iive the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
.-\ll contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwTiting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelo'-e is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
for criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or " Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptl> with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Night Photographs.
What is the best developer to use for night photo¬
graphy ? G. A. D. (Parsons Green.)
As a rule it is advisable to use a rather
soft-working developer for night effects,
such as metol or one of the proprietary
developers like Azol. With these de¬
velopers the detail comes up quickly,
but it takes some time for great contrast
to be built up ; and it is only necessary
to stop development at the right point
before the greater densities have be¬
come too marked.
Copyright.
Should I be infringing copyright if I make lantern
slides (not for sale) from pictures, etc., in text¬
books, magazines and post cards ?
A. E. J. (Bingley.)
Le, gaily spea.kin,g, you infringe copy¬
right by the mere act of copying, and
when it comes to copying from maga¬
zines and post cards you will probaltly
be running considerable risk. The pur¬
poses for which you are using the slides,
and the fact tliat you will make no
charge for .showing them, has no effect
whatever according to copyright law.
We can only suggest that where names
of publishers are available you should
ask for permission to do what you require,
and in all other cases yon refrain from
doing anything of the sort.
Coloured Prints.
Could vou inform me if there is aiiv commercial
value for tinted snapshots similar to the enclosed ?
H. V. S. (Southsea.)
We do not know of any place where
you could find a market for tinted
photographs. These hand-tinted prints,
.generally post cards, are sometimes of¬
fered for sale, but at very low prices,
the work in that case being turned out
in large quantities by a kind of mass-
production method.
Hand-stand Camera.
Is there a hand-stand camera that can be used
in the hand and on a tripod as well ? ,
W. C. M. (Maryport.)
The majority of ordinary hand-cameras
are capable of being screwed on to a
tripod, when they become in a sense
stand-cameras. At the same time, the
term “ hand-stand ” is usually applied
to a camera which has some of the move¬
ments of an ordinary field camera that
are not generally found on hand-cameras.
It would be safe to say, for example, that
a hand-stand camera has a focussing
screen, which many hand-cameras have
not.
Blue Prints.
Is there a satisfactory method of using blue-
Iirint paper so that the colour is black instead of
bine ? J. M. T. (Alloa.)
There is no really satisfactory method
of doing what ydu require with the blue
prints. The nearest approach to getting
what yon desire is to soak the blue
prints for a few minutes in 5 per cent
potassium carbonate solution : then
wash and immerse in a 5 per cent
tannin solution, after which the prints
must be again washed.
Lantern Lectures.
Could you let me know the names and addresses
of firms that supply lantern and other lectures
suitable for a photographic society ?
J. K. F. (Croydon.)
Some considerable time ago we nub-
lished a list of lectures available from
different firms and so on, but it would be
much too long to repeat. Far and
away vour best plan would be to join
the Alliance of photographic societies in
connection with the Royal Photographic
Society, 35, Russell Square, London,
W.C.i. The subscription is only is.
per annum, and you would have placed
at your disposal a great variety of
lectures, portfolios and so on,;
480
Flat Enlargements.
Enclosed is a sample of the fiat, dull enlargements
I get, although the negatives give good prints
on normal Velox. Could you help me to im¬
prove them ? J. M. (Shrewsbury.)
If, as you say, this negative gives a
good print on normal Velox we can
only think of two reasons for the dull,
flat appearance of the enlargement.
One is that the paper is too soft in
character, and should be more vigorous ;
and the other is that you seriously
over-exposed.
Colour Prints.
Is there any amateur method available for making
prints in natural colours ? If so, what firm
supplies the materials ? A. C. (Uxbridge.)
Practically the only satisfactory pro¬
cess of making colour prints is the three-
colour carbon or Carbro process, but
these are rather difficult and complicated,
and involve in each case the making of
three different negatives. Full particulars
of both can be obtained from the Auto¬
type Company, Ltd., 39, New Oxford
Street, London, W.C.i.
Marking Bromide Paper.
I find difficulty in deciding the sensitive surface
of matt bromide paper, as the curling of the paper
is uncertain. Can you tell me of a chemical that
will make a distinctive mark on the unexposed
sensitive surface ? G. B. S. (London.)
We cannot suggest any chemical that
will at once make a mark on the unex¬
posed surface of bromide paper. If
you put the extreme corner of a sheet
between slightly moistened lips you will
find that the sensitive side distinctly
adheres.
Canal Subjects.
Will you tell me some suitable places in London
where I can obtain photographs of canal barge
? R. S. T. (Lowestoft.)
We cannot state any definite parts of
London where you can obtain canal
photographs. Some of the best ex¬
amples of this type of work are to be
obtained outside fmndon itself, and
require a good deal of patience and
experience to secure.
Water Development.
With reference to the dodge of partly developing
in plain water, can you tell me where I could find
time and temperature tables for this method ?
H. E. H. (London.)
No definite times can be laid down
when the plain water dodge is resorted
to. The whole method has to be con-
diictefl by actual observation, and
variation in times must be made accord¬
ing to circumstances.
Night Photographs.
I would like to take night photographs like the
sample herewith, but doubt if my camera is
suitable. Can you tell me the maximum f/
number, the type of film, and the approximate
exposure ? W. E. F. (Clifton.)
•Mmost any camera is suitable for
night photography, provided you do
not attempt to include figures. This
demands a very large aperture lens and
the fastest films available. Exposures
may vary, according to subject and
circumstances, from about one second
to half an hour, or even more. You will
find some useful information on exposures
for night subjects in the Burroughs
Wellcome Diary.

WARNING
We have received many compiaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore ail such
offers from this quarter.

HOTOGRAMS OF THE YEAR
makes its appearance again
next week, and will be wel¬
comed by many thousands of photo¬
graphers and picture - lovers in all
parts of the world. The new volume
for 1934-35 will contain its usual
rich and varied collection of repro¬
ductions of the best work by
pictorialists of every country, and
it is the international character of
this popular annual that distinguishes
it from all others. There is also the
fact, and one that appeals to every
broad-minded reader, that no special
phase of photography is emphasised
at the expense of others. In this,
the 40th year of publication. Photo-
grams will be found to be as up-to-
date as the most progressive of
modern camera workers can desire,
without losing sight of the claims
of those workers who continue with
the more classic representations of
nature. As a finely illustrated book
it will make an ideal Christmas
gift for any photographer. Orders
should be placed without delay at
booksellers, dealers or bookstalls,
or sent direct to the publishers,
Messrs. Iliffe & Sons Ltd., Dorset
House, Stamford Street, S.E.i. The
price is 5s. paper covers (post free,
5s. 6d.) ; cloth bound, 7s. 6d.
(post free, 8s.).
A Modern Photographic Outing.
Thanks to the motor car, photo¬
graphic excursions to the most
out-of-the-way places have become
possible. In the old days a party
of photographers would travel by
train to and from a selected place,
and very often their field of work
was limited because of the lack of
travelling facilities; but thirigs are
a little different to-day. A few
days ago, on a passably, bright
November morning, two well-known

members of the Royal Photographic
Society, with a motoring friend,
also a camera-man, left a town in
Surrey and made for a Cambridge¬
shire village, between sixty and
seventy miles distant. There they
picked up a friend who was well
acquainted with the district, and
under his guidance the party visited
fourteen villages, stopping in six
of them to photograph objects of
interest, using in most cases a
tripod and giving time exposures,
returning afterguards to their Surrey
homes. Verily a good day’s work
on a November day, when many
amateurs believe camera work to
be difficult if not impossible.
Embarrassing Disclosures.
We are told that there is quite a
trade in the illegitimate copying of
photographs. A young lady goes
to a fashionable studio and has
sittings. In due course the proofs
are sent for her approval, and after
a little while are returned with an
intimation that none of them satis¬
fies her fastidious taste. But in the
meanwhile she has betaken herself
to a little hole-and-corner profes¬
sional in a back street, who makes
as many copies of them as she wants,
and thus he gets business, and she
gets superior photographs at in¬
ferior prices. Col. Mansfield, who
lectured before the Royal Photo¬
graphic Society the other evening
on the detection of the forger by
the use of ultra-violet rays on
documents, has thought out a little
plan whereby, adding some invisible
salt to the prints so treated, the
pirate photographer may be startled
when he comes to look at his copying
to find the words leap out in ghostly
characters across the face of the
sitter, “ You thief ! ” A description
alike of himself and of the fair sitter.

The way of the forger is no longer

ments are forged was the clumsiness
of the forger in many instances.
The young man who thinks he can
tamper with a death certificate by
a little scratching out and over¬
writing deserves his eight months
for his folly, let alone his crime.
Of a rather different order is the
clever forger who deftly eliminated
the letter “y” from “your,”
thereby occasioning a lawsuit, in
which Col. Mansfield came along,
and showed up the “ y ” and the
wherefore at the same time. These
“ luminograms ” as Col. Mansfield
calls them, must strike terror to
the forger’s heart. He tells us, too,
that ice is valuable for detecting
alterations in documents. Often,
even with the ultra-violet fluorescent,
it may not be possible to see any¬
thing significant, but if the stamp
or whatever it be is put on a piece
of ice the transgression is imme¬
diately apparent. It is the short
waves, the cold end of the spectrum,
that defeat the forger, and the
other end, the infra-red, has proved
of no particular value. Perhaps the
forger of the future will in his turn
take up the study of the infra-red
and outwit the detective with his
ultra-violet.
Deceptive Back Views.
Ceylon is the island we sing about
where every prospect pleases and
only man is vile. We have always
thought this was a libel on the
Cingalese, and now a returned
traveller from that spicy land tells
us that it is certainly untrue of the
Cingalese from one aspect, for they
are, for the photographer, the finest
models in the world. They are
completely lacking in self-conscious¬
ness, and yet they know what is
expected of them. Their skin is of
a beautiful golden-brown colour,
and their bodies from the neck to
the waist have a curiously lithe and
willowy appearance which fits them
at once into a rectangular frame.
The men wear their hair in a bun at
the back, or sometimes it falls in
wavy tresses to the waist, which has
its disadvantages, for the photo¬
grapher may see one of them in
front of him and determine to get a
face view of this lovely maiden.
but “ she,” when he gets himself
into position, proves to be a bearded
and toothless old man.
The Dog and the Poster.
Until recently (writes a corres¬
pondent) I had an idea that ani¬
mals — even that most intelligent
of animals, the dog — could not
appreciate pictures on the flat. My
own little black-and-tan terrier
was to teach me better. I was
seeing some friends off on the station
platform when “ Mac ” spotted a
large poster advertising a certain
dog biscuit. The poster illustrated
a life-size dog with a wistful ex¬
pression of countenance, which
aroused “ Mac’s ” liveliest interest.
He sprang on to the platform seat
just below the poster, put his fore¬
paws on the back of the seat, and
gazed up at the poster as one dog
to another, making a dismal howl
meanwhile. I took him to the
platform again next day, when he
kindly repeated the performance,
and a photograph including the
poster has been taken and sent to
the proprietors of the dog biscuit.
“ Mac ” now expects a gratuitous
supply of that nutritious article
for the rest of his life.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries on topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Copying Daguerreotype.
I have a valuable daguerreotype portrait from which I par¬
ticularly want to get some good photographic copies. The plate
is badly tarnished, so that the image is not at all clear. If you
think it is possible for me to copy it, will you please describe the
procedure ? I have had some experience of ordinary copying.
C. L. E. {Glasgow.)
You must realise, first of all, that doing anything at all
to a daguerreotype involves a certain amount of risk, even in
skilled hands. It is often the case, however, that the portrait
has become so obscured that it is of no interest or value as it
stands, and so it is worth while taking the risk in the hope that
all may go well, and the portrait be restored to its original
condition.
Bear In mind that from beginning to end of the proceedings
the surface of the plate must on no account be touched, even
with a finger-tip, or irreparable damage may result.
You must first dismantle the daguerreotype, by removing it
from its frame or case. You will find the glass and the copper
plate bound together with paper. It is best to immerse the
whole thing in clean water till the paper binding comes
away, and the plate can be handled separately by the edges
alone.
If the tarnish is a steely blue in colour it may be removed
by a plain hypo bath, but in any case we prefer the following
treatment, which will remove tarnish that will not yield to
hypo. Obtain a small quantity of potassium cyanide, “which is
a deadly poison and must be signed for. Make up a solution of
five grains to the ounce of the distilled water.
Lay the plate in a clean dish and flow the cyanide over it,
rocking gently. If necessary pour off and renew the solution
till the tarnish has completely disappeared. Then rinse the
plate well in ordinary water, finishing in several changes of
distilled water. To dry, hold the plate by one corner with
pliers, drain, and hold at an angle above a spirit lamp so that
drying starts at the top corner and proceeds evenly and rapidly
to the bottom.
To copy the portrait it is well worth while, if not absolutely
necessary, to fit up an accessory for the purpose. First
ascertain the distance required from lens to portrait when
making the copy, and make a long narrow box of a trifle over
this length. The box may be of stout cardboard, or of ply¬
wood, and must be painted, dead black inside.
One end of this box, or square tube, is pierced for the lens to
peep through. At the other end are runners into which the
daguerreotype can be slid, so that it is supported in a vertical
position at the end of the box. Further, a part of one side of
the box, at this end, must be cut away, so that light can reach
the portrait.
The box must be manipulated in relation to the source
of light, until the portrait, as seen by the lens, is at its best,
and the copy can be made. As you are familiar with copying
there is no need to enlarge upon this stage of the work, but
you will find that exposure has to be decidedly on the long
side, and development rather full.
The plate and glass must be bound together again with great
care, the object being to exclude air, or further tarnishing will
soon appear.

Such vi^idespread interest has been X T A T T ^ I ^ ^
aroused recently on the subject of % # I I / m I I I ■
modern roll -film materials, their V — ' A. M J. M.
grain-size, speed and colour sensi¬
tivity, that the following observations, conducted over the last few months, may
prove of some help to those who, through lack of funds, patience or time, are
unable to go into this very absorbing question whole-heartedly themselves.
IT will be readily understood that
different types of fikn have
different characteristics — for in¬
stance, a medium-speed fine-grain
film will, as will be explained later,
give a slightly better rendering of
tone values than a similar film of
three or four times that speed, quite
apart from the fine-grain qualities
of the former.
As panchromatic emulsions are
used almost exclusively by serious
photographers, all the following tests
were made on this type of film, but
the remarks should apply equally
to ordinary non-colour-sensitive
films and plates.
The films used for the tests were
divided into two classes, viz. : —
A. Medium Speed.
Agfa Pan Fine Grain.
Kodak Panatomic.
Selo Fine Grain Pan.
B. Super Speed.
Agfa Super Pan Ultra-speed.
Kodak Supersensitive Pan.
Selo Hypersensitive Pan.
Tests of exposure of the films of
Class A revealed an almost uniform
speed. On development with a nor¬
mal M.Q. developer containing soda
carbonate, all Class A films showed
brilliance of image, fine grain, and
complete absence of fog.
It must be noted here that the
development time of these films is
comparatively short, otherwise ex¬
cessive contrast and a coarser grain
size will result.
The next step was then to see what
could be done to secure a still finer
grain size. Accordingly, Burroughs
Wellcome fine-grain “Tabloid” de¬
veloper and Johnson’s “fine grain ”
developer were tried according to
their instructions.
Class A films were then developed
in these developers and revealed
results showing slightly less grain
than the normal M.Q. developer. An
M.Q. Borax developer gave similar
results.
To make the test complete another
fine-grain developer was sought, and
a choice made of pyro-acetone, of
which the following is a typical for¬
mula: —
Pyro . . . . . . b3 grs.
Acetone . . . . 36 min.
Soda sulphite (anhy.) goo grs.
Pot. bromide . . . . 9 grs.
Water . . . . . . 20 oz.
Again Class A films were de¬
veloped, and results compared with
those developed in aforementioned
developers.
Here is a summing-up in a nutshell
of the developers employed :
Class A Films.
Developed in normal M.Q. de¬
veloper containing soda carbonate ;
Plucky negatives of excellent contact
printing quality, grain objectionable
on medium glossy paper at 14
diameters.
Burroughs Wellcome and John¬
son’s fine-grain developers : Slightly
softer negatives of ideal enlarging
quality. Grain size remarks as above.
Pyro-acetone developer. As
above re softness and enlarging
quality. Grain size objectionable at
16 diameters.
It was therefore very evident that
when a special fine-grain emulsion
is used, there is little one can do to
reduce grain further by developers
alone ; it is more a question of
not increasing the grain size ‘by
attention to the following : —
A. — Full exposure.
B. — Minimum development time
consistent with contrast.
C. — Temperature of aU chemical
and washing processes fairly constant
between 60 and 65 degrees Fahr.
D. — Drying in current of dry air
at about 75 degrees Fahr.
Now to the trial of the super¬
483
sensitive panchromatic films in Class
B, all of which are of a relatively
high speed, and have a pronounced
sensitivity to the red regions of
the spectrum, rendering them extra
sensitive to artificial light.
Class B Films.
Development of these Class B
films was carried out in exactly the
same manner as Class A, with the
exception that development time
was of necessity increased by nearly
as much again as Class A films.
Results showed : Developed in
normal ^I.Q. containing soda car¬
bonate. Coarse grain, and a defi¬
nite loss in high-light gradation as
compared to Class A films. Grain
well marked at 6 diameters on
medium glossy paper.
Burroughs Wellcome, Johnson’s
and borax developers. Grain much
finer, still a loss of high-light grada¬
tion, and' contrast rather low.
Grain observable at g diameters.
Pyro-acetone. Grain stiU finer,
high-light quality poor, and contrast
poor. Grain objectionable at 12
diameters.
By developing Class B films for
more contrast, either by using
stronger developer or longer develop¬
ment time, an improvement is made
in general printing quality, but only
at the expense of a coarser grain size.
Films of great speed require much
more careful thought as regards
exposure and subsequent treatment
than those of medium speed, but,
provided that consideration of their
limitations in high-light response is
applied, they can, and wiU, if
properly treated, produce negatives
of a very high standard.
Their very speed makes them
indispensable, especially for pictures
which have to be taken under ad¬
verse lighting conditions, but, for
perfect “quality,” a medium -speed
film is to be preferred. A. Furness.

Xettering
for Photograph Titles
By
DONALD TUCKER.
The winter evenings will see amateur photographers at work on their pictures
of the summer. By no means unimportant when the prints are at last finished
and mounted is to title them. With cine pictures, also, it is the titles which give
interest and coherence to the whole. Unfortunately, many good pictures are
spoilt by bad lettering; a few words in season may not, therefore, come amiss.
A CASUAL glance through dis¬
played newspaper ■ advertise¬
ments reveals a variety of letter
styles. Like other forms of artistic
expression, lettering is largely a matter
of taste ; present-day tendencies are
toward neatness and simplicity more
than to the grotesque or over-decorated,
and in titling photographs it is better
to depend upon correctness of shape
and clearness of line rather than
elaborateness.
Aptness of the style chosen should
always be taken into consideration ;
Old English black letter would be
incongruous if used in describing
pictures of an aircraft display, but the
same characters would be in keeping
with photographs of a cathedral.
Not all founts of letters used in
books and newspapers are suitable
for freehand reproduction. It is best
to adopt a style which naturally
adapts itself to the pen. Series one
and three illustrated here are admirable
styles to copy for that reason. The
other series may also be found useful.
It the amateur wishes to give
variety to his album pages he may
find many suggestions in the displayed
advertisements already mentioned,
while Vere Foster’s copybook of
“ Plain and Ornamental Lettering ”
(published by Blackie and Son) is a
great help. Most booksellers probably
have other books on the subject that
can be inspected. In seeking variety
of style, however, it is best to limit
oneself to three “ founts ” for any
one album page or movie title.
Using correct materials will assist
toward a happy result. White ink
should be used on black or dark-toned
papers ; Indian ink may be used on
light-toned backgrounds. Cine titles
are best made on black paper with
either white ink or white-lead pencil
(Conte de Paris, qd. each) ; white ink
is more adaptable to thumbnail
sketches if these are included.
Pens should be chosen according to
the work they are to do. For black-
letter text and thick-stemmed letters a
" Relief ” or “J ” nib is suitable, but for
fine hair-lines something more pointed,
such as a mapping pen, is called for.
Most artists’ colourmen and stores
also supply special pens and nibs for
lettering. These are made in a variety
of thicknesses and flexibility. One
or more should certainly be bought if
much lettering is done.
Finally, do not blot the work, but
allow it to dry naturally, after which
pencil lines, if used, may be erased
with a soft india-rubber.

LANTERN SLIDES IN BLACK-AND-WHITE
A SIMPLE method is suggested where
it is proposed to make diagram slides
showing figures in line black-and-
white, such as copies of graphs, copies
of simple illugtrations out of textbooks,
or titles which are to be printed by hand.
A piece of cellophane paper of the
clear white variety is gummed to a
card frame larger than the size of the
slide, i.e., 3TX3] in., and the gum is
allowed to dry, care being taken that
the card does not warp unduly in the
process. The subject matter is then
written or traced upon the cellophane,
using a good indian ink. Ne.xt, the
cellophane is cut to the size of the slide
and is mounted in the usual way between
two slide covers.
Upon projection, if the hand-work
has been carefully executed, the result
is equally as good as the same thing
photographically copied and a slide
made from the negative. The method
suggested has the advantages of being
easier of control, and is, of course, much
cheaper.
Slides of a purely temporary nature
, can be made by making a -small frame
the size of a lantern slide, and writing
upon a piece of cellophane stretched
over the frame and gummed in position.
These will pass into the projection gate
of most lanterns, but the slide carrier
of many lanterns is so constructed that
it is essential to mount the cellophane
between glass. This is also advisable
where the source of light is one giving
out great heat.

EVER before have you been able to
enjoy the advantages of a high-precision
camera taking 35 mm. film for anything like
the “Retina” price of £10.10.0.
New versatility and freedom, new speed
and precision, new convenience and
economy — the “Retina” gives you all this
at a price unrivalled for a 35 mm. model.
And it is not only on account of its low price
that the “Retina” is everyman’s miniature
camera. It Is also unusually easy to use.
With its Schneider “Xenar” f3.5 Lens and
the m i n iatu re camera for every man

EXPOSURE and ENLARGING
Many amateurs, when balancing their photographic
budget, must have found thh item " Bromide Papers ”
somewhat high compared with the results obtained.
We have all experienced the difficulty of judging exposure
accurately, but the following method should enable waste to
be cut down to a rriinimum.
Only a very simple piece of apparatus is needed, and this
consists of a " Justophot” or other exposure meter working
on the extinction principle, and a light-tight container for
an electric bulb, similar to that shown in Fig. i herewith. A
is a wooden box, with a lamp, B, at one end, a diffuser, C,
about 3 in. from the opposite end, and an opening, D, to hold
the negative. It is, in fact, a lamphouse and negative-
holder, and those who have an enlarger (preferably one work¬
ing on the diffused-light principle) will have the necessary
apparatus ready-made, provided that the essential parts can
be readily detached.
The completed accessory is shown in Fig. 2. X is the
exposure meter, suitably mounted at a fixed distance from Y,
the lamphouse ; Z is a shade, made of cardboard or other
suitable material, which helps to prevent extraneous light from
reaching the exposure meter.
The whole apparatus is very' simple to use. A negative
of average density is selected, and the correct exposure required
to give a good print ascertained by the “ test-strip “ method.
The negative is then placed in the holder, the light switched
on, and the reading taken with the meter in the same way as if
a photograph were to be taken.
Let us assume that the negative gave a good enlargement
in 30 seconds, and that the meter reading was i/5th of a
second at f/8. A second negative, which it is also desired to
enlarge, is substituted and a meter reading again taken. If
this came to, say, i/5th of a second at f/ii, it is clear that the
light passing through the second negative is twice as strong
as that passing through the first, i.e., the second negative is
only half as dense as the first, and therefore requires only one-
half the e.xposure, namely, 15 seconds.
The exposure could similarly be calculated for negatives of
all densities, without resorting to the use of test strips. The
method, however, is most useful when used in conjunction
with the latter, as the exposure can first be calculated by means
A
Fic.n.
of the meter, and then confirmed by means of a small piece of
sensitive paper. This is of especial utility when making
pictures for exhibition work, where the quality of the print is
of first importance. W. E. H. Fuller.

is where money can be well spent on
a reflex or other screen-focussing
type of camera ; but, with a little
practice and a foot rule, distances
and centralisation of subject can
be judged to a nicety. Also, as

the type of studies possible is

Here is described how any intelli¬
gent amateur camera-user may enjoy
the pleasant and inexpensive pas¬
time of child photography in the
easiest possible way.
With the end of summer daylight,
most amateur photographers put
away their cameras, not thinking of
the wonders of flashlight.
Many readers will think expensive
apparatus is necessary, but, whilst
it is nice to have the very best for
easy working, first-class results can
be obtained with the simplest box
“ Brownie,” or other similar cheap
camera, and a shillingsworth of
flashpowder. A ” Brownie,” with
its lens aperture of f/ii, is ideal for
definition in flashlight work, and,
providing fast film is used, perfect
exposures can be obtained with lo
grains of powder fired at about six
to eight feet from the subject.
The difficulty, with cameras having
only a small view-finder and no
focussing-screen, is in composing

camera with little or no extension will
overcome this difficulty to some ex¬
tent. The camera should be used
on a tripod or other firm support.
Regarding the lens. The large
aperture of f/4.5 is very useful for
composing and focussing with a
reflex camera, but in practice I
never use a larger aperture than
f/6.3, and always prefer f/ii or
smaller to obtain the greatest detail.
Small apertures, of course, require
very fast films (or plates), and the
brightest possible light, but happily
both are easily obtained.
The fastest emulsion nowadays is
panchromatic, and as modern high¬
speed pan. films are even more
sensitive in artificial light they give
the best results for this work, and
are well worth the slight extra cost.
Flashpowder is sold in shilling
packets, giving a dozen or so pic¬
tures, if ten grains is the usual
amount fired.
The example pictures were made
on all makes and types of emulsion,
the lens aperture being altered to
suit their different speeds, but for
the beginner in flashlight work it is
far best to use only one make and
type of film, as then the same amount
of flashpowder will perfectly expose
pictures taken at the same aperture
in each case.

POINTS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT.
NOTES C NOTIONS
the
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
Fig. I.
A GREAT many questions buzz
around me about developmenc,
especially that method known
as " time and temperature.” The
very nature of the questions often
shows misapprehensions about de¬
velopment in general, and this method
in particular; for example, ” How- long
should a negative be in the de¬
veloper ? ” to which the only answer
is, ” Till it is time to take it out.”
All development is actually a ques¬
tion of time and temperature, inas¬
much as the negative must be in the
solution for some time or other, and
that this time may have to be increased
or diminished according to the tem¬
perature of the solution.
I will try to deal in the simplest-
possible manner, not so much with
one method of development, but with
the general principles underlying all
negative-making. Put broadly, the
problem is this. We have to produce
in the negative a certain range or
series (T tones or densities, so that
these in turn will produce a corres¬
ponding series of
tones in the positive.
We may . suppose,
for the sake of sim¬
plicity, that the
positive is a “ black-
and-white” print,
such as we make on
bromide paper.
In the negative
we ma}^ want only a
short range of tones,
or a long one. The
subject may con¬
tain a longer range
of tones than we
can secure on either
negative or print.
No printing paper
can render more tones
than there are in the
negative but it may often register fewer.
The simplest proposition of all is to
make a negative of a ” black on white ”
subject, such as a line drawing in
jet-black ink on a pure white paper.
The parts of the negative representing
the black lines must be so clear that
they will pass sufficient light to the
paper to produce the deepest black
the paper will give. The parts of the
negative representing the white paper
must be so dense that during the
whole of the exposure they will not
allow light to penetrate to the paper
so as to degrade it in the slightest.
With proper methods and materials
this is easily done, and we can get a
print practically indistinguishable from
the original drawing.
Our usual negative-making is not
by any means so simple as this.
To go a step farther I want you
to consider making a copy of a draw¬
ing of the kind shown in the illustra¬
tion. This particular example is
from an original wash drawing of
what the artist calls the oldest in¬
habited house in England, but I do
not ask for any correspondence chal¬
lenging the statement.
The artist’s lightest parts in the
sketch have been obtained by leaving
the white paper ; his darkest touches
by using indian ink at full strength ;
and between these two extremes he
has introduced washes and touches of
different strengths, from the palest
of greys to a tone almost as dark as
the black itself.
So in making a photographic copy
of it the problem was to produce a
16

ta 6 CIMEMATOGRAPHER a
negative that would give a print with
the following features. The paper
must be white where the artist had
left his paper white. There must be
a deep black deposit of silver where
the artist had used full-strength
colour. Between the two must be
as complete a series of gradations of
silver deposit as there were inter¬
mediate tones in the sketch. My
original print shows all these features
exactly, although the reproduction
does not.
I refer to Fig. 2 ; because it is
evident that Fig. i does not show
anything corresponding to the white
paper or the black touches, nor does
it show more than a scanty few of the
other tones. Both negatives had the
same exposure, and were put into the
developer at the same time, but No. i
was taken out long before No. 2.
The difierence between the two results
is due to different development times.
I could print No. i darker or lighter,
but it would be false either way.
Suppose that soon after the two
negatives were put into the developer
I took one out, and could examine it
in a good light without its fogging
all over, what should I see ? The
greater part of the surface would have
its original creamy appearance, and
here and there might appear little
patches of grey, some rather darker
than others. The darker greys would
indicate the white paper of the
original ; the lighter greys the lightest
tones in the sketch. So that we might
indicate the condition of the negative
by the figures o, i, 2 ; where o is
the unaltered emulsion, i the light
grey, and 2 the darker one.
If I had left the negative in the
solution longer, the two greys would
have got darker, and other various
depths of grey would have appeared
in the previously blank areas ; so
that we might now represent the
condition by o, i, 2, 3, 4, 5.
But even then some of the very
dark greys in the sketch might not
have appeared in the creamy areas,
and the number 5 density might not
be sufficient to stop the light so
completely as to leave white paper
on the print. Therefore we should
have to continue development, so that
we obtained such a series of gradations
as o, I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 9, 10. Then
the clear parts (o) would give blacks
on the print; the densest parts (10)
would keep the paper white ; and
the other parts (i to 9) would fill in
the intermediate greys.
This is about as far as I can go at
present. It shows, at any rate, that
short development will give little
contrast, and that prolonging develop¬
ment increases it. We must assume
that the exposure was such that by
the time the high-lights in the print
were dense enough in the negative,
the greys, down to the lightest, had
all appeared ; and that the only
clear parts in the negative were those
representing the blacks in the sketch.

AT AUCTION.
Sir, — In this school we have a boys’ magazine club, and
included in the list is The Amateur Photographer.
This is a new venture, and it was thought that probably
some boys would like to have the copies as they were with¬
drawn from circulation. Consequently, they were afterwards
put up for auction, and I thought that perhaps you might be
interested to know that for forty-two numbers of your paper,
the published price of which is los. 6d., the buyer paid 8s.
Surely a testimony to the value of your paper, which I, per¬
sonally, endorse. — Yours, etc., W. F. W.- KING.

A HINT TO THE R.P.S.
— Reading in " The A.P.” some time back of the possible
change of premises of the " Royal ” in the near future, it has
often occurred to me that there is further scope for extension
of its amenities in the formation of a luncheon club with club
licence, where members could sit and chat in comfort over
lunch or refreshment.
If this is of interest, your " Letters to the Editor ” page might
bring other suggestions on the matter. — Yours, etc.,

NUMBERING NEGATIVES.
Sir, — With regard to the difficulty experienced by Mr.
Slade in finding a method of marking index numbers on
negatives, may I point out to him that an ordinary pin will
scratch on th’e film side of the rebate a number which is perfectly
legible by transmitted light ? — Yours, etc., W. O. WITTON.
BRITISH AND FOREIGN.
Sir, — I was recently told that to be successful in British
photography one should either be a foreigner or go abroad for
one’s subjects. This I denied, but was forced to admit that
my informant was apparently right, when faced with " The
Year’s Photography,” the R.P.S. publication.
Of fifty plates, about forty are by foreigners, or of foreign
subjects ; of the other ten, about six are possibly British, and
only one really British, Plate V. — ^Yours, etc., '
H. STUART Mackenzie.
A PHOTOGRAPHIC HUSTLE.
Sir, — Some very excellent advice given in the first column
of " Pictures of the Week,” attracted me. There is a class
of workers, however, that it does not touch. One belongs to
a society such as the Royal, or British Archaeological Societies.
I belong to both. Once a year a Congress is arranged lasting
a week or more. A programme of visits to churches, castles,
abbeys, etc., compiled, the time allowed for inspection of each
church is limited, and often curtailed from a photographic
point of view by a lecture. The distance from one’s home
is generally considerable. To secure photographic records of
the churches, etc., visited, much ingenuity of procedure is
necessary. I am writing after years of experience.
How one should secure photographs of interiors you often
explain — focussing camera, with swing back, backed plates,
several lenses, firm tripod.
Could any reader describe the best way to secure such
photographs when : Forty minutes is the scheduled time of
the visit ; a lecture is given from the pulpit lasting twenty
minutes ; the church contains inside : 12th-century font,
double piscina, fine stone screen, wine-glass pulpit; outside: a
scratch dial, doorway in buttress, sanctuary knocker on door
under heavy porch.
This looks almost impossible. I am astonished myself at
the results I secure under such conditions.
Do any of your readers make the attempt, and with what
results ? What is it essential to possess in the way of apparatus
in order to get passable photographic records in the time ? — •
Yours, etc., FRED. J. BRAND.
MINIATURE CAMERA WORK.
Sir, — Mr. C. W. Martin advises Mr. Burr to use fine-grain
developer and so rid himself of his difficulty in getting definition.
Alas ! I know from painful experience that the trouble goes
deeper than that. Can you buy for £6 to /lo an f/2.9 miniature
camera which will give definition sufficient for enlargement up
to postcard size ? Our own " W. L. F. W.” recently reviewed
one and was delighted with it, but his snaps were not at the
full f/2.9 of the lens. Having tried three times I can tell Mr.
Burr that it can be done, but only if he is lucky. These cameras
are mass-produced, and the price does not allow of much
testing. Anyone who buys one, .especially a second-hand
model, should carefully test it with camera rigidly supported,
and at measured distance. If under these perfect conditions
the definition is not good enough then it is useless, and though
many of them are, the rest are excellent. But it is pure luck.

favour. The only alteration I have
made is to get rid of some of the weight
and bulk of my quarter-plate reflex by
changing to a 3A X 2|-, and this size I
find quite sufficient for all ordinary
work, especially as I never make a
contact print.
" As to sensitive material I have come
to prefer the film pack, though I still
have a liking for the plate ; one can do
so much with a plate in the way of
intensifying, reducing, retouching or
other modification that is not quite so
easy with a film. And speaking of
plates I might be expected to say that I
invariably use panchromatics ; but in
fact I do not always use them, although
I admit their fine qualities. I am not
convinced that a pan. plate is the best
under all conditions, and as ,I develop
by (cautious) inspection it means de¬
sensitising first. Speaking for myself.
John Keane.
I doubt if one gets quite the same result
after desensitising as by direct develop¬
ment without. That is as it may be.
Again, the weight of several packets of
plates, even in 3-I X 2I size, becomes a
consideration when one is going on a
holiday, especially abroad.
" My negatives are developed slowly
with Azol, and with the aim of getting
plenty of delicate detail that will tell in
enlarging. I think that anyone should
be able to make a good negative ; the
trouble really starts when one begins
to print.
" If I were asked what is my favourite
printing process I should reply that it
was the oil process ; not that I use it
very often, but that I think it gives the
picture-maker more scope than any
other process (including bromoil) to
express himself by exercising control.
But this means an enlarged negative ;
and the days are gone when ardent
amateurs were content to work in a
dark-room until the small hours of the
morning, making transparencies and
then enlarged negatives. Bromoil spares
us this labour and expense, and so with
me has practically replaced its fore¬
runner, oil.
" My usual and favourite size for a
print is 15x12; and I find it best,
having selected the most promising
negative from the latest batch, to make
a straight enlargement, pin it on a
drawing-board, and consider it at inter¬
vals for a week or two before deciding on
the final treatment. I say the latest
batch because I find there is more zest
and pleasure and inspiration in dealing
with the newer ones before, the novelty
of them has worn off.
" There is no one process that meets
the requirements of every subject, and
most negatives are the better for a little
editing ; but occasionally nature is
kind, and I get just the right thing ;
and then a bromide print gives me all
I want, choosing either a cool-toned
paper or a warm one, as the subject
demands. The Carbro process is one
to which I am also partial, since it gives
an added strength and juiciness, as well
as a long range of colours.”
IT may stagger some of the younger
photographers to learn that I
started my photographic career
with a whole-plate camera. Of course,
to-day no amateur would dream of using
such a heavy outfit, apart from the cost
of plates ; but plates and materials
were not the same price years ago as
they are to-day. It is worth remember¬
ing, however, that with a suitable whole-
plate negative it is possible to make a
direct print in any medium we may
choose, and that the finished print is
large enough to rub shoulders with
bigger brothers on the exhibition walls.
' ' My ne.xt camera was a .5 X 4 Sander¬
son. Then the reflex caught on, and I
joined the gay throng of its warm ad¬
mirers. I have never wished to change
it, in spite of the allurements of the
attractive and practical little instru¬
ments ndw fast growing in popular

Same Critkal Cammente “ “
Last week, the theme under dis-
j cussion was the adjustment of
the printing paper to the con¬
trasts of the negative. It was shown,
inter alia, that the purpose of making
such an adjustment was to enable
the print to record all the tones of the
negative, and, in so doing, to render
the subject tones with due regard
to truth ; but, at the same time, it
was mentioned that the degree of
colour sensitivity of the plate or film
had a great deal to do with the proper
rendering of the tone values of the
sky.
Tone and Colour.
The ordinary run of photographic
emulsions is overwhelmingly sensitive
to ultra-violet and blue. Orthochro-
matic emulsions are faintly sensitive
to yellow and green, but practically
insensitive to red. The photographic
image, with emulsions of this nature,
is therefore almost entirely attribut¬
able to light action from the ultra¬
violet and blue rays.
The human eye — to use the same
term — is insensitive to ultra-violet,
and equally sensitive to the three
primary colours — blue, red, and yellow.
There must be, in consequence, a
discrepancy between the tone values
given by such emulsions and those
seen visually, and this difference is
chiefly manifested, as far as out-of-
door work is concerned, by a rendering
of the sky in too bright a tone. This
may not be a scientifically accurate
explanation, but it is near enough to
afford a foundation for practical work
and provide a principle to enable the
process to be understood.
Nevertheless, the colour sensitivity
of ortho emulsions has been greatly
advanced in recent years, and, when
the conditions are favourable they
can — and do — give a modicum of
tone in the sky, provided, of course,
that this is not rendered unprintable
by over-development of the negative
or not recorded on account of the use
of a too-vigorous printing paper.
Printable Skies.
One or other of these mischances
has happened with Nos. 3 and 6 of
the prints reproduced on the opposite
page — " In Harbour,” by John E.
Adams, and " The Lighthouse Pier,”
by B. M. Burton — for the skies are
devoid of tone, and everything points
to either over-development of the
negative or the use of a paper of too
vigorous a character. The remedy
indicated last week of substituting
a softer grade of paper is the only
way by which an improvement may
be obtained, and such is recommended.
Both Nos. 2 and 5, “ Home on the
Evening Breeze,” by R. A. Mackin¬
tosh, and " The Paddle Steamer,” by
T. A. Thornton, are appreciably
better, and, if the tone of the clouds is
not quite all that could be wished,
it is probably as good as could be
got with ordinary or orthochromatic
plates and films, i.e., without a light
filter. With a filter of medium depth,
it is just possible that more of the
finer gradations would be rendered,
and, in general, the sky would be
recorded in a deeper tone.
A filter, however, acts by cutting
out those rays of light to which the
emulsion is most sensitive. If its
depth is enough to be of any use, it
will cut out the whole of the ultra¬
violet and not a little of the blue, and,
having regard to the low sensitivity of
these emulsions to light of the remain¬
ing colours, the increase required in
the exposure time is enormous.
Screens and “ Pans.”
The case is different when emulsions
of the fully colour-sensitive or pan¬
chromatic type are employed. They
are very much more sensitive to blue,
yellow and red than the ordinary or
ortho class, but are still over-affected
by ultra-violet. The majority are
also somewhat more sensitive to blue
than yellow or red, though it is
claimed that they are equally sensitive
to all colours.
With them it is still necessary to
use a light filter or screen ; but while
it may cut out all the ultra-violet and
a portion of the blue, the increased
sensitivity of the emulsion to the
balance of the spectrum enables a
comparatively short exposure to be
given. Where, with ortho emulsions,
a screen would require an increase in
exposure of about twelve to sixteen
times, it would only need multiplying
by four if a plate or film of the pan¬
chromatic variety were chosen instead.
Moreover, the rendering of skies
is greatly facilitated, and so great is
the difference between No. 4, “Her¬
ring Boats, Peel,” by J. Thwaites,
and the rest on the page, that it would
not be surprising to learn that ^a
panchromatic emulsion, smtably
screened, had been employed.
Modulation and Values.
The sky, in this case, is fuU of
modulation, and is noticeably darker
than the lights of the sunshine on the
white paint of the boats in the fore¬
ground. This is as it should be, and
as it would appear to the eye. 'I ne
values seem true, and there is no
sense of an exaggerated brightness
attaching to the sky.
Having regard to the way th; sun¬
light on the boats is rendered, it can
be imagined what a gain there would
be if, in the case of No. i, ‘‘ Homeric,”
by Miss G. M. Jones, a pancliromatic
plate or film had been employed.
There is a perceptible difference,
even now, between the tone of the
white paint in sunshine and the blue
of the sky against which it comes.
It is, however, by no means comparable
with either what the eye would see or
the way in which it would be presented
by a panchromatic emulsion, especi¬
ally if used with a filter.
Beauty and Effect.
Had this been used, the tone of the
sky would be appreciably darker, and
the light would glow against it. The
effect is one of considerable beauty ;
it has been very well seen ; and it is
something of a pity that the photo¬
graphic rendering has fallen short of
what it might have been.
There is, too, an unfortunate fog¬
marking on the right-hand side, prob¬
ably arising from allowing the roll
of film to become slack when loading
or unloading. It is a fault that is
easily avoided if precautions are
always taken to prevent any such
slackness occurring, and this should
be done, for, to say the least, it is
annoying to find a number of exposures
ruined through carelessness in this
direction.
There is no real remedy, apart from
extensive local retouching, or very
careful local extra printing.

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
«
GO ON,” hy Miss M. Eitner.
To make a satisfactory group of
three figures in Indian file — the
one following the other — is not
an easy task, nor is it one that is
attempted with any degree of fre¬
quency. The main difficulty is to
keep the group coherent, or, perhaps,
prevent it from seeming too dis¬
sociated ; and another factor which
provides a task is the adjustment of
the relative degree of attrac¬
tion of each figure, so that,
while one is predominant,
the others are not relegated
into insignificance.
Relative Attraction.
It would obviously be un¬
desirable that each of the
three figures should claim
an equal share of the atten¬
tion, nor, in point of fact,
would it be easy to accom¬
plish. It would also be imwise,
as a general rule, to show one
figure so prominently that
the other two exerted a
negligible pull, for it would
then involve a sacrifice of
the quahties that a successful
grouping affords.
Rather is it preferable that,
while each of the figures
should be endowed with a
differing degree of attraction,
one should be just sufficiently
more prominent than the
others to be decisively the
chief ; one should be a little
less in importance, and the
third should just fall short
of the interest excited by the
second.
That this progression has
been achieved in this instance
is apparent at a glance at the
accompanying sketch. The
most important is the leader (i). After
him, the girl in the middle (2) takes
the second place, while the other girl
{3), as the last of the line, becomes the
least significant. There are several
reasons which account for the figures
ranking in this order. In the first
place, the direction of movement is
upward and from right to left. As
the figures occur in succession, the
leader of this movement necessarily
excites the greatest share of the
attention, the other two appealing
in much the same degree as the order
in which they appear.
Diagonal Composition.
A similar sense of order is suggested
by the degree of contrast which is
contained within the outline of each
figure. The figure of the boy, with
his black trousers and white shirt.
offers a greater measure of contrast
than either of the othem. Between
the two girls, perhaps, there is not
so much difference, but No. 2 just
seems to have it.
The composition, too, is arranged
in the form of a diagonal. It is not
very usual, but it is none the less
forceful for that, and it has the ten¬
dency to direct the attention upwards
and emphasise any item which appears
at the top. This factor also stresses
the relative order of attraction, and,
besides, plays no small part in sug¬
gesting a sense of cohesion. This
impression is very considerably aided
by the fact that the three elements are
shown hand in hand, by which means
a real connection — as distinct from
one that is imaginary — is established.
The connection so formed enables
the figures to be considered as a group
and not as a separate collec¬
tion of divided entities. It
co-ordinates the attraction of
the three, and, while retaining
a sufficiency of individuality
in each element as well as the
needed order of precedence,
enables both the group and
the picture as a whole to
impart the very necessary
suggestion of unity.
Another noteworthy fea¬
ture of the arrangement of
the composition is the re¬
iteration of the diagonal lines,
both in the line of the edge
of the roof and the verges
of the path.
Dominating Lines.
These lines dominate the
composition. They make it
exceedingly forceful and
strong, but, lest they become
over-assertive, the lines of
the tiling to the right are
introduced, and offer enough
opposition to prevent any
such suggestion. At the same
time, they afford a certain
sense of support, and, alto¬
gether, the composition is
admirably managed.
There is just a sufficiency
of shadow to make the sun¬
shine evident, and the effect,
too, is helped by the dark
local colour of the grass in the fore¬
ground. The placing of the sunlit
parts of the figures against the shad¬
owed part of the wall is clever, and
much of the success with which the
effect is displayed is attributable to
this cause. The work is undeniably
well done, and not a little of its
charm lies in its naivete and the
engaging insouciance of its spontaneous
presentation. It is really full of good
points. “Mentor.”

ISJEW BOOKS
^ ^ that will appeal to the Photographer
“ The Kingdom of the Camera,”
by T. Thorne Baker (G. Bell & Sons,
Ltd., York House, Portugal Street,
W.C.2. 7s. 6d.). A book that will appeal
to every photographer, and also to those
who do not practise photography, is
this new volume written by Mr. T.
•Thorne Baker. It strikes a different
note from the usual photographic hand¬
book, and is one of Bell's Popular
Science series which -are issued under
the inclusive heading of “ Science for
the General Reader.” This describes it
exactly, and Mr. Baker, whose name is
well known to our readers as an autho¬
rity on a variety of photographic
subjects, particularly colour photography
and emulsion making, has done his task
well. The book presents the story of
photography to the general reader in
a most attractive manner. The story
covers a large field and carries the reader
pleasantly enough from one topic to
another, including journalism, medicine,
aviation, industry, crime, engineering,
television, photo-micrography, radio¬
graphy, sound-films, etc., until at last
the truth is apparent — that photography
is one of the most important factors in
the progress of the world to-day. Each
of the phases referred to is dealt with in
a readable fashion, and while it is in
no sense an instruction book, it includes
sufficient detail of applied photography
to give the general reader a very good
idea of each particular process. The
book is admirably illustrated, and it is
one that can be commended as a volume
that will interest everyone who wishes
to keep abreast with modern progress.
We congratulate Mr. Thorne Baker on
the production of this book.
‘‘ People I have Shot,” by Jarch6
(Methuen & Co., Ltd., 36, Essex Street,
W.C.2. 8s. 6d.). The average newspaper
reader to-day is totally unaware how
the up-to-the-minute photographic illus¬
trations of current events get into the
papers. The fact remains that they are
there, and it has become such an every¬
day occurrence that the absence of
pictures relating to topical events would
probably be more noticeable than their
inclusion. Their presence is largely due
to the activities of the ubiquitous Press
photographer, of which the author of
this book may be regarded as the doyen.
The amateur free-lance photographer
will revel in this book. It is the auto¬
biographical account of the adventures
and “ scoops ” of one of the best-known
Press photographers, James Jarche,
who was attached to the Daily Sketch,
and then became the “ star ” of the
Daily Herald. The story is told in the
most casual and unassuming manner,
and makes attractive reading. In¬
cidentally it discloses the amazing
lengths to which the “live ” pressman goes
to secure news pictures at any cost, and
to beat his rivals. The author has led
a full life, and describes his work in
all parts of the world, and the strange
places he has ventured with his camera.
It is given with a wealth of anecdote
that makes the book at times exciting,
and always entertaining. Many of his
shots are famous and historical in the
annals of illustrated journalism, and
it indicates that the successful Press
photographer must have an adventurous
nature and be untiring in taking risks ;
his camera must always be ready, and
he must have a genius for anticipating
events and seizing opportunities.
“ People I have Shot ” is a book that
could be taken up and read at any time
with interest. It has a characteristic
"foreword” by Hannen Swaffer.
‘‘ Last of the Wind Ships,” by
A. J. Villiers (George Routledge and
Sons, Ltd., Broadway House, Carter
Lane, E.C. 15s.). There are vast num¬
bers of people in this country who love
the sea, and to whom pictures of “ wind¬
jammers” make a special appeal. In
this volume de luxe, Mr. Villiers, who
is already well-known for his pictures of
this subject, tells his tale afresh and in a
more complete form, both as regards
matter and illustrations. It is the
story of his voyage from Port Victoria,
Australia, to Falmouth, round the
Horn, and he recounts the record voyage
of the four-masted barque Parma which
covered over 12,000 miles in eighty-
three days with a cargo of grain. She
was one of the famous ships taking part
The additional activity that was engendered by
our 'Annual Lantern Slide Competition is
reflected in the print competition for October.
A great number of the subjects that were sent in for
lantern slides (and in some cases won prizes) appeared
again as prints in the competition. Many of these
prints are of high quality, and their producers are to
be congratulated on being equally good with both
slides and prints. The entries in all three sections
were well up to the average, and the awards are as
follows ; —
Advanced Workers* Section.
First Prize. — “ The White Mantle,” by John Muller,
53, E. 182nd Street, N.Y.C., N.Y.
Second Prize. — “ Cottages Across the Creek,” by
H. Warwick Nevill, 207, Romford Road, E.7.
Third Prize. — ” Thames Side,” by Edward H.
Brenan, 12, Avenue Rise, Bushey, Herts.
Mounting Prize. — ” White Sisters,” by Denis Whit¬
lock, 44, Scotts Lane, Shortlands, Kent.
Certificates of Merit. — ” Calm Before the Storm,”
by Edwin Broomer, Glendower, Falkland Road,
Torquay ; “ A Sunlit Doorway,” by Hugh Crawford,
Kinvara, Castle Park, Belfast ; ” The Park Gates,”
by A. I. Fairbank, ii. Copers Cope Road, Beckenham,
Kent.
The prints not receiving awards have been grouped,
those in the first group receiving Honourable Mention.
The others have been marked Class i, Class 2 and
Class 3, respectively.
Those awarded Honourable Mention are as follows :
W. J. Allam (London, E.C.) ; George C. Backhouse
(Leeds) ; L. C. Blanchamp (Putney, S.W.) ; Edwin
Broomer (Torquay) ; J. H. Clark (Camberwell) ;
in the annual grain race from Australia,
and the story is told with a simple
charm that will appeal to every reader
who likes an authentic book of adventure.
Mr. Villiers points out that while in
1921 there were one hundred and forty
of these beautiful sailing-ships afloat,
barely- a score are now available, the
rest having disappeared ; and he, with
everyone who Idves sailing-ships, deplores
the fact that within ten years they
will probably have become extinct.
This will mean not only a loss to those
who like beautiful things, but a very
definite loss to the pictorial photographer
whose ambition is to secure a picture of
a windjammer at sea. The literary
portion of this book, which occupies
sixty pages, is admirably written, and is
an epic of the sea which in years to
come will have real historical value,
particularly as the matter' is followed
with two hundred and eight illustrations
which depict the voyage from start to
finish with wonderful realism. The}^
show the ship in calm and in storm, and are
pictures of great charm and originality.
A notable point the author mentions is
that practically all the photographs were
produced with an old Kodak (120)
which he bought from a chemist's
assistant in Port Adelaide in 1927 for
thirty shillings. It has been four times
round the Horn, and is a definite indica¬
tion that it is the man behind the camera
who is responsible for the pictorial
results, provided the camera is a reliable
working instrument, its cost being a
secondary matter. The book concludes
with numerous statistics regarding the
fleet of ships and their activities since
1927, and refers to Captain Erikson, of
Mariehamn, Finland, who is the owner
of the majority of those afloat to-day.
We can heartily commend this book to
every reader who takes an interest in
the sea and sailing-ships.

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
The second highest award in the
ninth annual Kodak International Salon
of Photography, which was opened in
Rochester, U.S.A., to-day, was won by
Mr. F. A. Gant, a member of the Kodak
staff at Kingsway, London. The Salon,
which was founded in England, and is
held in a different country each year,
is open only to members of the Kodak
organisation, and hundreds of entries
are received from all parts of the world.
The premier award, the Eastman Gold
Medal, was won by a Chicago worker.
Mr. T. L. J. Bentley, of the Kodak Works
at Wealdstone, was awarded a bronze
medal, and JVIessrs. C. L. Clarke and J.
Drake, of Kingsway, and Mr. W. Robin¬
son, of Harrow, received certificates.
Camera Club Jubilee. — Following
closely upon the heels of the Jubilee of
Tfie Amateur Photographer, the Camera
Club, which was founded in 1885 by the
then Editor of “ The A.P.,” will be
celebrated in a “ Jubilee Revel ” on
Saturday, 15th December, at 8 p.m.
The Christmas Revels of the Camera
Club are already well-established popular
annual functions, but to celebrate its
fiftieth year the Entertainments Com¬
mittee is going to make this a very
special affair indeed.
The twenty-seventh Salon promoted
by the Scottish Photographic Federation
will be held in Ayr from 20th April to
4th May, 1935. The Art Galleries of
the Carnegie Library and Museum have
been secured for the exhibition. No
prizes are offered, but a highly success¬
ful Art Union (with the sanction of
His Majesty’s Board of Trade) is pro¬
moted, and under its agency many of
the pictures exhibited are sold. Customs
regulations, however, prohibit the sale
of pictures from overseas. The various
sections are as follows : (a) Prints,
confined to Scottish workers at home
and abroad ; (b) Prints, open to all
other workers ; (c) Lantern Slides,
open to all workers ; (d) Prints or Slides,
of scientific or record interest, open
to all workers ; (e) Stereoscopic Trans¬
parencies, open to all workers. The
Judges will be Mr. D. Dunlop, Mr. J.
McKissack and Mr. W. W. Weir. The
entry forms have now been issued. A
postcard to the Salon Secretary, Mr.
Arthur J. Nelson, 6, Hilary Crescent,
Ayr, will bring an entry form by return.
“ Life and Art in Photograph.”
Messrs. Chatto & Windus {97 and 99,
St. Martin’s Lane, W.C.2) have just
issued three numbers of a new series of
books with this general title. Each
contains 100 reproductions from photo¬
graphs, so ably selected that the subject
dealt with is presented with extra¬
ordinary beauty and completeness. No.
I is “ The Italian Renaissance,” with
beautiful picture^ of typical examples of
the architecture, sculpture and painting
of this amazing period. No. 2 is
“ The Polar Regions,” an anthology of
Arctic and Antarctic photographs of
absorbing interest. No. 3 is ‘‘A Book
of Dogs,” in which are portrayed fine
specimens of all well-known breeds,
interspersed with pictures- of hunting,
beagling, greyhound-racing, and so on.
Each volume is published at five shillings.
If other volumes of equal excellence are
to follow they will form a series of
picture books of rare beauty and interest,
and should find an honoured place in
every well-ordered home. Incidentally,
they provide a forcible object-lesson on
the unrivalled merits of photography
as a medium of beautiful and accurate
pictorial representation.
We regret to have to record the death
of Mr. J. A. Heir, who for many years
has been chief photographer of Kodak,
Ltd. He joined the Company in 1898
and was at first Sales Manager, and then
head of the department for all photo¬
graphic materials for specimen and
advertising needs. He was also a
painter-artist of considerable merit and
his work has been shown in many exhi¬
bitions. He was a very popular per¬
sonality to thousands in the photographic
world and will be sincerely missed.
Electric exposure meters have come
to stay, and many photographers, both
amateur and professional, rely on these
ingenious instruments for every exposure
made. While certain variations are
observable when comparisons are made,
there is no doubt that in practical use
they afford a very reliable guide. One
of the best of the recent examples of
these meters is the '' Photoshop,”
supplied by Sands
Hunter & Co., of
37, Bedford Street,
Strand, W.C.2.
The appearance
of this little instru¬
ment is indicated
in the illustration
herewith, and it
will be noted that
it is an extremely
simple piece of
apparatus free from projections or com¬
plications. It is entirely automatic in
action, and by pointing it directly at
the subject to be photographed the
exposure required is indicated by a
moving pointer directly on an engraved
scale. The only adjustment is to set
the scale before use to the speed of plate
or film and the stop. The ” Photo¬
shop ” can be used indoors in dull light
or out of doors in brilliant sunshine, and
for cine and artificial light exposures.
The price is 5s. complete in leather
case with full instructions.
The Hackney Photographic Society
will hold its 46th Annual Exhibition at
the Central Hall, Hackney, from March

Ready for Snow ? R. H. ALDER.
December sunshine, thrown
back by snow and ice, furnishes
ideal lighting for sports scenes.
The reflected light gives even illumina¬
tion, while the low-hung sun provides
natural cross-lighting.
Exposure needs careful considera¬
tion, particularly as to the range
between long and close shots. “ Ex¬
pose for the high-lights and let the
shadows take care of themselves ” is
an excellent motto for reversal film
workers, but it is necessary to determine
which high-lights form the criterion.
In long shots we are concerned
with the play of light and shade on
the snow itself. A small aperture
will be justified, for there are no
expanses of shadow to be clogged
up. The reading of a photo-electric
meter will need no correction.
The Important Details.
In medium and close shots the
high-lights we want to record are
those in the features. These are
several tones darker than the snow.
Therefore it is not uncommon to
find that the stop must be opened up
to twice the diameter (half the f/
number) required for longer shots —
even more in the case of close-ups.
By this the snow detail will be lost,
but the figures will be correctly
rendered.
In such cases both the photo-electric
and the extinction meter are carried
really close to the main subject, so
that the large area of white back¬
ground is excluded. A meter of
any type, however, can be used in the
usual position so long as the detail
in the actual subject is observed, not
that in the surrounding scene.
Colour against Snow.
For the same reason it is essential
to use panchromatic stock and a pale
filter to cut down the excess of blue
light. In summer we have to deal
with paler flesh tints against green
backgrounds ; in winter flushed cheeks
are set in lucent white. Ruddy com¬
plexions come out unnaturally dark
unless there is colour correction as
well as adequate exposure.
Much of the sparkle of winter scenes
may be lost if the lens-hood is omitted
from the regular equipment. The best
type is rectangular, a full inch or more
in length, and only just wide enough to
avoid cutting the edges of the frame.
Without it stray light will cause
general fogging which flattens out the
delicate detail.
Another cause of flatness is conden¬
sation on the lens. Once the camera
has been taken out of doors it is not
brought into a warm atmosphere
until the day's work is done.
The camera-man carries round
warmth and moisture himself. Even
the felt-lined camera-case is suspect.
A clean, dry waterproof square is
the best protection for a small camera
once it has come out of the house.
Improvisation.
The scenario is generally a mere
outline ; so much depends on circum¬
stances, and the chances are so brief
that detail must be left to the last
moment. For this reason it is as
well to plan out beforehand all the
possibilities so that the urgency of
shooting will not result in unbalanced
shots.
Action is predominant always in
winter — everyone moves, if only to
keep warm. The camera-man must
guard, therefore, against a plethora
of “ busy ” shorts without relief.
The editor will want to build a
rhythm of alternate movement and
pause, so plenty of close-ups of skate¬
fixing, braziers and similar “ semi¬
stills ” may be included.
For tobogganing and skating a
distant viewpoint and a telephoto
lens are much to be preferred, because
they minimise the angular movement
of a swing shot. A short-focus shot
of a toboggan , with the camera sweeping
through nearly 180 degrees, gives a
At work in a film studio. 2' his print will give the amateur some idea of the environment
and masses of arc lights required in shooting a modern sequence. It was taken at the
B.I.P. Studio, and is an incident in the making of” Radio Parade of '\which is
being filmed in natural colours by the Dufaycolor process.

terrific impression of speed, but on
the screen the sledge appears to take
a sharp bend without any banking
to help it.
Swing Shots.
One such unnatural shot will pass,
but for the rest, if a short-focus lens
only is available, it is better to rely
on fixed angles at the top and bottom
of the hill. If there is a tricky bit
of banking in the course of the run
it is worth while to spend a few feet
there in the hope of a spill.
Figure-skating is pre-eminently a
subject for slow motion, if the light
is good enough. One or two such
shots, cut into the middle of some
swift work on the outside edge, will
always provoke enthusiasm in the
audience.
Finally, don’t forget the possibilities
of the thaw. A dripping icicle or a
crumbling snow-man (if you are
lucky enough to get him at the
psychological moment) forms an
effective fade-out.
Leads and Connections with the Household
Mains
By
“ ACTINOGRAPHIST.”
Modern lighting equipment is so
very efficient in itself that the
majority of failures experienced
can be traced down to faulty connec¬
tions and other external factors.
One of the most puzzling of these
failures is due to a “ dead ” point in
the household mains system. Points
may go dead for a variety of reasons that
do not concern us here — although it is
unfortunate that the fact is not often
discovered until the lights or projectors
have been connected up in readiness
for working.
In most cases, it is a waste of time to
attempt any remedies on the spot.
The utmost that can be done is to test
the point by directly plugging-in a
lamp or another piece of apparatus, at
the same time checking over the switch
controls. Should the point prove to be
in good order, connections to the original
apparatus must be checked over ; but
should current still prove unobtainable
no time should be lost in plugging into
another mains point.
Losses.
In changing over from one point
to another, it may be necessary to use
leads longer than those ordinarily em¬
ployed. This may result in sorne loss
of brilliancy or power — since very
long leads always cause an appreciable
drop in the voltage.
One remedy for this is to readjust the
resistance, though it must be remembered
that (as the apparatus is probably being
overrun already) a lower voltage may
be preferable to an excessive one.
Fluctuations.
Mains current may also tend to
fluctuate apart from any of these con¬
siderations. During “ business hours ”
in London, for example, it has been
found impossible to approach within 10
volts of the normal rating ; and after
business hours an excess of 20 volts has
been noted. Obviously, then, to adju.st
the resistance for the deficiency would
lead to disastrous results if a further
adjustment were not made to counter
the increased pressure of 30 volts.
Many circuits can be overrun — some
by 100 per cent or more — but this factor
must be regarded as a safety valve
and should never be assumed. For this
reason it is best to detach the plugs of
electric fires, irons and other devices on
the same circuit before drawing off the
fairly heavy current required for cine
apparatus.
Avoiding Breakdowns.
All connecting fittings should be
properly attached to their respective
leads, since loose contacts are dangerous
and are not always easy to find. In
use, the leads themselves should be
placed out of harm’s way beneath
carpets, etc,, or clipped against the wall.
These things always appear rather
simple when considered in a detached
kind of way, but in actual practice
they are often prone to assume trouble¬
some dimensions. Perhaps the safest
way to avoid breakdowns is to detail
one person in particular charge of
connections, leads, switches, etc. The
fact that no other duties are assigned
to him will show that there is all the
difference in the world between such an
arrangement and the confusion that
occasionally arises when no real plans
are made in preparing for a home cine
show.

Exhibition. — In keeping with the great
increase of miniature cameras amongst
photographers to-day, the British Photo¬
graphic Fellowship is holding an ex¬
hibition of work from these small-sized
instruments in February next, in London.
All miniature workers, both British and
foreign, are invited to submit their
efforts for this open show, which is to
be held at Foyle’s Gallery in Charing
Cross Road, from the ist to 21st of
February, 1935. The largest sized nega¬
tive that is' eligible for this show is
24 X2| in., and all enlarging must be the
work of the author. The last date for
entries is January 21st, and forms may
be had from the Exhibition Secretary,
B.P.F., 7, Aberdeen Mansions, Kenton
Street, London, W.C.i, upon receipt of

‘Deaders' Questions
ANSWERED
General. — All commTiiiications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
atul Cinematographer ^ Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts bn photographic subbcts.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible hand^v^iting on one side of the paper onlv. I.eiters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected inanustTipts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
ii without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — .\dvice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. {2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped adciressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
tor criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specihc and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked *' Query ” or Criticism,”
as the case may be. (y) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct imderstanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal proinptl> with enquiries, hut cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Sluggish Shutter.
The blind of my focal-plane shutter does not run
right down on the slow speeds. Could you advise
me ? R. V. E. (Reading.)
It is pretty evident from your de¬
scription that the shutter wants over¬
hauling, as such shutters always do at
intervals. Any of the good repairers
advertising in our columns would do the
work, and if necessary quote a price
beforehand.
Free-Lance Work.
I wish to take up photography in connection with
free-lance journalism, and am told that a half-
late camera is best for the purpose. Is this so ?
have little knowledge of photography, so would
you tell me what books to buy, or would it be
better to advertisje for lessons ?
' M. P. (Sunderland.)
There is not the slightest need to use
a half-plate camera for the purpose you
name, and it would be very expensive
to run. As you have little knowledge of
photography you will stand a poor
chance of succeeding with free-lance
work, the competition in which is
already very keen. We think your
best plan would be to obtain through a
dealer a copy of “ Free-Lance Journal¬
ism with a Camera,” by Rufus Mallinson,
which is published at 3s. 6d. You would
then get an idea as to what is required
for such work.
Transfer Paper.
How can one prepare transfer paper for the
Carbro process ? W. H. L. (London.)
If you care to experiment in preparing
the final support papers you might
proceed as follows : Soak i oz. of
Nelson’s gelatine in 20 oz. of water for
an hour or so, and then dissolve by
gentle heat. When solution is complete
add gradually 12 grains of chrome alum
diss olved in i oz. of water. This is
the n applied to the paper, either by
flo ating or by means of a Blanchard
br ush.
Reproduction.
I have sold a photograph for reproduction as a
birthday card, but not the sole rights. Can I
offer the same photograph to other similar firms ?
E. C. C. (Norbury.)
As your receipt says that the payment
was for reproduction rights and not for
sole reproduction rights there appears
to be no reason why you should not offer
the same subject to other firms. At
the same time, there are few firms
that would accept a photograph for
reproduction if they were aware that it
was being used by other firms as well,
and it would be only fair to notify them
of the fact at any rate.
Negative Failures.
I have a number of negatives showing curious
markings as in the foliage of the enclosed speci¬
men. The film is Agfa Isochrom, the exposure
i/ijth at f/ii, obtained from a Practos meter.
All the films in question were taken on clear hot
days between September gth-ifith. Selochrome
film also shows the same marking. Films were
developed by time and temperature in either
Rytol or pyro-metol, about 14-20 days after
taking. Camera, Ensign J-plate reflex, Triotar
f/4.5 lens. Can you account for the puzzling
results ? L. H. B., (Neasden.)
The explanation of the trouble with
your negatives is a very simple one ; it
is due to considerable movement of the
camera during exposure.
Backing for Plates.
Can you tell me how to prepare a plate-backing
for home application ? W. W. (Bath.)
There are many such preparations, but
the choice of one depends to some ex¬
tent on the kind of plate to be backed.
You should refer to such a textbook
as the " Dictionary of Photography ” for
recipes and the method of preparing
them. You will find the backing of the
plates rather " messy,” and somewhat
risky unless you have proper facilities
for the purpose. On the whole, it is
better to depend on commercially backed
plates, as the extra cost is small.
Wynne Meter.
Among some odds and ends I bought is a Wynne
meter, but I am at a loss as to speed numbers,
etc. Can you give me an idea as to how to use
it? B. E. L. (Cardiff.)
You must get the little instruction
book which should accompany the meter,
and in which the speed rating is explained.
You will probably also require a fresh
supply of sensitive paper. Address :
The Infallible Exposure Meter Co.,
Wrexham.
Bichromate Stain.
How can I expedite the removal of bichromate
stain when intensifying negatives ?
S. E. (London.)
After a preliminary washing immerse
the negatives in a 5 per cent solution of
potassium metabisulphite, and then
wash again.
Blotting-Paper.
Is ordinary white blotting-paper suitable for
putting prints between to dry ?
L. L. F. (Norbury.)
You should on no account use ordinary
blotting-paper even for surface drying
the prints, and in any case it is not
advisable to leave prints between paper
at all. They should be freely exposed
to air, so that they dry quickly. Any
photographic dealer can obtain the
right sort of blotting-paper for you ; it
is stout, absorbent and fluffless.
Iodine for Bromides.
How is iodine used for clearing up foggy and
degraded bromide prints ? S. E. M. (London.)
Dissolve 30 grs. of potassium iodide
in 10 oz. of water, and add 3 grs. of
metallic iodine flakes. Soak the print
first, and then pour the iodine solution
over it, keeping the dish rocking gently.
Presently the high-lights will turn blue.
Rinse the print, fix in plain hypo, and
wash thoroughly. Care must be taken, or
the lightest tones, as well as the fog,
will disappear.
Anhydrous Salts.
Will you explain why the weights of anhydrous
salts used are different from the weights of cor¬
responding crystals ? F. J. (Boston.)
Part of the weight of crystals is what
is called water of crystallisation, the
quantity of which varies. This water
is absent in the anhydrous forms, which
are therefore “ stronger.”
Wall for Projection.
I wish to prepare a portion of a wall (plastered)
for projecting cine films. What kind of distemper
would you advise ? , S. I. B. (Exeter.)
We should not advise distemper at
all. We suggest that you first apply
a coat of strong size, followed later by
a coat of white lead priming. Finally
give two coats, at intervals, of flat
(not glossy) white paint. This can be
cleaned down from time to time with
warm water and a sponge, and will wear
better than distemper.
Blacking Iris.
The blades of an iris diaphragm have worn bright
in parts ; how can I black them ?
H. R. (Lancaster.)
We strongly advise you to have the
work done by a qualified repairer. It
is no task for the novice, as you will
soon find if you attempt it.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
Insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice Is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

HAND liili
CAMERAS
By R. Child Bayley
An outstanding feature of this
book, which makes a special
appeal to all amateur photo¬
graphers, is a number of separately
printed plates, all from hand camera
negatives by the author. These are
selected to show the very wide range
of subjects accessible to the snap-
shotter, from pure landscape to
tele-photographic portraiture.
Though primarily written for the
beginner, ” Hand Cameras ” con¬
tains much of interest to the ad¬
vanced worker, and should be in the
working library of all who would
attain to the highest degree of
artistic excellence in their work.

WEDNESDAY, December 5th, 1934.
The Christmas Number of The
Amateur Photographer , which
will be published next week,
will be more than a special issue
containing extra pages of pictures
and reading matter ; it will be a
Christmas Presents Number. Every
year the problem of the Christmas
present becomes more difficult to
solve. But every year there is ample
proof that the number of amateur
photographers and others who are
interested in photography has in¬
creased to an amazing extent. To
all these a present that is photo¬
graphic in character will appeal, and
one of the functions of “ The A.P.”
Christmas Number is to supply just
that information and guidance that
will render the path of the present-
giver an easy one. Photographic
gifts of all sorts, and to suit all
pockets, will be described and illus¬
trated in the course of many pages
in this issue. At the same time,
the other features that have made
“ The A.P.” Christmas Numbers so
popular and attractive in the past
will not be overlooked. The number
will be well worth getting, and readers
should make sure of getting it early.
It will be published on Wednesday
next, December 12th.
Modern Photography.
Slowly but surely the various
impediments that hampered the
camera worker of the past are
being overcome ; the modern Press
photographer is but one of those
who owe a debt of gratitude to the
clever work of the chemist and
experimenter in the service of the
photographic manufacturer. In the
search for speed and then still more
speed, other attributes for perfection
are being attained. In carrying
panchromatism to its extreme, infra¬
red photography has benefited, and
Fog.
A typical winter day in Town, with
great pictorial possibilities. To make the
most of such subjects if the fog effect is to
be retained, the fastest non-pan. plates or
films should be used without a filter.
\'oL. LXXVIII. No. 2404.
is now rapidly becoming the accepted
allv of the everyday provider of
news pictures. The recent Royal
Wedding is a case in point. The dull
and foggy atmospheric conditions
that obtained on the morning of
the pageant, and the adverse lighting
of the interior of the Abbey, would
have rendered the production of
adequate action pictures taken in a
fraction of a second an almost
hopeless proposition, if not impos¬
sible, a few years ago. Yet on this
occasion, with the help of the
magnificent plates, films and large-
aperture lenses now available, not
only were high-speed shots of perfect
quality obtained of all phases of
the . procession and the ceremony,
but they were presented to the public
within an hour or .so in the after¬
noon papers in the form of pages of
perfect reproductions. While much
credit is due to the skill, enter-
])rise and activity of the Press
j^hotographers responsible, and much
to the remarkable organisation of
the various departments of the
newspapers concerned, we feel that
the greatest praise should go to
those who have made the photo¬
graphy and the cine pictures of
such events possible at all. It is a
matter that is apt to be overlooked
by the general reader, who takes
the marvels of to-day for granted.
Pity the Projectionist.
Every audience turns its back to
the lanternist and generally dis¬
misses him from its thoughts. In
the same way, the film projectionist
behind his portholes is very little
regarded, hut he has his point of
view, as Mr. S. T. Perry, of the
Guild of British Cinema Projec¬
tionists and Technicians, told an
audience at the Cinematography
Exhibition in Russell Square last
503

6 CiriEMATOGRAPHER o
week. The change-over to the talk¬
ing film has not been without its
tribulations for the projectionist.
The projection equipment in the
average cinema usually consists of
two projectors equipped with sound
apparatus, together with, in many
instances, an ordinary lantern for
slides, and where an organ and
stage show are used, one or two
“ spot ” lights. Cleanliness is of
first importance, dust being the
mortal enemy, not only of the film
and projector, but of the sound
equipment also. Film mutilation,
which is the cause of stops during
projection, and of scratches in the
picture and defective sound trans¬
mission, is due, above all things,
to oil and dirt and dust being
allowed to get on to the film. Print
density is another ticklish subject.
What is badly required is a standard
printing density and also a standard
illumination. Some pictures are
over-illuminated, killing all the high¬
lights ; others do not get enough
light on the screen. In every case,
in order to provide the best possible
results on the screen when the film
is rimning, the projectionist has to
deal with the matter.
Hazardous Adventure.
The world, as we have often said,
does not know all its heroes, and
some of them carry, not a sword, nor
a pick-a-xe, but a camera. When
the editor of the Pathe Pictorial
was taUving the other evening about
the “ interest ” film we thought at
first it was a purple passage in which
he described how, in order to get
pictures for the- public, men would
cleave the skies and descend into
the bowels of the earth, would brave
the hot desert and the cold Arctic,
and would stand in the path of
motor-cyclists in a speed contest or
prowling beasts in a jungle. But
he went on to tell of one photo¬
grapher — who had never been down
a coal mine before — who went down
a Yorkshire mine the other day to
photograph a blasting operation.
The fuse was laid, and the miners at
the signal retreated, but the photo¬
grapher remained, like the boy on
the burning deck, standing by his
camera whUe it got a record of the
explosion at twenty feet. And be¬
cause a lump of coal hit his camera,
so that he feared it had upset his
picture, he waited for the next
blasting, and did it again. That’s
the stuff !
The A mateur Photographer” EXPOSURE 'TABLE — December
EVERY MONTH a brief exposure table will be provided for the assistance of our readers in their practical work. A glance at
the current approximate exposures as here given will serve as a reliable guide for most purposes. The subjects will be varied
to suit the time of year. The following exposures will serve as a working guide for any fine day during the month, between the
hours of 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, with the sun shining, but not necessarily on the subject. Stop used, f/8. The
exposure should be doubled if the sun is obscured, or if stop f/ii is used. For f/i6 give four times the exposure. For f/5.6
give half. From 8 to 10 a.m., or from 2 to 4 p.m. double these exposures. From 7 to 8 a.m. or from 4 to 5 p.m., treble them.

THt AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
ts 6 CiriEMATOQRAPHER o
Visiting Lantern-'
Lecturer
In the following seasonable
article the subject of the lan¬
tern lecture is dealt with from
another angle. While it will
appeal to every lecturer who visits a photographic society, it
is intended more for the guidance of the Hon. Secretary or others
responsible for the lecturer’s visit.
yi BOUT this time of year it is
/A usual for articles to appear,
giving advice to actual or
would-be authors of lantern lectures
on what to aim at or avoid.
It seems reasonable that a few
hints and suggestions should also
be given to secretaries of clubs and
others who organise such entertain¬
ments, as to what best makes for the
lecturer's enjoyment and comfort.
At hrst it may appear a little
ungracious to attempt to do so, since
the intention in all cases is so obvi¬
ously hospitable and kindly ; but
since, in spite of this, the results
experienced are so varied, those in
control must often err merely through
ignorance of the ideals to aim at.
The First Step.
A reminder of the hxture is, of
course, essential, and if the lecturer
is paying his first visit full directions
as to how to reach the lecture room
should be sent him ; in addition,
where the room is not easy to find,
things will be much simplified for
him if someone is told off to meet
him at the station. Prolonged grop¬
ing through badly-lit streets — pos¬
sibly on a wet night — is not a
pleasant prelude to the evening.
Something to Avoid.
Except in cases where it is ab¬
solutely unavoidable, an ordinary
general meeting of the club should
not be held before the lecture
begins. It is unsatisfactory for the
lecturer, who has perhaps made an
effort to arrive in time, to find that
he is expected to wait after the
advertised hour, not only until a
sufficient audience has drifted in,
but beyond that through the trans¬
action of uninteresting routine busi¬
ness. Meanwhile he becomes more
and more conscious that his prospect
of reaching home in any reasonable
time is becoming momentarily more
remote. Meetings should, of course.
start to time — some do ; but to urge
this as general practice is perhaps to
expect too much from human nature.
Securing Comfort.
The most important points of all
are those which minister to the
lecturer’s comfort during the actual
delivery of the lecture. It may
seem obvious that he should be so
placed that he has a secure foothold
and can reach the screen when
necessary. Yet it is often the case
that he can with difficulty move
without entangling himself in the
hex of his reading-lamp, or stepping
off the edge of the platform. In
one case we recall, the lecturer was
placed on a high platform and the
screen on another — the pointer
provided being too short to reach
across the gulf. After one attempt
at crossing this without disaster in
the dark, he was compelled to resign
himself to pointing vaguely at the
screen from a distance.
As far as loose hex is concerned,
a little thought only is generally
required for this to be led safely
to the reading-lamp on the side
away from the screen, although due
allowance must be made for the
cramped space available in many
lecture rooms.
Lamp and Signal.
While he may not wish to read his
lecture — and many will maintain
that no lecture should be read in its
entirety — the lecturer may reason¬
ably expect to make use of a few
notes, so that not only a lamp, but a
proper reading-desk will be required.
Should he be taU, and the lamp be
placed, as it often is, on an ordinary
table, he is in the unfortunate
position of having repeatedly to
stoop and peer at his notes ; a most
disastrous thing from- the point of
view of continuity. The ideal desk
should be adjustable for height.
Again, unless it is quite impossible.
some form of electric signal to the
lanternist should be provided. The
clicks and bangs otherwise required
are, at the least, distracting. But
while the lanternist should always
be alert for the signal, and prepared
to change slides promptly, to be too
early in doing so is often as bad
as being too late. In one case the
mere movement of the lecturer’s
hand towards an electric push pro¬
duced a change of slide, and since
he happened to be relying upon the
appearance of each slide at the
critical moment in his sentence, the
intended effects were largely spoilt,
in addition to half his attention
being diverted towards defeating
his over-zealous assistant.
Generally speaking, he should be
left free to think of nothing but
his slides and of what he intends to
say about them. The distraction of
his attention in any other direction
is bound to spoil the lecture, more
particularly if his experience is not
very great.
Subsequent Proceedings.
After the lecture itself is oyer
there are various ways of closing
the proceedings, of which probably
the best is for the chairman to invite
questions, and when these have
been answered, to propose a vote
of thanks himself. It is not always
easy for a lecturer who does not see
his audience to be sure of the effect
he is producing ; but a series of
questions wiU leave him assured that
he has interested them.
Similarly, a habit prevalent in
some clubs of applauding any slides
which are considered particularly
good, will prove a great encourage¬
ment during the course of the
lecture. In the case of one of a
popular type the response to points
upon which he counts to raise a
laugh will give the lecturer some
indication ; but with one of the

more serious kind it is only by the
silence and absence of coughing and
feet-shuffling that 4ie will get an
idea if he is completely holding his
audience’s attention.
The practice frequently followed
of calling upon a particular member
to propose a formal vote of thanks
is seldom really successful. If he
is not used to speaking, his thanks
may not carry conviction, while —
far worse — if he is, he may quite
likely deliver a miniature lecture
himself, which is bound to prove an
anti-climax for the rest of the
audience, unless it be an improve¬
ment on the lecture, when it is even
more undesirable ! In either case.
few speakers like to be lectured on
their own subject.
Finally, the hon. secretary or
treasurer should always discreetly
inquire what the lecturer’s out-of-
pocket expenses may have been,
and if any question of fee has
arisen (and every visiting lecturer
should be asked as a matter of
course if he requires a fee) this should
be handed to him at a convenient
moment before he leaves, or a cheque
sent within a day or two.
While it is no doubt a fact that,
unless they enjoy showing and
talking about their slides, lecturers
would not p.ut themselves to the
often considerable inconvenience.
and travel long distances, to do so,
yet — as anyone who has been lectur¬
ing for some years will probably
agree — there are visits to certain
clubs and societies which are marked
with red in his memory. Places
where everything seemed to go
smoothly and with the minimum of
effort ; where his slides were per¬
fectly handled — and showed no finger
marks ; where they were really
adequately illuminated ; and where
he felt that his trouble in coming
had been appreciated, and not merely
accepted as part of the routine of the
ordinary weekly meeting. It may
well be the aim of every secretary
to make his society one of these.
Smoking in Portraiture
By D. G. WRAITH.
A good attempt, but would be better for a
darker background , and if the man looked
at his pipe instead of the camera.
times for exposing will vary, some
being taken long after the last puff
and just before the next one ; some
actually during the puff of smoke as it
passes the sitter’s face, some during
conversation with pipe held in hands,
and so on. An old man looks splendid
with a pipe, even if it is an inverted
clay, and to ask him to remove his pipe
to have his portrait taken is a ridiculous
proceeding.
The background should be chosen to
show up the smoke, and the photo¬
grapher may neglect the light of the
match altogether. The negative should
be developed a little on the thin side,
and panchromatic films or plates give
an enhanced result. Great care should
be taken when photographing a subject
who is lighting up, that the hands do not
come too far in front of the face, and
become blurred and out of focus.
IT is a curious thing that few
amateur photographers take
their friends in the act of
smoking. At no time is a man, if
not a woman, more natural than
when smoking. Not only are the
necessaries, the pipe or cigarettes,
matches, and tobacco pouch or
cigarette-case, interesting things to
have along with a portrait of a
friend, but the actual expression dur¬
ing smoking is prone to yield results
at once charming and characteristic,
and out of the ordinary.
There are many types of smoking
pictures. There is the kind where the
man or woman is about to light up,
and is posing in characteristic attitude.
Then there is the picture, which is
virtually a snapshot, showing one's
friend in the act of waving the match
out, after lighting up and drawing
that first delightful draw. 1 have
known a friend of mine to have a
far more delightful portrait taken in
this way than was ever taken at
a portrait studio.
The difficulties are not many. It
is essential in most cases that the
sitter be actually smoking, and. the

Landscal?e or fortraitf EVENING EXAMINATION.
By D. S.
HAVINC; occasion recently to supply a number of illus¬
trations which had to be of portrait shape and a
certain type, I was compelled to conduct a careful
examination of my reference prints. Before filing, these are
always trimmed to what I consider the best projiortions, so
that the exact picture may be seen at a glance.
In searching for my special subjects 1 found a number were
of landscape dimensions, but, experimenting with the two
L-shaped pieces of caid so often recommendeil in the columns
of The Amateur Photographer, 1 was surprised to find how many
of these would become “ portraits ” by simply trimming from
each side. 1 completed my set, and, necessity having shown
that my previous decision as to the picture shape from any
given negative was too arbitrary, 1 settled down to a thorough
study of a number of prints.
I then found that I had a number of each shape which would
easily trim to the opposite. This was both interesting and
useful information which should be recorded, so, for quick
reference, 1 shall in future trim to one shape and ma.sk the
second by means of two ruled lines, thus saving time and
trouble of making another print.
This case is brought
to the attention of
readers because it was
not just a matter of
searching for a small
picture within a large
])rint, but a straight¬
forward trim from one
or both ends which
made a world of dif¬
ference to the presen¬
tation of the finished
enlargement. It is
such a simple yet
interesting experiment
that a pleasant and
profitable hour could
be spent in the depths
of an arm-chair ex¬
amining one’s prints.
Whatever the result,
it should be time well
spent, for — particu¬
larly with beginners —
trimming is an art
which receives too
little attention. .\nd
trimming can make
or mar a picture.
THE IKOFLEX MINIATURE “REFLEX”
* NY new camera from the firm of
Zeiss Ikon is always interesting,
and their latest introduction,
the “ Ikoflex,” has many outstanding
qualities that will at once appeal to
the miniature camera user, particu¬
larly those who prefer the twin-lens
type and the 24 X 24 size picture.
The ‘'Iko¬
flex ” has an
all - metal die
cast body,
1 e a t h e r cov-
ered, is ex¬
tremely strong
but very light,
and is a re-
markably
well - made
piece of appar¬
atus with many
points in its
favour for the practical worker. It is
of the twin-lens type, which shows
the picture in the top viewing screen,
brilliantly clear, and the right way
up. The hood, which springs into
position, is furnished with a magnifier,
so that perfect focussing can be
secured. Two anastigmats are used
with the “ Ikoflex ” of precisely the
same focal length and aperture. The
view-finder screen gives a particu¬
larly brilliant image due to the use of
a special condenser lens embodied
beneath the ground glass. This in¬
creases the illumination to the corners
of the picture.
All the scales on the “ Ikoflex,” such
as shutter speeds, diaphragm, depth
of focus scale, can be read from above —
that is, from the position for taking
the picture. Focussing is conducted
by a single lever movement for both
lenses, and an automatic depth of
focus scale is fitted which shows
the range of focus for any particular
spot. The everset shutter is the Zeiss
Ikon three-speed Ikoflex, giving i /25th,
I /50th and I /looth, as well as ‘‘Time ”
and ‘‘ Bulb.”
To load the camera, the interior is
released and comes away from the
bottom in one piece and the film is
then loaded in the usual way between
the spool clips. After the first num¬
ber on the film has appeared the
remainder of the exposures (twelve
can be obtained from an ordinary
2'J X 3 J film) are indicated on a cbunting
dial at the side of the camera.
The changing of the film is actuated
by a lever. Provision is made for
film spools on wooden cores and those
on the smaller metal cores. Focus¬
sing is done by a movement of the
focussing lever which is conveniently
placed for the left hand, while the
right hand can be used for holding the
camera, using the right thumb for
the shutter release.
The camera works extremely
smoothly both in film-changing, focus¬
sing and exposing. It is supplied with
Novar f/6.3 anastigmat at £6 los.
or with the Novar f/4.5 at £j los.
Further particulars and illustrated
booklet concerning the “Ikoflex” are
obtainable from Messrs. Zeiss Ikon,

Street, London, W.i. .

photographer as for the varied subject matter they
provide. It will be found that in many cases the part
is greater than the whole, and some “ bit ” of a vessel,
seen against a good sky, or a mass of mooring ropes in
the foreground, will be more effective material for picture¬
making than the entire ship.
There are also such things as coal barges, bollards and
cranes which make for pictures of novel character,
especially under unusual lighting conditions.

9 a.m. and 12 o’clock than at
other times, and at this time of year
the light is then at its best.
Dockland is constantly changing,
and the same quayside will provide a
constant variety of subjects. Ships
arrive and depart, and the tugs and
barges change their positions, the
composition differing each hour,
while the lighting and cloud effects
are similarly ever new.
In addition to the activities of
dockland, there are the quiet days,
when the reflections of vessels
moored can be caught in the quiet
waters of some basin. It is not
always the busy days that provide
the best pictures, although the
arrival or departure of vessels

Dockland offers the photographer many and
varied opportunities for picture-making at
all periods of the year, but especially during
the winter season. At this time of year at
many docks at various places round
British Isles there are more vessels in
the summer months, and there are
greater possibilities for pictures, in
spite of the limited number of hours
of daylight available.
It is during the winter months
that many ships are given their
annual overhaul, some while still
afloat, while others go into dry dock,
and there is activity on all sides
that will provide endless subjects
for exposures. There are also those
effects of mist and sunshine, often
in effective combination, which will
prove helpful to the picture-maker.
Those photographers who are
attracted by the so-called “ modern ”
movement in photography will find
plenty of subjects for experiment
along the quaysides. There is abun¬
dant scope for pictorial treatment
of the commonplace objects of
dockland when these are seen from
new angles.
Individual ships, as such, will not
be so attractive as records for the
the coasts of the
port than during

generally providing plenty of suggestion of action by
the steam and smoke that they emit, will attract
many photographers.
For most of these subjects almost any type of camera
can be used, but, after wide experience, I prefer a camera
of the ever-ready type, which is inconspicuous and
unobtrusive in action, used at eye-level. The camera 1
use is a “ miniature,” giving negatives of 4x3 cm. size.
Large lens apertures can be used, ensuring full
exposure in the case of those subjects which present
masses of shadow, yet which, on account of possible
movement, demand an exposure of i/25th of a second or
less. There is plenty of depth of focus permitted with
a camera of this type, even at f/3.5.
As many of the most attractive subjects are seen
” against the light,” an “all-round ” lens-hood is necessary
if bright negatives are to be secured. A sky shade is
insufficient, as in most cases the water in the foreground
reflects as much light as the sky.
The modern high-speed “ chrome ” or, better still,
panchromatic films of the double-coated type are excel¬
lent for these subjects. They retain the quality of the
water, which may be easily lost through halation. If
plates are used they must be backed.

Lastly, it is well to point out that dockland is usually
private property, and, if photographs are to be taken,
permission should be obtained beforehand from the
general manager or the docks superintendent. This will
at least save the photographer from obstructions by
lesser fry, and permission will be readily granted if the
photographer states to the proper authority the nature
and purpose of the work to be done.

AN ENLARGING HINT
Many workers who use both miniature and normal size
cameras have to use an enlarger designed principally
for comparatively large negatives, and experience
difficulty in producing the full-sized enlargements that a good
miniature negative will provide with the apparatus at their
command. The size of the ordinary dark-room is not always
such that a sufficiently long throw can be obtained, and even
if it were, correct focussing when the image is several feet from
the operator is no. simple matter.
There are two methods of overcoming this difficulty, short of
buying a special miniature enlarger. The first is to provide
a lens of short focus which can be interchanged with the
normal enlarger lens or alternatively to fit a portrait attach¬
ment or supplementary lens to the enlarger lens, thus shortening
its focal length. This method, however, has the disadvantage
that it may be found impossible, owing to the construction
of the enlarger, to centre the lamp at the correct distance
from the condenser to secure an even disc of illumination for
printing.
The second method need entail no expense, and is simple to
arrange. It consists merely of providing a mirror, of good
quality, and fixing it securely to reflect back the projected
image from the enlarger to the easel which has been placed to
receive the reflection.
The sketch illu-stration should make the arrangement clear,
and it will be noted that the enlarger and easel must be arranged
at angles to the normal of the mirror that are at least approxi-
matelv equal to each other.
The negative must, of course, be reversed in the carrier if
the print is to appear the right way, and care must be taken
that no extraneous light from the enlarger lamphouse is allowed
to reach the paper.
This method has the advantage that the operator can be
quite near to both the enlarger and the easel while focussing,
whatever the length of the throw.
THE “RETINA” MINIATURE CAMERA
IT appeared inevitable that the
Kodak Company would sooner or
later enter the field with a minia¬
ture camera taking thirty-six exposures
on 35-mm. film, and the " Retina
now makes its appearance.
The “ Retina ” is a remarkable little
production in many ways ; it
frankly caters for those who, in the
first place, wish to pay a moderate
price only for a camera of this type,
and at the same time do not wish to
learn a new technique in the handling
of the instrument itself.
The “ Retina ” is founded on the
methods of handling that have become
familiar throughout the world in the use
of the ordinary type of folding Kodak.
The back of the camera is opened and
the film spool inserted in the way
with which millions of photographers
are accustomed. The shutter is set
independently and the winding is
independent of the shutter. In this
way, the Kodak user has nothing new
to learn, and he has the advantages
offered by a soundly made instrument
of precision which will take a standard
spool for thirty-six pictures 24 X 36 mm.
on a perforated 35-mm. Kodak film.
This film is supplied in daylight-loading
cassettes in both the well-known Kodak
grades of “ Panatomic ” and Super-
Sensitive Panchromatic.
The “ Retina ” itself when closed
is a very pleasing little camera to
handle. It is small, comparatively
light, and is beautifully finished. It
has an all-metal body, leather covered,
and is of th^ baseboard type which
snaps open, bringing the lens, shutter
and camera front into position. When
closed these vital parts of the instru¬
ment are protected by the closed
baseboard.
The lens fitted to the “ Retina ” is
a Schneider Xenar f/3.5 anastigmat,
with good covering power and great
depth of focus, coupled with the
finest definition. The small nega¬
tives made with this lens at full
aperture when sharply focussed are
capable of considerable enlargement
without loss of image detail.
The lens is fitted in the well-known
Compur shutter with speeds up to
I /300th of a second which, coupled
with the large aperture of the lens, is
sufficient for the fastest moving objects
that the amateur is likely to attempt.
The shutter gives intermediate speeds
down to one second, and also “ T.”
and ” B.”
The focussing is admirably controlled
by the movement of a pointer ' on a
large outer ring holding the shutter.
and the shutter release is very con¬
veniently placed for both upright and
horizontal pictures. A sensible fea¬
ture is that the scales are repeated
on the barrel of the shutter, so that
they may be read whether the camera
is held vertically or horizontally. In
conjunction with the focussing arrange¬
ment is an independent depth of focus
scale which tells at a glance exactly
how much in front and behind the
object is in focus.
The view-finder is particularly
worthy of note as being an enclosed
direct-vision box-type, very small and
neat, giving a definite magnification
and a clear-cut image.
In use, the film is very simply loaded
into the camera similarly to an ordin¬
ary daylight-loading Kodak. It is
then wound forward for each exposure
and is checked when sufficient of the
film has been changed. The expo¬
sures are automatically indicated on a
counter.
After the entire film has been ex¬
posed, the winding mechanism is
reversed and the film is wound back
into the original cassette, which can
then be removed in daylight from the
camera for development. In this
respect it is simplicity itself.
It is a delightful little camera to
use, and not the least of its attractions
is its price, which is ten guineas only,
and at this figure is likely to have a
very extensive sale among amateurs
who are interested in modern minia¬
ture camera work.

A PHOTOGRAPHIC CALENDAR.
Sir, — I should like to draw your attention to the paragraph
appearing in " Topics of the Week ” of 21st November, regarding
" A Photographic Calendar ” published in Germany.
As this paragraph may lead the British (photographic)
public to believe Germany leads in such publications, might I
point out that, while such may apply to England, it does not
apply to Scotland.
Surely you have overlooked the magnificent picture calendar
which has been published for a number of years by the pro¬
prietors of The Scotsman, Edinburgh. This calendar contains
fifty-two pictorial photographs — each 8x11 in. — of the best
views, etc., in Scotland. The 1935 Calendar is on sale every¬
where in Scotland, and the publication may, as usual, be sold
out soon.
I have also seen other photographic calendars published in
Scotland, but not of the same quality.
I may say I have no connection with The Scotsman . — Yours,
etc., ■ “ SCOTLAND AYE LEADS.”
ANASTIGMAT LENS.
Sir, — In his comments upon anastigmat lens, Mr. K. M.
Bevins has unfortunately chosen the wrong explanation.
When we focus our lens it is usual to rack the lens nearer
to the plate as the object focussed gets farther away. There¬
fore to comment that the image of the farthest point of the
wall falls on to that part of the plate farthest from the lens
is rather misleading. It is only natural to suppose that this
point will be very much out of focus.
As a matter of fact the screen plane (i.e., the plane at which
the image is sharply focussed) is, in an ordinary lens, actually
a curve. This is corrected in a modern anastigmat by the
opposing curvatures of the components of the lens, and also
by judicious use of finest optical glass, having suitable refractive
indices.
Such problems and the methods used to solve them make
the modern anastigmat lens a marvel of human ingenuity. —
Yours, etc., H. S. BURDETT.
MINIATURE PLATES AND PACKS.
Sir, — Miniature workers do not all use roll film. Is the
small plate (4^x6 cm.) user at a disadvantage regarding
emulsion range on small plates and flat films ? In spite of the
marvellous progress in the different emulsions on plates, one
important coating is missing. I refer to the wonderful grain¬
less Panatomic or cine film pan. emulsion. Using 4^X6 cm.
flat films and plates or film packs, it seems to me the most
valuable emulsion is not available. Can we V.P. plate-
users have a flat film or pack with Panatomic emulsion ? Or
is there some difficulty about this ?
Enlarging from miniatures the utmost definition is essential.
Do we all realise the difference in results between working with
full aperture on the enlarger and stopping down to quite a
small stop ? I have not heard this stressed, and would like to
hear general opinion. — Yours, etc., W. H. CLARKSON.
D. & P.
Sir, — May I utilise your columns once again, in order to
ask Mr. H. Simons to re-read my letter of the 14th November.
My “ bone of contention ” is directed especially against the
small D. & P. man.
I ask that any person offering to develop and print films be
equipped so as to turn out same free from mechanical defects.
It may be of interest, if not new to Mr. .Simons, to learn that
even advanced amateurs are sometimes glad to avail themselves
of the service offered by D. & P. men. Then it becomes most
disappointing to find that such people cannot turn out work
of their own standard.
I regret that I have no information concerning “ invisible
clips ” or of determining when the image will appear.
If I should happen to come across either, I shall ask the
use of your columns again, in order to pass the tip on.
Through the medium of this paper I have obtained invaluable
assistance since starting photography. I should always be
delighted to pass on — through the same medium — anything of
use to my fellow-workers. — Yours, etc., W. H. LEWIS.
MINIATURE CAMERAS.
Sir, — Mr. Burr is indeed unfortunate in his choice of minia¬
ture cameras. I have been using a Rolleicord, taking negatives
2^ in. square, for some time, and find no difficulty in obtaining
perfect enlargements up to whole-plate and bigger ; in fact
the enlargements in the bigger, sizes are sharper and of better
quality than those I have previously obtained from glass
quarter-plate negatives, using a large swinging-mirror reflex.
Recently I exposed a spool on three or four budgerigars, from
inside their cage, and enlarged some of the resulting negatives
about five times linear (equivalent to prints nearly a foot
square). The enlargements were perfectly sharp, and could
not easily be distinguished from contact prints, the detail
shown in the eyes being remarkable. ,\11 the negatives were
taken at full aperture (f/4.5), with normal film and after-
treatment. As with all miniature cameras, it is essential to
keep the instrument rock-steady during exposure, and 1 find it
a distinct advantage to use a long cable release and, if possible,
a tripod. — Yours, etc., .A. T. WALKER, M.Sc.
DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — I have read Mr. Stirling’s letter and that of Mr. Bayley,
in your issue of 21st November, with much interest, as I have
had similar trouble through the backing-paper of certain
panchromatic films sticking to the film itself after development.
Eventually I wrote the makers of the film 1 was using, and they
confirmed my impression that it was due to the adhesive
nature of the back coating on the celluloid film.
I do not think that Mr. Bayley’s e.xplanation would over¬
come the trouble so far as these particular films are concerned,
as the backing-paper itself naturally gets soaked with developer
and so adheres most tenaciously to the film.
Two months ago I was introduced to the new Agfa roll-film
developing tank, which separates the backing-paper from the
film before insertion in the developer. So far I have developed
about eighteen spools in this tank — all without trouble, save
one which was my own fault through not pulling the backing-
paper out exactly as instructed. The Agfa tank is in every
way ideal for Agfa pan. films, which are on a fairly substantial
celluloid base ; but I have been told that these tanks, which
depend on grooves only to support the film, are not so suitable
for films the celluloid of which has a " flimsy ” body.
On page 443 of your issue of 14th November you review
the “ Optichrom Automat,” which apparently performs some¬
what similarly to the Agfa tank, but of the Optichrom I have
no experience. If Mr. Stirling is a user of Agfa films, he cannot
do better than use an Agfa tank, and his troubles will quite
disappear.
I write from quite a disinterested point of view so far as
Agfa are concerned. — Yours, etc., LESLIE WALLACE.
Sir, — After winding the film and apron into the holder of
a Kodak tank, and securing with rubber band, I immerse the
whole in a jug of water — raising and lowering the while — for
a full minute. After removal, the surplus water is let run
out, and development proceeds as usual. This method gives
ideal results.
Once a panchromatic film did stick to the backing paper.
I placed film and paper, excepting the two ends, in a large
acid fixing bath. The film fixed, the paper came off ; the
blue backing completely disappeared !
Some Continental films have no adhesive tag at the lower
end. I therefore pin the latter to the paper, preferably in

POINTS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT.

LESS ADVANCED I
WORKER I
Last week I considered a negative of a black-and-
white drawing, showing how this negative would
have to produce in the print white paper for the
high-lights, black silver for the darkest touches, and the
whole series of intermediate greys. I represented these
tones by numerals from o to 10. Now I suggest them by
diagrams. Both methods are merely symbolical, and
do not, of course, represent the complicated disposition
of the tones by which the final picture is reproduced. .
In the diagram. Fig. I represents the under-developed
negative. There is considerable unaltered emulsion, and
only a short range of densities, the deepest of which does
not go through the emulsion as it should. Fig. II repre¬
sents the complete range, from clear gelatine to a deposit
that goes right through the emulsion, representing a
density that will completely withstand the printing light,
and give white paper in the print.
Fig. Ill represents what happens if development is carried
too far. There is full density not only for the highest
lights, but for the lighter tones as well. These delicate
tones will therefore be lost in the print, and there will be
white paper where there should be a varied range of light
greys. Such a print is “ chalky ” and unsatisfactory.
Now for a few words about the time and temperature
method to which I referred last week. The facts I am
going to use to illustrate the points are quoted from the
latest edition of the Burroughs Wellcome Diary. The
seven development times given in each case are for tem¬
peratures of 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit,
respectively, and in each case the time quoted is in minutes.
Tabloid Rytol, normal : 8^, 7, 6, 5, 4^, 3 J, 3.
Tabloid Rytol, one-third normal strength : 34, 28, 24,
20, 17, 14, ii^.
These figures at once show two things : first, that tem¬
perature has a marked effect on development time ; and,
secondly, that mere dilution of a developer also makes a
great difference.
Tabloid Tancol, normal ; 17, 14, 12, 10, 9, 7.
Now we can see that much depends on the character
and composition of the developer, apart from mere dilution.
This is shown further by the figures for the other developers
following.
Tabloid M.Q., normal : 5I, 4^, 3f, 3, 2^, 2, if.
Tabloid Pyro-Metol : 3, 2^, 2, i^, if, i, f.
Tabloid Hydroquinone ; ii, 8f, 7, 5f, qf, 3f, 3.
Tabloid Metol : ir f, gf, 7f, 6f, 5f, qf , 3f.
There is surely sufficient variation in times here, as the
result of different kinds of developing solutions, and of
the temperature at which the operation is carried out. But
this is not all. These times apply only to certain plates
and films, which are named. All other plates and films
are divided into four different classes, necessitating the
following modifications of the development times ;
(a) Increase the time by one-half.
(b) Double the time.
(c) Decrease the time by one-third.
(d) Halve the time.
So that we see that another important point to be taken
into account is the character of the emulsion.
Still this is not all. The times given above are for
the production of thin, dehcate negatives, suitable for
contact printing on normal gaslight paper, or for enlarging
by weak artificial light. If negatives are required for
bromide or chloro-bromide printing, or for enlarging by
daylight or strong artificial light, the development times
should be increased by one-half to give greater contrast.
So that another factor to be considered is the purpose for
which the negative is required.
And we have not finished yet. The original times given
are for the production of negatives of normal contrast,
with a certain range of tones from high-lights to shadows.
If the subject is dull and flat, and it is desirable to strengthen
and brighten the result, the development time may be
increased by one-quarter. If, on the other hand, the
subject has strong contrasts of light and shade, and these
are not to be over-emphasised, the time should be decreased
by one-quarter.
We must also remember that the result in any and every
case is affected by the exposure given ; and, finally, that
the development times given are worked out to produce
the kind of negatives which Messrs. Burroughs Wellcome
consider suitable for their various purposes. It follows
that they may not suit the methods and ideas of others,
and this will involve a further modification of the time —
increasing it to secure greater strength and contrast ; or
decreasing it for greater softness and delicacy.
All this is surely sufficient to demonstrate the absurdity
of the question I quoted last week : “ How long should a
negative be left in the developer ? ” This is not an imagin¬
ary question, either. A more sensible question is : “ What
are the development times for a pyro-soda developer ? ”
This can certainly be answered, but only at considerable
length. The answer depends on various other questions ;
What is the composition of the developer, and, particularly,
how much bromide does it contain ? What plate or film
do you propose to use ? What is the character of the
various subjects ? For what purpose do you require the
negatives ?
When all the factors are duly considered, the best
average results are obtained even when plates are developed
in one batch in a tank, or a spool of film as ‘a. whole. But
it is evident that in many cases it is an advantage to
give differential treatment, and this is only possible when
negatives can be handled singly. W. L. F. W.

The Novice in the Enlarging Room
The novice who succeeds in getting
bright contact prints from his
negatives sometimes gets flat
and disappointing results when he
tackles enlargements.
Prints are frequently over-exposed,
and subsequently under-developed, ow¬
ing to the use of a too-high-powered
lamp. Sixty watts is sufficient to give
good results with a rapid bromide
paper. A very short exposure gives
no time for local shading, and pro¬
duces harsh tones.
When making test strips, choose
carefully an important portion of
the negative, containing the extremes
of light and shade, and expose two
strips in succession over the same
portion of the negative, giving one
strip rather more and the other rather
less than the estimated exposure.
These two strips should then be
developed together for the same time,
and examined in full light after fixing.
It then becomes apparent, not only
what is the correct exposure, but
also whether shading will be necessary
to obtain detail in the high-lights.
When developing, give a full minute
longer than the time recommended
by the makers of the paper in use.
If the negative is on the dense side,
focussing with a horizontal enlarger
can be very trying to the eyes. It
is a good plan to keep a stock negative,
very thin and dead sharp, to focus
on. The dense negative can be substi¬
tuted when focussing is complete.
Another cause of eyestrain is having
to watch the clock and the paper more
or less simultaneously. A metronome,
set to beat sixty times to the minute,
is easy to count, and removes a very
real source of fatigue.
When enlarging from an under¬
exposed negative a much brighter
print can be obtained by using a
smaller stop and increasing the ex¬
posure. Use double-strength developer
to which a few drops of potassium
bromide have been added.
To avoid ugly stains on the backs
of your prints, wash both sides care¬
fully between developing and fixing.
This is especially necessary when
using double-weight paper.
Having found a brand of printing
paper you like, stick to it.
You can then develop all your
negatives to suit the paper, the
necessary time of development for
the negative being found by experi¬
ment. This is a great time and labour
saver, besides obviating the necessity of
stocking innumerable grades of paper.
If you glaze your prints and wish
to avoid a pitted appearance, don’t
let dust or french chalk fly about the
room wherein they are.
The only sure cure for stained fingers
is never to dip them in the developer.
If you find this a counsel of per¬
fection, apply nail \-arnish before
beginning. Afterwards, apply more
varnish, and immediately wash in
warm water. All the varnish will
be removed and the stain with it.
Finally, get everything you can,
except pinholes, into your negatives.
After-work is interesting, but length3^

DonT Overlook the Trade Papers
Day after day I hear of free-lance
photographers who complain
that they cannot And markets
for their wares. Almost at the same
moment editors sigh heavily and
regret that they cannot get the photo¬
graphs they require.
This seemingly contradictory state¬
ment is explained by the fact that
the free-lance photographer always
sends his pictures to the popular Press
and always ignores the trade papers.
Editors of trade papers are always
wanting photographs of three types
— portraits of men in the news, pic¬
tures of interesting and attractive
window displays, and pictures of
newly-opened shops.
If you can produce pictures falling
into these three categories you should
get in touch with the local corres¬
pondents of the papers to which you
wish to contribute. It is more satis¬
factory to work in co-operation with

the local correspondent, who will
usually welcome the suggestion.
As I am forced to take my own
photographs I know that the photo¬
graphs required are easy to take. I
am a journalist, not a photographer,
yet using a cheap camera I can get
photographs which reproduce well.
For the man who knows his job,
there is good money to be made in
free-lance trade paper photography.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
ICTURES of exhibition standard
are, at any rate in my own
case, previously visualised,
though unexpected opportunities do
occur which provide material for
pictorial studies. The vogue for soft
focus, with foreground much out of
focus, appears to me unnatural ; and
if such views were seen by the eye
as they appear in the finished print,
most of us would immediately hasten
to the optician.
'■ The high state of perfection reached
to-day by camera manufacturers,
together with the various devices for
timing exposures and developing neg¬
atives to a time-table, would appear
to create a tendency to become
mechanical ; but the experienced
operator finds it unnecessary to resort
to (shall 1 say ?) automatic devices.
Bella.
While a first-rate outfit is very
helpful in obtaining excellent results,
it is only the experienced hand that
can make full use of the possibilities
it affords ; and though I have a large
range of cameras of all descriptions,
many of my successes have been
gained with apparatus that could not
be described as expensive. As an
example of this I may mention my
recent success in the Champion Class
of The Amateur Photographer Slide
Competition. The study of a tiger,
Bella,’ was made with an old quarter-
plate ‘ Klito ’ camera, aperture f/ii,
on an Imperial Press plate, speed
850 H. & D., with the aid of a Sashalite
bulb held nine feet from the subject.
” There is no doubt that we all have
our favourite subjects, and I find
natural history subjects are particu¬

larly fascinating. Others to whom
they also appeal will find the manage¬
ment and staff of such institutions
as the Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester,
and the North of England Zoological
Society, Chester, ever ready to afford
every facility. Studies of animal life
are to be found at all the leading
exhibitions, but the enthusiast is
always out to do something better,
and a really good picture will not
fail to attract some attention from
the judges.
" Hunting scenes in a lane, from
a picturesque point of view, have
always had an appeal for me, but if
you are favoured with sunshine there
is the difficulty of heavy shadows to
overcome. 1 have also photographed
gulls in flight, which, by reason of
the constant change in formations,
present ever-changing pictures. Fox
cubs at play and salmon leaping have
also given much that is interesting,
but they cannot be recommended as
subjects for exhibition, as it is not
difficulties that appeal to the judges so
much as balance, tone and lighting.
Snow scenes always make very
attractive prints, as the brightness
makes up for the lack of colour, which
seems so essential when one visualises
the country bathed in those wonderful
autumn tints which cannot be repro¬
duced in a print.
While I only commenced entering
for exhibitions four years ago, I have
been an enthusiast for a considerable
time. I must confess to a preference
for plates. Iso-Zenith or Imperial
S.S., according to the subject in hand,
are my usual selection ; and dish
development, usually with pyro-soda.
The judicious use of the air-brush,
with a little retouching and spotting,
help to make the finished print
approach the heights of perfection ; and
the experience gained in oil and water¬
colour work is of great assistance in
adding these finishing touches.”

No. I of the prints on the opposite
page — “ The Worker,” by J.
Miller — is quite an excellent
piece of characterisation, but it is
rather a pity that the work upon
which the figure is engaged does not
permit his face, or the major portion
•of it, to be seen.
Subjects at Work.
The fact that he is at work, of
•course, does provide a .sort of justifica¬
tion for the omission, but, nevertheless,
there is a suggestion of something
missing that would have been avoided
had it been found possible for the
features to have been shown.
They so naturally are looked for as
the focal point of interest that their
lack is felt, and the representation
loses point. On the other hand, it
is recognised that any attempt to
make the figure alter his pose would
probably be fatal. Camera conscious¬
ness and a consecjuent loss of spon¬
taneity would intervene, and, in
nine cases out of ten, the attempt at
remedying the defect would be worse
than the disease.
The idea is to get the features
without loss of spontaneity, and,
having regard t(j the position im-
po.sed by the nature of the work, it
will become pretty clear that it is
practically impossible from a view¬
point so directly frontal. The only
thing to do, therefore, is to adopt such
a standpoint as will give either a
profile or a three-quarter view, and if,
at the same time, the camera were
lowered, the chances are that the
rendering would be appreciably im¬
proved.
On the whole, and as far as can be
judged from the present arrange¬
ment, it would be better for a direction
to the left of that now assumed to be
employed, for not only would the
figure seem to fall into a happier pose,
but the baskets, as accessories, would
appear in a receding and much
improved form.
Looking Upwards.
In dealing with figures, it is often
useful to adopt a viewpoint that is
lower than normal. In most cases it
seems to add to the height, with,
perhaps, a gain in impressiveness,
and, in the case under review, other
advantages accrue as well. In No. 4,
” The Cottage Staircase,” by John
Giddings, it adds height and dignity
to the little figure, and a consequent
gain in impressiveness is conferred.
Here, again, it would have been
better if it had been arranged for
part of the profile to be shown, but
to do so would have involved the
co-operation of the sitter.
The probability, although there is
iK^thing to say so, is that the figure
was posed, and, in that event, it would
have been wiser for the child’s attention
to be directed to something outside in
the (jpposite direction to that in
which she is now looking.
Nevertheless, as the print now
staiifls, it strikes one as very well
managed, though a little more vigour
in the presentment would not be out
of place. No. 3, ” i\Iy Lady Leisure,”
by Edward Jenkins, affords a further
example of the choice of a viewpoint
that is looking upwards. The added
(pialities of height and dignity are
again in evidence, and the print
itself displays a vigour that is par¬
ticularly welcome after the somewhat
exaggerated softness of No. 4. Pos¬
sibly, printing might be carried a
stage or so farther without losing
the shadow gradation, and the conse¬
quent improvement in the rendering
of the lighter tones would make the
trouble well worth while.
Exaggerated Viewpoints.
The same expedient might be ap¬
plied, again, to No. 2, ‘‘A Worm’s
Eye View,” by W. A. Player Shute,
where the lighter portions are almost
devoid of tone. The upward view¬
point, here, has been carried to
excess, and, having regard to the
comparatively short focus of the
lens, has resulted in an apparent
distortion in the perspective that is
decidedly not flattering to the sitter.
In the other cases that have been
mentioned, there has been a reason and
a justification for the adoption of a
lower than the usual viewpoint. The
end has justified the means, but, in
this instance, the effect is so exagger¬
ated that its object, if anything but
an expression of eccentricity, has been
defeated. It cannot be said to have
any especial purpose, nor, except as
a freak, has it any claim upon the
attention.
In comparison. No. 5, ‘‘ Sea
Breezes,” by B. S. B. Tucker, strikes
a more pleasing note, and, here, the
justification for the low viewpoint
level is to be found in the fact that
it has enabled the head of the figure
to be shown against the setting of
the sky.
Figure and Setting.
Had the head come against the
sand dunes, it would scarcely have
been so well displayed. As it is,
and also having regard to its excellent
placing, it claims its due measure of
attention as the centre of interest.
In point of fact, the way in which the
head stands out invites the expression
of an opinion that, in all probability,
a finer picture would have resulted if
the figure had been posed on the top
of the hillock in the rear, so that the
whole of her figure came against the
sky instead of the head alone.
However, the suggestion affords a
line for experiment in the future,
and will doubtless prove fruitful.
Meanwhile, it might be as well to
try and get a little more quality in
the print, which, at present, seems
inclined to flatness.
When heads alone, as distinct
from figures, are dealt with, the lower
viewpoint is seldom advisable, unless,
for example, it is desired to emphasise
the chin and lower portion of the
face. It is better, as a general rule,
to arrange for the camera to be on the
same level as the sitter’s eyes, and
this appears to have been appreciated
when Nos. 6 and 7 — ” Portrait of
a Child,” by J. W. Walters, and
An Old Jew,” by S. J. Vella — were
taken.
Outdoor Portraits.
Both are good examples of por¬
traiture out of doors, and in both the
lighting and arrangement have been
capably handled. The heads, perhaps,
are on a rather large scale, and, in
consequence, there is just a slight
suggestion of exaggeration in those
features which are nearest the camera.
Much of this could be avoided if the
figure were not permitted to come
nearer than twelve feet, and, in
future efforts, this limit should be
kept well in mind. ” Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work,
THUNDERSTORM,” hy B. Moiser.
The effect of storm — and the
promise of sunshine to come —
are powerfully conveyed in this
picture, yet it is notable that the
success it achieves in the transmission
of these effects has been attained by a
conventional arrangement of the com¬
position, and no recourse has been
made to those tricks of placing and
viewpoint that are so prevalent in the
modern school.
Tradition and
Arrangement.
Everything which
goes to make up the
arrangement has been
handled in accordance
with the traditional
rules of composition.
In the first place, and
in view of the fact
that the main interest
lies in the sky, the
latter has been allotted
the major proportion
of the picture space.
It occupies about
five-sixths of the total
area, and the remain¬
ing sixth is devoted to
the landscape. For a
subject of this class,
the relative amounts
are calculated in
accordance with the
traditions imposed by
centuries of landscape
f rinting, and the reason
is self-evident in view
of the comparative attractions of the
two sections. For similar reasons, the
landscape is not allowed to sink into
insignificance, but attains just a
sufficient interest to maintain its due
function in the picture and to provide
a set-off and adequate balance for the
immensity of sky above.
Its tones are varied as much as may
be, but, on the whole, are on the dark
side. That is necessary on account of
the great weight of tone at the top of
the picture, for, otherwise, a sufficient
degree of stability would not be
ensured. As it is, the tone at the
base is barely enough, and, without
questioning the truth of the present¬
ment, it is doubtful if a somewhat less
assertive degree of tone in the upper
portion would not provide a better
aesthetic impression.
Over- Assertion.
The rendering may be strictly
accurate, but, artistically, a lesser
depth of tone would be more pleasing
and would not display the present
suggestion of over-assertion.
At the same time, it must be ad¬
mitted that the feeling of luminosity —
on which the pictorial appeal depends
— is appreciably heightened by the
contrast of tone between the darks at
top and bottom and the light behind
the tree. The feeling of light provides
the motive, and any alteration that
would tend to diminish its effect could
not lightly be adopted. Still, the
touch of exaggeration exists, and, in
order that it may be avoided, some
little adjustment might be made.
This, however, should be restricted
severely to the top of the print and not
permitted to encroach upon the tree
(i), which, as the most prominent
dark in the scheme, has much to do
with the successful transmission of the
effect. Moreover, by its placing, depth
of tone, and proximity, it provides the
principal item of interest, and supplies
the foundation of the composition.
It forms the keynote, and, as will be
seen, occurs close to one of an inter¬
section of divisions of thirds, i.e., it is
sufficiently off the centre to avoid any
suggestion of undue formality and far
enough from the edge to obviate any
feeling of weakness. Its strength is
emphasised, on the right, by the two
trees (2), and, on the left, by the small
group (3). These form
balancing accents, and
not only set each other
off, but, by an implied
comparison, enhance
the scale in which the
tree (1) is shown.
The shadows of the
clouds in the atmo¬
sphere, which happen
to fall in radial for¬
mation, lower the tone
of the sky towards the
margins. Their func¬
tion is twofold. They
both help to retain the
interest within the
picture and prevent
the line of the horizon
from becoming too
assertive — a thing
which might easily
have happened had
the line been as
strongly marked
throughout as it is just
behind the tree.
A Dramatic Effect,
In that position, the contrast is
justified because it stresses the sugges¬
tion of light, but, if the line were
continued in the same degree of con¬
trast it would seem much too hard and
persistent, whereas, under the present
arrangement, that suggestion is en¬
tirely avoided.
The effect is highly dramatic, and the
implication of the title is exceedingly
well sustained. It is a fine piece of
work, and except for the over-assertion
above referred to, exceptionally well
managed. It is just possible, however,
that a slightly greater degree of con¬
centration might be secured by the
expedient of using a narrow black
margin, suitably softened and shaded
off, all round the edges. “ Mentor.”

NEWS, NOTES AND MATTERS OF IN¬
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINfi APPARATUS.
Cinematography
The Amateur at the Cinema
WHEN the cin6 amateur goes to
the cinema — and even the
loftiest browed amateurs do
so at times — he should set himself a
series of cinema exercises. It was
George Herbert who, in another sphere
of thought — -that of religion — said that
if the sermon was poor God took the
text and preached patience. And follow¬
ing the same line of thought I believe
that the poorest professional film can
teach the cin6 amateur something if
the amateur will condescend to study
it intelligently. But he must study it.
The cin6 amateur keen on his job
watches a professional film with the
same intentness with which a musician
listens to a musical composition, disen¬
tangling, in his mind, the theme, and
the recurring motif and devices. And
one of the first results of such study is a
realisation that to achieve emphasis you
must have contrast, and that contrast
is mainly secured by the use of environ¬
ment and of speed
Take, for example, a plot as old as the
hills. A rough, simple child of nature,
a born leader of men, hears of the
murder of his friend, sits quietly bowed
in grief until there comes the inevitable
reaction — the cry for blood-revenge,
and he arises strong in his wrath and
sense of outraged justice to summon a
desperado army as an instrument of
rough justice. You get that situation — ■
as you will know if you read your Bible —
when Gideon hears of the death of his
two brothers at the hands of the Midian-
ites, and raises three hundred of his
retainers in the sacred cause of blood-
revenge. You get the same theme in
the Wallace Beery picture, “ Viva
Villa.”
" Viva Villa ” is an average film, of
the type easy to dismiss as Hollywood
melodrama, somewhat reminiscent of
the full-blooded Western cowboy days.
Yet analyse it, and you will find it full
of subtle touches. It is safe to say as
much of the average professional film.
How would a competent novelist deal
with the theme which I have just out¬
lined ? He would aim at contrast
between the man’s quiet despair and his
mood of angry determination ; between
the little daily happenings that had
previously made up the man’s life, and
the wild exaltation of hatred that proves
strong enough to sweep an army into
battle.' He would get the right tempo
by means of long paragraphs, deliber¬
ately rhythmic, changing to short
By M. A. LOVELL-BURGESS.
sentences and staccato utterances. Even
so, the film director has corresponding
devices.
In ” Viva Villa ” we are shown the
exiled leader of a peasant army asleep
on a tumbled bed. When the news of
his friend’s death is brought to him he
sits with his head buried in his hands,
and across his bowed head, seen through
the window, an electric sign on the other
side of the street flashing in and out,
in and out, emphasises the quality of
everyday orderliness in the environ¬
ment, The same effect could have been
obtained by a shot of a couple of people
gossiping at an open door, or a man cry¬
ing his wares in the street below. For
the rightness of such devices, look back
on your own moments of deep emotion
and remember how you became suddenly
aware of trivial sounds : the rustling
of a paper, the closing of a door, the
sound of a car changing gear, of a clock
ticking away indifferently. Yes, a clock
ticking could be used to emphasise
grief, especially if its bright pendulum
could be linked up with earlier and
happier associations. Do not be afraid
to introduce significant touches into
your own films. Remember that little
touches show a large imagination.
In the film I have selected for analysis
the scene suddenly changes. The exiled
outlaw leader is keyed up for action, and
skilful cutting speeds up the tempo of
the film. Villa is on his horse. He has
summoned his lieutenants. They speed
from village to village, summoning
Pancho Villa’s men. " Villa needs you.”
The title is imposed, in very small type,
over the picture, over the quick glimpses
of Mexican faces, with dark, alert eyes.
” Villa needs you.” The words are larger
now, white on a dark, moving back¬
ground of galloping horses, of guns being
taken in haste, by toil-worn hands, from
under mattresses, from kitchen walls,
from old barns. “ Villa needs you.”
As big now as the last test of the optician.
And the peons are coming from every
road and field and village at the call of
their leader, and the speed of the film
A good topical action subject for the amateur cinematographer can be secured on a turkey
farm. There are many to be found in different parts of the country.

and the sound of their song is one with
the rhythm of the cutting.
We cannot expect to find players like
Wallace Beery in the average amateur
cine society, and perhaps we should not
quite know what to do with them if we
did, but we can introduce well-thought-
out incidents that to a certain extent
compensate for indifferent acting. In
" Viva Villa,” a boy wants to join Villa’s
army, and on being told that he is too
young, he runs and buys a bugle,, and
after that it is his proud privilege to
ride by Villa’s side and sound the
” Advance.” One morning he is shot
down. Villa dismounts and holds the
dying boy in his arms. And the boy,
gathering together his ebbing strength
for one last effort, raises the bugle and
sounds a last, tremulous “Advance.”
Well, of course, if you think that’s
" sob stuff ” you’re like a detective who
thinks policemen and handcuffs ridic¬
ulous. You ought not to be in the
business. When Pancho Villa, shot by an
assassin, lies dying in the arms of his
friend, Johnny, a hard-boiled newspaper
man, he asks, with childlike curiosity,
what the papers will say of him when
he is gone. And the newspaper man,
to beguile away the time while the
doctor is being called, humours the
dying man, bringing into play all his
descriptive powers, telling how Villa’s
last words were, “ Forgive me, Mexico,”
how the peons came crowding quietly
round him, a tattered multitude, until,
looking up, the newspaper man sees that
his bedtime story has become a running
commentary on the actual scene, except
that the dying Villa forgets to say,
" Forgive me, Mexico,” and falters,
" Forgive me, Johnny.”
Look over the plot of your next film,
over that go - ahead, straightforward
scenario, think out for yourself a few
simple, human touches, and put them in.
Remember, in filming, that shadows
can sometimes be more terrible than
reality. Try presenting your introductory
titles against an animated background
appropriate to your film, imposing
them on shots of aeroplanes, moving"
clouds, armies on the march, a Bank
Holiday crowd, a sports meeting, a
merry-go-round, cartoons, wireless masts,
tumbling seas, and so suggest wide
horizons.
You are dealing with a medium that
knows no margins.
NEGATIVE CARE MEANS POSITIVE SUCCESS
The length of a negative’s useful
life depends largely upon our
treatment of it.
This summer I was asked by some
amateurs to look through their stock
of films and choose some for enlarge¬
ment. I did so, and of several hun¬
dreds found only a few fit to use
owing to stains, scratches and pinholes.
These were due variously to insufficient
fixation or washing, dust, drying or
finger-marks.
These are errors easily avoided if
a little more care is taken all along
the line. The stains, for instance,
show that the film was either not
fixed properly or else not washed
sufficiently. Fixing must be thorough
and so must washing, else in a very
short while our haste — not to call it
By A. CHAUNCEY.
negligence — will find us out (I know,
because I was found out long ago !).
It is true that after a change or two
of water, films look clean, but they
are not necessarily so, and. it is always
best to err on the side of safety.
Negatives have thin skins and do
not like much to be handled. When
inspecting a wet film it is always best
to hold it by the edge, or better still,
if possible, by a clip fixed to the edge.
Clips may be of the wooden clothes-
peg varie"ty, or else of metal. Either of
them are obtainable at any "general”
shop for two a penny.
Drop-marks on a film look more
doleful than tears and are less easily
remedied. They will be avoided,
however, if the film immediately
before being hung up to dry is carefully
wiped on both sides with a soft piece
of damp chamois leather that has been
well washed and is free from grit.
Neither when wet nor when dry
must dust be allowed to come in
contact with the surface of a negative,
else scratching or pinholes will result.
It is an excellent practice to keep films
singly in transparent envelopes. They
will then be handled without fear of
leaving finger-marks, and will be
preserved free of dust.
In the dark-room care should be
taken that negatives are not handled
with wet fingers, or laid down upon
a wet table.
These points may all seem very
elementary, but they are nevertheless
important if we wish our negatives to
live usefully to a healthy old age.
MEWS AND REVIEWS
JL 1 ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTE.
Ninety-six examples of modern
British commercial photography, mostly
by the younger men and women, will be
included in the Regent Exhibition of
1934, "which will be held at Borland Hall,
Lower Regent Street, from December
12th to 22nd. They are entries in a
competition for the best photographic
presentation of the theme “ Happiness ”
— one that is much favoured by adver¬
tisers. Among other attractions Stereo¬
scopic Processes, Ltd. are showing
illuminated transparent plates, hand
coloured, by which they produce
three-dimensional effects.
Pathescope Ltd., of 5, Lisle Street,
Leicester Square, London, W.C.2, an¬
nounce the introduction of a new pro¬
jection outfit. This is the " Imp ”
Model, a machine for the projection by
hand of all 30-ft. and 60-ft. reels, and
supplied complete with resistance for all
voltages up to 250. Price ^4 12s. fid.
The " Imp,” which has a perforated lamp-
house, is convertible to a motor-driven
model for showing 300 ft. of film, and,
if bought complete, it costs £'j. On the
other hand, the Motor and Super Attach¬
ment can be bought as separate units
at £1 15s. and 17s. fid. respectively.
Further details will be given later, but
in the meantime all interested readers
should apply to the above address for
particulars.
A correspondent has drawn our
attention to an error" in a recent issue
in which a picture was referred to as the
" Brig o’ Balgowrie.” This should be
Balgownie. As well as being a very
famous bridge, it is still a first-class
bridge for traffic, although built in i34fi.
It is situated in old Aberdeen.
The Birmingham Photographic Society
are celebrating their Jubilee, the Society
having been founded in the same year
as The Amateur Photographer. They
are proposing to organise a special
exhibition of work with a historical
basis and are preparing a volume con¬
cerning the Society’s history in detail
from its commencement.
The Finchley Amateur Cine Society
inform us that the address of their
studio is Dollis Mews, Dollis Park,
Church End, Finchley, N.3. The Hon.
Secretary is Mr. E. E. Thompson, of
2fifi, Hale Lane, Edgware, who will
supply all information to cine workers
in the neighbourhood who are interested.
The L.M.S. (London) Photographic
Society are holding an exhibition at
Euston Station in March next. A class is
open to employees of all railway com¬
panies in Great Britain. Entry forms
and prints are due on February 13th,

^Deaders' Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All communications for the Editor should be addressed ; “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
uryi Cinematographer^ Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.r,” and in every case, without exception, must
give the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in ver>' legible handwTiting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
lommunications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied bv a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid bv arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taUen as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not complv with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and ever^' print for criticism mus't be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
for criticism must be enclosed with competition prints, (p) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Querv ” or ” Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per-
naission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
M.O- for Gaslight.
Will you give me an M.Q. developer suitable for
developing gaslight prints ? S. C. (London.)
With any paper you buy you will find
instructions for its use, and these will
almost certainly include such a formula.
A typical all-round solution for the
purpose is :
Metol
8
grs.
Hydroquinone
• • 30
grs.
Sodium sulphite . .
f
oz.
Sodium carbonate
•• 1
oz.
Pot. bromide (10 p.c.)
20
min
Water
10
oz.
Rytol.
I have seen several references to Rytol as a
developer. Can you give me suitable formulre
for developing negatives and prints respectively ?
W. B. T. (Dubhn.)
Rytol is a complete developer in
itself, and is made in tabloid form by
Messrs. Burroughs Wellcome. Any
photographic dealer can supply it.
The tabloids are dissolved in pairs in
a quantity of water suitable for the
purpose in hand, and instructions on
this point are given on the carton.
Fuller information on the use of this
developer is contained in the Burroughs
Wellcome Diary.
Focal-plane Shutter.
I am told that a focal-plane shutter is more eflScient
close to the plate than if it is farther away. Why
should this be so ? One would think that the
same amount of light would pass through the
sh't however far from the plate it was.
T. W. (Bingley.)
We regret that we cannot enter into
a lengthy scientific explanation of the
efficiency of focal-plane shutters, but
you may take it that the fact stated is
correct. It may be sufficient if we
point out that if you had the focal-plane
shutter close behind the lens, using a
narrow slit, the full aperture of the
lens would at no time be operating.
Medium for Prints.
Some time ago you published a formula for a
mixture for rubbing into prints. Can you repeat
it ? What should I mix with the pigment for
darkening ? W. I. B. (Sydenham.)
You might first rub the following
mixture well into the print with cotton¬
wool, and afterwards remove as much
as possible with clean wool : Mastic
varnish one part, linseed oil one part,
turpentine two parts. You can then
apply the pigment, thinned down either
with the same medium or with any
other medium suitable for oil painting.
Flashlight Failure.
In the enclosed flashlight group why are aU the
faces featureless ? M. B. T. (Wallingford.)
It is pretty evident that the trouble
with your negatives is that the faces
were not only exposed to the full effect
of the light, but that the amount of
powder used caused over-exposure. If
you reduce the amount of powder and see
that the light does not fall so fully on
the faces you should get much better
results.
Book for Amateur.
Can you recommend an all-round book giving
practical hints on carrying out the various opera¬
tions undertaken by the amateur ?
E. L. J. (London.)
There are many books which would
give you the information you want,
and we have confidence in recommending
“ Photography Made Easy,” by R.
Child Bayley, price 2s. 3d. post free
from our publishers.
Finger-Print.
Is it possible to remove a finger-print from the
emulsion side of a negative ? A. G. J. (Finchley.)
If you mean that the finger-print is
due to pressure on the soft gelatine
there. is no possible means of removing it.
In some cases retouching may be a
remedy.
Lantern as Enlarger.
Can a standard size projection lantern with a
i2-in. lens be used for enlarging from 3^X2^
negatives ? F. C. (Huddersfield.)
Speaking broadly, it is not possible
to have any instrument that is equally
suitable for enlarging and for projection,
as the requirements in the two cases
are so different. As the condenser of
the lantern will probably cover your
negative there is no reason why you
should not put such negatives in the
carrier. With a 12-in. lens, however,
you will find the distances for enlarging
are too great to be convenient, and you
will probably find also that there is not
sufficient scope for adjustment of the
illurainant. It would help matters if
you substituted for the projection lens
a shorter focus lens which would satis¬
factorily cover the size of negative
being used.
Making Slides.
I want to make a collection of lantern slides from
my negatives. Should I make them on glass or
film ? What size should they be ?
W. J. H. E. (Ammon.)
You will have to make your lantern
slides on proper plates made for the
purpose, the size being 3J in. square.
You must get some guidance as to how
to set to work, and we suggest that you
obtain the N.P. Handbook, No. 6,
Lantern Slides,” by Dr. B. T. J.
Glover. This is published at is., plus
postage, and you can get a copy from
Messrs. Sands Hunter & Co., Ltd., 37,
Bedford Street, Strand, London, W.C.2.
Hardening Prints.
When glazing prints what should be the strength
of the alum solution for hardening the prints ?
How long should the prints remain in the solution ?
M. H. H. (Godaiming.)
We think you will do better to use
formalin rather than alum for hardening
your prints. Buy some ordinary com¬
mercial formalin solution, and use one
ounce of this to 9 oz. of water. At the
end of the final washing give the prints
about three or four minutes in this
solution, keeping them moving all the
time, and transfer straight to the glazing
slabs without further washing. The
solution can be used repeatedly.
Modifying Prints.
On the enclosed print you will see that details in the
background spoil it. Can you give me a method
for removing them ? T. A. T. (Derby.)
We should strongly advise you not to
attempt to deal with the prints, but to
have the modification made by skilful
retouching on the negative, a matter
which can be dealt with at a reasonable
price by a professional retoucher.
Contrasty P.O.P.
Can you recommend a P.O.P., self-toning or not,
which is appreciably more contrasty than Seltona
Vigorous ? T. H. M. (Sutton.)
It is not practicable to secure the

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,** and from the
complaints we have received it wouid appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
tor cash. Readers are advised to ignore ali such
offers from this quarter.

POCKET CINE
Is the neatest and most compact
pocket cine that has ever been pro¬
duced. No amateur cinematographer who
uses 9.5-mm. films can afford to be without a P.P.C.
It may be used as a projector, and is a most efficient
viewing apparatus for editing ‘ shots’ and for seeing animated
pictures without illumination. Slip a P.P.C. in your pocket
when you visit your friends and let them see your ‘ pictures.’
The P .P .C. is always at your command to view or screen your
films at a moment’s notice, without preparation and
independent of local conditions.

The Schneider f3.5 lens and “Compur” Shutter (l-l/300th

photography, for instance, is readily yours with a “Retina”

The “Retina” is so economical. It gives you 36 pan¬
chromatic negatives for 3/6 — hardly more than a penny
per picture. You can “shoot” freely with the “Retina” —
and so multiply your opportunities for getting fine pictures.
You can take the “Retina” with you everywhere — it
measures only 4£ by 3 by 1^ inches — and snap up the sudden
unlooked-for picture chances that wait round every corner.

TOPICS WEEK
AGAIN Christmas is near at
hand and again the familiar
formulae appropriate to the
season will be dispensed. Apart
from the normal activities of the
holiday we hope that our readers
will make this a photographic
Christmas. Never before has the
camera and all that it means to the
keen amateur been so much in
evidence at this time of year.
Photography in winter - time and
snapshots indoors are now within
the reach of all. In this, the
Christmas number of “ The A.P.,”
many suggestions are given for a
variety of seasonable subjects, and
‘‘ The Buyers’ Guide ” may prove
an inspiration if judiciously brought
to the notice of those best qualified
to act on the suggestions it contains.
Owing to pressure on our space
this week a number of regular
features are omitted, but these will
reappear in subsequent issues.
R. CHILD BAYLEY
WHEN in June of the present year R, Child Bayley
wrote a reminiscent article of great interest
for the Jubilee Number of The Amateur Photo¬
grapher, we did not know that it would be his last
contribution to this paper. True, he was then about
to retire from the firm of Iliffe & Sons I^td. after thirty-
five years’ service, but we felt sure that his remarkable
knowledge of photographic
matters, both technical and his¬
torical, would be available for
many years to come.
His death last week, at the
age of sixty-five, must therefore
.have come as a shock to many
who knew him as a robust and
active worker. Those who knew
him more intimately and were
aware of his serious illness during
the past few weeks will feel
the loss no less, as the passing
of a friend and of an outstand¬
ing personality.
In the photographic world he
will best be remembered as the
Editor of Photography, and, later,
of The Amateur Photographer
and Photography , when the two
papers amalgamated. In busi¬
ness R. C. B. was an autocrat,
but one who did not spare
himself. In private life he
was a genial host and an enter¬
taining guest, witty and well
informed, with an almost un¬
canny memory for events and
data. He was a great reader,
and had well-defined likes and
dislikes in the matters of art,
the drama, and music, and
was a fluent writer on photographic and other topics.
He had the gift of easy speech, both in public and private,
and could deal with both serious and flippant subjects
in a manner that commanded attention. He was a
good friend and a fair-minded enemy.
Born near London in 1868, he migrated early to the
North, and served his time with a firm of electrical
engineers (Messrs. Clarke, Chapman & Co., of Gates-
head-on-Tyne). Later he joined the Brush Electrical
Engineering Company.
We first hear of him in photographic circles as
Hon. Secretary of the Peterborough Photographic
Society in 1888. In May, 1892, he was appointed
Assistant Secretary to the Royal Photographic Society,
a post he held until December, 1898. (In those days
the R.P.S. had an Hon. Secretary, elected annually ;
the permanent official being known as the Assistant
Secretary.) During his period
of office he did much good work
for the Society, notably to set
the R.P.S. museum on a sound
footing, and in April, 1898, he
organised (for the Society) the
International Exhibition of Pho¬
tography at the Crystal Palace,
which was opened by the Prince
of Wales.
R. C. B. joined the firm of
Iliffe & Sons Ltd. in December,
1898, as Editor of Photography.
In 1908 Focus was acquired,
and later, in 1918, The Amateur
Photographer was also amalga¬
mated. He continued as Editor
of the joint papers. In the
same year (1918) he was ap¬
pointed Editor of the “ Agri¬
cultural Gazette,” and in 1924
was made a director of Iliffe
and Sons Ltd.
In July, 1925, on the acqui¬
sition by this firm of The
Farmer and Stockbreeder, he
was appointed Managing Direc¬
tor of Macdonald & Martin,
Ltd., but continued his interest
in photography as Consulting
Editor of ” The A.P.” In 1931
he also became Managing
Director of *' Electrical Review, Ltd.,” thus coming
back to the field of his earliest work.
During his very active life he has been interested in
many movements in photography, notably ‘‘ The
Free Camera Club,” which he founded in 1901 to
champion the British photographic trade v. Messrs.
Kodak, Ltd. He was the first to bring Autochrome
plates to this country from France in 1907.
He was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal
Photographic Society in 1924.

The “Present” Problem
The best Christmas present is a photographic one, whether for the photographer or the photographer-to-be.
In this article suggestions are offered which will assist those in doubt “ what to give.”
NOW is the time when the question of the selection of
most suitable gifts for relatives and friends becomes
a serious problem. The photographer is very
happily situated in this respect, for the range of possible
presents photographic in character is almost unlimited in
variety and price. There is, above all, the opportunity
to introduce the delights of photography to those who are
not possessors of cameras. This may be done quite inex¬
pensively. The gift of apparatus or material will widen
the scope and quicken the interest of those who are already
photographers. A suitable gift of this sort will not only
be appreciated, but will not lie forgotten in some drawer,
the fate of so many Christmas presents that have been
chosen unthinkingly.
A Wide Range,
For those who are already photographers the gift may
range from one of a few shillings in value to many pounds.
At no time in the history of photography has the available
selection been wider. If within the» capacity of our pocket,
we may choose a miniature camera, as supplementary to
existing apparatus, an enlarger, or a telephoto lens.
Amongst photographic accessories we may suggest a
tripod, an exposure meter, a set of hght filters, a good dark¬
room lamp, or one of the modern lighting outfits for home
photography. Most amateurs would be grateful for the
last, which would provide opportunities for picture¬
making at home during the festive season. If the photo¬
grapher’s equipment is known to be fairly complete, there
is still the suggestion that a supply of plates, films or papers,
or an outfit for colour photography, would prove acceptable.
Apart from still photography, a motion-picture outfit, of
which there are so many at all prices now on the market,
would come as a joyful surprise to the recipient.
Making Real Photographers,
There are many camera users who hand their films over
to the D. & P. establishment for finishing. The keen photo¬
grapher realises that these ” amateurs ” are losing half the
joy of their hobby. Through the gift of a developing tank,
or the necessary apparatus and material for development
in the dark-room, and for making prints, with the necessary
instructions, there is a good chance that the casual snap-
shotter will become a photographer in the true sense of the
537

bi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
ta 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER cs
word. Many would like to do their own work, but are
shy of making a start ; but if the apparatus and material
are placed in their hands the rest is assured, and they will
speedily join the ranks of the keen workers.
It is safe to say that almost every boy or girl longs for a
camera. Here is an opportunity to supply the want. At
most schools photography is encouraged by the powers
that be, who fully realise its value. Records collected of the
incidents and personalities of school life become increasingly
valued as the years pass.
It may be that the boy or girl is already possessed ef a
camera, but great delight will herald the advent of a better
one, or an instrument of wider capacity. It is a mistake
to imagine that “ anything will do.” If the needs in the
matter of apparatus are fully met, a supply of plates or
films and some printing paper will be appreciated, for no
boy or girl has enough for all the pictures that they want
to take, and the cost of these do make rather an inroad on
juvenile pocket-money. So let the gifts for the young
people have a photographic character.
Even if the recipient is not attracted to photography the
photographer still has in his hands a means of making a
gift with a distinctly personal touch. A carefully-finished
enlargement from a negative of a subject which is known
to interest the recipient, suitably mounted, and perhaps
neatly framed, is certain of appreciation.
Portraits, family groups, holiday incidents, all offer
possibilities in this respect, and at a low cost. If the
photographer cannot do the work himself it may be handed
to a dealer. These gifts have a value of their own, and
they cannot be given by any but the photographer
himself.
The keen photographer reads all the literature that he
can get dealing with his hobby. Therefore any gift which
takes the form of good photographic literature will be
acbeptable. There are a number of useful books published
from '■ The A.P.” offices. A complete list c.f publications
will be .sent on request.
Apart from these the photographer whose tastes lean
towards the pictorial will delight in the current copy of
Photograms of the Year, which is not only a record of the
best work, but provides many a keen worker with a stimu¬
lating effort towards better work. It may suggest other
fields of pictorial activity.
Lastly, if the photographer is not a regular reader of
'' The A.P ,” a year's subscription to the journal is an
ideal Christmas gift. It will be assured of a welcome,
and will serve as a link with the donor, every week.
THE BUYERS’ GUIDE
In the following “ Buyers’ Guide ” many varieties of photographic apparatus, accessories and sundries to suit all
pockets are described. Articles that are illustrated in the text are indicated by an asterisk. The addresses of the
firms named will be found in our advertisement pages. In nearly every case illustrated catalogues are available,
and will be sent post free to readers who mention “ The Amateur Photographer ” in their letter of application. It
is suggested that readers should hand a copy of this issue to potential donors of Christmas presents, and make a
cross against any item that is desired.
Actina, Ltd.
The '■ l.illiput ” Tripod, that when
closed is only 7 inches in length, as
long as the average man’s hand, and
weighs only 10
oz., would be a
most suitable gift
for any owner of
a camera, the cost
being 21s. The
” Dolly A,"* that
takes 16 pictures
on standard V.P.
roll film, has
Xenon f/2 anas-
tigmat in Com-
pur shutter, and
costs £i-^ 17s.
Other models, costing ^5 12s. 6d. and
^3 15s., are available, so that the choice
of these cameras for gift purposes is
very wide.
Amateur Cine Service.
The ” Amacine ” Transformer,* the
great current saver, would be highly
appreciated. For Pathescope Home
Movie the cost is 25s., for Pathescope
200-B and Paillard-Bolex models C.D.,
D.A. or P.A. 35s., for Paillard G.916
50s., and for 750-watt Bell & Howell
80s. Quotations for other models will
be sent on receipt of particulars.
Agfa Photo, Ltd.
The “ Speedex O ” Folding Roll

will be accepted by
any amateur with
the utmost plea¬
sure. With f/5.6
Igestar anastigmat
in delayed-action
Compur shutter, it
costs 5s., or,
with 1/3.9 Solinar
anastigmat with
similar shutter,
£?> 15s. For those
already owning one
of these beautiful
little instruments
a Portrait Attach¬
ed. would make a
Aldis Brothers.
The Aldis f/4.5 Anastigmat. at £,^ los.,
is a suggestion that would be acclaimed
by any photographer who has never
enjoyed the use of these excellent lenses.
Camera Craft, Ltd.
A suggestion for an acceptable gift
is a subscription to this firm’s 9.5-mm.
library of super feature films. For 15
reels the price is I ; 30 reels, ;^i 12s. 6d.,
and 50 reels, £'^.
M. Alton.
The ” Alton ” Auto-focus X'ertical
Enlarger* has Dallmeyer f/4.5 anastig¬
mat, and all models
can be used for re¬
duction to V.P. size.

extra. The “ Alton ”
for Leica enlarge¬
ments costs £i^ and
£^ 17s. 6d., according
to the size of the enlargement.
Burroughs Wellcome & Co.
The 1935 edition of the ever-popular
" Wellcome ” Exposure Calculator,
Handbook and Diary* would make a
most ac¬
ceptable
extra
gift to
any pho-
t o g r a-
pher. Be¬
sides the

factors,
there is a
section devoted to miniature camera
technique. There are also special articles,

The " Coronet Golden Caskets ” form
admirable gifts for the festive season.

Criterion, Ltd.
.A parcel of Criterion Plhtes or Papers
would be a particularly attractive gift.
The R.S.O. 450 H. & D. is a suitable
plate for amateurs, a faster one being
the 700 H. & D. grade. Mezzotone
Lantern Plates would be welcomed by
any slide-maker ; whilst Mezzotone
Paper for the pictorialist or Bygas for
the novice would be welcomed. The
Criterion Printing Outfit, consisting of
two dishes, 25 sheets of 3JX2-J- Bygas,
printing frame, developing and fixing
salts and full instructions, can be obtained
for 3s., and would be a most suitable
gift for any beginner.
J. H. Dallmeyer, Ltd.
So many very attractive articles
suitable as presents are being offered by
this old-established house that it is
only possible to mention a small propor¬
tion of them. The new " Popular ”
£}, 3s., would appeal to all cine users,
as would the “ Blendux " Photo-electric
Exposure Meter at £4 4s.
Dollond & Aitchison, Ltd.
A gift that would be unusual would
be one of the Dollond Spectacle-form
Theatre Glasses. These are worn just like
spectacles, and once focussed do not need
any attention. They obviate the ne¬
cessity
to keep
raising
the glass¬
es to the
eyes, and
cost only
5 s.
Pris¬
matic
B in oc u-
lars are,
of course,
by far the best, and are always accept¬
able. Messrs. Dollond are offering the
" Imperial’' 8x25, with central screw

" l.,umina ” at £^ los., and the wide-
angle, high illumination '' Standard "

Drem Products, Ltd.
The extinction exposure meters, for
which this firm is famous, would all
make very acceptable gifts. The new
" Justodrem ” Meter*
will achieve immediate
popularity, as its cost
is only 15s. The
Justophot,” which
has been a popular
favourite since 1924,
costs 35s. A cheaper
model is the " Dremo-
scop,” which, like the
“ Leicascop,” " Contax-
scop,” and " Cine-
meter,” costs 30S. A
present that would ap¬
peal to all amateurs who
make enlargements is
the “ Largodrem,”
which enables expo¬
sures to be calculated with remarkable
accuracy, the price being 30s. The
” Largodrem ” Speed Tester for bromide
papers costs 3s. fid., an inexpensive and
useful adjunct to a dark-room.
Ensign, Ltd.
The Ensign “ Silver Midget ”* will
probably be widely given in this year’s
Christmas presents, as it is most attrac¬
tively designed, not only in itself but in
its presentation case. The camera is
contained in a silver-grey leather pocket

In addition, the exterior packing is a
specially-made postal box with sealing

lens, costs 33s., and Model S/55, with
Ensar f/6.3 anastigmat, only 55s.
Fixol and Stickphast, Ltd.
A gift that should
hnd its way into every
photographer’s
Christmas parcel is
the . new “ Fixol ”
Mountant in the
patent rising base
container.* Every
amateur indulges in
mounting at odd
times, and nothing
surely could be more
welcome than this ex¬
cellent mountant in
its neat and well con¬
ceived brush-contain¬
ing case. The price
is IS. 6d. only, and it
would be an agreeable
adjunct to, say, a
mounting album or packet or two of
printing paper.
A. W. Gamage, Ltd.
Two lines eminently .suitable as
Christmas gifts are offered by this
famous house.
The ‘ ' L o n g -

ist or racegoer.
Edwin Gorse.
The new Cine Walking-stick Stand,
which extends to eye-level and is re¬
markably steady in use, would make a
doubly useful gift, as it would enable
the recipient to employ it as an adjunct
to help his walking when in search of
subjects, and as the camera stand when
the desired viewpoint has been found.
It is priced at 45s.
Garner & Jones, Ltd.
The " Multi-speed Roll Film Exakta
Camera,* a reflex with focal-plane shut¬
ter speeded from 12 to i/i,oooth sec. and
delayed action, is
a gift that would
make an immense
impression. The
price, with Iha-
gee f/3.5 anastig¬
mat, is £1^ ; 01
with f/2.8 Zeiss
Tessar, £26. A
very low priced but useful accessory
would be the " Stabilo ” Tripod at
I2S, 6d. The new “Labora” Roll Film
Developing Tank, at 25s., would also
be acceptable to any owner of a film
camera.
Gevaert, Ltd.
A gift of some packets of the new
“ Gevaluxe ” Paper, that was so much
in evidence in the autumn exhibitions
this year, would not only cause delight,
but would introduce the recipient to an
entirely new conception of printing
excellence. In 8J x 6-^ size it costs 4s. 6d.
for 6 sheets, or 8s. gd. per dozen, and in
12x10 gs. gd. and igs. respectively.
Some spools of roll film or of g.5 or
16 mm. cine film would also please “ still ”
and cine amateurs respectively, while
Gevaert Lantern Plates would be useful
to society members contemplating the
preparation of lecture sets.
Harbutt’s Plasticine, Ltd.
Harbutt’s “ Plasticine ” is so well
known that the name has become a
household word. Its uses are multi¬
farious, and every photographer should
have a supply available. Harbutt’s
" Plastone ” is not, however, nearly so
famous, yet it has the plastic nature of
“ Plasticine ” but becomes stone-hard
upon drying. With it, many delightful
articles may be made and kept for
permanent use or decoration. It can be
painted with oil-colours and makes such
attractive articles as book-ends or
statues. The price is jd. per I lb.,
and IS. gd. per lb. A special " Designer ”
Box, containing all necessary tools,
is obtainable at 6s. 3d., post free, and
would make a most acceptable gift.
R. F. Hunter, Ltd.
The new “ Rolleicord ” Camera, that
takes 12 pictures 2^x2^ on ordinary
3jX2j roll film, and has f/4.5 Zeiss
Triotar anastigmat in
Compur shutter, will
undoubtedly appear
in many Christmas
parcels this year, the
cost being £10 los.
Its elder and more
luxurious brother, the
Rolleiflex,”* is al¬
most too well known
to need description.
Its price, £20, with
f/4.5 Zeiss Tessar, or
with f/3.8, £22 los.,
will naturally restrict
it from being widely
given away, but to those who can afford
to give a present that will afford lifelong
delight, this famous camera can be
purchased with every confidence.
Ilford, Ltd.
A gift ever welcome to a photographic
friend is a supply of plates, films, or
printing paper of the size usually used.
Non-photographic friends can ascertain
the size required by taking one of the
friend’s photographs to a dealer and
asking for a roll of Se'lochrome or a
packet of Ilford Special Sensitive Pan¬
chromatic Plates. Two new introduc¬
tions are the .Selo Fine-Grain and
Hypersensitive Panchromatic Roll Films.
Another suggestion is a gift of Dark¬
room Safelights at 5s. 6d.
Illustra Enterprises.
The “ Illustrachrome ” Colour Wheel,
which enables projections to be made
with a great variety of colour, will,
until Christmas, be fitted free to every
projector sold by this firm, irrespective of
the cost. Projectors may be secured for
as little as 25s., but, nevertheless, the
“ Illustrachrome,” costing 6s., will be
included. At the price stated a model
to fit all projectors can be obtained and
would be welcomed by any owner of a
cine projector. " Illustrascreens,” which
have highly reflective silver surfaces and
are mounted on rollers and battens, cost
20s. for the 30x40 in. size, 25s. for
36x48, and 55s. for 48x60. Any size
can be made to order at 2S. per square
foot.
Johnson & Sons, Ltd.
One of the most acceptable gifts to a
new photographer is offered in Johnson’s
Home Photography Outfit,* which con¬
tains all
ap p ar a-
tus and
chemicals
for de¬
veloping
films or
plates
and mak-
ingprints.
Tne con¬
tents are

4-0Z, measure, printing-frame with glass,
thermometer, combined album and nega¬
tive wallet, a bottle of Azol for plates or
films, 3 packets of M.Q. developer for
gaslight paper or films, a packet of
amidol developer for bromide papers,
tin of acid fixing and full instructions.
The whole is packed in a cardboard
storage box and costs only 8s. 6d.
L. A. Leigh.
The new “ Ultrasorban ” Filters would
prove eminently suitable gifts to photo¬
graphers. The correction they afford is
remarkably effective, and as prices range
from 6s. 6d. for a lens mount 21-mm.
in diameter to i6s. 6d. for 51-mm. the
cost of the present would be small. The

direct-vision view-finder, and loads
and unloads in daylight. The size when
folded is only 4IX3 X i-^- in., and thus it
can easily and unobtrusively be carried
in handbag or pocket. The workmanship
and finish are excellent, and at the
popular price of £10 los. it will make an
immediate appeal.
E.Leitz (London).
The Model III Leica is, of course, the
present par excellence. The price is £'2.']
in black finish, or £^'ii 4s. in chromium.
This camera has a built-in range-finder
coupled to the focus¬
sing mount of the lens,
which at the price
quoted is f/2.5 Elmar
anastigmat. A valuable
adjunct is the small
Collapsible Copying
Stand, specially intend¬
ed for travelling. In¬
cluding case, this costs
£ir 13s. The Leica
Stereo-front " Stereo-
ly” Attachment,*
available for use with
all 5-cm. Leica lenses,
enables stereo pictures
to be made of still or moving objects,
and transposing when printing the
negatives is unnecessary. The price
is £b 13s. 6d., and the viewing apparatus

Modern Traders, Ltd.
The “ Matelux ” Lamp* that ’ has
become so popular would provide a
welcome addition to the equipment of
any photo-
g r a p h e r ,

prove most

making
photo-
graphs of
Christmas
parties at
night. The

prising alu-

stand, shock-resisting bakelite handle
with press button switch control, costs

consisting of three lamps in parallel,
costs £b 17s. 6d.
W. H. McKaig.
A most acceptable gift would be a
Watkins “ Bee ”
Exposure Meter,*
which would en¬
able beginners to
secure correct ex¬
posures of all their
films. The price
is 5s. For more
advanced workers,
there are the Colour
Plate, Indoor and
Studio Meters at the same price, and
the small Cine Meter at 7s. fid.
Miscellaneous Trading Co., Ltd.
The small Microscopes
offered by this firm would
make excellent and most
unusual gifts. The cheapest
model, which has inclinable
joint sliding tube focus with
a magnification x 25, costs
5s. Other models, X 50, cost
gs. fid. and 12s. fid. That
priced at gs. fid.* is very
useful, quite apart from its
other uses, for examining
negatives, residues of solu¬
tions, crystals, etc.
Norse Trading Co. (London), Ltd.
The “ Baldax ” -Cameras at £}, 15s.,
with f/4.5 Vidanar anastigmat in Vario
shutter, or at £1 7s. with f/3.5 Meyer
Trioplan in Compur shutter, would be
highly appreciated, as would the 3X4
cm. Piccochic at £}, 7s. fid. and £q 5s.
with the same optical equipments.
The “ Perplex ” Universal Developing
Tank,* for all sizes from 12-exposure
Leica film to 2JX44, ^-t 25s. would im¬
mediately appeal to all roll-film camera
users.
Radio -Aid, Ltd.
Have you any deaf friends ? If so,
the most acceptable gift would be the
entirely new and excellent portable
unit for the deaf — the “ Radio-Aid ”
Midget Amplifier. This enables those
so unfortunately afflicted to hear without
strain. It measures only gX4X3 in.
and is complete in every detail. There
is a choice of headphones, one with a
headband and the other with a spring
clip that fits comfortably and unob¬
trusively behind the ear, and the price
with either model is 20 guineas. What
a boon for some unfortunate deaf friend
if he or she were to receive this at
Christmas.
Peeling & Van Neck, Ltd.
The “ Foth-Derby ” Camera will be
widely sought for in the gift class.
This takes 16 pictures on V.P. roll film,
has a focal-plane shutter speeded to
I /500th sec., and costs
£\ I2S. fid. with f/3.5
anastigmat, or £'] 5s.
with f/2.5. The
“ Foth-Flex ”* is a
twin-lens focal-plane
reflex, and costs
£\o 7s. fid. with f/3.5
anastigmats. The
“ Welta ” Cameras
are too numerous to
detail, and a list
should be obtained.
Perhaps the most
novel of these is the
'' Welta-Perfekta,” a
6x6 cm. folding twin-
lens refiex with Compur shutter, the
price with f/3.5 Trioplan anastigmat
being ;^i3 los.
Photric Products.
Two inexpensive gifts are offered by
this firm. The “ Autosiphon, ’•’* which
instantly converts a lavatory basin
into an effective washer
for plates, films or papers.
It is used in place of
the ordinary waste plug,
and the larger sizes allow
enlargements to be
washed efficiently in a
bath or sink. The price is
IS. 8d., post free, under
i-^-in. plug, and 2S. for
I ^-in. and over. Another
line is the " Filmtainer,”
which is a neat moulded
case for two spare or
exposed 3iX2j film
spools. It is dust,
damp and light proof, and is supplied
in either polished “ oak ” or “ walnut ”
finish at is. 8d. post free.
Presenta, Ltd.
The “ Presenta ” Pocket Projector*
for g.5-mm. cine films, costing 25s., would
make an ideal present for cine workers
in that size. It can be used for visual
viewing, or can project by means of a
dry battery. It has a bakelite case,
and is obtainable in four colours, black,
walnut, jazz and mottled green.

popular gifts this Christmas. It is
available in two sizes : No. i for films
or 3^X2^, and No. 2 for i .J- x

affording just sufficient paste to adhere
to the brush without waste. Mountant
is always acceptable to any photographer,
and this packing may be obtained for
2s. in aluminium container,* or 2S. 6d.
in gold finish. “ Grip-fix ” is also sold
in aluminium containers at gd. and is.
■Any maker of lantern slides would
welcome some lantern plates, binding
strips and " Grip-fix,” as experience has
shown that gummed binding strips
invariably hold more tightly if they
are brushed with mountant.
Schering, Ltd.
The Voigtlander ” Brilliant ” Cameras*
are a most suitable line for seasonable
greeting pur¬
poses. These
cameras have full
size view-finders.
That with f/7.7
Voigtar anastig-
mat costs 45s.
The model illus¬
trated with f/6.3
anastigmat costs
5S., whilst yet
another instru¬
ment fitted with
f/4.5 Skopar an¬
astigmat in Com-
pur shutter is ob¬
tainable for £6 5s.
The Service Co., Ltd.
The '■ Service Gem ”* Camera, taking
16 pictures on 3^X2^ roll film, is a
good suggestion for
a present. It has
f/2.9 Steinheil Cas-
sar anastigmat in
delayed-action Com-
pur shutter, and
reinforced bakelite
body. It costs
{5 19s. 6d. A fine

era is the ” Service

packed in an automatic container. The
The Thornton- Pickard Manufactur¬
ing Co., Ltd.
A gift of the new patent ” Stevens’
Screen ”* would be highly appreciated
by any owner of a
reflex camera. This
invention takes the
place of the usual
top focussing screen
on a reflex camera,
and costs 21s. in
3jX3jsize. By using
this new screen
the illumination is
enormously increased,
thus facilitating focus¬
sing, especially in a
poor light. It can
be used on all T.-P.
horizontal reflexes
without alteration, and can be used on
nearly every 3|X2-J- reflex. It can also
be supplied to fit all old or new T.-P.
J-plate reflex cameras at 30s. Un¬
doubtedly a most welcome gift to all
such owners.
Thorsch & Co., Ltd.
The K.W. Reflex Box Camera* is
bound to be acceptable, as it enables
those who have
never experi¬
enced the de¬
lights of a
reflex to culti¬
vate the ex¬
perience at a
very low cost.
For £i 3s.,
Model 900, with
f/6.3 anastig¬
mat, fitted with
rotating stops,
can be secured,
whilst Model

heil A c t i n a r
f/4,5 anastigmat, with iris diaphragm
I 8

and other fittings, may be purchased
for £6 6s.
Taylor, Taylor & Hobson, Ltd.
Undoubtedly a welcome addition to
any photographer’s outfit would be one
of the famous Cooke Aviar Lenses, for
which the makers claim that throughout
the plates for which these lenses are
listed the definition is superlative. As
an example of prices, the Series II f/4.5
to cover 5X4 plate costs £S los. in
either standard or sunk mount.
The Westminster Photographic Ex¬
change, Ltd.
The ” Westminster ” Cine Tripod,
the legs of which are extensible to give
a height of 50 in., and have a reversible
foot, one end
having a spike
and the other
a rubber buffer,
would be wel¬
come to any
cine operator,
the price being

era,* taking 16

3JX2J film, is
self-erecting
and spring-opening, has bakelite body,
delayed-action Compur shutter and
Meyer Trioplan f/2.9 Anastigmat, at a
cost of £^ 15s. cheap present would
be the ” Westminster ” Adjustable Mask¬
ing Board, for use in enlarging. It has
adjustable masks for all sizes to 10x8,
and a strong wooden base, and is
available for 21s.
Zeiss Ikon, Ltd.
The new ” Ikoflex ” 2J x 2 J Twin-I.ens

appeal. It is corrected for parallax, and
with Ikoflex 3-speed shutter in addition
to T. and B.,
c#sts £6 I os.
with f/6.3
Novar anastig¬
mat, or £y 10s.
with f/4.5. The
” Super Ikon-
ta,” with its
large-scale
range-finder
coupled to the
focussing, at
£-17 with f,/4.5
Zeiss Tessar, will
appeal to those
able to give ex¬
pensive pre¬
sents, as will,
of course, the “ Contax,” with f/3.5
Zeiss Tessar at £24 los. Cheaper lines,
but just as excellently made, are the
Baby Box Tengor with f/ii Frontar lens
at 1 8s. 6d., or with Novar f/6.3 anastig¬
mat at £2 7s. 6d. Another popular line
much in favour as a Christmas gift
is the Superb Baby Ikonta Self-erecting

PLEASE MENTION "THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER” WHEN CORRESPONDING WITH ADVERTISERS.
WITH the intro¬
duction of the
new type of
electric bulb, which
works upon the princi¬
ple that it is "overrun”
to a considerable extent,
a new power has been
placed in the hands of the amateur
photographer. During its short but
brilliant life the bulb emits a light of
high actinic value, and, used in conjunc¬
tion with modern high-speed panchro¬
matic plates and films, remarkably
short exposures for portraiture can be
given. Recently this type of illuminant
has been further improved, and also
reduced in price.
What the Lamp can do.
The photographer who has electric
light available in the house, and adds
one or more of these bulbs to his
equipment, will find that his scope with
regard to home photography on winter
evenings is greatly increased. It is
literally possible to take snapshots at
night, provided that super-rapid plates
or films are used, and the lens aperture
is not less than f/6.3. The bulb can
be attached to the ordinary electric
light-socket at the end of a flex, and
works from the usual house supply.
The life of one of these lamps is
only a few hours continuous running,
but obviously this is not likely to
occur during the production of home
portraits. The focussing and arrange¬
ment of the lighting can be under-
takeh with the light turned on, and
will occupy a minute or two ; the
exposure is then a matter of a fraction
of a second. In this way a bulb may
last for a very long time, even years
if only used occasionally ; so that
although they are more expensive
than the ordinary electric light bulb in
the first instance, they are cheap for
the purpose for which they are intended.
They are sold with the correct fittings
which protect the house fuses, so that
there is no danger attached to their use.
Portrait work always exercises fas¬
cination for the amateur photographer,
but except under very favourable con¬
ditions the lighting is difficult to handle.
Photoflood bulbs give the photographer
an abundance of light, while it is not
trying to the eyes, and is under the
photographer’s control, so that any
effect required may be produced.
The light is intense when first switched
on, but the sitter speedily becomes accus¬
tomed to it, and there is not the strained
look in the eyes that might be expected.
Any other lights in the room may be
left on ; there will be little effect from
them in the short time of exposure.
How to use.
The best position for the light,
when only one is in use, is from the Settling that Santa
front, and a little to one
side. This will ensure a
pleasing modelling on
the face. The light
should not be too high :
the best place for a
head-and-shoulder por¬
trait is about six or
eight feet from the sitter, and about
two feet above the eyes.
The light should be so arranged
that its full effect is gradually brought
on the face. The light should not be
too near, under the impression that
the exposure will be reduced ; a more
distant position will ensure a pleasing
softness, and the effect will be more
even. If the light is brought nearer
the effect will be like that of a spotlight.
The bulb should be used in a reflector.
This helps to spread the light and
protect it from impinging on the lens.
The lamp can be, if necessary, held
in the hand in a holder in the same
way that a flashlight is held, and
sg-i moved about just as easily. Held at
f-j arm’s length in this way the exact
j effect of the light can be judged to a
-1 nicety. It can, however, be used
' ;j equally well on a light stand or tripod,
and this, of course, becomes necessary.’
f'li if two bulbs are used.
Exposures .
Exposures range from i/ioth of a
second at f/b.y upon a soft-gradation
panchromatic plate, to i/25th of a
second upon h3’per-sensitive panchro¬
matic roll film at f/2.9 (exposed in a
miniature camera). Using indirect
light reflected from a light wall, 1
have secured fully-exposed negatives
at I /loth of a second with the same
film and apparatus. If two bulbs are
used, one can be placed at a greater
distance from the sitter to lighten the
shadows and the exposure can be
still further reduced.
If only one bulb is available, and this
is usually sufficient for the amount of
light that is given, a white reflector
is sometimes useful for lightening the
shadow side of the subject. If the
portrait is taken in a room with light
walls the same effect is achieved. In
any case, the same care should be
taken that is observed with flashlight
photography, to avoid reflecting sur¬
faces of pictures, mirrors, etc., which
may reflect light back to the lens.
When developing, care should be
taken not to carry the operation too
far. This is a common fault, and will
result in harshness that is very ob¬
jectionable in portrait work. Tank
development is the ideal lor all
panchromatic material, and for these
subjects the normal time should be
reduced by one-third. This will ensure
that negatives are of the soft type,

The fire in this
The popularity of the Christ¬
mas card shows no signs of
abatement, and each year
sees more made by photo¬
graphic means . This is understandable,
as the number of amateur photograph¬
ers is steadily increasing, and a home¬
made greeting card bears something of
the personality of the sender. It
represents one’s own handiwork, and
as such is generally more appreciated
than a mass-produced “ bought ”
card.
Photography offers to the amateur
a variety of alterna¬
tives for the production
of these cards ; a few
are suggested here. The
biggest problem is that
of subject. The follow¬
ing are the most pos¬
sible for the amateur :
(i) Portraits ; these
should be informal, of
the family, the baby
or children. (2) The
home ; some easily re¬
cognisable part, interior
or exterior. (3) Winter
scenes, etc. (4) Hob¬
bies ; any hobby or
interest of the sender,
whether appropriate to
Christmas or not. (5)
Table-top and still life.
(6) Designs ; preferably
in black-and-white line.
There are two classes
of photographic greeting
cards : one in which a
print is made from a suitable negative
and then mounted on an appropriate
mount with the greeting and other
wording written or drawn. The other
— which may involve the use of two
negatives and masks, and is entirely
photographic — both subject and word¬
ing being from a negative, and printed
on a larger piece of stout bromide
paper which itself forms the mount
and card.
The former is the more simple
method, and is to be recommended to
the average amateur ; if necessarv,
the greeting can be incorporated in
the original subject if taken specially,
as in Fig. i.
Figs. 2 and 3 are a trifle more
complicated, but represent a type
worth doing. In this case the nega¬
tive should be of a subject with a
fairly large light area. The message
is drawn in the centre of a large
white card, and a thin copy negative
made of a suitable size. In this the
letters are quite clear and the back¬
ground light grey, and it should, if
possible, be on film. This is attached
in contact with the picture negative
so that the message is properly placed
and the print or enlargement made
from the two together.
Fig. 4 is another type in which a
design complete with lettering is
prepared and then photographed. In
The above diagram shows a few variations of
folded cards. The simplest is A. A larger card
with an extra fold is shown at B. C is made oj
two cards held together with a silk cord. D has a
narrow turn-over only. E has an inner fllder
on thinner paper. F is folded twice. X
represents appropriate posiiio^is for the prints.
Fig. 2. — Home or Scenic type. Any view of the home or scene appropriate to
Christmas, etc. The greeting in this card was added by attaching in ccmtact to the
original negative a very thin copy negative of the message.

this case a slow (jr " process ” plate
is used to (jbtaiii the maximum black-
and-white contrast. (If necessary one
plate can be used for the design and
another for the lettering.) The print
is then made on a large piece of
bromide or gaslight paper, and when
finished and trimmed is folded to
make the finished card.
Fig. 5 is a typical table-top subject
which offers endless possibilities with
toys and dolls. In any case, the best
possible technical quality in both
negative and print should be striven
for, and the finished result should
be clean and neatly trimmed.

ordinary eled-ric lamps, behind the wall, above and to each side of the fireplace; the
back of the fireplace stood apart from the front to emit the light.
If a great number of cards are to be embossed, it will pay
to make a cardboard press, as shown in Fig. 6b. The parts
shown as shaded of this press are made from one of the
Christmas cards themselves by cutting along a line where
embossing is desired. This line should not be closer to the
picture than a quarter of an inch. The centre part should
have about i /32nd of an inch trimmed from each side. A card
to be embossed is placed in the press against a margin guide
and the press run through a wringer. In the absence of a
wringer, force may be applied on the top of the press, rubbing
around the embossing line with the butt end of a screwdriver
or even a spoon.

sinking, greatly adds to the effect. If fifty cards or less
are concerned, the simplest method is the use of a piece

fact, any smooth, blunt

From information commimicated to our Special Representative.
AI.THOUGH I was for many years sufficiently interested
in photography to submit an occasional print to
^ ' The A.P.’ for criticism, it was not until six years
ago that it became my'premier hobby. My favourite cameras
are 3^X2j : one a T.-P. reflex with a 5-in. and) a lo-in,
(telephoto) lens ; and the other a double-extension Zeiss
Ikon ‘ Maxima,’ with ‘ Distar ’ attachment,
“ Week-ends are spent in the countryside and village
street in search of the elusive masterpiece. It is really photo¬
graphs of the atmospheric and weather conditions that make
the best pictures ; and if, after a long day, I have not made
an exposure, I do not mind. If the game was too easy it would
not be appreciated. Then there is the pleasure of the open
air, and many things have been seen that would have been
missed but for the urge of photography.
Despite the weight, it is usually the reflex that accompanies
me on these occasions, chiefly for the advantage of the lo-in.
lens, which I think gives a more natural perspective for most
outdoor subjects. It is especially suited to valley scenes
taken from a high viewpoint, against the morning or evening
light — a type of which I am particularly fond. Whenever pos¬
sible the exposure is made on a rigid tripod,
A camera is my companion every week-end and holiday
throughout the year, and, during the lighter months, on my
journey to and from business. The best picture often presents
itself in unexpected places and during the roughest weather.
I also attempt home portraiture, mostly of children, by
means of a flash or half-watt lighting. In making the picture
Christmas Eve,’ the camera was located almost at ceiling
level to give prominence to the child. Two flashes were used,
the larger one being concentrated on the child by
means of a tin cylinder in which the fiashpowder
was placed : the other and much smaller flash was
near the camera, to give a stealthy light effect to
the room. The two flashes were simidtaneously
electrically fired by means of a distant control
device.
I favour the backed soft-gradation panchro¬
matic plate, with panchromatic roll films and
film packs for extras. filter is used or not,
according to conditions. The time and temperature
method of development is used, and developer
mixed to maker’s formula. My type of negative
for a condenser enlarger requires about three-
quarters the time given in the tables, and this
time is again varied to suit the type of subject.
Contrasty subjects and flashlight exposures are
developed in Azol or Rytol.
For many years I was a lone worker, deriving
most of my tuition from the pages of ‘ The A.P.,’
and the criticisms of my prints entered for its
Intermediate and Advanced monthly competitions.
It was not until I joined the Leeds Camera Club
in 1930, and had studied the methods of its
leading workers, that I submitted pictures to
open exhibitions.
“ My prints are now made on ‘ Clorona ’ and
Kodak ' Royal,’ about 12 xio, and generally on a
cream base. I have no objection to undetectable
control, but my modifications are chiefly restricted
to a little crayon and stump or some oil reinforce¬
ment. Bromoil I yet hope to master. ,My at¬
tempts as yet have fallen short of my bromide
work.
I take an interest in Press competitions,
especially those stipulating the subjects. Some of
these competitions encourage a high standard of
technique, as after-work on a glossy print is
easily detected, and competition is very keen.
Several exposures made for this purpose hav'e
yielded exhibition pictures.”

Some Critical Comments
There are two things that strike
one forcibly about No. i of
the prints reproduced on the
opposite page — " Columbus, Ohio,”
by A. M. Armstrong. The first is
the very charming way in which the
sunlight on the buildings has been
rendered, and the second is the un¬
relieved depth of the tones of the
archway and foreground.
Foreground and Distance.
It is recognised, of course, that the
dark tones set off the brightness of
the buildings, and an element of good
solid black is almost essential. It
need not, nevertheless, be entirely
devoid of modulation, and the vista
would be no less attractive and lose
none of its force if the shadows of
the foreground were more detailed.
The probability is that a measure
of under-exposure is present. It can¬
not be definitely stated in the absence
of the negative, but the only other
likely factor that could cause a similar
blackness in the darks is over-develop-
'ment of the negative, or the use of a
paper of too-vigorous characteristics,
of which the print affords no evidence.
At all events, the result is that which
might be expected to follow an ex¬
posure on the short side, and, appar¬
ently, the reason is attributable to
an insufficient allowance being made
for the nearness of such heavy darks.
As an indication of what ought to
have been given it may be said that,
if the exposure was adecjuate for the
distance, as it does appear to be,
what is required to bring out modula¬
tion in the shadows would be some¬
thing like eight to twelve times that
which was allowed.
It is possible that even so great an
increase might be only barely enough,
but, if more were given, there would
probably be some loss in quality in
the lighter portions, and the best that
could be hoped for is in the nature
of a compromise.
Opposing Claims.
Some adjustment, perhaps, could be
made by limiting the contrasts of the
negative by reducing the time of
development, but this, again, is an
expedient to which recourse is re¬
stricted. It, too, would have the
effect of reducing the quality, to
some extent, for, while it would
permit a greater degree of modulation
to be shown in the darks, the more
subtle gradations of the lights would
be less distinctively displayed.
The opposing claims of lights against
darks and of exposure and develop¬
ment seem to present a problem that
is almost insoluble, and, in the end,
the best rendering is likely to be
afforded by a compromise.
With No. 2, ‘‘ November,” by J. V.
Cooper, the case is different. The
subject, perhaps, is a bit on the
flattish side, but not a great deal, and,
if a normal exposure were given,
followed by the usual time of develop¬
ment, a print on the normal grade of
paper, or one with a shade more
vigour, should prove quite satisfactor3^
It does not present the extremes of
contrast which made No. i so difficult.
No noticeable difference would be
discernible between a print that came
from a negative that had just sufficient
exposure and one that had six or eight
times as much, whereas, with No. i,
the distinction would be marked.
In the first, the exposure must be
nicely adjusted, but in No. 2, as
long as it is enough, the precise
degree is unimportant.
A Case for Discrimination.
The two prints give an idea of the
sort of thing that is met with in
practice, and an indication of when a
measure of discrimination has to be
exercised, as well as when the need
for caution is not so pronounced.
In No. 5, ” Trees in Winter,” by
Denis Crowley, the range of contrast
is somewhat greater than in No. 2,
mainly on account of the proximity of
the trees to the viewer ; but the
difference is not much, and, if some¬
where about four times the exposure
that No. 2 had were given, the normal
procedure could thereafter be adopted.
These two winter subjects provide
an illustration of the fact that this
particular season has its opportunities
as well as the summer. Photography
may be practised the whole year
round, and, even at Christmastide,
when most of us are thinking of other
things, the landscape enthusiast will
be able to find subjects if he looks for
them, while others, who may prefer
to remain indoors, may find plenty of
of material in the festivities appropriate
to the occasion.
Indoor and Outdoor.
It may not be probable that out
of doors such effects of sunshine as
are shown in No. i and in No. 6,
” Low Tide,” by A. Aubrey, can be
secured ; but, on the other hand, the
suggestion of atmosphere, which is
nicely conveyed in both Nos. 2 and
5, is often available.
” Low Tide,” with its suggestion
of summer sunshine is, nevertheless,
most pleasing, particularly by reason
of its contrast with the weather we
are now experiencing. The two prin¬
cipal figures are well caught, and lend
interest to a well-chosen subject ; and,
if the third is not so fortunately pre¬
sented, chance may be more favour¬
able on another occasion. A little
more foreground, to enable the figures
to sit more comfortably in the picture
space, seems desirable.
In other respects, the scene makes
up very well indeed, and while the
form of the arrangement is equally
good in No. 3, ” Evening,” by Dorothy
Cathro, the print is rather inclined
to flatness, and the sky, in its blank¬
ness, is devoid of any of the suggestion
implied by the title.
Blankness and Tone.
Were a real evening sky, with its
long streamers of horizontal clouds,
incorporated, the probability is that
the picture would live up to its title,
and, if a suitable cloud negative is
available, the experiment of printing-
in might be tried.
In the case of No. 4, ” Through the
Arch,” by V. Aiyar, the same criticism
— regarding the sky — does not apply,
for the full gradation of the clouds
seems to be rendered in all their
subtlety of tone. Insomuch, the print
is good ; but it, too, could do with a
little more vigour, such as a touch of
sunshine would confer, and possibly,
by deferring the exposure a little,
something of the sort might have
happened. In that event, the gain
in pictorial attraction would be appre¬
ciable, and, though it might have
meant the exercise of no little measure
of patience, it would nevertheless be
well worth while. ” Mentor.”

Some Notes on the Pictures reproduced in this issue.
Most appropriate to the season
of the year, and illustrative
of the sort of thing that only
presents itself at Christmas-time, is
“ The Waits,” by Mrs. B. Rodney
Bryant. It presents a scene that is
very characteristic of that most en¬
joyable time, and indicates a class
of work that can be undertaken by
anyone with but a little contrivance.
Studies at Night.
Either flashlight, the flash bulbs
that have been now on the market
for some little time, or artificial
lighting may be employed as the
illuminant. The first two are practic¬
ally instantaneous, and permit of the
subject being shown without visible
movement ; while the second, in view
of the need for an appreciably long
exposure, involves the co-operation
of the sitters.
In all cases, it is a simple matter to
arrange for the lighting to be under
control, and under conditions such as
these the creation of pleasing pictures
should not prove difficult.
Grouping, as in this instance, calls
for some consideration, and due regard
should be paid to the claims of natural¬
ism. It will very often be found that
the figures, without any prompting,
assume good formations, and, if so, full
advantage should be taken of the
opportunity as it occurs. How far
the group in this case is spontaneous,
and how far it has been inspired by
judicious posing, history does not
relate ; but the formation is good, if
inclined towards symmetricality, and
there is no obvious nor objectionable
feeling of pre-arranged posing.
On the contrary, there is quite an
excellent impression of spontaneity,
and each individual figure is free
from any suggestion of camera-
consciousness.
Frontal Lighting.
The point might be raised that there
is a certain lack of modelling in the
features. This is attributable to the
fact that the lighting is in much the
same direction as the line of sight ; but
a tendency of this nature is always
present when a frontal lighting is
employed, particularly when, as here,
the source of light is low in origin.
It is this that is responsible for the
absence of the details of the features
in the chief figure (i), but, now that
the cause is known, a recurrence may
be avoided by taking the obvious
precautions.
However, the matter is not, by
any means, of vital consequence, and
the picture attains a decided success in
view of its seasonable topicality.
On the whole, it is exceedingly well
done, and instinct with the spirit of
Christmas.
Children’s parties and dances, too,
are a feature of the period, and very
delightful little studies can be made
with groups of the participants. Of
this, ‘‘At the Party,” by H. Tolcher,
provides an instance, the two figures
being shown in fancy dress. It is a
very attractive piece of work, and,
though there is little doubt but that
the two figures were deliberately
posed, the fact does not seem to
force itself upon the attention.
Their arrangement and placing is
very well managed, the boy (i) assum¬
ing principality by reason of his
stronger placing and the fact that he
is shown in an upright position. The
figure of the girl (2) is somewhat
subordinate, being put rather nearer
the margin and in a sitting pose, but,
nevertheless, is sufficiently in the
picture to claim an appropriate
measure of attention.
Subject and Setting.
The composition, as far as the
arrangement of the figures is concerned,
is therefore quite satisfactory, but,
having regard to the very light tones
of the dresses, the great depth of tone
in the setting introduces a feeling
of harshness that would be better
avoided.
It is appreciated, of course, that
these things cannot be always arranged
as could be wished, and there may
have been no other alternative. The
surroundings, however, would be more
suitable if they were only a shade or
so darker than the average tone of
the figures or represented by a medium
grey. This arrangement might pos¬
sibly be contrived if a similar subject
is essayed in the future, but, apart
from this, the subject is very well
chosen and most engaging in its
presentation of childish charm.
Technically, too, the work is ex¬
cellent, the rendering of the texture
of the satin of the children’s dresses
being particularly well recorded, and
the distinctions between the tones in
light and those in shadow being also
most faithfully distinguished. It is
always a pleasure to see such a high
level of craftsmanship, and, even if
we are not all blessed with an artistic
vision, we can at least manage to
achieve a like standard of workman¬
ship.
In fact, the technical side of the
work can to-day be handled with more
ease and success than ever before in
the history of photography. What
was formerly difficult, or even im¬
possible, has now become comparatively
easy, thanks to great improvements
in lenses, in sensitive material, and
in methods of lighting. Our range of
work is greatly enlarged, and we can
give full scope to our ideas and
ambitions. ‘‘ Mentor.”

but it is essential
that they must be
in profile.
The following is
the procedure;
Take the rough,
unmounted print,
and v/ith a pair of
small sharp nail-
scissors cut care¬
fully round the
outline, trimming
away anything that is unnecessary in the shape of chair -
backs, untidy hair, etc., but at the same time produce a
clean-cut outline, especially in regard to the neck and
shoulders.
Fig. I is a typical print for the purpose. Fig. 2 is
another and spoilt print from the same negative that has
been cut out as suggested. The cut-out print is then
placed on a piece of thin black paper (the black paper in
which bromide and gaslight paper is wrapped is quite
suitable). With a very hard, sharply-pointed pencil the
outline is then traced or marked round on the black paper,
being careful not to move the print in doing so. This pencil
outline is then cut again with the scissors, and a perfect
silhouette is obtained which can be appropriately mounted
on white card as shown in Fig. 3.
An alternative method is to cut out the black paper at
the same time that the photograph is cut, holding the two
pieces together and cutting through both. If necessary,
after a little proficiency has been acquired, it is quite
possible to cut through two or three thicknesses of the black
to cut the silhouette in white paper and mount
it on a black card.
These silhouettes are, of course, not entirely
photographic, although brought about by using
a photographic basis, and as such produce
definitely attractive results that for some
reason are more appreciated than those pro¬
duced entirely by photographic means.
No photographic skill is required, as any suitable print
can be used, and the merest novice can make quite distinct¬
ive silhouettes. It is particularly useful for prints that
are of no value for other purposes, an example of which
is shown in Fig. 4. This was a failure as a photographic
portrait. It was taken by
flashlight and the sitter’s
eyes were closed, but the
profile is sufficiently clear
to make an excellent sil¬
houette as shown in Fig. 5.
■Jcwr-
Fig. 4. — The print.
Fig. 3, — The silhouette.
Many articles have appeared from time to time
instructing the amateur photographer how to
make silhouettes by photography, the usual method
being to place the figure in profile against a white sheet
stretched across the open doorway of a darkened room,
and to make the exposure by means of a flashlight illu¬
minating the other side of the sheet. The camera in this
case is on the same side as the sitter, and sharply focussed
with a small stop to produce the cleanest outline and an
under-exposed black-and-white result.
The following method enables real cut-out black paper
silhouettes to be obtained which can
be utilised for Christmas and greeting
cards.
It will be found a good way of
utilising spoilt portrait prints, or, if
necessary, portraits can be made de¬
liberately for the purpose, in which
case quite rough prints will serve ;

A Ski-ev cUmbijig, carrying camera, etc., in a ruck-sac.
SWITZERLAND in winter is a veritable paradise for the
photographer. The Alpine scenery, beairtiful at all times,
is enhanced by its covering of sparkling white snow, and
every visitor with a camera will, of course, take photographs
of the Alpine sports. Skating, ski-ing, and hockey, etc., are in
full swing on all sides and provide endless subjects for pictures.
The value of light and shade for the making of a picture is
fully demonstrated by an analysis of the landscapes to be seen
around us. A word of caution, however, is well needed with
regard to the light in the shadows, if under-exposure is to be
avoided. Even in the sunshine the light is very deceptive, and
it is only on snaps of distant landscapes that stops of f/ii and
f/i6, coupled with i/50th sec., can be used.
Many photographs are spoilt by their lack of contrast and
shadows. The sun should be shining from the side of the picture,
or even towards the camera, provided that a lens hood is used.
The worst possible position
for the source of light is
behind the photographer,
as this tends to make the
picture look flat, and the
shadow of the operator will
probably protrude into the
foreground.
There are so many photo¬
graphs which must be taken
to record the holiday, par-
ticularl}^ of action subjects.

In most cases when photo¬

sports a shutter speed ofi/250th
sec. (usually the highest speed
on a Compur shutter as fitted to
the modern hand camera) is
quite sufficient for excellent re¬
sults, provided that the camera

will the best places for good photographs be reached.
Equipment is a point which most of us like to settle before
starting on a holiday. Though all cameras are suitable for
snow photography the folding roll-film direct-vision cameras
are preferable, as owing to their compactness and light
weight they will go easily into a ruck-sac and will not be
unduly heavy when climbing.
A yellow filter and an “ all-round ” lens hood are two neces¬
sities of equipment. Films and film packs can be purchased
almost anywhere in Switzerland, and the modern panchromatic
film is ideal for the work.
Even if the camera is not fitted with a shutter giving high
speeds, plenty of good subjects are available with a slow speed.
Figures can be secured when stationary, or they can be posed

ill the right setting for effective pictures. If
a tripod is taken, fine Alpine landscapes can
also be taken with short time exposures. In
this case, a colour filter and slower panchro¬
matic material can be used to secure the full
range of tonal rendering.
The main thing is to take plenty of photo¬
graphs and go for the original and experimental
snaps. The shop in the village can develop

School Theatricals by Flashlight
Some timely hints on a seasonable topic. By GWYNETH PENNETHORNE.
This is the season for
school plays, and the
amateur photographer
is pretty sure at some time to
be asked to take a few groups.
Even if the lighting of the
hall or " gym” is good, expo¬
sures bv this alone would of
necessity last several seconds,
and as many of the players
are likely to be small children,
flashlight is by far the best
form of lighting to employ.
Flashpowder is simple to
use, and no one should be
deterred through ignorance
from attempting to tackle such
a job if asked.
One is usually advised to
choose the night of the dress
rehearsal for the work, but
I strongly advise waiting until
the night after the perform¬
ance ; the actors will be far
less ‘‘ edgy,” once ‘‘ the night ”
is over, and the stage manager
(a most important person)
will be able to give you his
undivided attention and valu¬
able help.
It is advisable to get this
gentleman (or lady) to make
out a list of the scenes to be
taken beforehand. One can
then calculate the total amount
of powder needed. Nothing is
more annoying than to reach
the last and most important
scene powderless.
As a rule, the chief difficulty
the novice experiences is in
deciding the amount of powder
to use for each exposure.
The tables given with most
commercial flashpowders act
as a guide, but one is generally
safe in doubling the quantity
recommended ; more failures
in flashlight photography being
caused by under-exposure than
any other cause.
The photographer will find
that in at least one picture
he will be expected to include
the entire caste. This will
necessitate the camera and
flash being a considerable
distance from the stage, and
the amount of powder needed
will be larger than for the
pictures taken nearer the stage.
Except for the finale it is
best to persuade the players
to combine in smaller groups ;
these compose better, and the
individual actors are given
more prominence. One can
also compress groups perhaps
rather more than the stage
manager may altogether ap¬
prove, thus obtaining larger
figures.
Indian Maidens.
The Doctor's Vi^it.
Pooh-Bear and Piglet.
As a rough guide I have
found that for groups of three
or four players, taken from a
distance of about eight feet,
with a certain amount of
auxiliary lighting, 25-30 grains
of powder is ample, using the
lens at f/8 and a plate or film
of about 600 H. & D. ; for
groups of si.x to eight, at a
distance of twelve feet, 40-50
grains will be needed ; while
over twelve feet, for reallv
large groups, 60-80 grains
will not be too much. There
is little danger of over-expo¬
sure, and it is better to use
plenty of powder than run the
risk of wasting time, film,
powder, and, most of all,
a valuable opportunity.
If a flashlamp is not avail¬
able the powder can be fired
from the lid of a biscuit tin,
and a second lid fixed at right
angles to the first will serve
as a reflector. The flash can
be fired with touch-paper
supplied with the powder,
and the instructions which
are given with powders such
as Johnson’s or Agfa should
be followed carefully.
A pair of tall steps will make
an excellent support for the
powder-laden tin. They should
be placed above the level of
the camera and to one side
of it. Note that no hangings
or draperies are near the
flash, or that the flash is not
too near the ceiling, or it
may get scorched.
It is usually possible and
advisable to leave on the
ordinary room lights, as well
as the footlights — if any.
If touch-paper is used for
firing the flash it is a good
plan to use only half the
length supplied and so cut
down the waiting period.
Except for “singles” a
very fast lens is not a great
asset. One is generally obliged
to group the figures in at
least two planes, and a stop of
f/8, and occasionally f/ii is
needed to bring all the actors
into focus.
As in large groups the
individual faces will be dis¬
tinctly small, sharp focussing
is imperative, so that enlarge¬
ments of several diameters
may be made.
There is not much smoke
from the modern powders,
and if a window is opened for
a few moments after each
shot little trouble will be
experienced on this score.

A MINIATURE CHRISTMAS.
By “ The Walrus,.”
IT seems to me that one Christmas is very like another,
only more so ; just a mix-up of goodwill, strained
waistbands, turkey, waits, colic. King Wenceslas,
bills, fat heads, and all sorts of sorts. I3ut for photographers,
who are the only
people who matter
much — and not very
much, either — this
ought to be the first
real miniature Christ¬
mas.

W h e n it ccmies
to photographic pre¬
sents, some of us
will have to hunt
for them with a
double-barrelled mi¬
croscope, and then
we shan’t find them.
In the good old days,
as we sarcastically
call them, it was no
use hanging up stock¬
ings to hold the cam¬
eras and things we
expected, and a sack
on the bed -rail was
not considered comme
il faut (or whatever it is) in the best circles. So there was
nothing for it but to invent pyjamas. (Fig. 089A.)

Please do not write to point out
that it ought to be a tailor’s sand¬

And if you are going to be smart you
can wish yourself a happy Christ¬
mas, and save me the trouble.

It is quite on the cards, too,
that this year miniature cameras
will figure in the Christmas pudd
instead of coin of the realm, and the
lucky silver pigs that have to be
retrieved by surgeons from your
innards later on. And it is there¬
fore on the cards that Aunt
Sophronia (Fig. ?) will bite on the
latest miniature camera under the
impression that it is a sultana,
and smash her denture. (Laughter
and cheers.)

ing like as well filled as I
have observ^ed such things
to be at other and more
interesting times. (Fig.

The same sort of thing
is noticeable in the gentle¬
man (shall we say ?) who
has paid (or owed ?) a
few cool hundreds for a
miniature outfit with gad¬
gets, and distributed them
through his pockets. There
is no sign of them. We
may think we can detect
a slight protuberance, but
that is just as likely as not
to be a pickled onion he
On the whole, there seems a prospect of quite a diverting
festal season, with hitherto unheard-of possibilities, perhaps
even including a slump in the prices of lemonade powder
and hand-knitted
tripe.
With the aid of a
tiny camera, and a
still tinier Smasha-
light lamp we shall
be able to take hun¬
dreds of portraits of
bright young things,
of whom the one
shown in Fig. Ai is
the best specimen I
could dig up in
the time. She is
unnaturally natural,
compared with some
of them. For exam-
pie, she has painted'

He may also feature a few friends and relations such as
those chucked in as a free sample in Fig. F4.5. Some of these
weird specimens have almost a human appearance, and a
slow-motion picture of such expressions as they occasionally
register is very much worth while. There is no objection
whatever to pole-axing the specimens when done with.
The main difficulty is in refraining from doing it first.

I want it to be distinctly understood that my own
liking for ihiniature articles is definitely limited. It does
not extend, for example, to turkeys or boxes of cigars.
Quite the reverse. If you regard this as a broad hint j’ou
are welcome to do so, and to take it.

So far these remarks have been, I fear, rather too instruc¬
tional and technical ; perhaps too serious for the jovial
occasion. By way of introducing a little personal interest
I wiU wish you a particularly jolly and adventurous teeny-
weeny miniature Christmas ; and after that a voluptuously

How to make GHOST PHOTOGRAPHS
ONTRARY perhaps to the reader’s expectations, this
article does not propose to deal with the photo¬
graphy of one’s ghostly
ancestors or of those other
nameless apparitions, headless
ghouls and corpse-snatching
fiends, which seem to infest
the atmosphere during this
festive season.
Since the correspondence
columns of this journal have
in the past given some con¬
siderable publicity to the
very fascinating question of
whether or not real spirits can
manifest themselves upon a
photographic plate, it is ob¬
vious that interest in the
subject is not confined to the
believer in Spiritualism, or
to the journals which are
published for the benefit of
such.
Round about Christmas¬
time, however, one cannot be
bothered to wait patiently
for the witching hour when
the “ blood-curdling brag¬
gart ” returns to the scene
of his crime. In fact, quite
e.xcellent spirit photographs
can be obtained without wait¬
ing for the assistance of
anything so ethereal as a
ghost.
To take photographs in
which a “ spirit ” has a promi¬
nent position, the following
procedure is usually adopted ;
The person elected to " see ”
the apparition sits down in
the ordinary way with an appropriate expression of fright
or astonishment fixed upon his or her face.
A straightforward flash¬
light photograph is then taken,
using, however, only about
four-fifths of the normal
quantity of flashpowder.
The sitter retaining ex¬
actly the same pose, the
ghost,” who is a second
person suitably attired in
light-colour clothing, then
takes up his position, and the
remaining one-fifth of the
flashpowder is fired. If the
two charges of powder are
mixed and put out before¬
hand for rapid use, the mak¬
ing of the second exposure
will be . greatly facilitated.
The camera must, of course,
be on a tripod and not
moved between the two ex¬
posures.
Care should be taken also
to see that the background
is not a plain one, since the
transparent effect of the
ghost ” is greatly enhanced
when a few chairs and other
articles are visible through its
liody. The ultimate result
of the double exposure is, of
course, obvious : the first
yields a picture of the host,
the second a picture of the
ghost. The combined effect
is most realistic, if one may
be permitted to use such a
term in reference to a " ghost”
picture. Griff. J. Jones.

Yuletide Hints for the Cinematographer
By SIGURD MOIR.
fHf AMATEUR PHOTOORAPHER
^ 6 CIMEMATOiRAPHER a
NEWS, NOTES ANt) MATTERS OF IN-
TEREST FOR ALL CINEMATOGRAPHERS
USING AMATEUR CINE APPARATUS.
ONCE again, the festive season pro¬
mises to be a very busy one for the
amateur cinematographer. Busy,
for with Christmas Day itself falling upon
a Tuesday, celebrations will in a great
many cases be extended over a period
of five full days, in which event the
question of programmes is going to
present a somewhat trying problem.
Apart from this, there is the pre¬
cautionary amount of overhaul work
to be done ; and it is advisable, too, to
take full advantage of the usual for¬
gathering of friends to make a compre¬
hensive family film of the festive period.
Films,
Unfortunately, there are bad as well
as good ways of carrying out these
Christmas tasks, and all too often it is
the bad ways that prevail. Oftentimes,
for example, the hiring of films is left
until the last moment (when it is
difficult if not impossible to obtain any
of the films that are considered suitable
for inclusion in the many displa5^s which
have to be given).
Then the projector is apt to be put
into use without first being subject to a
thorough overhaul — which, together with
cleaning, becomes an essential to success
in any continued run of shows. Nor
does this take into consideration the
appreciable preliminaries to filming even
a 400-ft. .family reel.
For a beginning, then, steps should be
taken to obtain all the films likely to
be required over the period. This, even
where a good accumulation of films is
already possessed, is likely to prove a
difficult matter unless recourse is had
to outside assistance. And in this
connection it is impossible to over¬
estimate the value of interchange facili¬
ties which already exist within the
amateur movement.
Most clubs or societies which possess
any organisation worthy of the name are
able to put members in touch with one
another for the purpose of conducting
these exchanges, whilst in many cases
facilities actually exist for the loaning
out of films previously acquired by the
club librarian. In addition to which
amateurs can always approach one
another with a view to exchanging
personal films for the period of the
vacation.
Quite apart from these facilities,
recourse can in most cases be had to the
extensive stocks of commercial libraries.
But here a word or two of warning :
keen amateurs always place a reserva¬
tion upon the films they want some few
days before the actual time at which the
films will be required for showing — and,
despite the fact that in one or more
cases as many as 400 copies of a single
film are known to be in existence, it
must therefore be regarded as essential
to make early application for the best
and most popular of library releases.
In most cases, too, it is advisable to
have on hand a fairly extensive list of
alternatives ; not that librarians are
wont to substitute any but the same
type of films for those not in stock — but
it is most distressing at this time of the
year to show films that the majority of
guests have already seen.
Projection Preliminaries.
If these selected films are to be seen
at their best the projector (or projectors)
must naturally be adjusted to give of
their utmost efficiency. Frictional parts
must be thoroughly cleaned and oiled.
and a running test made in order
to regulate the drive at projection
speed.
For cleansing, there is nothing more
suitable than kerosene, which must be
applied with a stick swab and then
removed prior to lubricating the machine.
Most manufacturers recommend a light
oil (some, the lightest mineral oil
obtainable) for lubrication, and this is
generally very sound advice. In the
case of gear-driven machines, however,
it will be found better to use Wakefield’s
heavy oil for the larger bearings and
crown wheel gears — especially on the
Paillard G916 and similar robust pro¬
jectors. (This oil is obtainable from
most stores in sixpenny injector cans ;
the only possible objection to its general
use is that in very cold weather it may
be necessary to run the machine for
a minute or two immediately before
the show, in order to attain proper
rejection speed.)
The next important thing is to clean
There is always the possibility of snow at Christmas-time. In view of this the amateur
cinematographer should be prepared to secure typical action subjects such as the above
while the going is good and before a thaw sets in.

out the gate, after which it must be
seen that the lamp is properly centred
within the projector. This can be done
by holding a positive lens (such as that
in a simple reading-glass) directly in
front of the projector objective and
varying the distance until an image of
the burning filaments can be seen on
the screen. Any deviation from the
central position can thus be corrected
in the minimum of time.
In glaring cases, of course, the fault
manifests itself in the form of coloured
spectrum lines appearing on the sides
of the screen.
A Film Record.
The holidays should certainly not be
allowed to slip by without making at
least one short film for future showing
to family audiences ; but unless the
film is well made it is far better to leave
the whole project alone.
Undoubtedly the essential require¬
ments are super-sensitive panchromatic
film, a camera well equipped with wide-
aperture lenses and — if any long shots
are to be attempted — a few brilliant
lights. The half-speed intermittent may
be found helpful, and good reflectors
are almost indispensable. And always
remember that reversal film can sustain
under-exposure where positive-negative
would be ruined.
Space does not permit of our going
any farther into technical details ; but
the need for avoiding film friction, and
going directly for a " straight ” but
well-planned record film, cannot be
too strongly stressed. Indeed, in this,
as in most other things (Oscar Wilde
notwithstanding), truth is easily more
desirable than make-belief.
■ With this advice 1 wish you all a
Merry Christmas and — Good Screening !
Christmas Presents for Cinematographers
By “ ACTINOGRAPHIST.”
Yuletide gifts “ from one cinematographer to another ” are always selected
with a view to useful service. The foilowing article offers some assistance in
this matter and also suggests a number of frequently-overlooked alternatives.
CHRISTMAS again ! And of all
the tasks that confront the
amateur cinematographer one of
the most important is that of selecting
gifts and souvenirs for his closer acquain¬
tances. Some of these will unaccountably
prefer bad cigars and disconcerting ties ;
but not a few will wake up to find
themselves richer by one or two cine
accessories or possibly a piece of major
apparatus.
The presents can, indeed, be divided
into two distinct classes ; one for those
who already possess the major equip¬
ment, and another for those relations
(especially young nephews) who are tre¬
mendously interested in the hobby and
who would certainly appreciate the
gift of a brand new camera or projector.
In the first case, one’s outlay is not
likely to prove so great ; yet there is no
little difficulty in making an appropriate
selection from the great variety of
\ presents available.
Perhaps the most acceptable of all such
is the gift of a new feature film. These
films range in si^e from one or two reels
to seven or eight — with certain subjects
priced at slightly higher rates than
others. Camera-men, however, occa¬
sionally look askance at commercial
prints (!), and for these enthusiasts jt
may be moie satisfactory on the whole
to purchase a few spools of super pan¬
chromatic or similar raw stock.
E.xposure meters vary very consider¬
ably in price, so it may not be difficult
to comply with veiled requests for " a
meter ’’ — aiid much the same applies to
filter sets. Tripods, however, are in a
different category. In order to be
efficient, they must be able to support
the weight of a heavy camera, and to
remain rigid under the strain of vibra¬
tions created by a robust motor ;
for these reasons only the best is good
enough in tripods.
For those who already possess a good
collection of feature films, few presents
will prove more acceptable than one of
the new hide-and-velvet carrying-cases.
These are obtainable in a variety of
prices and sizes, each reel having a
separate compartment to itself, so that
it may be advisable to as -ertain the size
of the recipient's favourite subject and
to specify w'hen ordering the number of
compartments required (including, of
course, one for the take-up). Carrying-
cases are also obtainable for a number
of projectors which are ordinarily sold
without any other protection than that
offered by the manufacturer's supply box.
Both projectionists and producing
amateurs also like to possess enlarge¬
ments from their favourite frames ; and
for all such the great attractions of a
cine-film enlarger should not be over¬
looked. Accessories to complete these
attachments include a film pack, packet
of contact printing paper and an ordinary
printing-frame.
Amongst a host of smaller presents,
such things as splicers, spare lamps and
humidor cans definitely stand out.
The latter especially (each includes an
empty 450-ft. reel) is always more
welcome than the alternative tragic
tie — for there is no limit to the number
of such cans that the active amateur
can put into use.
MEWS AND REVIEWS
JL 1 ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
The Northern Photographic Exhibi¬
tion organised by the Manchester
Amateur Photographic Society and the
Bradford Photographic Society was
opened in the Manchester City Art
Gallery on December 8th, and will con¬
tinue until January igth, 1935. Over
2,000 prints and nearly 1,000 trans¬
parencies were received'. This consti¬
tutes a record for the “ Northern.”
Apart from the British Isles, entries
were sent from eighteen countries — but
owing to the limited space available
only 4.^0 prints are shown, about one-
fifth of the number submitted, and 270
slides. The exhibition is of a verv high
standard and is regarded as one of the
best seen in Manchester.
The Nottingham and Notts Photo¬
graphic Society has recently changed its
Hon. Secretary, the position now being
held by Mr. H. C. Fletcher, 323, Huck-
nall Road, Nottingham.
Users of the Ensign "Midget” Cam¬
era will be pleased to know that they can
now obtain Selo fine-grain panchromatic
film suitably spooled for this popular
little camera. It is supplied in six-
exposure spools at gd.
Photographs Wanted. Messrs.
R. & E. Boyd, Ltd., of 130, New North
Road, N.i, are in want of photographs of
places of interest in this country to issue
as a series of picture cards for tobacco
and cigarettes. Readers who have likely
series for disposal .should get in communi¬
cation with this firm.
A complete g-mm. cine film library
has been started by Wallace Heaton,
Ltd., of iig. New Bond Street, W.i,
and has been arranged to include all the
films in Messrs. Bathe’s Continuous
Title Library. They will be available for
release for the first time for the Christmas
holidays, and thus ensure that those
who book early will get absolutely
brand new copies for showing on this
occasion. Catalogue and full particulars
should be applied for at once by all
readers who are interested in g-mm.
films. _
An Exhibition of American Pictorial
Photography is now open at the Royal
Photographic Society's House, 35, Rus¬
sell Square, W.C.i. It will remain open
to the public until December 31st.

give the name and address of the writer. '
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjects.
All contributions must be type\vritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, ill be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following condition^
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. {2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. {3) Neither enquiries nor prints
for criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. ^^’e endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
reach the enquirer.
Single Components.
Can I use the front or back combination of my
lens alone ? If so, will it be an anastigmat ?
R. C. H. (Scunthorpe.)
VVe cannot say how the single com¬
ponents of your lens will work, but, in
any case, they will not be anastigmats,
but what are known as ‘‘ single ” lenses.
If you have sufficient camera extension
you may find the single components
useful for landscape, and even portrait
work, but the quality of their perform¬
ance can only be decided by actual trial.
Choice of Enlarger.
I cannot decide whether to have a condenser in
an enlarger or not. A catalogue I have says
" Condenser enlargers are fast becoming obsolete,”
and yet condenser enlargers are stiU being made.
Which type of enlarger do you advise ?
E. V. M. (Iffley.)
With very small negatives there is no
difficulty in getting even illumination
without a condenser, although the
exposures are necessarily longer. The
statement that condensers are becoming
obsolete is not accurate, except in the
case of very small negatives, and even
then there is something to be said against
the assertion. Many have a preference for
a condenser, but using diffused instead
of direct light.
Tinting Photographs.
I have been trying to tint glossy bromide prints,
but even when they are wetted first the colours
are streaky. What can I do to avoid this ?
N. W. (London.)
We know of no reliable means of
doing away with this trouble entirely,
although the use of a little ox-gall in
the water helps. Personally, we prefer
a matt surface, which is less repellent
than a glossy one, and in our opinion
looks better when finished. Soak the
print first, lay it on a sheet of glass,
surface-dry it, and apply the colours in
a series of light tints at intervals rather
than in one strong one.
Developer Stains.
I developed several negatives with some old
developer (single solution), and they are stained
and dirty. Can anything be done to make them
usable ? D. O. M. (Exeter.)
You do not give much information to
guide us. We suggest the following
treatment. Immerse the negative for
ten minutes in :
Potassium permanganate 25 grs.
Common salt . . . . J oz.
Glacial acetic acid . . i oz.
Water . . . . . . 10 oz.
Keep the dish moving during the
operation. Rinse negative. Place till
bleached in 10 oz. water containing oz.
potassium metabisulphite. Rinse. Re¬
develop in fresh solution (such as M.Q.,
amidol, etc.), wash and dry.
Distortion.
What is about the shortest focus lens that can
be used for portraits without showing distortion ?
A. L. (London.)
Your question indicates that you are
under a misapprehension. What you
evidently mean by distortion is not a
question of focal length, but of distance
from lens to subject. It is best not to
have the lens nearer to the face of the
sitter than nine or ten feet. W'hatever
the distance the only difference made
by focal length will be one of size, not
of drawing.
Pyro for Tank.
If it is possible to use pyro for tank development,
will you suggest a formula ?
H. W. (Birmingham.)
It is quite possible, and here is a
suitable formula :
A. Pyro. .. .. .. 280 grs.
Sodium sulphite . . 4 oz.
Pot. metabisulphite . . 210 grs.
Water to . . . . 20 oz.
B. Sodium carbonate . . 4 oz.
Water to . . . . 20 oz.
The tank solution is A, i part ; B, i
part ; water, 1 8 parts.
December 12th, 1934
Formalin.
Can you give me a hint or two on how to prepare
and use formalin ? What is it, anyhow ?
C. J. (Salford.)
To answer your second question first,
commercial formalin is water containing
forty per cent of the gaseous aldehyde
of methylic alcohol. In photography
it is used for hardening the gelatine
coating of prints and negatives, and is
so effective that even boiling water will
not melt the hardened gelatine. If one
part of the commercial solution is added
to nine or ten parts of water, prints
and negatives will be hardened in three
or four minutes ; a solution of one in
twenty should be allowed to act for
ten minutes. Subsequent washing is
not necessary, as the gas disappears as
the water dries out.
Gum-Bichromate.
Where can I get a book about printing by the
gum-bichromate process ? Are materials for it
obtainable commercially ? M. L. W. (Bolton.)
We know of no book now in print that
deals with this process only, but you will
find all the necessary information in
" The Dictionary of Photography,” where
nearly a dozen pages are devoted to it.
Many years ago prepared papers were
obtainable commercially ; but all the
best-known exponents of the process
prepared their own. The scope for
individuality of method thus afforded
was one of the few advantages of the
process.
Testing Shutter.
I understand there is a laboratory in or near
London where shutters are accurately tested.
Can you give me the address ?
C. C. M. C. A. (Glasgow.)
The National Physical Laboratory,
Teddington, Middlesex.
Ink Stains.
How can I remove ink stains from a negative ?
A. M. S. (Devizes.)
Several methods have been suggested
for removing ink stains from prints,
and these apply also to negatives. At
the same time, we hesitate to recommend
any of them for two reasons. First,
because their success depends lasgely
on the character of the ink, and, secondly,
because any treatment which will remove
the ink may also damage the image.
Chromium Stain.
What is the strength of metabisulphite solution
for removing chromate stain in intensification ?
L. A. L. (London.)
The exact strength of the potassium
metabisulphite solution is not important,
but five per cent is generally regarded
as suitable.
Composite Pictures.
Is there a book deaUng specially with the building
up of composite pictures from diSerent negatives ?
H. E. H. (London.)
We cannot recall any book devoted to
detailed particulars as to making com¬
posite pictures, although the matter is
dealt with incidentally in various text¬
books, and in many articles. There are
so many methods and so many personal
ideas on this subject that the informa¬
tion has to be picked up from time to
time from all sorts of sources.

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
Loudon, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in " The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, oQering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

THE IDEAL PRECISION
MINIATURE CAMERA
ZEISS IKON LTD,, 11, Mortimer House, Mortimer Street, London, W.l
The above picture taken by ordinary stage fighting Is enlarged from
a portion of a Contax negative. For indoor photography or night or
street scenes of ail kinds the Contax with fjl Sonnar is ideal. The
following Contax publications are obtainable free on request: “The
Connoisseur and the Contax,” “The Ten Contax Lenses,” and
“Accessories for Contax Photography.”
In the Contax the miniature camera reaches Its most perfect form.
The following features are worthy of note :
(1) The practical shape of the camera makes it easy to hold
camera steady.
(2) The back opens in the ordinary manner, and is. therefore
accessible for cleaning and for the use of ground-glass screen
and dark slide for special purposes.
(3) Daylight-loading spools or lengths of naked cine film in
cassettes can be used.
(4) Choice of 12 Zeiss lenses, all interchangeable. Varying
foci from l| in. to 20 in., and in apertures f/1.5 to f/8.
(5) Range-finder focussing coupled with lens. The base of the
range-finder Is approximately 4 in., thus giving accurate
readings.
(6) The all-metal focal-plane shutter gives exposures from
I second to a guaranteed I / ! ,000 second and Time exposures.

The exhibition of American
Photography at the Royal
Photographic Society’s House,
35, Russell Square, is well worth a
visit this week, not only because it
has been selected by 155 selectors,
but because it demonstrates the
great levelling-up of pictorial photo¬
graphy all over the world, since the
“ invasion ” by American pictorial
workers in igoo. On that occa¬
sion the newness, strength and
brilliance of the work from across
the Atlantic, when seen in the mass,
was staggering to those accustomed
to the conventional treatment of
pictorial subjects by the British
workers. Since then, not only the
British, but all the other nations
where pictorial work with the camera
is practised, have gone ahead, and
this collection, which contains some
remarkably fine work, representing
as it does the pick of the American
pictorialists, has a very familiar
appearance. A notice of the ex¬
hibition is given on another page in
this issue.
Christmas Photography.
Apart from the possibilities pre¬
sented to the amateur photographer
nowadays for securing well-exposed
negatives on dull days, or indoors at
night by the aid of flashlight, photo¬
flood lamps and flashbulbs, there
is little difficulty in making equally
good photographs by the ordinary
lighting of any room. The magi¬
cians of the laboratory give us
emulsions of amazing speed, the
opticians have still further increased
the apertures of anastigmats, and
the camera-makers produce minia¬
ture instruments that exploit these
advantages to the limit, with the
result that the ideal is now almost
reached when the camera will record
in a fraction of time exactly what

the eye sees, no matter what the light¬
ing conditions may be. During the
Christmas Holidays this year, more
than on any previous occasion, there
is no excuse for a single reader who
possesses^ a camera, and a know¬
ledge of how to use it, to neglect to
make exposures. This particularly
applies to the Christmas family-
gathering. Such records are easy
to secure with modern lenses, plates
or films, and even if they are not
always entirely pictorial they are
subjects with a personal quality that
renders them precious in years to
come. The opportunity should not
be missed on this occasion also to
make use of the home cine camera
whenever possible. This is now
well within the range of everyone
possessing one of these instruments.
A note on the subject is given in
our cine pages this week.
“ Times ” Have Changed.
Our note headed “ Modern Pho¬
tography ” (page 503), in which the
remarkable results obtained by Press
photographers at the Royal Wedding
were commented upon, has led an
old hand to recall the exposures
necessary when amateur photo¬
graphy was in its infancy. Our
friend has discovered among his
treasures a copy of, Wormald’s
“ Practical Index of Photographic
Exposure,” dated 1889, a guide
which was very popular among
amateurs forty-five years ago. The
H. & D. speed numbers for plates
were not known until the following
year (i8go), and the speeds were
known as so many “ times ” — thirty
times, forty times, and so on — the
indicated times being the number
of times a plate was quicker than a
wet plate. The speed in common
use was “ thirty times,” a speed
which to-day would be known as

amateur of 1889 was in the habit
of using, quicker lenses being rarer
and more costly than they are
to-day. The fastest exposure given
in the tables, using a “ 30 ” plate

and this on a sunny J une day
between the hours of 9 a.m. and
3 p.m. In 1889 a few venturesome
amateurs used a “ 60 times ” plate,
and these required half the “ 30

gives a list of 75 different brands
of plates.

Mr. Pollard Crowther was the
same as ever, only more so, when
he inaugurated the session of the
Pictorial Group the other evening
with an address. He said a great
many interesting and amusing and
emphatic things, chiefly about stage
photography. His Graflex camera,
he said, had now made about
30,000 photographs. He and it had
worked together without the slightest
friction, though both of them had
made errors. On technique Mr.
Crowther was as vague as his photo¬
graphs were sparkling and clear.
He accepts the principle of the late
Mr. N. E. Imboshez, whom we
remember once telling us, when asked
what exposure he gave, that he
“ held the bulb and let go when he
thought it had had enough.” But
he got fine results, and so does Mr.
Crowther, witness his present ex¬
hibition of theatrical photography at
Russell Square. Incidentally, he
gave us some useful if rather inde¬
finite information about the Royal
Wedding. He declared that everr
single him used on that occasion,
which to begin with was hyper-
sensitised, was further hypersensi-
tised with a certain chemical, half
an ounce of which, and ten minutes'
immersion, increased the speed by
40 or 50 per cent for the next
forty-eight hours, but no longer.
Mr. Crowther having, as he said, no
head for chemical formulae, could
not remember the name of this
substance, and when he did com.’
across it could not pronounce it.
A Treacherous Camera Stand.
A Press photographer teUs us of
a sad incident on the occasion of
the photographic reception of a
famous American film star. The
reception took place on the roof of
the Carlton Hotel. One of the
enterprising camera-men had the
great idea of using the chimney as
a camera rest. He placed it in
position, and went back to arrange
his subject. When he returned that
camera had gone down the chimney
— and the subsequent proceedings
interested it no more.
R. CHILD BAYLEY
An Appreciation by LORD ILIFFE.
By the death of Mr. R. Child Bayley, I have not
only lost a valuable business colleague, but also
a close personal friend of more than thirty
years’ standing.
In these few words of appreciation, I do not propose
to deal with the many incidents which fly to my mind
in connection with Bayley and his work as Editor of
Photography and The Amateur Photographer, and later
as a Director of Iliffe & Sons Ltd., which latter position
meant for him much wider commercial responsibilities.
The business side of Bayley 's life has already been
referred to by Mr. F. J. Mortimer, the present Editor,
and I propose to confine myself to a few notes concerning
him as a man and a friend.
Bayley, although of a retiring disposition, had a
great capacity for friendship. It has been my good
fortune to spend many holidays with him, ranging over
a long series of years. I always found him a delightful
companion, adaptable, more than usually well informed,
and with an irresistible sense of humour.
His main hobby was reading, but he would have
nothing to do with the modern novel. Dickens, Scott,
Anthony Trollope, he knew almost by heart, but he was
always a little reluctant to admit that the modern
novelist produced anything worth reading. I did,
however, once manage to persuade him to read Gals¬
worthy’s “ Forsyte Saga,” and Arnold Bennett’s “ Old
Wives’ Tale,” which seemed to modify his judgment.
Next to the Old Masters to whom I have referred,
Bayley loved to read biography, and particularly his¬
torical biography. His knowledge of Napoleon and
Napoleonic history was unusually extensive.
Perhaps his most striking characteristic was his
remarkable independence of judgment. That stood
him in good stead in business, and it certainly added
much interest and power to his conversation. His
judgment was always formed as the result of a careful
study of the merits of a case, and he would not allow
that judgment to be deflected in the least by sentiment.
It was therefore always very worth while to obtain
his views upon any matter. In business, I have often
put before him a problem in which he had no personal
concern, and invariably the doubts and difficulties
have been dispelled after he had brought his clear and
analytical mind to bear upon it.
Child Bayley for many years past has spent his
Christmas holidays at my house in Berkshire, and he will
be greatly missed at the family gathering, for he was
just as popular with the younger generation as with
those of his own age.
He always had at hand a remarkable fund of stories
which were ever apropos of the conversation of the
moment, and used to tell these stories with inimitable
good humour.
Our Christmas cheer is always mixed up with a good
deal of exercise, but Bayley would have none of that.
When exercise was afoot, even a mild walk with the
guns, he would retire happily with a book.
Bayley was a man of great loyalty and affection. He
seemed to try to hide the sentimental side of his charac¬
ter, regarding it as a weakness, but in that he was not
altogether successful.
His loss has left a blank in my own immediate
circle, which vvfill not easilv be filled.

' iHi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
G CINEMATOORAPHEI? Q
December 19th, 1934
Still-life provides the amateur
photographer with an ideal out¬
let for his picture-making desires
at this time of year. He can work
indoors in comfort and can use either daylight or artificial light
without regard to length of exposure ; while the subject-matter is
entirely under his personal control. In the following article the
general principles of still-life work with the camera are outlined.
TILL-LIFE
STILL-LIFE photography pro¬
vides both an excellent way
of spending a cold winter’s
evening and practice in technique
and composition. It also provides
an incentive to constructive artistic
effort, and should be practised by
all who wish to take photography
seriously.
Still-life should, however, be ap¬
proached from a definitely pictorial
point of view, and not as a mere
exercise in technique. It is not suf¬
ficient to take photographs of a more
or less miscellaneous assortment of
objects arranged in such a way that
they conform with the rules of
composition. It is not sufficient
so to arrange the lighting that some
simple object assurnes a new strange
■shape or wonderful pattern, and
many “ stunt ” photographs fail
because of this.
Pictures with a Purpose.
Good photographs only become
good pictures when they convey
some message ; when by his arrange¬
ment of suitable objects the artist
expresses an idea. This is not to
be interpreted as a recommendation
to avoid the practice of so-called
“ stunt ” photography, which be¬
comes eminently successful when
inspired by artistic motives.
Thus, before deciding upon a still-
life group the worker must first
decide what it is that he wishes the
group to represent, or what idea
he intends to convey, and this is
essential.
It is useless to collect together
ornaments, fruit and flowers, or
the hundred and one things useful
for still-life studies, hoping for an
inspiration. The inspiration must
come first, when it will be a com¬
paratively simple matter to collect
the necessary material, all of which
should be in keeping with the
subject.
The number of objects chosen
should be as few as possible con¬
sistent with adequate expression
and the requirements of composition.
and the lighting should be of a
simple, straightforward nature, ar¬
ranged principally to emphasise the
modelling and texture of the objects
composing the group.
Lighting.
Except where some particular
arrangement of light and shade is
necessary to enhance the expression
of an idea, the main source of
illumination should be fixed so that
the light falls upon the subject at
the usual angle of about 40 degrees.
The shadows can be relieved by
reflectors or by another light source
above the camera. Too strong an
illumination should be avoided, be¬
cause this raises the contrast by
throwing deep shadows, and the
shorter exposures involved cannot
]5e considered worth while when the
camera is already mounted on a
tripod and there is no fear of move¬
ment.
For normal conditions a satis¬
factory arrangement is provided by
setting up the camera under the
ordinary room light and providing
the main illumination by means of
another light of similar power some¬
what nearer and to one side of the
subject. If it is necessary to use
flashlight, a long enough time ex¬
posure should be made with the
ordinary room lighting to secure
adequate shadow detail, whereupon
the firing of the flash will provide
the angular main light. The dura¬
tion of the time exposure must
vary according to circumstances,
and can only be decided by actual
experience.
Camera and Lens.
There is no camera better than the
stand camera for dealing with still-
life studies, but any camera provided
with a focussing screen will answer
the purpose very well. Wide-aperture
lenses are only useful to facilitate
focussing, and should be stopped
down when making exposures if
adequate depth of focus is to be
secured.
A long-focus lens' is very useful
in providing good modelling and
perspective, or, alternatively, the
camera should be set up at such a
distance from the group that the
whole of the plate is not required to
contain the subject, extraneous sur¬
roundings being removed by con¬
sequent trimming after making an
enlargement.
If a stand camera is not available,
and the worker is equipped only
with an ordinary roll-film camera
with no focussing screen, these
subjects can still be attempted,
although the work is not quite so
easy and certain. The camera should
in any case be securely attached to
some firm support to enable a pro¬
longed time exposure to be given.
The objects to be photographed
should be on a larger scale, to per¬
mit them to be taken at a greater
distance, and the focussing nvust be
accomplished by careful measure¬
ment of distance in conjunction with
the focussing scale.
Arrangement.
In the ordinary way it is advisable
to stick to negative material -with
which one is quite at home, but
with still-life subjects that will not
run away, or can be re-arranged at
will, we have an opportunity of
trying out and making ourselves
familiar with new material.
It will often be found when
making photographs of a group of
objects that the balance of com¬
position is upset by the light falling
upon. the one side, one side of the
picture being light and the other
dark. This fault can be avoided
by arranging the background so
that its tones vary from light to
dark from the dark side of the
subject to the light. This can be
secured by the use of hangings of
different tone or colours, but for
flower studies, fruit, and similar
subjects, a plain neutral background
of smooth brown paper — continued
to form the base on which the object
stands — is generally the best for the
purpose. C. M.

at what the Christmas shop¬
keeper has to offer renders
them entirely delightful
models for the camera. The
photographer has only to
sally forth on any bright
morning into the principal
shopping street at the
present time immediately
before Christmas to realise
the wonderful material that
is available for picture¬
making.
The owner of a miniature
camera is particularly favoured, as with most subjects of
the sort rapid action in the use of the camera and a com¬
paratively cjuick shutter exposure are necessary to make
the most of these subjects.
It is not a matter of
stalking,” but of being
ready on the instant that
the subject assumes the
best position for a snap¬
shot.
In this respect the minia¬
ture camera, or a camera
that can be used promptly,
and the film changed and
the shutter set rapidly, has
ev'erything in its favour.
In view of the general
low actinic quality of the
light at this time of year
it is desirable, however, that
the lens should be of the
largest possible aperture,
and the hlms of the highest
possible speed. Here, again,
the miniature camera scores,
and street snapshots, even
on dull days in December, can produce fully-exposed
negatives if an aperture of f/3.5 is used in conjunction with
one of the super-speed panchromatic films.
The !$el£-Taught
Amateur
Half a dozen perfect negatives of a variety of subjects
lie before me, the fruits of eighteen months’ sohtary
apprenticeship in photography. A p(jor showing
for so long a period ? Perhaps, but the pc^int about these
negatives is that each represents exactly what was sought
from diverse conditions and subjects. Preliminary survey,
light testing, vie-wpoint, exposure and dcvelo} ment — all
were just right, and the results are precisely what were
envisaged each time the camera was taken from its case.
Moreover, 1 can be reasonably sure of repeating this
measure of success, or at least of being able to recognise
where I have gone astray. '' All my own work ” has a
special significance in this case. Circumstances make me
a lone-hand learner, dependent solely on textbooks,
instruction pamphlets, and the invaluable ” correspondence
course ” supplied weekly by ” The A.P. ”
Recruits enlist in the army of amateur photographers
from many motives. I bought a camera with the un¬
romantic purpose of providing myself with an interest apart
from daily work that was absorbing too much mental
and nervous energy. From this neurological point of
view the hobby was a success from the outset. It provided
a needed counter-irritant of inexhaustible possibilities.
But I made a false start. My first camera was an inexpen-
sivte miniature, a nice little instrument, but a poor instructor
in fundamentals of photography. Despite careful exposure
records, by the time a spool was finished and tank developed,
individual exposures had lost identity and mistakes were
difficult to ascribe the right cause.
So the miniature was replaced by a plate camera ; and
from that moment I began to understand how and why
things happen. For others who of necessity must be self-
taught, I offer some suggestions for a systematic approach
that minimises wastage of time and materials.
The essence of my systepi is to ex;pose two plates on the
same subject, one at the orthodox actinometer reading
for " control ” purposes, and the other with such variation
as is being studied. Develop both together by time and tem¬
perature. After mixing the dark slides I saw the virtue of a
slight shift of viewpoint for the second exposure, so that
there could be no confusion between the finished negatives.
Une may as well choose subjects with pictorial possibilities
for these test exposures, though that is not the prime
consideration. The ” control ” negatives are not wasted.
They are useful at a later stage for observing the relation¬
ship between negatives and different grades of printing
paper ; for experimenting with intensification or reduction ;
and for acquiring skill in spotting and retouching.
It is a good idea to desensitise ortho plates and develop
in a bright light as used for gaslight paper manipulation.
Then one can see with ease and comfort just how an
image builds up, and the progressive stages of development.
Time and temperature should be regarded as a sheet-
anchor ; having seen the effects of under- and over-exposure,
of the differences made by use of a filter, and of what can
be done to correct negative deficiencies by choice of paper.
Desensitising and close inspection, with time and tem¬
perature always as a foundation, is especially useful at
this stage. So few experts realise the inadequacy of printed
instructions for the man who has never watched a negative
develop, and has to learn to recognise the difference
between under-exposure and under-development.
Thus one may learn to counteract excessive contrast in the
subject by over-exposure and shortened development,
and to make the best of a dull, flat subject with the minimum
exposure and prolonged development. Time and tempera¬
ture tables usually carry instructions for dealing with
such extremes, but the written word is no substitute for
practical experience. Comparisons with a normally ex¬
posed and developed “ control ” negative will show the
effects of variations in procedure that literally have to be
seen to be believed.
This is all very elementary, no doubt, but I do not see
how it can be acquired by a learner working on his own
otherwise than by systematic experiments with negatives
taken in pairs, and follovved through all stages to the
finished prints. Conscientious record keeping is essential
in this or, indeed, any other method. H. W.

TO photograph one’s friends and members of the
family is an intriguing pastime, and plenty of
opportunities occur at this time of year. The
object of this article is to promote in the amateur
a desire to make pleasing portraits devoid of the crudeness
which is so often prevalent in the efforts of amhteurs.
The chief problem from the amateur’s point of view is
a suitable light source. Daylight can be used quite
effectively, but cannot be controlled so easily as artificial
lighting, particularly when only one window is available,
as there is a tendency to get harsh results, with too much
light on one side of the face and not enough on the other.
By combining daylight and artificial light this objection
can be overcome. If this method is adopted orthochro-
A shadow cast by the sitter on to the background often helps to give a more striking appear¬
ance. The sitifr must be close to the background to get the above effect. In this case
two lamps were used, one above the other, about seven feet up and about four feet from
the sitter. A ivhite reflector was iised on the opposite side.
matic or panchromatic material must be used, otherwise
the artificial light will have little or no effect.
In these days of ultra-fast plates and films and fast
lenses there is no reason why the ambitious amateur
should not adopt artificial light entirely.
Various firms make portable lighting sets which are
inexpensive, consisting of a high-powered lamp and re¬
flector with or without a stand. A disused bowl-fire
will make an excellent reflector if painted in aluminium ;
then all you have to buy is a lamp with a screw fitting
costing about sixteen shillings. If your house is wired
with a power circuit you can burn as many lamps as you
like, but if only the house lighting is available it is not
advisable to use more than 300 watts, and then all other
lights should be turned off.
Simple Home
Photoflood lamps are excellent for home portraiture.
They give an equivalent of 750 watts and can be used
from the house lighting. These lamps have a working
life of only one and a half to two hours, owing to the high
intensity at which they work, the voltage rating being
lower than the voltage of the current used ; the price is
reasonable compared with other lamps. It is not necessary,
either, to leave the lights on all the time.
This is a semi-firelight effect. The ''firelight ” comes from a lamp immediately in front
of the sitter and one foot from the floor. If this were used alone there would be harsh
shadows on the cheek-bones and over the nose, so a subsidiary lamp is introduced to the
left of the camera and about seven feet up to give a softer, more general lighting.
Another illuminant recently introduced is the photo¬
flash lamp, which, although not specially adapted to the
needs of portraiture, enables one to take unusual pictures
indoors with an instantaneous exposure.
The first essential in portrait lighting is to control the
intensity of the light. Too much light is just as bad as
not having enough. The intensity can be controlled in
two ways, either by diffusion or by moving the light farther
away from the subject. If light comes from both sides
of the sitter, one of the lights should be farther away than
the other, so that the one which is nearest provides the
main light source and the other becomes a subsidiary.
In the event of only one light being available, a reflector
consisting of a sheet, a piece of white card, or a mirror,
is absolutely essential to, relieve the shadows. A single

light should never be placed square in front of the sitter
(this gives a flat, uninteresting result), but to one side,
and at an angle of about forty-five degrees, with a reflector
on the opposite side, as already mentioned.
By combining daylight and artificial light, a good
“ Rembrandt ” effect can be secured. The background
should be placed immediately in front of the window with
space at the top to allow light from the top of the window

to be used. The sitter then takes up a position about
three feet in front of the background so that the top light
from the window shines down on his (or her) head and
shoulders. This gives the Rembrandt effect. The
features are then illuminated by artificial light in the
usual way.
The choice of a suitable background is a point which
deserves serious attention, for a background can make or
mar ' a portrait. Irritating details and bright splashes
of colour detract the attention from the subject, which
should predominate.
A prominent background can be subdued to a certain
extent by having it out of focus.
Correct posing of the sitter is only acquired from experi¬
ence. If we profit from our failures, then each failure
will be a stepping-stone to success. The following few
hints will probably be of use to the beginner. The sitter
should not be posed square to the front ; this gives an
appearance of too much body and not enough head ; at
the same time it is not advisable to take a side view of a
narrow-chested person. The head should be tilted at an
angle away from the line of the body. In other words, if
the sitter is leaning forward the line of the head should
be more or less vertical.
The direction of the ejms should follow the natural
position of the head. They are the most compelling feature
in a person’s face and should accordingly be made the most
of. A sitter with blue eyes must not be made to face
direct light, or they will look too pale in the photograph.
The pichire above shows what can be done with only one lamp plus a reflector. The
laynp is seven feet high and four feet from the sitter, is placed practically on the same
plane as the background, i.e., slightly behind the plane occupied by the sitter, and protected
by a shade from impinging on the lens. The white reflector is about three feet from the
sitter and illuminates the shadow side.
Dark eyes and deep-set ones require the use of a mirror
or small light to give them sparkle. Taking the wrong
\dewpoint will often give a distorted appearance. A
sitter with a long neck and/or a snub nose will look better
from a high viewpoint, but if a sitter with a short neck
or a long nose were taken from this position the head would
look set right on top of the shoulders with the neck in¬
visible, while the nose would protrude across the line of
the mouth. Hands require a lot of attention, and it is
best at first to leave them out of the picture. If they are
included they should be kept in the same plane as the rest
of the figure with only a subdued light on them.
The exposure will vary with the brightness of the light,
stop, and speed of plate or film. The examples herewith
averaged 2 secs, exposure, f/4.5, pan. film.

A Useful Cold -Weather Heater
By
VICTOR ROBERTS.
Few amateurs are so favoured to be able to command a
room with a maintained temperature of 65 degrees.
More often than not during the colder months of the
year one is compelled to work in one with a temperature of
about 45 degrees.
Provided the necessary additional development time is
given, such developers as Azol, Rytol, Kodinal, etc., will
The heater illustrated was designed to overcome this diffi¬
culty, and does so most successfully.
It consists of a wooden box 10x8 X4i in., outside dimen¬
sions, and is constructed of 5-ply wood. Any other could be
used provided it is of sufficient thickness to withstand the
heat and not warp.
The lid is made of stiff zinc turned down sides of box about

help to overcome this to a certain e.xtent, but any formula
which contains hydro ]uinone will prove disastrous to good
results.
Various expedients are recommended from time to time to
meet the need, such as placing the developing dish within
another containing heated water, or standing the dish on a
heated brick, etc. Though serving their purpose provisionally,
these methods are messy and troublesome if the required
temperature is to be maintained. *
thick felt glued to the top edge of the box will cure, when lid
is on and dish on top.
It can, of course, be made in any other size, but that given
was chosen for use with a whole-plate dish and less. The
heater consists of two gas-hlled 60-watt lamps of the necessary
voltage wired in parallel. The switch on end of box is necessary
as a working temperature of 70 degrees is soon attained, after
which an occasional swatch on is all that is required to maintain
it indefinitely.
Portable Lights for Home and Outdoors
By W. R. LEE.
During the winter months, and
particularly around Christmas¬
time, some safe and handy
form of extra lighting in the home is
of great advantage, and a portable
spotlight an immense help. The chief,
points of interest about the device
now described is that it can be used
either as an extra light, with an
ordinary electric brdb or with a
photoflood bulb, or for firing a
Sashalite bulb, while it is exceedingly
cheap and easy to make up.
The reflector is an aluminium bowl
7 in. in diameter. This, with the bay¬
onet cap bulb-holder, two yards of
twin flex, and an adapter plug, costs
IS. gd., and no more than this is
required to make up the spotlight.
A hole must be cut in the bottom of
the bowl to take the lamp-holder,
to which one end of the flex is con¬
nected, whilst the plug is attached to
the other end. In use a bulb is
taken from any convenient point
and placed in the holder fitted to
the bowl, the plug at the other end
of the flex going into the point from
which the bulb has been taken. Thus
is obtained a portable light-holder,
the rays from which may be directed
anywhere.
So far well and good, but the
arrangement that has been described up
to now will be of no use to the photo¬
grapher if he is any distance from the
household light supply, or out in the
country where there is no electric
light ; but it can be easily varied to
enable it to fire a Sashalite bulb.
All that is wanted is an adapter to
screw into the end of any pocket torch
after the lens and bulb have been
removed, costing a further is. 8d.
560
This adapter is seen just in front of
the torch in the illustration, and it will
be clear from this that the plug on
the end of the flex will also fit into
this adapter, while the Sashalite bulb
goes into the bulb-holder already
fitted to the bowl. When all is
connected up, a matter of seconds
only, the reflector can be placed
anywhere within the limits of the
flex, and the bulb “ fired ” when
desired by the photographer whilst
still at the camera. This is an advan¬
tage over the self-contained type, for
as the bowl-shaped reflector will stop
any back rays of light it can be placed
in front of the lens if needed with
no harm resulting, provided it is
so set as to point away from the
lens.
The arrangement described only
applies to the standard bayonet cap

bulbs as fitted to house lighting, and
the small size Sashalite bulb, for some
reason the larger-sized Sashalite has
a small screw cap fitted to it. Finally,
do not _use light flex, and make sure
all your electrical connections are
clean and tight. Provided your con¬
nections have been well made and
your torch, battery is not too old all
will go with certainty, and the clean¬
liness and convenience of this method,
once tried, will be ample compensation
for the extra cost of the bulbs, and
neither wind nor rain will make any
difference to its working in the open
for exteriors at Christmas- time with
carol singers or “ waits.”
The J^oyal Wedding Pictures
By HERBERT LONGBOTTOM.
The keen amateur may learn much from an analytical study of the
fine photographs issued by the principal newspapers and periodicals.
The recent Royal Wedding was a
day of great achievements in
Press photography. The weather
conditions could scarcely have been
worse, but our daily papers, and then
the weeklies, have been full of splendid
pictures. Cannot we amateurs learn a
great deal from a close study of these
Press pictures ? Suppose we ask our¬
selves a few questions about them.
In face of the difficult weather conditions,
what plates or films were used, and what
focal lengths of lenses, at what aper¬
tures ? Note, especially, the great depth
of focus in many of these pictures.
I spent a thoroughly interesting
evening in speculatiirg on these queries,
with but a hazy knowledge of the actual
methods of Press photographers. It
has been stated by one of the more
famous of these men that few of them
are yet converted to the miniature
cameras. A goodly number will have
been converted by this event. Careful
consideration of Press pictures in general
leads one to the conclusion that these
experts always use the smallest aperture
possible in the circumstances, so as to
secure good depth of focus, especially
in their crowd work. The shutter is
set to the minimum speed required to
arrest whatever movement there may
be, and the lens adjusted to the light
conditions (the plate or film speed being
almost constant). For example, if i/5oth
second would arrest movement, and
lighting permitted, they would use
I /50th at f/8 rather than i /250th at
f/4.5. But this hypothesis is based
on the assumption that the Pressman
is using one of the “ old type ” of Press
cameras, with its usual lens, say a
6-in. lens on a 5X4 in. plate. Are we
correct in assuming this type of camera
was used ? Or were the modern minia¬
tures preferred ?
It is especially interesting to analyse
the pictures of the Abbey ceremony, as
reproduced in The' Times, the Daily
Telegraph or the Daily Herald — all
equally good. First of all, note that
the architectural verticals are true ;
the old trick of swinging the camera back
to get depth of focus cannot have been
used. Let us assume that the lenses were
focussed on the plane occupied by the
King and the Church dignitaries. The
hyperfocal distance of a 6-in. lens work¬
ing at f/4.5' is approximately 100 ft.,
if the lens be focussed on infinity. The
cameras, however, were probably be¬
tween fifty and sixty feet from the King,
and the hyperfocal distance would then
approximate to 40-100 ft. at f/4.5 ; 35-
70 ft. at f/3.5.
Using a 3-in. lens working at f/3.8 on
a 6x6 cm. film or plate, focussed on
50 ft., the hyperfocal distance would
extend from 25 ft. almost to infinity
A modern miniature camera, with a
lens of 2 in., and working at f/2, would
give us, at this large aperture, sharp
focus from 36 ft. to 80 ft., and the
wealthy Pressman has availably, too, a
comparatively long focus lens working at
f/i.6, and giving him from 42 ft. to 60 ft.
in focus. These distances approximate
to the closest and farthest features of
the pictures we are considering.
If we remember that the modern high¬
speed fine-grain films will stand enlarge¬
ment to ten or more diameters without
showing appreciable grain, we can at
once assume that, to-day, a plate 5X4
offers little or no advantage, from the
viewpoint of a good, bright enlargement,
over the miniature size. What advan¬
tages, apart altogether from those
already considered, does the miniature
offer over the older type of Press camera ?
The shutter action is quieter, it is more
easily carried, it is almost unnotice-
able when in use, and it has facilities
for anything from 12 to 36 exposures
in rapid succession. The photographs
reproduced suggest exposures of one-
fifth or one-tenth second ; there are
many signs of slight movement. On
561
such an occasion no Pressman would be
satisfied with one or two shots ; some
notable might have moved in that short
space of time. Alternative negatives
were important.
And what can we learn from the out¬
door photographs of this great occasion ?
The telephoto snaps of the Royal Family
on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
show decided signs of grain — just com-
p’are them with the reproductions of the
" studio ” groups. This graininess again
suggests the use of a miniature camera
using a telephoto lens and fast film (not
so fine of grain as it would have been
had the conditions been brighter) . Prob¬
ably a haze-cutting filter was used. For
work like this there is available, for
the miniature user, a lens of 5^'^.
focus working at f/4.5. Its equivalent
on a quarter-plate camera would be
1 8-in. focus — a lens surface the size of
the palm of your hand and costing a
small fortune. And this 5|-in. telephoto
is by no means the limit of magnification
with these miniature cameras. Nowa¬
days the Press spends money lavishly
on its pictures. For ;/)30o they can
secure a long-distance lens, working at
f/5, with a focal length of 40 in., or the
equivalent of something near 130 in.
on a quarter-plate.
Many pictures have been used showing
the Duke and Duchess in a car. Just
observe that although these have been
taken at fairly close quarters the head
images are almost identical in size, and
although possibly two feet apart they
are equally sharp. Again the miniature
camera is suggested, possibly with a
medium long focus lens with an aperture
of f/1.9. At five yards distance such a
lens has a depth of field ©f nearly two
feet at open aperture, and a focal length
equivalent to a lo-in. lens on a quarter-
plate.
■ Is it any wonder that the experts tell
us that the modern miniature camera is
the all-purpose camera of the future ?

Every week an article will appear under this heading dealing
with a topic of interest to the novice in photography.
POINTS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT.
NOTES t NOTIONS
the
LESS ADVANCED
WORKER
after the interruption in my discourse resulting from
/A the intrusion of the Christmas Number, I want to
say a few more things about development. No one
can dispute the important part it plays in photography,
and all those who are wise enough to do their own work
must make a point of getting a good idea of the principles
of these operations.
Unfortunately there are a good many beginners who
really do not know what satisfactory negativ^es are. The
sooner they find out the better, and there are few who
cannot do this quite easily, especially if they belong to a
photographic society. The best plan is to ask one or
two capable workers for a sight of their negatives, because
there is a certain amount of variation in the appearance
of the best negatives. All of us manage to get a " perfect ”
negative at times, and the oftener we can reach or approach
that standard the better.
I have already, I think, made it clear that the time and
temperature method of development is an excellent one,
although it cannot be expressed by stating one single
definite development time as some suppose. And I have
given the reasons for this.
It may further clear up the matter if 1 refer to an actual
example. If you get a Kodak tank outfit for roll films,
it is accompanied by a booklet giving complete and lucid
instructions for using it. Amongst these is a table of
development times at different temjJeratures, and a ther¬
mometer is part of the outfit. But — and this is important —
the table assumes the use of Kodak films, and of Kodak
tank developer. In such a tank, and under the definite
conditions laid down, I have developed hundreds of nega¬
tives, and I do not think that I could have equalled the
average results by any other method.
But if I use another kind of film, or a different developer,
the case is altered. It is quite likely that the development
times that were correct before would have to be halved or
doubled.
It is for such reasons that it is bad policy to be constantly
chopping and changing with sensitive materials and
developers. We don’t know where we are ; and it is
certain that at times we shall run up against serious diffi¬
culty and disappointment. The only safeguard is that
when we do make a change we provide ourselves with
information as to the modifications in procedure which
that change necessitates.
There is another guide to development which is interest¬
ing, and in many ways helpful ; although, like other systems,
it has its snags and shortcomings. Mr. Watkins, of meter
fame, discovered many years ago that there was a reason¬
ably definite relation between the time of the first appear¬
ance of image on the negative, and the time taken to secure
a certain degree of density and contrast.
Both of these times varied very considerably, according
to exposure, constitution and strength of developer,
temperature, sensitive material used, and the required
character of the negative. But on all these points
1 4
sufficient information is available to enable allowance to be
made for them, so that the method can fairly be called a
system.
It is known as the “ factorial ” method, because in every
case there is a factor or number, by which the" appearance ”
time has to be multiplied to find the “ development ” time.
I again quote from the Burroughs Wellcome Diary to
give examples. The three factors given are for soft,
normal and strong contrast respectively.

The developers named are the B.W. Tabloid forms, and
similar developers made to another formula would prob¬
ably require different factors.
It is necessary to have a good safe-light, which should
always be the same ; and a watch or clock as a time¬
keeper. The plate is laid in the developing dish, and at
the beginning of a noted minute the developer is applied
and the dish gently rocked. The plate is closely watched,
and seconds accurately counted till the first appearance of
a faint grey on the negative. The number of seconds is
then multiplied by the appropriate factor, and for the
whole of the resulting time the plate is kept covered without
further observation. It is then rinsed and fixed.
Suppose, for example, that we are using B.W. pyro-
soda, that we want a negative of normal contrast, and that
the first sign of an image appears in 40 seconds. We see
from the table that the pyro-soda factor for normal contrast
is 6. Multiplying 40 seconds by 6 we get 240 seconds, so that
we must give the plate 4 minutes from the time the developer
was applied. If we had wanted a soft, delicate negative,
the factor is 4, so that we should then have developed for
160 seconds only, that is 2 minutes 40 seconds.
The method allows for different emulsions which take
different times for image appearance. It also allows for
the rate at which different developers produce a certain
degree of contrast. For example, although metol brings
up the image quickly, it is slow in building up density,
and that is why it has a high factor. Hydroquinone, on
the other hand, piles up dehsity quickly, and therefore has
a low factor.
Some experience and a considerable amount of gumption
are required to work this method, but it has many good
points, and within reason is sound both theoretically and
practically. It is very fully dealt with in the “ Watkins’
Manual of Photography.”
Perhaps the greatest drawback is the necessity of ex¬
posing the plate for some time to hght, and that at the
very stage when it is most susceptible to fogging. This can
be countered by previous desensitising, which would, of
course, be imperative in the case of panchromatic and
super-speed plates ; and in some circumstances it will be
562
December 19th, 1934
found that this preliminary operation involves some
modification of the factor.
The method can be used for flat films as well as plates,
but is not really applicable to roll lilms.
Many old-fashioned workers, like myself, still rely more
or less on developing by observation. There is much to be
said for and against it. It certainly involves experience,
and that is why the more mechanical methods have an
ad\-antage for the beginner.
In my own case I am helped by the fact that for all ordi¬
nary purposes, apart from tests and experiments, I use
only a limited range of sensitive materials, with the indi¬
vidual characteristics of which I am familiar. 1 also use
a standard developer which I know equally well.
Ih[ A^V\TEUR PliOTOGRAPHEB
ta 6 CINEhATOORAPHER a
It is therefore quite a usual practice with me to apply
the familiar developer to the familiar plate, and cover the
dish at once. I know within a little when I can take a
peep at the plate to see which subject it is, as this will
probably affect the degree of development it will receive.
Later on, I know what the back of the negative will
look like, and what it should look like, according to the
subject, and the kind of negative I am aiming for. But,
as 1 say, this needs experience. There are cases where
a patch or two of light grey on the back will indicate that
it is time to stop ; there are other cases when the whole of
the back, except the margins, is a more or less even grey.
1 know which is which, and why ; and that clearly means
a good deal of past observation. \V. L. F. W.

THE MEMBERS’ SHOW at the CAMERA CLUB
A well-known exhibitor has written us in regard to the winning picture at the exhibition of members’ work now
open at The Camera Club, 17, John Street, Adelphi. We publish his communication, and in order to make the
matter clear to our readers we print a reproduction of the picture in question. By the courtesy of Miss Mary
Haddon, author of the picture, we also give a straight print of the original subject,

The Prize Picture.
SOME description of the photograph
entitled ‘Toil,’ which was award¬
ed the only prize at the Camera
Club Members’ Exhibition, may not be
out of place.
This remarkable picture purports to
represent a pair of farm horses la¬
boriously dragging a machine mower
up a steep hill. That the near horse is a
horse is a matter of conjecture. Both
animals are silhouetted solid black
against the sky, which although it
illuminates the driver, leaves his team
in darkness. The outline of the dubious
animal’s head and neck is that of a
prize bull. The steepness of the field
is shown by the angle at which it cnts
the (over-corrected) sky, and it might
have carried conviction had it not been
for the following factors: (1) The
trees on the horizon, instead of following
the usual rule of growing fairly upright,
like the hill itself are set at an angle of
about thirty degrees to the straight.
(2) The horses, instead of following the
usual and only possible course of leaning
forward when pulling a weight uphill.
The Original Print.
are both leaning back. (3) The farther horse is actually backing,
which is not an aid to effort and progress on a hillside.
(4) The near horse (or bull) is gently ambling as if in Rotten
Row. (5) The driver is portrayed as falling backwards out of
his seat on the implement. In fact, he is only secured in situ
by hauling on the reins.
From these peculiarities it is obvious that the photograph
(an under-exposure) was of a flat field, and it is conjectured,
from the attitude of both man and beasts, that the latter were
being pulled up by the driver so as to give the photographer a
chance of winning the prize. The semblance of a hill, which has
no doubt misled the judge, was caused by tilting the camera
quite a lot, sideways, or tilting the print similarly before trim¬
ming.
The show itself contains quite a lot of sound and artistic
photography, the merits of which seem to have escaped recog¬
nition, and much good stuff was crowded out.”

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
" TTriTH me the making of an exhibition picture begins
Y\' before 1 open the shutter of my camera. 1 must
~ ~ have something before me that makes a strong
appeal — something extraordinary in shape, composition or
atmosphere. 1 must from the very start be carried away by
some kind of inspiration.
" Having got my inspiration I then try to reduce what is
before me to terms of photography. I try to see in my mind’s
eye what my finished production shall be like. 1 find out if
it is any advantage to move my camera higher or lower,
right or left, or tilted up or down. If it is a landscape, 1 ask
myself if the exposure shall be normal, or if less or more will
help in any way. Development I make as far as possible a
mechanical process.
" My next step is a direct print (either 3JX2J or half-plate
are the sizes I work), and with the help of four strips of card
I find out approximately the part that I intend to use, and the
shape my finished print shall be. I often take these prints
and strips of card about in my pocket, so that at odd moments
1 can experiment. I have found it amazing what trimming
will do for the picture-maker.
" Enlarging is the next stage. For a start I mo.stly make the
print 12 X 10 on chloro-bromide, and if the subject is in a rather
high hey and the print is full of gradation I use my strips of
card again : placing the print on the floor and
standing on a chair I find 1 am able to get farther
away and the strips are easily adjusted in this
position. Should the print not please me, and
if the tones require adjustment, or the shadows
are not velvety enough, 1 roughly make the
alterations in pencil and keep the result as a
guide.
" Then 1 make a bromoil print. I have tried
almost every photographic process, but I think
1 have found most pleasure in bromoil — one gets
that extra little something that seems unobtain¬
able any other way. For instance, ' Nativity’ was
a flashlight, taken upon a stage the front of which
was not so very much higher than the heads of
the figures, and heavy curtains hung across the
back. 1 was greatly impressed by the performance,
and bromoil was the only medium bv which I
felt I could give an impression of the effect it had
on me. Mind, I don’t think bromoil is suitable
for everything — some pictures can be rendered
much better and easier in chloro bromide.
“ Having got the print to my satisfaction, I
make my final trim, and mostlv mount upon a
piece of cream card with alfout il-in. margin
all round. Now come the finishing touches.
If high-lights require lightening, I do this with a
knife, occasionally holding my print before a
mirror so that 1 can see it reversed. Also 1 turn
it upside down, as this gives me the cfpportunity
of seeing it with fresh eyes.
" Next comes the mount. 1 usually cut this
out of rather thica card, lay it over the print, and
fasten at the back with gummed tape. 1 am not
sure that this is the most artistic way of mounting,
but it has the advafftage that it protects the
surface a little from rubbing.
Reading this, one may think that exhibition
pictures are produced fairly quickly. It is not
so with me. Some of them are months from the
taking to the production of the finished article.
That is why I say that for the enthusiastic photo¬
grapher the days are never sufficiently long, and
life will be all too short.”

C ‘ ' 1 on the Beginners’ prints reproduced on
Oome y^nticaL Comments opposite page.
There is quite a pleasing sort of
sequence about the arrange¬
ments of the figures in No. 5
of the prints reproduced on the
opposite page — ‘‘ The Fishers,” by
Ian Neill — and not a little interest
attaches to their placing, almost
precisely, on one of the diagonals,
but there does seem just a touch of
confusion in the presentment of the
nearest lot.
Figure Isolation,
It is, of course, appreciated that it
is rarely possible to secure a group
of figures in exactly the arrangement
that could be wished, and, whenever
they are dealt with, it generally
seems advisable to make a number of
exposures, choosing a favourable mo¬
ment for each, and leaving the final
choice to the one which, on considera¬
tion, is found to be the best.
Here, the first figure, in himself, is
quite well caught, but there is another
behind with which he appears to be
mixed up, and one farther in the
rear which adds to the confusion.
The fourth and fifth figures, on the
contrary, are admirably isolated
against their setting, and, had the
first group been equally satisfactorily
disposed, the composition would be
much more pleasing. The unequal
spacing of the figures is good, and,
while the sunshine is scarcely concen¬
trated enough to rank as an effect,
it lends a brilliance to the present¬
ment which is of considerable value.
No. 6, “ The Porter,” by S. J. Vella,
strikes one as a no less promising
effort, the feeling of sunlight being
nicely expressed, and the figure being
not only well caught but also admirably
placed in the space available.
The Value of Enlargement.
The print, however, is very small,
and it is questionable if, in its present
scale, its attractions are as fully
brought out as they would be if the
print were enlarged.
As far as can be seen from the
reproduction, the subject would stand
a reasonable degree of magnification,
although there seems to be a slight
falling off towards the top. This,
however, might be corrected during
the operation.
Naturally, the point is one that
can only be confirmed by experiment ;
but this is the time of year when,
with the long evenings, there is
ample time, and a beginning in this
very fascinating method of printing
may well be made.
There is no doubt that it does
bring up the artistic qualities of
a print, and, under present - day
conditions, it is almost essential that
an enlargement must be made before
a subject is suitable for exhibition.
A print of this size, for example,
could hardly stand being placed on a
wall, but there is no reason why a
larger print from the same negative
should not.
No. 3, ” City Dawn,” by F. M.
Stanley, might likewise be treated
with advantage, and the contrast of
the chimney pots with the very fine
sky would in all probability be
shown to advantage.
Circumscribed Subjects.
The nearest chimney, perhaps, seems
rendered on too large a scale, and a
little more space above and below
does seem advisable. The subject
appears to call for a more distant
viewpoint, for, as it stands at present,
it seems restricted and circumscribed.
No. 4, ” King Emmanuel’s Palace,
Cintra,” by Miss O. M. Gee, also
conveys a similar impression, but it
is quite likely that, in both cases, the
required distance could not possibly
be obtained.
In the latter the omission of the
top of the tower is unfortunate, and
the subject cannot be said to have
received the treatment it should.
The rendering does not do it justice ;
but if the state of affairs was as we
have inferred, no other presentation
would seem to be feasible unless a
lens of shorter focus was available.
Such a lens would enable a greater
area to be included upon the plate or
film without alteration of viewpoint ;
but, as a general rule, it is seldom
available when needed.
Had it. been utilised in this case,
the present suggestion of restriction
would have been avoided, and the
presentation would gain correspond¬
ingly. In the case of No. i, “ Waiting,”
by Mrs. Scawn, a like feeling exists,
569
but it is attributable to the placing
of the little figure so near the left-hand
edge and not to a too-near viewpoint.
Line of Sight.
What has happened is that the line
of sight has been directed too much
to the right. The degree may be only
fractional, and if the camera had been
pointed just a shade to the left so as
to include a quarter inch more on that
side and so much less on the other,
the present objection would not exist.
Now, the doll being so much more
in the picture, it claims, really, more
attention than the child, whereas
the reverse should be the case. The
addition of the quarter inch suggested
to the left, together with a trim of
the same amount from the right,
places the two figures in an opposite
relationship, the child becoming the
centre of interest, and the doll revert¬
ing to a properly subordinate position.
This is as it should be, and, with the
reversing of the relative claims upon
the attention, the restriction disappears.
Possibly the effect would be still
further improved if the light on the
child were brighter than that on the
doll. That might be arranged by either
placing the latter in shadow, or, if
possible, by seeing that the tone of the
dresses of each was changed over, the
child being made to seem the brighter.
Relative Significance.
The idea is to emphasise the child
at the expense of the doll, and any¬
thing which tends to stress the sig¬
nificance of the first would also tend
towards enabling the picture to fulfil
its intention.
A somewhat analogous position
arises in connection with No. 2,
” Buildwas Abbey,” by T. Leonard
Bott ; but it arises, here, from the
bright lights of the sky in competition
with the lesser lights on the stonework
of the pillars.
It is the latter which should pre¬
dominate, for it is the feeling of
sunlight upon them which should
provide the motive. The notes of the
sky prevent this, and either the sub¬
ject should be so arranged that none
of the sky shows through, or what is
allowed to show should be subdued
in tone. “ Mentor.”

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
((
Here, in this country, it is
exceptional for a heavy fall
of snow to occur, and, during
the time it remains in its pristine
purity, for sunshine to bestow its
glorifying influence. It more often
happens that, either there is not
enough snow to cover the ground
without allowing patches of
grass or herbage to show
through, or, if the snowfall
is adequate, the sun does
not appear.
Snow and Sunshine,
Parts of the country may
be more fortunate than others,
but, even so, it is very rare
indeed for conditions to be
wholly favourable, and al¬
though, as winter approaches,
visions of snow pictures flash
across our minds, they never
seem to materialise, mainly on
account of these reasons.
Still, the hope remains, but
it cannot be too strongly
emphasised that, without a
sufflcient depth of snow and a
reasonable degree of brilliance
in sunshine, it is practically
impossible to render such
subjects as they should be.
Farther north, or in the more
mountainous regions of the
Continent, better conditions
obtain ; the snow lasts longer,
and there is a better chance
of full sunlight. That advan¬
tage has been taken of these
opportunities this picture
seems to show. The fall is
deep and, except for a few bits
here and there, the ground
is entirely covered. These
bits do not greatly matter, for they
occur in regions where they naturally
join up with other darks which have
their function in the picture.
In the foreground the surface is
suitably broken, and, with the cross
lighting of brilliant sunshine, an
exceedingly fine impression of the
texture, purity and the manifold
modulations of snow in sunlight and
shadow is conveyed.
Tonal Modulations.
By far the major part of the attrac¬
tion of the rendering lies in these
1 8
WINTER/^ by F. Lehner,
modulations. Every subtlety of tone,
from light at its most brilliant to
shadows of soft quality and moderate
depth, seems to be recorded. The
whiteness of snow in full sunshine is
shown, and every minute step from
that brightness to the local shadow
tone is given its full value ; but, if it
be possible to conceive the same thing
without sunshine, it will readily be
appreciated how great the loss would be.
There would be distinctions of tone,
it is true, but all the brilliance, all
the diversity of tone, and all the
sparkle that is characteristic of what
a representation of snow should be
would be lost.
The brightest light occurs to the
right of the principal tree at (i). That
tree, and the light combined, form the
centre of interest, and the conjunction
of brightest light and strongest dark in
the same vicinity ensures so great a
570
concentration of attraction'^that''^the
unity of the picture is fully preserved.
As it happens, the leading lines con¬
verge upon the same area and the
importance of that region is empha¬
sised ; but, even with an arrangement
that was less amenable, the attraction
would still be maintained if the
contraposition of lights and
darks remained.
Moreover, the tree and
light have a not inconsiderable
strength of position which
adds to their significance,
and, altogether, the com¬
position makes up very well
indeed.
( ' From the technical stand¬
point the print is exemplary.
It is of splendid quality,
and the way in which all the
distinctions of tone have been
rendered bears witness to the
high degree of craftsmanship
involved. It is evident that
the exposure has been very
nicely judged in the first
instance, for, while all the
lighter tones are recorded
without loss of gradation, the
shadows are also fully mod¬
ulated.
Technical Treatment,
That these are so well
shown, too, provides a proof
that the time of develop¬
ment of the negative was
suitably adjusted to the
class of paper on which
it was designed to be
printed, and that the
print itself received the
appropriate technical treat¬
ment.
It is very well done indeed, and,
while no data concerning the picture
are available, it may be mentioned
that, in the opinion of prominent
workers in this sort of thing, it is
desirable to keep the exposure on the
short side — about half the meter
reading usually proving adequate — de¬
velopment being carried on for rather
more than the normal time for sunshine
subjects, any tendency to excess of
contrast being counteracted by the
choice of a paper of the longest possible
range. “ Mentor.”

Jetters to the Editor
The Editor is not responsible for

A PHOTOGRAPHIC CALENDAR.
Sir, — I notice in to-day’s “ A.P.” you publish a letter from
a Scotch gentleman who seems to be obsessed with the idea
that Scotland is leading England in the photographic calendar
business. He is quite wrong, for the Manchester Guardian
publishes yearly a calendar called “ The Year in Photographs,”
quite apart from the fact that all the best brewers, undertakers,
etc., make a yearly present to their clients of really beautiful
calendars, often of really lovely quality and artistic appeal.
—Yours, etc., " LANCASHIRE LAD.”
A NEW METHOD OF GLAZING PRINTS.
Sir,- — We all know the difficulties encountered when glazing
prints ; how the prints will stick to the glass despite all pre¬
cautions, and how finally they have to be removed with the
aid of a chisel.
Here is a method that imparts a beautiful glaze, and at the
same time the aforementioned chisel can be dispensed with.
The print to be glazed, which should be on glossy paper,
is fixed and washed in the usual manner. Upon a sheet of
clean glass lay a piece of cellophane (slightly larger than the
print) having previously given it a good soaking in water.
Remove the print from the final washing water, do not drain,
and squeegee in contact, face down, with the cellophane.
Put aside, and when dry the print and cellophane will have
adhered together securely, and the whole can then be peeled
off the glass, imparting a glaze that will gladden the heart of
any blockmaker.
Trimming neatlv completes the operation. — Yours, etc.,
R. H. DEAL.
D. & P.
Sir, — As a professional dealer may I make a reply to the
various " grouses ” that have appeared in your columns
lately. It is unfortunate that your readers seem to have hit
upon people who obviously do not know their business, judging
from the excuses offered for the various errors made. It is
also unfortunate that your readers themselves have not the
incentive to " do it for themselves,” thus missing half the fun
of a wonderful hobby, and incidentally coming across the
difficulties. As a member of a very large society, and one or
two postal clubs, I may be different from other dealers in
knowing exactly the requirements of the more advanced
amateur. To that end I have always given personal service
rather than adopt mass processing methods, both for my more
serious workers and ‘‘ button pressers.”
There is no need for a separate service for both, as Mr. Lewis
suggests. The button presser, with his picture of “ Tommy in
the garden complete with washing and dustbin ” is entitled to
as much consideration as anybody else. It is no novelty to
meet the man who has ” done photography for years ” but
doesn’t want the bother of rigging up his dark-room, and can
get work done for a song at Messrs. Cutprice. Mr. Reeves in
your October loth number complains of the lack of individual
attention. This, of course, depends upon the dealer concerned
and his. method of calculating whether a transaction “ pays.”
Personally, I find individual attention '' pays,” though pos¬
sibly not as much in hard cash as Mr. Reeves’ dealer would wish.
One makes allowances for a hobby. To others I suggest
joining their local society, or if that is not possible a postal
club. There is usually a professional man who is enthusiastic
'enough, like myself, to help. And don’t forget to continue to
read " The A.P.” — Yours, etc., G. E. OAKLEY.
FIXING PRINTS.
Sir,— It is a firmly established tradition in photography,
as recently evidenced in your columns, that the complete
fixation of gaslight and bromide prints requires 15 to 20 minutes
in the hypo. Yet Lumi^re and Seyewitz in 1924 showed that
such a print immersed in a fresh 25 per cent hypo bath was
completely fixed in 20-30 seconds. Anyone who is sceptical
about this may easily te.st its truth by putting slips of bromide
paper in hypo for different times and then treating these with
dilute sodium sulphide solution. If any silver bromide remains
in the paper a brown stain will appear.
Traditions, however, die hard, and I predict that twenty
years from now this tradition, like ” Johnny Walker,” will still
be going strong.
I give my prints two to three minutes in the hypo, and have
had no trouble. — Yours, etc., C. A. SHAW
(Massachusetts.)
SPEED NUMBERS.
Sir, — In reference to the request that appears at intervals
asking for a method of comparing Scheiner speeds with H. & D.
numbers, I give hereunder a table which I have used with
complete success for some time. I only include those speeds
relating to average plates and films in common use. The
advantage of this table over others that have been published is
that the H. & D. speeds are given in round figures, such an
are usually quoted by the makers ; possibly this is not quite
so exact, but it does not have the slightest effect in practice.

etc., C. W. MARTIN.
NOTCHING OF CUT FILMS.
Sir,— Users of present-day cut films are familiar with the
notches in the top right-hand corner when facing the sensitive
side. They are intended to indicate by the sense of touch which
is the sensitive side, but I am inclined to think they might well
be omitted.
These notches seem to have been introduced many years
ago when the manufacture of films was by no means what it
is to-day. At that time anti-halo films were unknown, and
the packing of all kinds of film was nothing like so perfect as
it is now.
Although I fill my slides in complete darkness with S.R.
pan. films, I never have occasion to feel for the notches. The
fact that all films are packed face downwards is quite suf¬
ficient in itself to prevent errors in filling. A further safeguard
is that the films usually curve with the sensitive side inwards,
and finally that the insensitive side of an anti-halo film is
distinctly glossy as compared with the front.
On the other hand, a very definite disadvantage of these
notches lies in the fact that they are stamped out by a die
in process of manufacture, leaving a celluloid burr on the
underneath side. This burr does not matter very much if the
films are kept absolutely apart until they are fixed, washed and
dried. If, however, a few films are washed together in a basin
and allowed to slide one over another some heartrending cuts
in the gelatine are certain to occur.
Whenever I have a few films to be completed in a hurry, I
always snip off the notched corners of the rebate before pro¬
ceeding to hand wash them. This prevents subsequent
damage to the gelatine.
As notching of cut films appears to be an anachronism,
comparatively useless, and in some circumstances harmful,
the suggestion is offered to the leading manufacturers that
notching might be altogether omitted, with a corresponding
economy in their prime costs. — Yours, etc.,
W. McWILLIAM.

A merican Pictures at the
Royal Photographic Society
During this month an exhibition
of unusual interest is open at
the house of the R.P.S. (35,
Russell Square) from 10 to 5 daily,
except Sundays. Admission is free.
We describe the show as one of
unusual interest for two reasons :
first, because of . the variety and
excellence of the exhibits themselves ;
and, secondly, because the method of
organisation was decidedly original.
The idea was to bring together a
collection of prints representative of
American pictorialists, and the success
of the effort is decided and indisputable.
Clearly the task was not only
difficult but delicate ; . and great
credit is due to the energy and tact
of Mr. Joseph M. Bing, of the New
York C.C., and to those who so
enthusiastically co-operated with
him.
First of all, the Smithsonian Insti¬
tution, the four leading photographic
magazines of America, and sixteen
photographic clubs, were each asked
to select and contribute one print
which they considered a typical speci-
Will readers please note that our
issue dated December 26th will be on

Those who go to see the exhibition of
American Photography at the Royal
Photographic Society’s House, 35, Russell
Square, should on no account miss Mr.
Pollard Crowther’s one-man show of
stage photographs, on the ground floor.
Even after seeing the best work America
can show us we must warmly admire
such pictures as these, and compliment
their author on his genius. They are
all in the “ grand ” style, both in
regard to size and treatment, and are
magnificent examples of what really
can be done in theatrical photography.
They are far in advance of the “ usual
thing,” and by the use of the new
Gevaluxe paper for certain selected
subjects they have all the quality
of rich mezzotints.
Pittsburgh’s Annual International
Photographic Salon for the Year 1935
will be hung in the Carnegie Institute,
Pittsburgh, Pa., U.S.A., March 15th to
April 14th, 1935. Messrs. A. Aubrey
Bodine of Baltimore, Md., Frank R.
Fraprie of Boston, Mass., and Dr. D. J.
Ruzicka of New York City, will be the
men of the best American work.
Next, 134 individual photographers
were asked to contribute one print
each, the choice resting wdth them¬
selves. The result is the 1 55 prints
now on view, and a very fine col¬
lection they make.
In a few instances it is a little
difficult to account for the choice ;
and curiously enough this applies
particularly to some of the prints
selected by the magazines and clubs,
although they must have had an
immense number of prints to draw
upon. Further, some of the indi¬
vidual contributors have selected prints
that have already been shown in
this country, and in some cases
recently. But it can safely be said
that of the 155 prints there is not
one which is unworthy of its place
even in such choice and distinguished
company.'
The collection cannot be described ;
it must be seen. It would be not
only invidious but misleading to
select prints for individual mention
in such a brief note as this. To those
jury for selection. The last date for
receiving prints from United States and
Canada will be February i6th. From all
other countries the prints should be
mailed in time to reach Pittsburgh by
February gth. Entry forms, containing
full details, are obtainable from C. E.
Lesher, Secretary, The Pittsburgh Salon
of Photographic Art, Oliver Building,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Annual Exhibition of the Photo¬
graphic Society of Ireland was held in
the Dawson Hall, 42, Dawson Street,
Dublin, from November 26th to Decem¬
ber ist, inclusive. There were four
sections and over 400 prints were sent
in, the largest being the Pictorial
Section, in which the number was 285.
The judges (Mr. G. Atkinson, Mr. J.
White and Miss Ball) commented on
the improvement in the quality of the
work compared with that of last year.
The exhibition was formally opened by
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alderman
Alfred Byrne, T.D., who also kindly
presented the medals to the successful
competitors. Great interest was shown
in the exhibition by the general public,
and a considerable number of new
members was enrolled.
who are unfortunate enough not to be
able to see the collection we may say
that some of the exhibits are repro¬
duced in the current ” Photographic
Journal,” and Mr. J. Dudley Johnston
describes the exhibition in a most able
and interesting manner. We hope to
reproduce several of the pictures in an
early issue of “The A.P.”
Naturally, the technical quality of
the exhibits is of the highest possible
order, and it is significant to note the
processes employed by such distin¬
guished workers. Bromide and chloro-
bromide account for no fewer than
127, and bromoil in all forms for 17,
leaving only 1 1 for all other processes.
In connection with this collection
there is a significant fact that must not
be forgotten. On its return to America
the collection will go on tour, and its
first appearance will be at the National
Academy of Design at New York. As
this practically corresponds to our own
Royal Academy of Art, we are surely
given food for thought. W ill the portals
of Burlington House some day open for
the entrance of pictorial photographs ?
Stolen Camera. — A reader, Mr. R. A.
Atkinson, informs us that he has had
his camera stolen. It is a Leica, Model i,
f/3.5 Elmar lens No. 69974. Should any
reader or dealer hear of this instrument
will he inform the Walton Street Police
Station, S.W.7, or communicate with
the owner at Lacy Green, Coulsdon,
Surrey ?
The Prizewinners in Johnson's " Holi¬
day ” Competition have been announced.
These were : First Five Prizes of each
awarded to ; Mr. T. F. Holdsworth

Your Christmas News Reel M. A. LOVELL-BURGESS.
I HOPE you have begun to make
your Christmas news reel. You
make it, of course, as you do
a diary, bit by bit, beginning with the
first, freckled, lone carol-singer, who
has one eye on the bell and the other
on the policeman, to the full-blown
Christmas carol party loudly exhorting
all Christians to awake and likewise
to hark.
This Christmas news reel will give
you an opportunity to introduce any
subtle touches in characterisation,
cutting and direction generally, that
you may have acquired from a
careful study of 1934 films, amateur
and professional.
There will have to be a shot of
mother going shopping, of father
brooding over a Christmas present
list, of sister packing the surprise
parcel for the youngest member of
the family, the making of paper
decorations in the nursery, the picture
of baby brother writing a long and
laborious letter to Father Christmas.
Remember all these are before-
Christmas scenes and can be taken
and developed in the course of the
next few days.
Get hold of a heavily-laden but
patient postman, and in the editing
of your him let him dissolve into a
similarly laden Father Christmas.
The older ones will see the joke.
Hang round your nearest church
when bell-ringing practice is in pro¬
gress until you get an invitation
to him the bell-ringers at their work.
There is usually one ancient bell-ringer
who deserves a close-up all to himself.
And it is a splendid opportunity,
when you come to show the him, to
work off the gramophone record of
church bells.
I dare not suggest moonlight — as
it happens, it’s going to be a dark
Christmas this year — or snow, but if
snow should come, be ready for it.
There will be the decorating of the
Christmas Tree — get the one-year-old
holding a solitar}^ lit candle and look¬
ing pensively down at its golden glow ;
the stirring of the pudding by every
member of the family (this can be
easily staged long after the actual
puddings are made) ; the bringing in
of the holly and the mistletoe— the
mistletoe by all means if there’s a
pretty girl in the party ; the decorat¬
ing of the rooms. But don’t try and
work off the father, ladder, hammer
and thumb gag. It’s in need of a rest.
Make your film as festive as you
can. Introduce colour, if you like.
Include a glimpse of the brightly-
lit shops, the crowds, a rehearsal of
a Christmas play. Everybody presents
Christmas plays riowadays, from
school-children to members of the
Mothers’ Union.
Impose your titles on a gay back¬
ground ; balloons waving, children
pulling crackers, a close-up of a par¬
ticularly sentimental motto.
Say it with pets, if you have any
in your family. A couple of dogs
pulling at an imitation cracker (per¬
haps you could tuck a bone inside)
would raise a laugh. Tie the pup up
with ribbon and suggest him as a
Christmas gift. Have the cat making
the Christmas pudding, well in the
basin, with a touch of flour on his black
brow.
Don’t be shy of introducing a more
serious side and mixing it all up
together ; Christmas is like that.
Take a picture of the Crib in the
church. The Crib will be there a good
week before Christmas. Emphasise the
spirit of Christmas by a shot of some¬
one giving to a beggar in the street.
Get a last-minute picture of the church
chancel bright with holly and flowers,
or of a choir practising the Christmas
anthem.

of a popular shop or store. This is best done in the late afternoon when all lights are

it. Fastest pan. film should be used, of course.

Finally, show your Christmas news

precise morrient between boredom
and sentiment when the gaiety is
beginning to flag. Like the one
who has completed a postal course in
music, you will be able to say, " When

you can add to it. Make the Christmas

Indoor cinematography presents few
difficulties these days to the intelligent
amateur.
Film the party round the candle-lit
dinner-table. Get the teller of the
ghost story in sinister shadow. Im¬
mortalise the start that Aunt Mabel
gave when, at the most harrowing
moment, the chestnut popped. Aunt
Mabel won't mind. It will take a good
deal of rehearsing, of course, but
rehearsing is half the fun. And
don’t forget to include the toast to
absent friends, and that moment when
the family, united once again, sing a
carol together or join hands in Auld
Lang Syne.

Avoiding Trouble at the Christmas Show
By PETER COLLIN.
Many fortunate people owning
home cinema projectors are now
in the midst of preparing for
the special shows it is customary to give
during the Christmas festivities. In
order that they may be able to be
prepared for trouble and be in a fit state
to cope with it when and if it arrives,
the following few hints have been
compiled.
The Projector.
First of all the projector. Go over
the machine carefully and oil it according
to the instructions issued by the manufac¬
turers, cleaning dirty parts and tighten¬
ing loose nuts and screws. Make sure
everything is in good running order,
especially the take-up mechanism, which
is a most likely source of trouble. On
Pathescope projectors the little take-
up ‘‘ brake ” sometimes needs replacing,
as it wears out after a time and requires
a new rubber.
Study carefully all electrical con¬
nections and see that they are sound
and not likely to cause a fuse. If they
look suspicious it will be found much
better to make new connections rather
than patch up old ones with insulated
tape. The resistances particularly should
be open to inspection, as the heat
generated is sometimes the cause of
destroying the insulations and blowing
a fuse.
The projector motor should al%o be
inspected, making an especial point of
seeing that the brushes are not worn out
and that they are making contact
satisfactorily. It is most necessary to
have the projector handle within reach
during a show. Often this detail is
omitted, but it will safeguard the opera¬
tor against a complete breakdown if
the motor fails.
A small wire-hair brush will also be
found very handy to clean the projector
gate of dirt and fluff at the end of each
reel, which will diminish considerably
the wear and tear on the films. It is
not the process of running films through
the projector which causes scratches
and lines, so much as dirt in the gate,
and especially grit, which cuts its way
into the emulsion whilst the film passes
through.
Clean the lenses and the reflector as
well as the bulb of the projector. A
silk handkerchief is best for this job,
or, if you want to make a real thorough
business of it there are various lens¬
cleaning outfits on the market which are
very effective. If you take the lenses out
of their cases and dismantle them, be
very careful to put them back exactly as
they were, or the optical system will be
thrown out of line.
Always have at least one spare
projector bulb close at hand. Then, if
one burns out during a show, a replace;
ment can be made quickly and without
unnecessary delay. It is much wiser
not to overload the bulb, as it will
shorten its life and only give off a great
deal of heat instead of extra light.
Spools.
A universal and consistent cause of
trouble with projection is due to bent and
faulty spools. They jam the film both
on the top and bottom spool arms,
causing a great deal of strain on the
sprockets, often delaying the take-up
and thus bringing about a breakdown.
The only thing to do is to take great
care with the reels, keeping them if
possible in tins when not in use, and
carefully straightening them out when
bent. If they become too bad it is
best to buy new ones.
Broken Films.
The question of what is the quickest
and most effective method of dealing
with a break in the film during a show
is something which is often heatedly
debated. To my mind it resolves itself
as follows : If the film breaks under¬
neath the gate — that is, when it has
passed through the gate — it is best dur¬
ing an important performance to run the
film into a basket underneath. The
main point to bear in mind is that “ The
Show Must Go On ” if it is humanly
possible, and although this process is
hardly legitimate, I consider it is war¬
ranted under these circumstances pro¬
viding the projectionist is prepared for it
with a safe and clean basket and that
he rewinds the film carefully afterwards.
He must also use his own judgment to
decide if it is worth stopping or not,
according to the size of the reel of film
left to run through and the importance
of the occasion.
When the film breaks on the upper
574
side of the gate, however, nothing can
be done except to stop. In this case it
is obviously wisest to join up and proceed.
Some people do not make any sort of
join, but wind the film round on the
bottom spool until it catches, but this
is unsatisfactory, as it is a tedious process
and painfully slow. Others make a
proper join with cement. While this is
the most sure way it is again a very
slow process when time is precious, and
to the waiting audience a few seconds
seem like several minutes.
A method which if used with a
reasonable amount of care gives both
speed and safety, is to use ordinary
paper clips of the smooth variety and
to clip the ends together. One turn of
the bottom spool is then given and the
show can proceed. With practice this
can be accomplished in very few seconds.
In fact it is a good plan to practise this
method of joining several times before¬
hand so that it can be accomplished with¬
out fumbling when the occasion arises.
Rehearsal.
All the programme should be tested
before the show either by running the
films through the projector and/or
running them through your fingers. For
this hold the film between your thumb
and first finger and rewind slowly. Any
bad joins will come apart under this
pressure, and bad places in the film can
likewise be felt and inspected.
On winding the films back again so that
they are the right way round, a further
process may be attempted, if desired, of
cleaning. This will prevent fluff and
dirt marring the picture during projec-
tiofl. For this use a soft piece of cloth,
and, if possible, a suitable oil remover
such as chloroform or carbon tetra¬
chloride.
Finally, the big secret of avoiding
breakdowns is undoubtedly careful and
unhurried preparation. This must not
be left to the last minute, otherwise
something is bound to be overlooked or
forgotten. If a breakdown does occur
do not be flustered or hurried. Do not
be worried by the audience and the
many turned and anxiously peering
faces ! Set about the difficulty with a
calm confidence and find the source of
the trouble by systematic elimination.

hi AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER '
V) 6 ClhEMATOGRAPHER o | December 19th, 1934
‘Deader^ Questions
^ ANSWERED
General. — All commviiiications for the Editor should be addressed : “ The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematographer , Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,” and in every case, without exception, must
^:ve the name and address of the writer.
CosTRiBfTiONS. — The Editor is glad to consider original, Jip-to-date manuscripts on photographic , subjects.
All contributions must be typewritten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
comiminications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are not paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or prints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wTapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, \n ill be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
ENyuiKiES AND Criticisni. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does not comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. (3) Neither enquiries nor prints
for criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current issue.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? ” or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,’*
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut from the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Magnesium Powder.
I have a quantity of magnesium powder. How can
I prepare it for flashlight purposes ?
J. H. K. (Kirriemuir.)
We are always reluctant to give
information as to the preparation of
flashlight powders, as the process is
attended with considerable danger, ex¬
cept in very skilled hands. The mag¬
nesium powder must be very fine in
character, and you should mix two
parts with one part of potassium per¬
chlorate. The two powders must be
mixed with a piece of card or a feather,
as anything in the way of friction may
cause an explosion.
Time and Temperature.
Will you give me a formula for tank development
together with a time and temperature table ?
R. D. (Bodiam.)
We dealt with the question of time
and temperature tables in the Beginners’
section of our issue for December 5th,
and if you study that it will give you
some information, and, at the same time,
show you what a difficult question yours
is to answer satisfactorily.
Parts.
With a two-solution developer the instructions are
to take I part i part B, and 2 parts water.
What is meant in this case by a “ part ” ?
J. B. (Truro.)
It is no definite quantity. The three
amounts might be, for example, oz.,
-J oz,, I oz., which would give you only
2 oz. of solution altogether. If you want¬
ed three times as much the “ parts ”
would be 1 1- oz., 1 oz., 3 oz. So you
see that you can decide on any quantity
for a “ part ” that suits your require¬
ments. Whatever quantity you select it
holds good, of course, for the three
constituents. The strength would be the
same, even if you took i part, i part, 2
parts, it is only the quantity or volume
that varies.
Checking Scale.
I have reason to believe that the focussing scale
on my camera is inaccurate. How can I check it ?
H. L. B. (Runcorn.)
The simplest way of checking your
scale is to set the pointer to a particular
distance on the focussing scale and
photograph an object at exactly that
distance from the lens. If you do this
with the markings at the beginning and
end of the scale and one in the middle
this will be quite sufficient.
Developing Films.
Do you recommend tank development instead of
dish development for roll films ? Is the former
suitable for panchromatic films ?
R. S. (Huddersfield.)
With dish development of roll films
there is always a risk of what is known
as aerial fog, due to the exposure of
the film to air during the greater part
of the process. Tank development is
certainly preferable in the case of pan¬
chromatic material, as there is also no
risk of exposure to light.
Persulphate.
Will you give me the formula for the ammonium
persulphate reducer ? N. L. Y. (Leeds.)
The following solution, which differs
from the usual one, was recommended
some years ago by H. W. Bennett :
Ammonium persulphate . . i oz.
Sodium sulphite . . . . 2 oz.
Sulphuric acid . . . . 50 min.
Water to . . . . . . 10 oz.
One part of this is diluted with nine
parts of water, and enough applied
to cover the negative. The dish is
gently rocked. After a time the solution
shows a milky appearance, and it
should then be poured off and a fresh
quantity used if sufficient reduction has
not taken place. The operation should
be stopped a little short of the required
reduction, as there is a continuing
action during the subsequent washing,
which should be thorough.
576
Mercury Bleacher.
How is the mercury bleach for sulphide toning
prepared ? D, A. (London.)
Dissolve I oz. of mercury bichloride
in 16 oz. of hot water, and allow to cool
and settle. Decant the clear liquid, and
add 30 minims of hydrochloric acid.
The print must be quite free from hypo,
and must be thoroughly washed after
bleaching, before applying the sulphide.
Duplicating Negative.
I have a thin negative, full of detail, which I
wish to retain as it is. I require a much stronger
version of it. Is there any way by which I can
produce one ? E. M. C. (Cork.)
It can be done quite satisfactorily,
although you may have to make several
attempts before you get just what you '
want. Make a positive transparency on a
slow ordinary plate, just as a contact
lantern slide is made. From the positive
make a negative, in the same way, on
a similar plate. By adjusting exposure
and development in each case you can
secure just the strength and contrast
desired.
Tones.
When the tones of prints are referred to docs it
mean the gradations of light and dark, or the
colour of the image ? S. S. A. (Brixton.)
The word “ tone ” (singular) is often
used as a synonym for colour. Thus we
may say that a print has a brown tone,
a blue tone, and so on ; or that the tone
is warm or cold. We also say that we tone
a print by altering its colour. The
word “ tones ” (plural) is used to indicate
the gradations of the image from light
to dark, irrespective of the actual colour
of the print.
Prints for Reference.
In connection with an index for negatives I wish
to make a print from each one for reference.
What is the cheapest way of producing them ?
A. E. (Walsall.)
We cannot think of any cheaper
material than bromide or gaslight paper,
which need not be of the best quality.
As a further economy it would generally
answer the purpose to show only half
the subject, or to use a size of paper
smaller than the negative, e.g., 3fX2^
for |-plate.
Time of Fixing.
After developing and rinsing, how long should
prints be left in the fixing solution ?
C. B. (Lewisham.)
With a normal fresh hath and a
temperature of not less than 60 degrees
Fahr., approximate times are : gaslight,
5 minutes; chloro - bromide, 5-10
minutes ; bromide, 10-15 niinutes.
Matt Marks on Film.
What is the cause of the matt marks on the plain
side of the enclosed films ? How can they be
removed ? D. G. S. (Sevenoaks.)
The marks on your negatives are
caused by contact between the back of
the negative and the paper, and, with
a negative as thin as the one you send,
these marks will show in printing. The
only satisfactory remedy we have so
far been able to discover is to lay the
dry negative face down on a sheet of
glass and polish up the upper surface
with a piece of rag and Baskett’s Re¬
ducer.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Owing to the Christmas Holidays, the next
issue of “ THE AMATEUR PHOTO¬
GRAPHER ” (dated December 26th) must
be closed for press earlier than usual.
In accordance with the notice that
appeared last week, the latest date upon
which MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISE¬
MENTS could be accepted for the above
issue was
FIRST POST, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19th.
WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in “ The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

VoL. LXXVni. No. 2407.
The year that is fast drawing
to a close has been an
eventful and busy one in
the annals of amateur photography.
Progress in all phases of camera
work has been more definite than in
previous years. This is due to a great
extent to the perfection that has
been reached in modern materials.
It has clearly been a panchromatic
year, and a year in which the pre¬
cision miniature camera has asserted
itself as a universal instrument for
thousands of photographers. Where
in the past faults in amateur work
could in many cases be traced to the
apparatus and material used, now
only the faults of the amateur in
their use remain to be discovered
to explain indifferent results. All
this has been to the good, and the
quality of negative and print pro¬
duction has never been at a higher
level, as witness our exhibitions
and competitions. Glancing back
over the pages of " The A.P.” for
the past twelve months we may
be forgiven if we claim that this
paper has also done its bit in helping
and fostering the enthusiasm that
is making amateur photography the
best and most satisfying all-the-
year-round hobby in the world.
The Press Photographer is Born.
It is a long day since we found a
photographic meeting so hilarious
as the Royal Photographic Society
while it listened the other evening
to the life story of Mr.- James
Jarche, the Press photographer.
Mr. Jarche has been doing Press
photography since igog. His father
and grandfather were photographers
before him, he himself was born
near a “ barrel of hypo,” and some
of his earliest work was assisting
in police photographs of bodies
taken from the Thames near his
London Landscapes (No. 29).
A seasonable snapshot in Kensington
Gardens.
ancestral studios at Rotherhithe.
The result was that he grew up to
loathe photography ; his ideal was
Hackenschmidt, and indeed he be¬
came the world’s amateur middle-
■'veight wrestling champion — a superb
training for the rough and tumble
of Press photography. But photo¬
graphy would not let him go. His
mother gave him a camera for his
birthday, he took the camera into
Southwark Park, the camera took
some children at play, the Daily
Mirror took the picture, and Mr.
Jarche took half a guinea, and his
first step up the ladder which was
to give him first-rate opportunities of
‘‘ shooting ” royalty, murderers and
politicians.
The Miniature for Press Work.
The miniature camera, no doubt,
has many advantages for the Press
photographer, chiefly its unobtru¬
siveness, though whether it will oust
all other models in this field, as
Mr. Jarche believes, remains to
be seen. Mr. Jarche has some inter¬
esting stories to tell of how, called
upon to photograph prominent
people, the idea being that he
should make the set conventional
study, he has seized the occasion
to take a few more or less surrep¬
titious photographs with the minia¬
ture, and the people concerned have
preferred the results to the others.
The Speaker of the House of

The Call of the Diminutive.
The attraction of the Microscope
Exhibition, at the Westminster Cen¬
tral Hall, persisted right up to the
end. Going in on the last afternoon,
we found ourselves at the end of
the queue the front part of which
had a hundred eyes glued to a
hundred eyepieces. We have ima¬
gined ourselves waiting in queues to
see various celebrities, but never to
see the Bacillus anthrax in the
kidney magnified 336 times. What
is the spell which the microscope
exercises over those who have no
special interest in its applications or
subject-matter ? Surely it is just
the surprise of seeing things on a
different scale, either larger or
smaller, , than that to which we are
accustomed. We get the same de¬
light in watching the image in a
camera finder.
The News in Colour.
A journal published in Hollywood
which came into our hands the
other day predicts that very shortly
the news reel in mere black and
white will be a forgotten thing. It
will be colour, colour all the way.
Already some excellent essays in
this way have been started. Colour,
says the writer, can be shot on a
single system news-reel recording
outfit just as at present. Any news¬
reel camera-man can shoot three-
colour pictures. He adds that no
trouble of any kind will be experi¬
enced in splitting beams of light,
and that prints can be knocked out
as fast as in monochrome. “ Is not
that food for thought ? ” he asks.
No doubt, the more colour we can
get, the better ; and yet we wonder
whether colour will have quite the
popularity that is predicted for it.
There is something about .the black-
and-white rendering which fits the
presentation of news. It may be
just the effect of long association and
of acquaintance with the picture
page of the newspaper, but, except
in the case of elaborate pageants
and scenic effects, the eye, on looking
at the kind of spectacle which the
news-reel records, sees it as move¬
ment in black and white and is
largely oblivious of colour. Anyway,
whether in monochrome or colour,
the news-reel gains in popiilarity,
witness the queues outside the
pictrure houses which specialise in it.
Readers’ Problems
Selected queries qn topics of general interest to readers will be fully dealt with
on this page week by week. Other replies appear as usual on the last page.
Lantern Slide Frame.
As I often wish to make contact slides from parts of
\-plate negatives I have been trying to manage with a
\-plate frame fitted with a sheet of glass on which the
negative is laid. This does not answer. I think you have
suggested some form of special frame, but am not sure. Can
you help me ? G. E. C. {Liverpool.)
Certain frames are available commercially, but they
do not all permit of centring the part to be printed on the
lantern plate. Of those we have described and illustrated
from time to time that shown here is about the simplest,
and we doubt if anything quite like it is now on the market.
It can easily be made. The materials required are small
pieces of suitable wood, a piece of felt or other material,
and three brass springs.
The main part of the frame is a piece of seasoned wood,
say about 6x5 in., and about ^-in. thick, planed on both
sides. From the middle is cut a square opening, 3^ in. full.
The lantern plate lies in this, so that it should be cut to
allow the plate to go in and out easily, but with no unneces¬
sary play.
One side of the wood has a piece of smooth felt or other
suitable material glued on. The 3i-iu. square cut out of it
is to be used as described later.
Fig. A shows this felt-covered side with the negative
laid on it, and held in the required position by two springs,
which can be swung round on the screws as in the case^of
springs on a printing-frame. If you use film negatives
you must have a piece of clear glass to support them, and
this will be held in position by the springs.
You will see that by turning the frame over you can
drop the lantern plate into the square opening so that
it will be in contact with the negative.
It is now necessary to have a back to
keep the plate in close contact, and
shut out light from the back of the
plate.
This fitting is shown in section at C.
It is a square piece of wood, cut to be
an easy fit in the opening, and with
its face covered with the spare piece
of felt. Oh to the other face is
glued another piece of wood, rather
larger in size, so as to project a little
all round. When it is dropped into
the opening it should just rise a trifle
over the surface of the main frame. Fig. B shows the back
in position, and the swing pressure spring to secure close
contact.
The exact position of the negative can be decided in
full light, making allowance for appropriate margins on
the slide. The lantern plate can then be dropped into its
place in the dark-room, with the assurance that the image
will come just where it is required.
Incidentally, the frame can be used with equal facility
for making masked bromide or gaslight prints from part of
a larger negative, the masks used being cut out of pieces
of thin opaque paper 3J in. square, and laid on the negative.

C^ilms for the Miniature
^ CAMERA in WINTER
The following note may prove of value at the present time to the many users of
miniature cameras whose work shows a falling -off in quality for no apparent reason
The user of a miniature camera
will do well to take care
with regard to the choice of
a film for winter conditions out of
doors. Films for these cameras
differ considerably in respect of the
contrast that they give in the
resulting negatives.
The photographer who uses larger
sizes often makes his negatives of
greater contrast in order to secure
bright prints under these conditions.
The miniature camera user cannot
do this to any great extent, for the
resulting negatives may be too hard
for the enlarging process, unless a
very “ soft ” paper is employed.
Selection of Film.
The important point is, to select
a film for those subjects which are to
be taken under poor lighting condi¬
tions, which will produce negatives
of a little extra vigour without the
excessive contrast that is not re¬
quired.
Films by different makers offer a
means to produce negatives of just
the right type. There are some
which, while they give negatives of
ideal gradation for enlarging with the
brilliant lighting of summer, do not
give sufficient contrast for those
subjects which have to be photo^
graphed out of doors upon dull days.,,
There are other films which pro¬
duce just the extra that is neces¬
sary. This is not a matter of speed,
because films by the various makers
of approximately the same speed
differ in the matter of gradation.
Apart from this the film of lower
speed will give a negative of a little
extra “ pluck ” with a little longer
development to compensate for a
subject of low contrast.
Filters.
It is well known that the use of
a deep filter with panchromatic
material will allow of a much
clearer picture being secured when
the exposure is made upon a dull
or misty day. With super-rapid
panchromatic film, and a lens work¬
ing at f/3.5, it is possible to secure
results with a miniature camera with
ease which would be a difficult
matter with larger apparatus.
Even if a deep filter is not per¬
missible under such conditions the
use of one of medium depth will
make a surprising difference to the
result. We have had excellent re¬
sults using a lens aperture of f/3.5,
super-rapid pan. film, and an ex¬
posure of i/ioth of a second upon
dull, misty days, the lens being
screened by a yellow filter.
The miniature camera user can¬
not always foresee the result of the
use of a certain filter. There is the
advantage that films are cheap, and
exposures made rapidly one after
the other with the miniature camera
permit of the use of several different
filters upon the same subject, and
the best I'esult selected.
The photographer will do well
to keep careful note of the conditions
which have produced the best re¬
sult, so that there will be no doubt
upon a future occasion.
Actinic Quality of the Light.
A point that exposure meters do
not take into account, and also one
which may easily be overlooked, is
the increased sensitiveness of pan¬
chromatic films to red or yellow
light. Exposures made towards
the beginning or end of the day,
when the light is rich in red rays,
may be found to be over-exposed
when fast pan. plates or films are
used, and the negatives will prove to
be mysteriously fiat and dull.
Recently we were making some
exposures just before sunset, and
the negatives were over-exposed
through omitting to realise the
extreme sensitiveness of modern
panchromatic films to this lighting.
Those who rely upon exposure cal¬
culators will be well advised to take
the hint, and, under the conditions
named, to keep exposures at the
minimum.
Over-exposure is not desirable, and
it may be experienced under " the
conditions mentioned, and especially
when no filter is used on the lens.
Development.
Apart from the falling-off in
quality that may arise during the
dull days of winter due to the use
of an unsuitable film, a still more
important factor is the developer.
The worker who does his own
developing and employs a tank has
probably a favourite developer, and
continues to use this. If it is a
metol - hydroquinone formula — with
or without borax — a fall of tempera¬
ture will immediately affect the
quality of the negatives. With any
developer containing, hydroquinone
the temperature must be in the
neighbourhood of 65 degrees Fahr.
Test the Temperature .
Most frequently it will be found, on
testing the solution after developing,
to be 50 degrees or lower. In this
case the hydroquinone has become
inert and the development has been
continued with the other constituents
only. Negatives produced under
these conditions are generally lack¬
ing in gradation and appear fiat
and lifeless — quite different from
thin negatives of good tonal
gradation which enlarge perfectly.
It will be wise, therefore, unless steps
are taken to keep the temperature
of the developer constant and at the
right degree, to choose another
formula in which hydroquinone does
not play a part — such as Azol, Rytol,
Rodinal, etc., which are excellent
for the purpose ; but even with
these the temperature should not
be allowed to drop too low.

A Collection 0/ "A.P.” Pictures.
Our Picture
Pages
C. UPTON
COOKE.
WHEN you have read your cur¬
rent copy of " The A.P.”
what happens to it ? Being
a serious photographer and not a mere
button-presser, you make a critical
study of the pictures upon the art
pages, extract and docket all formulae
and information that are thought
likely to be of future use, and then,
usually, one of three things takes
place : The journal is either lost sight
of altogether, added to an accumula¬
tion of other copies, or else handed
over to some other person interested
in the practice of photography.
The first of these alternatives is the
course more generally adopted, until
the accumulation reaches a point
when the powers that really rule the
household call a halt and insist upon
a complete clearance of what they
invariably dub litter and lumber.
My own interest in photography
was caught at the early age of twelve,
but it was not until eight years later
that the pages of The 4^mateur Photo¬
grapher were first brought to my notice.
At about this time the introduction
of supplementary art pages in “ The
A.P.,” coupled with great advances
made in the half-tone process and
methods of printing, made the repro¬
ductions really valuable as records
of representative work and of the
photographic tendencies at the date
of issue.
From then on, that is to say from
1908 until the pre¬
sent day, I have
carefully detached
all full-page pic¬
tures for the pur¬
pose of such records
from “ The A.P.,”
and the other jour¬
nals that have since
been incorporated
with it.
A Handful of Aces,
A “One-Man'” Show.
For about two years these pages
were kept in the order of the date of
their publication. As their numbers
increased it became more and more
difficult to trace and handle any par¬
ticular picture wanted for reference.
It was therefore decided to file them
all in strict alphabetical order, not of
their titles, but of the names of their
respective producers.
This arrangement has proved en¬
tirely satisfactory. practice is to
allow the pages to accumulate to
about a couple of hundred or there¬
abouts, and then to utilise a wet
afternoon or evening in sorting and
" setting in ” the prints.
In sorting the prints great difficulty
was found, and a heap of experience
gained, in deciding which of two plates,
printed as so many of them are on
opposite sides of the same piece of
8

paper, should be chosen for the top,
or filing, position. When thought
necessary, cross references were made
and filed of pictures appearing upon
what we might call the reverse side of
the page ; these can then readily be
picked out if and when required.
When the number of any particular
photographer’s pictures reached six
or more they were abstracted from
the file and fastened together with
small wire paper-clips. These col¬
lections are also kept in alphabetical
order, and in most cases are faced
with such biographical pages as “ The
A.P.” from time to time supplies, as ,
for instance, the series entitled " The
Man and the Print.”
These “ One-Man Shows ” now total
eighty-six, and it is surprising to note
how comprehensive they are. Taking
a few of the sets, we find, for instance,
no less than thirty-five examples of
the work of Harold Cazneaux, thirty-
six of those of James McKissack, of
Alex. Keighley’s .pictures there are
fifty-one, and F. J. Mortimer is
represented by sixty-five.
The photograph “ A Handful of
Aces ” gives some idea of the represen¬
tative character of these sets. A
rough estimation of the number of
pictures shown in "A Collection of
' A.P.’ Pictures ” would be in the
neighbourhood of four thousand five
hundred. They make a pile, closely
packed one upon the other, fourteen
inches high.
It may be asked why all this trouble
has been taken, first in preserving and
then in arranging them. Assuming, as
most picture-lovers will, that their
possession is desirable, then the time
spent in placing them so that any
individual print, or set of prints, can
immediately be picked out for purposes
of examination, compari.son, or what
you will, is time very well spent.
The uses to which any Photographic
Society or Camera Club could put such
a collection, once made, are many.
Pinned upon the walls or screens of
the club-room, “One-Man Shows,”
as in the small set shown, are perhaps
the most obvious. Separate sets of
American, Australian, Japanese and
Continental works lend themselves
excellently to this purpose.
The most interesting use to which
I put them is in selecting a series
illustrative of some definite subject
or phase of photographic interest.
Subjects so dealt with have included
Zoo, Portraiture, Child Studies, Genre,
Seascapes, Nudes, Street Scenes, Ro¬
mantic Landscape, “ Stunt ” Pictures,
and Architecture, among many others.
Any one of these would provide a
full ev'ening’s entertainment.
PHOTOGRAPHIXC BENCH ENDS By F. J. YOUNG.
A particularly fine example of a
bench end is to be found in the choir
of Ripon Minster. This “ end ” is
crowned with a very realistic elephant
and castle, the elephant having a
victim between his front feet. Just
below is the figure of a centaur, armed
with a particularly villainous weapon,
a spiked ball attached by a chain to a
stout rod. The angels and the mitre
seem rather out of keeping with the
upper part of the design, and one
wonders what influences had been at
work on the mind of the craftsman !
In Christchurch Priory, near
Bournemouth, is to be found a much
more peaceful subject. At the end
of the north choir stalls, facing the
wonderful representation of the Stem
of Jesse situated above the high
altar, is a reproduction of the fruitful
vine, crowned with some grotesque
animal study. The carving is in
bold relief, very graceful, and well
repaying close attention.
Few visitors, having toiled up the
steep High Street at Clovelly, trouble
to go on to the peaceful parish church
not far distant. Here are bench ends
of quite another kind. A small, semi¬
circular shelf is attached low down to
the ends of several of the pews, and
give, a glimpse of the departed social
life of England. These were the seats
allotted to the apprentices, outside
the family pew. It must have entailed
considerable skill on the part of a
tired youth, overcome with sleep, to
maintain his position on his uncom¬
fortable perch.
As regards the actual photography it
is a great help to be able to use a
camera with a focussing screen, as the

subject is often a " tight fit,” and
care must be taken to secure the whole
of it. Further, with a focussing screen
it is possible to decide which is the
largest stop that will give satisfactory
definition, and so probably shorten
the necessary exposure considerably.
At Christchurch.
No particular type of plate or film
is required. The great point is to give
ample exposure, curtailing development
for contrasty examples, and increasing
it when the subject is on the flat side.

Passing
Clifford's Inn Hall, ij^oth sec.,flT-'^, S.S. pan. film, Alpha filter.
WITH the passing of the old year one is re¬
minded of the passing of more concrete
things that surround us. Their absence is
only realised when it is too late to make a
record with the camera. Waterloo Bridge has excited so
much attention recently that photographers are apt to
overlook the fact that many other famous landmarks
are disappearing from sight.
That beautiful old “ Wren ” church, for instance, All
Hallows’, Lombard Street, is condemned. Its founda¬
tions are Roman, and the crypt, containing genuine
Roman stonework in good preservation, is still accessible
to the public. But this state of
affairs may not remain for long.
“ The Old Lady of Thread-
needle Street ” is now no more
than a shell of her former self,
whilst, within the void, work
proceeds, and the work in itself
presents a picturesque spectacle
to the enthusiastic camera-man.
“ Big Ben,” another familiar
London character, has for some
time been seen “in splints.”
Photographs of Big Ben are
common, but it may be many a
long day before he looks again
as if he had been “ in the wars,”
as at present.
Perhaps the richest oppor- '
tunities for interesting camera¬
work will occur when the first
pickaxe is carried into Clifford’s

Much the same thing is happening in other towns
and cities throughout the land, but because of its extent
there is more to be seen in London. Every amateur

Winter Sunshine
Among the Trees
By H. W. ANGELL.
Trees and sunshine — subjects available to all of
us, and equally fascinating in winter as in summer.
Splendid pictures can be secured, and will have
added charms in the unusual effects obtained. There is the
lacework pattern of bare branches and twigs, with winter
sunshine throwing shadow's of these to form further patterns
at our feet. On some days mist and sunshine are present
together, making possible pictures of exquisite beauty.
Winter sunshine is brief, and only the middle hours of the

day are suitable for photography if the full effect of the
sunshine is to be obtained. Fortunately, modern transport
makes it easy for even the town-dweller to reach his subject
within a reasonable time and w'ithout much expense.
A tripod should be included with the apparatus carried,
as exposures are often too lengthy for the camera to be
held in the hand. Adequate exposure is essential if results
are to be satisfactory. Photographers using calculators
should remember that the trees in most cases cut .off a
considerable amount of the light, and allowance for this
must accordingly be made.
When it is desired to retain the effect of mist it is better
not to use a filter, but when expanses of sky are included
in the picture a K i or similar can be employed with
advantage. In this case pan. films or plates should be used,
but for general use films of the ’chrome type are excellent
for this work. Development, as usual, should not be carried
too far or the delicate tones will be destroyed, particularly
when the effect of sunshine and mist form an essential
part of the picture.

PRINTING eighty-four whole-plate
enlargements in a few hours is
an experience that the amateur
is not often called upon to undertake.
A short description of the method I
adopted for dealing with such a problem
may be of interest to other readers of
The Amateur Photographer, and' may
prove useful, should they ever find
themselves called upon to undertake
a similar big job, for it was a big job
to an amateur who does his work in a
darkened kitchen and with a home-made
enlarging easel.
A certain school near my home was
recently celebrating its 1 36th anniversary,
and the officials were very keen to have
a photograph of the assembled pupils.
The lighting conditions were not of
the best, but an Ilford Hyper-sensitive
plate, with an exposure of two seconds
(in daylight) at f/5.6, gave a perfect
negative. Those concerned were so.
pleased with the result that a sepia-
toned 15X12 enlargement was ordered
from one of the advertisers in The Ama¬
teur Photographer, and in an impulsive
moment I offered to do a few whole-
plate enlargements for any who would
like a 'copy. It was. suggested that a

charge of sixpence be made, the pro¬
ceeds to help to swell the school funds,
but it was rather a shock to find that
eighty-four people each wanted a copy.
As, at first, it seemed beyond my
powers 1 obtained an estimate from the
firm who made the 15 x12 in. enlarge¬
ment. The price worked out at eight-
pence per copy — a most reasonable
figure — but fifty-six shillings was rather
steep, in these hard times ! Then the
advertisement columns of The Amateur
Photographer revealed the fact that a
gross of whole-plate sheets of bromide
paper could be bought for nine shillings.
The work was therefore undertaken
at home, gallantly assisted by my wife,
for it was soon very evident that it was
a " two-man ” job. With a 60-watt
lamp, enlarger aperture f/8 and an ex¬
posure of twenty seconds, the enlarge¬
ment was just right, and in two evenings
the eighty- four enlargements were print¬
ed. The manipulation of the easel and
paper was my job, and my assistant
controlled the enlarger and yellow lamp
switches and timed the exposures.
Then came the developing. Johnson’s
M.Q. packet developer was used and it
took four of their threepenny packets,
which made 40 oz. of solution. This
means that 10 oz. developed twenty-one
whole-plate prints, which sounds exces¬
sive, but there was no sign of deteriora¬
tion in the colour of the prints.
The developing dish and packet of
undeveloped enlargements occupied one
end of a long table, in the centre was
a large bowl with clean water for the
intermediate rinse between developing
and fixing, and at the opposite end of
the table were two 10x8 in. dishes of
acid-hypo.
Each print took exactly ninety seconds
to develop fully, with the M.Q. at 70°,
The first enlargement was developed and
rinsed and placed in hypo bath No. i
face downwards. Print No. 2 was
developed, etc., and placed in hypo bath
No. I, face downwards, and the first
print turned face upwards. At the end
of five minutes prints i and 2 were
transferred to hypo dish No. 2, and
prints 3 and 4 placed back to back in
dish No. I ; at the end of ten minutes the
first two prints were transferred to
another large bowl for their final wash.
In this way the prints were never
touched by me after developing and
rinsing them in water, the whole of the
fixing and washing being done by the
second worker. The eighty-four enlarge¬
ments were developed in two nights of
two and a half hours each, and the
job finished, with two sighs of relief.
The total cost, apart from the time
taken, was seven shillings, and the school
funds benefited to the extent of forty-
two shillings. It is realised that the
price of sixpence per print was much too
low, and the writer feels that the work
savoured rather of " black-legging.”
No doubt another time the work will
be done by a local firm of photographers.
The e.xperience gained was very
valuable, and what might have been a
“ nightmare ” to one worker became
simply a matter of routine when handled
b}’ two people. The washing was con¬
siderably simplified by having two large
bowls and constantly changing prints
from one to the other, the water being in¬
troduced into the bottoms of the bowls by
means of a short length of rubber tubing.
.Altogether an interesting job, but not
one to be tackled very often.

All Eafsily Constructed Dark-room Lamp
By H. COSTELLO. for Electric Light
WHEN developing bromide prints
it is difficult to determine the
point at which the desired
depth of colour is reached unless a good
yellow light is available. With a ruby-
coloured light, the tones look much
darker than they will appear in a
white light, and this makes it difficult
to judge the best time to remove the
print from the developer.
The lamp described here deals effec¬
tively with the question of a bright yet
safe yellow light for bromide and gas¬
light printing, and may also readily be
adapted to provide a ruby light for the
development of plates and films.
The necessary material for its con¬
struction, if not already to be found in
the household " spare parts box,” can
be purchased at the sixpenny stores.
The items are, one small size lampholder
with shade-locking ring, one plug, a
suitable length of insulated ” twin ”
wire, and one ‘‘ candle ” lamp of suitable
voltage, this being, as will be seen from
the illustration, the type of lamp used
to simulate a candle flame. This type,
being but an inch in diameter over all,
fits readily into the smaller jar.
The other requirements are a 2-lb.
glass jam-jar and a screw-top jar with
straight sides, such as is used for
honey, together with a tin-lid that will
approximately fit the first-mentioned
jar.
First bore a three-quarter inch hole
in the centre of each lid with a brace and
bit. Then clean the ends of the wire and
fit them respectively by means of the
set screws into the plug and lamp¬
holder. Next fix the two lids together
by placing the smaller lid inside the
larger and fastening them together by
the shade ring on the lamp-holder. The
candle-lamp can now be placed in the
holder and the honey-jar screwed into
position.
If the larger lid is not a perfect fit to
the outer jar, a length of adhesive tape
wound round the neck of the jar will
make it light-tight. A strip of black
paper about ij in. wide should then be
Seccotined ” in position round the
top of the jar, an ela-stic band holding
it in position until the glue is set. All
that is now required is sufficient crystals
of bichromate of potash — two penny¬
worth is ample — to make a saturated
solution. This is poured into the outer
jar until, when the smaller jar with lamp
is placed in position, the liquid rises
to the black binding and cuts off the
white light.
There need be no anxiety regarding
e.xpansion or spilling if only just enough
solution is used to reach just above the
edge of the paper. It will be found that
the outer jar and its contents do not
even begin to become warm to the touch
until the lamp has been in use for some
two hours at least. When developing
plates or films (non-panchromatic) a
loose cylinder of ruby fabric, obtainable
from any photographic supplier, may
be slipped over the outer jar and held
in place with an elastic band.

A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHIC TEACHER.

WORKER
For a long stretch of years there were no initials at
the end of photographic articles so familiar as
those of R. C. B. They were, of course, the
initials of Roger Child Bayley, whom we have so
recently and unexpectedly lost.
While he was editor of Photography he took the bold
course of enlarging the paper and raising the price from
a penny to threepence. It happened that the very first
article in the new issue of the paper (January, 1903) was
one of my own ; and although R. C. B. had previously
printed articles of mine, and given me a good many
medals, it was this particular contribution which gave
him the idea of my writing the “ Piffle ” page, which ran
uninterruptedly for twenty-five years.
Till 1903 we had been merely names to each other ;
from that date we became close and intimate friends.
As he was once good enough to say, it was a friendship
without a single cloud. To be candid, there certainly
was one point on which I never agreed with him, and
that was his use of the semi-colon ! If he could only
write again he might put a semi-colon after every word
without comment from me.
He was a particularly sound and lucid mentor for all
photographers. He knew just what they wanted ;
or perhaps I should rather say he knew just what was
good for them, and saw to it that they got it in full
measure. He was singularly patient with beginners,
for whom he wrote series after series of lessons, which,
in my opinion, were inimitable.
Large numbers of these lessons, and much of his other
writings, were done in the open air. He deeply loved a
garden. The one in which you see him sitting was at
his cottage in Essendon. In one corner was a bed in
which a thousand tulips grew every spring, and his
rose trees were counted in hundreds. He is sitting just
outside the veranda under which he wrote. I have
seen him turn out sheet after sheet in that minute and
fastidious penmanship which seemed so strange for a
man of his build.
The other print shows part of the back of his house at
Little Berkhampstead. You may recoUect some other
illustrations I used of the same place some time ago,
without saying where they were. I thought you would
like to see them because they are significant of the
character of one who loved beautiful things.
At the middle of 1925 R. C. B. ceased to be editor of
“ The A.P.,” and his last editorial lesson was on “ Mak¬
ing Clean Negatives.” But he probably had some more
lessons written in advance — he was a perfect Titan at
work — for lessons continued to appear each week
until the end of September, when his initials
1 4
586
December 26th, 1934
appeared for the last time at the end of an article on
“ Exposure.”
Other hands produced lessons for beginners, one
series under the heading of “ The Novice,” and another
of ‘‘ The Snapshotter.” Then in July, 1929, I began the
present series — not logically consecutive and methodical,
as R. C. B.’s were, but rambling and irresponsible, as I
foretold they would be.
Many beginners are unaware that they can still have
the benefit of R. C. B.’s teaching. Based on the lessons
is his book, ” Photography Made Easy.” I am not
advertising it, but giving a most valuable hint.
Of course. Child Bayley wrote for others besides
beginners, although his ” Hand Cameras ” and the
out-of-print “Enlarging” were mainly for their beneht.
But undoubtedly his greatest photographic book was
“ The Complete Photographer.” I was talking the
other day to a photographic friend — a front-rank pic-
torialist — who told me that when he began he had no
other guidance for years besides this book. I can quite
understand it, for I consider this the most perfect book
of its kind ever written.
It is in this book that we find some very happy
touches of humour, and R. C. B. was both witty and
[The amateur PHOTOGRAPHER
! 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER q
humorous. But I do not recall anything of the sort in
his practical articles, in which he was always intent on
making everything clear. He could be rather caustic
on occasion, but never so in the case of the humble
seeker after knowledge. This was always shown when
he was dealing with the hundreds of questions that
reached him. He would spend any amount of time
in finding out exactly what the questioner’s trouble was,
and then in a quiet, patient manner he would make
the trouble vanish for ever.
It was for the bombastic and the self-conceited that
he reserved his irony ; to the puzzled beginner he was
all kindness and wisdom. That is why I feel that the
beginner, above all, lost a great photographic teacher
and friend when he laid down his pen. His knowledge
was great ; his desire to guide and help was still greater.
I knew him better than most. I have been, as it were,
behind the scenes with him, and I know the work he
did, and its value. “ He was my friend, faithful and
just to me.” Often he was more generous than just.
For I am one of the thousands of those whom he helped,
advised and encouraged ; and I shall always remember
him, as we all should, not only with gratitude but with
affection. VV. L. F. W.
CUT-OUT MOUNTS R. M. FANSTONE
Fashions in the mounting of
photographic prints change from
time to time, but, although less
in use than formerly, there is much
to be said in favour of the cut-out
opening with the print supported
upon another mount behind, the
whole forming one mount. Provided
that the ' mounting is neatly done,
this method can be most effective.
The " cut-out ’’ style of mounting
has certain practical advantages. These
are especially marked in the case of
exhibition prints, particularly if they
are bromoils. The surface of the print
is given additional protection by
reason of the fact that the mount
rises above it, and there is less risk
of damage in transit.
The print, which need not be
trimmed, is attached by the edges only,
so that remounting, if necessary, is
an easy matter. It may be that if
the outer mount becomes soiled, this
can be renewed without the need to
remount the print. Another advantage
of this is that when lightweight
mounting materials are used, the
prints do not cockle.
There are excellent mounting
materials available for the purpose.
Whatman papers are very effective,
but are also expensive. There are
the grades of papers used by printers
for the better class of programmes
and book covers, some having very
attractive surfaces suggestive of hand¬
made papers. These are supplied in
large sheets at a very low cost.
This style of mounting needs to be
neatly done, but provided that a little
care is exercised no difficulty will be
experienced. The materials are few.
A drawing-board of a size larger than
the largest mount. This should be
covered with ten or twelve thicknesses
of newspaper to provide a good
cutting surface. This paper should be
attached to the board at the corners
with drawing-pins. The other re¬
quirements are a steel rule for a
cutting guide, a set-square, and a
print-trimming knife. Failing the
latter, a good sharp penknife, or one
of the several patent holders for
utilising discarded safety-razor blades,
will be found excellent.
The first step is to mark very lightly
in pencil the exact position of the
cut-out opening. The best way of
doing this is to pin the mount to the
drawing-board, and with the aid of
the set-square to mark out the opening.
This opening must be slightly srpaller
than the area of the picture it is
desired to show. Care needs to be
exercised in order to ensure that the
opening is square, and all corners
rectangular. The opening should have
equal margins at top and sides but
more at the bottom.
In cutting the opening, the guide,
which should be of thin metal, should
be laid on the mount, and pressed
firmly down. The cut should begin
at the corner of the rectangle, and
the cutting knife pressed into the
mount. It is then drawn firmly but
slowly along the line to be cut, great
care being taken not to allow the cut
to go beyond the edge of the next
rectangle. The other sections should
be cut in the same manner, and if
properly done the section will fall
out, when the mount is unpinned
from the board. If it is found that
at any part the cut is not complete,
a careful re-cut with the straight-edge
will put the matter right.
The outer edges should then be
trimmed up, and another piece of
the same mounting stock cut to form
the back of the mount. If desired
the final trimming may be done after
the mount has been assembled.
The print may be fixed to the inner
section of the mount in a previously
marked position by attaching with a
good mounting paste at the edges.
Another method is that of attaching
the print at the edges by means of
passe-partout binding, or the thin
adhesive paper used for the repair
of music will serve. This is an excel¬
lent means of attaching the print,
especially if it is thought that it may
be necessary to transfer the print to
another mount at some future time,
when it is an easy matter to cut
through or detach the retaining
strips.
The two sections of the mount may
be attached to each other by coating
the edges with mountant. It is a
good plan to place the print under
pressure until the adhesive is quite
dry.

Methods and Ideals of well-known Pictorial Workers.
From information communicated to our Special Representative.
I HAVE always been very fond of pictures, and in my
youthful days I spent a considerable time in painting
in oil and water-colour. How I drifted into photo¬
graphy I do not know, but I found it so fascinating that it
soon weaned me from my first love, and I have never
regretted it.
" As regards my photographic aims, I am one of the old
type — very conservative in my methods. All my outdoor
work is done with a small reflex, or a 3-I X Sibyl of the
S. Choir Aisle, Norwich. J. Ludlam.
original model ; but for interior work I use a stand, and
generally the Sibyl, this having a very good rising front
for the size of the plate. When I want detail in architecture I
resort to a quarter-plate Sanderson, and use a telephoto lens.
“ My preference in plates is for anti-screen or self-
screened ortho. I have tried soft gradation panchromatic
plates, but in my hands they do not give the gradation I
require. They may be very good plates for highly-coloured
objects, but in general outdoor work we do not often meet
with such. There is generally that all-pervading grey
which softens down all crudeness of colour.
“ I keep no account of details of exposure, but always
make notes regarding the contrasts in the subject, so that
I know how to work with my developer, which has always
been pyro-soda. I use the ‘British Journal’ formula, which
keeps the negatives a uniform colour.
“ For lantern-slide work I like a full-graded negative,
with no bare glass ; one that will give a good print on
P.O.P. I have no use for an under-exposed negative at
all, and for enlarging purposes I like to develop the negative
soft, with full gradation.
“ The bromide paper I prefer is one with a natural surface,
which gives just sufficient sheen to preserve the foreground
shadows, and keep them more transparent. I eschew all
blackleading and oil rags, and pavement-artists’ tricks,
and aim at an all-photographic result. All the prints I
have ever shown are straight work. The only deviation
from this is judicious spotting, and working out small
blemishes ; and also careful shading of parts during ex¬
posure, which is essential and therefore cannot be avoided.
If photographers paid a httle more careful consideration
in developing their negatives they would save themselves
a tremendous amount of after-work on their prints, and
give themselves more satisfaction.
“ To get the exposure for the enlargement I always resort
to the time-honoured method of exposing a strip of paper
on the average density of the negative, giving varied ex¬
posures by shading with a piece of cardboard. I then
develop it right out, so that it will go no farther. It is
easy to see which strip has had the exposure which will
give the best result. There is always a quality about a
print which has been developed to the full, which other
prints lack.
‘ ‘ When we come to the aesthetic side of photography, stunts
do not appeal to me ; I want something true to life. Yet
a print may violate all the rules of composition and still
be attractive and give one pleasure to see, and remind one
of the pleasant time one had, and the happy days spent with
the camera ; and that alone is sufficient to justify the time
and trouble taken in producing it.”

Some Crmcal Commente »" "« “
That the value of including an
appropriate sky in a picture is
not wholly unappreciated is
■demonstrated in the collection of
prints reproduced on the opposite
page, for, in every case, not only is
there a definite degree of tone, but,
in most of them, the rendering of
•cloud forms is decidedly promising.
Skies and the Picture.
In the case of No. i, “The Shores
of Loch Katrine,” by Miss Vera E.
Higgins, the effect is particularly
good. There is a fine feeling of lumi¬
nosity, mainly attributable to the
concentration of light towards the
horizon, and a very real sense of a
recession of planes, as much in the sky
as in the landscape. l
This is by no means easy to achieve,
but, aided by an accurate estimation
of the exposure required and suitable
after-treatment, it has been secured
in this instance. There is no sign
of over-exposure of the sky, and none
of under-exposure in the landscape.
Even with the most colour-sensitive of
emulsions, there must always be
something in the nature of a compro¬
mise between these two factors, and,
with those that are less sensitive in
this respect and are much more
commonly used, the need for an
accurate adjustment of the two is
more than ever necessary.
A frontal lighting, or one that has
its source to the rear of the viewer, is
of considerable assistance, but, never¬
theless, there is still need for care, and,
in this particular case, the rendering
is helped, to some extent, by the
diffused character of the illumination.
It is quite a good piece of work,
although, incidentally, a slightly more
distant viewpoint would have been
advantageous, as it would have en¬
abled the base and top of the near
tree to be included.
Against the Light.
In subjects of the sunset type,
which, necessarily, are seen against
the light, it is much more difficult
to ensure an effective compromise.
Not only is the sky relatively
lighter, but, as a general rule, the
landscape does not receive by any
means the same proportion of the
illumination. Moreover, being indirect
or reflected, its photographic value is
disproportionately ineffective, so that,
if the exposure is short enough to
avoid over-exposure of the sky, it
is almost inevitably inadequate for
the landscape.
It is on this account that the render¬
ing of the landscape is so dark — a
concomitant of under-exposure — in
Nos. 2 and 3, “ Sunset,” by S. M.
Elton, and the print bearing the same
title by Miss G. O. Taylor. The sky
is satisfactorily rendered in both cases,
but the landscape is not. It might be
argued that, with the main interest
in the sky, the landscape is unimpor¬
tant ; but, while there is a certain
amount of truth in the contention, it
can scarcely be extended so far as to
justify a foreground of practically
solid black, for neither is such a
rendering compatible with what the
visual impression would be, nor is it
acceptable from a photographic or
artistic point of view.
On the other hand, as long as the
ordinary run of emulsions is employed,
no compromise can be really effective,
for directly the exposure is increased
to provide a better rendering of the
landscape, the sky becomes over- .
exposed ; and, if there be little loss
in gradation in the sky portion of the ■
negativ'e, it is impossible to print to
a proper depth without some dodging
about.
Control and Effect.
This means masking the landscape
while allowing the sky to register, and,
in effect, amounts to controlling the
result. Judiciously employed, there
can be no objection to the expedient
as long as it does not become apparent,
but it is not the same thing as getting
the effect by purely photographic
means.
Better straightforward renderings
can be obtained by the use of panchro¬
matic emulsions, suitably screened.
Even with these, there has to be
something in the nature of a com¬
promise, particularly if the landscape
be dark in tone ; but, all the same, the
representations they provide are so
superior to those given by ordinary
emulsions that, if this sort of subject
is essayed, they should be employed
whenever possible. It may be "as well
to mention, however, that care in the
choice of the landscape to accompany
skies of this type will do much to avoid
the marked incongruity between skies
and landscapes such as is shown in
these two instances, whatever the class
of plate or film in use ; and, if the
landscape be light in tone, subsequent
treatment is greatly facilitated.
Local Colour.
If the local colour of the landscape
be fairly bright, the chances of a
proper rendering are higher, a fact
which is exemplified in Nos. 5 and 6,
A Somerset Bay,” by D. Kallenborn,
and “ Sunlight and Shadow,” by
\V. H. S. Berry.
The former shows a more veracious
rendering of the tone values of the
landscape section than the latter ; but,
in both, some gradation is visible, and,
though the foregrounds are too dark,
they are not so dark as to pass the
bounds of credibility. At the same
time, it must be admitted that there
is not quite the same quality in the
way the tones of the sky are displayed
as there was in the skies of the prints
previously discussed, the finer distinc¬
tions between lights and the brighter
lights within them being missing.
Viewed in the light of a compromise,
either could be taken as acceptable,
but Nos. 4 and 7, “ Glen Nevis,” by
M. O. Sheffield, and " A Stormy Even¬
ing,” by G. L. Mallett, where the
subjects are helped considerably by
the lighter tones of the landscapes,
attain a somewhat higher level.
Choice of Material.
The presentation of the effect in
the sky is enhanced by a careful
choice of the material for the land¬
scape. Consequently the tones of both
are more fully recorded than in any
of the other examples, except, perhaps.
No. I.
They do, nevertheless, fall short of
what would have been possible had
the more fully corrected panchromatic
emulsions been employed in conjunc¬
tion with, a light filter of appropriate
characteristics, and, particularly in
the case of a scene like “ Glen Nevis,”
the improvement that could be
achieved would have to be seen to
be believed. A trial, whenever such a
, subject presents itself again, is recom¬
mended, and the slight extra trouble
needful in after-treatment will be
found to be well repaid.

Victorial Analysis
Every week one of the pictures reproduced on an art page will be analysed in detail for the
benefit of readers of the paper who are seeking to improve their pictorial work.
CALIFORNIA WINE,” hy Shimsaku Iziimi.
Apart from its convivial sug¬
gestions, which are by no
means inappropriate at this
season, this picture is interesting as
an example of a class of work that
can be attempted throughout the
year, either by daylight or artificial
illumination, and one that might
particularly well be tried during the
winter, when conditions out
of doors are not inviting.
Form and Arrangement.
The fact that any form of
lighting may be employed
makes it a suitable pastime at
all times, and, if the short
hours of daylight during the
winter are found a bar, it
can be carried on under
electric or any other form
of artificial illumination.
In point of fact, the power
of control which artificial
lighting affords renders it
preferable, and, as its power
is constant, exposure diffi¬
culties, once the question has
been determined by experi¬
ment, need not arise, pro¬
vided, of course, the elements
remain the same and the
distance from light to subject
is always equivalent. A like
power of control extends to
the arrangement of the sub¬
ject material, and even if we
have no especial flair for
still-life and indoor work,
there is but little doubt
that the necessity for actually
building up the composition
can and will prove useful
when other work in which we
are really interested comes to be
dealt with.
It is true that there is a great
difference between the making of a
composition and choosing a subject
as it exists, but it is no less a fact
that the experience gained in the
first directidn ejiables the points of an
existing subject to be quickly assessed
and the most favourable point of view
to be adopted instinctively.
Construction and Arrangement.
■ From this standpoint alone, still-
• ife has a justification, even though it
may not be practised for its own sake.
Nevertheless, it has its adherents,
and, as in this instance, they are able
to make pictures that compel our
admiration.
Nor is the work as easy as, at first
glance, it might seem. It may sound
a more simple thing to make up a
subject, use what lighting we fancy.
and then take it, than to choose, for
instance, a landscape scene ; but, in
actual practice, it will be found that
there is not much difference between
the two. It is, more or less, a differ¬
ence in the method of approach.
With an outdoor subject, selection
determines both arrangement and
motive, and, with still-life, arrangement
and motive form the commencement.
A single object may suggest an
idea, ’and, developing that idea, the
accessories may seem to come of
themselves, or it is possible that a
fortuitous glance at a collection of
elements will invite expression in the
form of a picture. A chance arrange¬
ment of breakfast things has, in the
past, provided the subject matter for
a successful study, and like examples
might be quoted indefinitely. Sup¬
posing, however, we take it that the
first conception, here, arose from a
choice of the wine flask (i), the glass,
corkscrew and tray would
naturally suggest themselves
as appropriate subordinate
elements, and experiments
would have to be made to
see how best they could be
combined.
The flask, in all probability,
would be placed in a fixed
position and studied from
various angles. It is more
or less symmetrical in shape,
but there are the handles and
a label which suggest the
possibility of avoiding too
great- an approach to for¬
mality. How these should
be disposed would then be
tentatively arranged — the
idea being to allow for altera¬
tion, if required, later on
when the arrangement has
taken shape — and, after that,
the tray (2) would probably
be tried in alternative posi¬
tions till its lines seemed to
harmonise with those of the
flask. Then, the wine gHss
(3) would be added, and,
subsequently, the corkscrew
(4) , the whole then being
viewed on the focussing screen
to determine how much or
how little to include.
Adjustment in Stages.
With each addition, however, some
adjustment would be called for in
those elements already placed until the
arrangement became more complete.
The composition would be built up
in stages, and, when apparently com¬
plete, further adjustments might be
found desirable following upon the
final arrangement of the lighting.
The possible variations are infinite,
but that a most pleasing one has been
chosen is conclusively shown by
the undoubted attraction the picture
exhibits. “ Mentor.”

to the Editor
The Editor is not responsible for
the opinions of his correspondents.
THE MINIATURE CAMERA.
Sir, — Mr. Burr’s complaint of bad definition interests me, as
I consider that the lens is the last thing to blame for this
trouble.
I have produced negatives of perfect definition with lenses
varying in cost from half a crown to £g los., and in size from
35-mm. to J-plate. I have also produced many specimens of
thoroughly bad definition with the same lenses. Ninety per
cent of the failures are, in my opinion, due to camera movement,
especially when using a camera at eye-level. Another cause is
that the film does not lie dead flat in the camera. This is of
little moment when using a small aperture, but at f/4.5 it
becomes of vital importance. A third cause of bad definition on
distant subjects is due to a strange idea on the part of the
camera-maker. Some manufacturers so arrange matters that
the infinity catch comes into operation at 30 to 40 feet instead
of at the true infinity position. I have found this defect, for
so I term it, in one of the most expensive cameras on the market.
As regards the miniature camera, I think the time has come
for a little " de-bunking.” I have .used a 24 X 36 mm. camera
for a year and am still enthusiastic about it, but does anyone
really believe that a whole-plate enlargement from such a
camera is in any way better than one from a 2|- X 3T negative ?
The only real advantage I can see is that one may use a lens
of an aperture that, in a larger camera, would bring a more or
less polite communication from one’s bank manager.
And yet hundreds of amateurs are persuaded that the pos¬
session of an expensive miniature means the end of all their
troubles, and a constant stream of perfect enlargements. I
firmly believe that until a man has learned to produce a really
good whole-plate picture with a camera costing £3 or so, it is
not much use purchasing an expensive instrument, miniature
or otherwise. Heresy again, 1 am afraid, but heresy in hobbies
pays handsomely. — Yours, etc., H. BRAITH WAITE.
FINE-GRAIN FILMS.
Sir, — With reference to the letter from Mr. W. H. Clarkson
in your issue for December 5th, wherein he pleads for fine-
grain film packs, may I point out that Kodak Panatomic film
packs are now available in at least two sizes — namely, V.P.
and 3iX2j. I purchased my first one over a week ago, and,
in common with your correspondent, feel they supply a long-
felt need. — Yours, etc., C. H. W. KEY.
ANASTIGMAT LENS.
Sir, — I deeply regret that Mr. H. S. Burdett has been
misled by my previous letter, but I must reassure him that
the explanation put forward was not erroneous. Possibly the
last sentence in that letter was misleading, but actually it was
introduced to show that although no two points in the plane
of the plate are equidistant from the lens, the plane of the
plate remains always at a constant distance from the plane of
the lens. Another fact remains ; if a camera is focussed on
a plane, containing, say, two objects, then the actual distances
from the lens of the two images formed vary as the actual
distances of the objects. Anyone conversant with plane
geometry can prove the truth of the latter statement from the
similar triangles embraced by the field of view of the camera
lens.
I attempted in my letter to illustrate just the distance
between the planes of the subject and the lens which decides
where the image will be. Mr. Burdett still supposes we must
consider that the corner of the wall, when we focus upon it,
is " farther away ” than the centre. If this distance is measured
with two pins and a piece of cotton this, no doubt, is true,
but I should not have thought that Mr. Burdett would have
been troubled by this obvious fallacy.
I apologise to other readers who may have been misled by
my letter. — Yours etc- K. M. BEVINS.
DEVELOPING TANKS.
Sir, — I have read with interest the correspondence on the
above subject. I have used Kodak roll-film developing tanks
since they were first brought out, which must be something
like thirty-five years ago.
I cannot recollect ever having the emulsion side of the film
give trouble from touching the apron when using Kodak film.
Where I have had this trouble I think I have tracked it down
to the indifferent quality of the adhesive paper at the ends of
some makes of film.
It is essential that the film should be firml3^ attached to the
backing paper at both ends, and remain attached until the
emulsion side is thoroughly wet and limp.
If the adhesive paper is porous and the adhesive weak it
slips before the film has become limp and lost its “ curl.”
It must be remembered that the film is rolled up in the apron
with its curl in the opposite direction to the curl it has acquired
on its spool, and until it is limp the only thing that keeps it from
trying to resume its original curl and touching the wrong side
of the apron is the pull of the two adhesive end papers.
Owing to the film and its backing paper being rolled up the
reverse way in the apron the portion of the backing paper
between the two stuck-down ends of the film is slightly shorter
than the film and all the tension comes on the adhesive papers.
For this reason the adhesive quality of the end papers is
more important than the tension recommended by some of
your correspondents.
I always regarded the dimples on the apron as a mistake.
In the earlier smooth apron the backing-paper and the back
of the film itself remained nearly dry. The pressure of the
water was all on the emulsion side pressing the film more firmly
against the backing paper and apron and the curl in the desired
direction was assisted by the convex surface of the film being
wet and the concave dry.
Obstinate adhesion of the backing paper to the back of the
film I have only experienced with a foreign panchromatic film
I use ; but as it is not provided with adhesive paper to stick
down the free end it is obviously not intended for use in this
type of tank, and the fault was mine for attempting to do so.
—Yours, etc., G. T. BIRKS.
CAMERA PRICES.
Sir, — I was interested in the letter from Mr. A. Nation
which appears in " The A.P.” of October 24th. But his re¬
marks about the miniature camera are so extraordinary that
they detract from the value attaching to his opinions on other
matters. He says, " A miniature I would never buy, as I
think they are but a passing craze.”
It is a pity that anyone who has not owned a miniature
camera should condemn them. I have worked with many
cameras, and am now the delighted possessor of a twenty-five-
pound miniature of German origin. I consider it remarkably
cheap at the price, by far the best camera I have ever had,
and the easiest to work. When the initial cost is paid, the
" running costs ” are very much lower than any other. In
fact, it is not too much to say that, at the end of two years,
I shall have more than saved its price in the low running costs.
Moreover, I have never had so few failures, for though I am
by no means an expert, it is a common thing to get all thirty-six
exposures " printable.” I develop the films in a Correx tank
(another splendid and remarkably cheap invention) and I do
my own enlarging. And, not allowing anything for depre¬
ciation, a half-plate enlargement (negative, bromide paper
and chemicals) costs less than three-halfpence. I have no
need for any other camera, for my miniature does nearly every¬
thing they can do, and a great many things they can’t do,
and it does everything better and cheaper. There is one
question I should like to ask Mr. A. Nation. Using the materials
he mentions in his letter, has he ever entered any of his photo¬
graphs in an exhibition and had them accepted ? — Yours,
etc., A. T. WALLIS.

]\TEWS AND REVIEWS
X 1 ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM ALL QUARTERS.
An exhibition of outstanding interest
will be opened in London at the Royal
Water Colour Society’s Gallery, 5a,
Pall Mall East, S.W.i, on January 8th,
and remain open until January 25th,
It is being given by E, Leitz, the makers
of the Leica Camera, and will be entirely
of enlargements from negatives made bv
that popular little instrument. The
notable point in regard to this exhibition is
that all the pictures are by one man — Dr.
Paul Wolff, of Frankfurt, and they are
all direct untouched enlargements, mea¬
suring about 30x20. We have already
seen a number of these (there are 220
of them) and can say that while many
are pictorial masterpieces they are all
of magnificent technical quality. The
catalogue will give full data regarding
the production of each print. It will
be on sale during the exhibition at six¬
pence, and the proceeds will be devoted
to the George E. Brown Memorial Fund.
“ Zirca ” Flashpowder is a new
introduction by the firm of Johnson
and Sons, already famous for their series
of flashpowders. Our tests with the
new product show that the makers’
claims for it are well substantiated. It
not only gives a remarkable flash of
high actinic value and quickness, but
the amount of smoke .that remains even
after two or three successive flashes is
practically negligible. For these reasons
the " Zirca ” powder should be ideal
for the Press photographer and the
amateur worker at home. It can be
fired in any open flashlamp or by means
of the touch-paper supplied with it. It
is put up in cartons containing two
bottles of powder Which have to be
mixed before use. The mixed flash-
powder keeps well, but should be retained
in a well-corked bottle. A leaflet of
instructions is issued with it which gives
full directions for use and approximate
amounts for different subjects, plates,
films, and lens apertures. Readers wish¬
ing to try flashlight photography cannot
do better than write to Messrs. Johnson
for full particulars. The address is
Hendon Way, Hendon, N.W.4.
The new edition of " The American
Annual of Photography” has just come
to hand. It is again edited by Frank
R. Fraprie, editor of our contemporary
“ American Photography,” and is well
up to the standard set in previous years.
A larger number of page illustrations
admirably reproduced are included, and
the total bulk of the volume is greater
than before. The articles are both
numerous and informative, and cover
a considerable range of practical sub¬
jects. A directory of ” American Photo¬
graphic Societies,” a "Who’s Who ”
in Pictorial Photography, and an
" American Formulary,” render the book
of great use for reference purposes.
It is supplied in this country by
Sands Hunter & Co., 37, Bedford Street,
Strand, W.C., 8s. 6d. paper covers,
I2S. 6d. cloth bound.
We have had an opportunity of
inspecting the " Hollywood Rolla ”
Screen which has recently been put on
the market by The Camera Company, of
320, Vauxhall Bridge Road, S.W.i.
This screen 'is specially intended for
amateur cine work, but can of course
be used for ordinary lantern-slide pro¬
jection. It has a remarkably brilliant
surface, and is very ingeniously made to
roll up automatically into its carrying-
case. It can be opened or closed in a
second or two, and when closed is well
protected against dust, etc.
It is made in all sizes, and
is inexpensive for this class
of screen. The 32x24 silver surface,
for instance, is £1 ys. 6d., or glass-
beaded £3 ] 40 x 30 silver is £2 2s.,
glass beaded £3 i8s. 6d. ; 52x40 silver
£3 17s. 6d., glass beaded £6, A postcard
to the above address will bring further
particulars.

“ Let’s Show Our Movies !
5 > By
R. H. ALDER.
An eminent statistician has com¬
puted that if all the handbooks
lost by ultimate owners were
placed end to end they would stretch a
dickens of a long way.
The essential to a successful projection
night is to find the handbook and to
follow its advice. A major overhaul is
needed only once a season, but driving
belts should be examined, the gate
cleaned and the feed and take-up
mechanism checked over before, and
not during, each performance.
Badly kinked fle.x may blow a fuse —
it is not in the best taste to leave your
guests in darkness while you grope about
the cellar with a candle.
Showmanship.
Films are next examined, weak
sprocket holes patched, dirty films
cleaned, faulty joins cut out and re¬
spliced. Brittle films can be steamed
very lightly to restore flexibility by
rewinding quickly through the jet from
the spout of a kettle — hut how much
better to have kept them in proper tins !
Having taken these ordinary pre¬
cautions against scorn, we can set out
to win praise. Showmanship is an art
very like that of editing — it consists
mostly of eliminating dull moments.
What seems dull after brightness may
itself seem bright when seen alone.
For this reason the programme is
arranged so that the poorer pictures
(both technically and artistically) come
at the beginning.
Increasing Interest.
There is a rhythm in programme
building. We cannot expect an audience
to maintain intense attention all the
time, so our points of interest must be
distributed in ascending scale through
the evening. The climax comes to¬
wards the end, to be followed by a short
comedy that releases the accumulated
tension.
Although interest is built up in waves
it is never relaxed to the degree where
it is ost. Arrangements, therefore, are
made for smooth, rapid, but unhurried
presentation. Distractions of all kinds
are eliminated so that the audience is
held throughout.
There is nothing so distracting as a
flickering coal fire ; an opaque fire¬
screen is highly desirable. Even at
night windows are heavily curtained to
avoid flashes from passing cars.
Shifting furniture about always causes
disturbance. It is an enormous ad¬
vantage if the guests can be received
in one room and conducted to the
already arranged " theatre,” just before
the performance begins. If one room
only is available the order of removal
of the table and of placing the chairs
should be planned in detail to avoid
confusion.
Aunt Tabitha’s old bones like a well-
cushioned chair at the front ; all
children, except little girls in party
frocks, prefer a rug near the screen.
Hide “ the Works.”
The screen is covered by curtains with
a pelmet at the top ; cords and weights,
released by an e.xtemporised trigger,
draw the curtains as the first title
appears. Frequently the window cur¬
tains can be used, the screen being
mounted with a black surround on the
window itself.
A silver screen is inclined downwards-
as if it were a mirror reflecting light
from the projector to the centre of the
auditorium. Many a good show has
been spoilt because the operator, stand¬
ing up at the back, had the brightest
view.
The projector is set up beforehand
at such a height that the tallest head
will not throw a shadow. It is kept
hidden in an ” operating roorn ” formed
of two tall screens ; if anyone is in¬
terested in the machinery he can see it
after the show, not before. The spools
are set out conveniently in an open
rack.
The position of the projector is such
that the operator has ready manipula¬
tion of all lighting. Few of us rise to
dimmers, but the main room light can
usually be controlled by a bed-switch
extension as sold for travellers’ use.
A twenty-watt lamp, well shaded in a
cocoa tin, is arranged to illuminate only
the projector table and the gramophone
turntable.
The gramophone is a necessary ad¬
junct ; unless the ear is drugged with
appropriate rhythmic sounds it is
Now is the time to secure good action pictures of flying gulls in the Parks. The
amateur cinematographer ivill find the light ample in the mornings, and plenty of '
material for attractive films.

irritated by the whirr of the projector.
The music, however, need not ise too
insistent — it is not necessary to drown
the cries of your victims.
Musical Continuity.
Records carefully chosen to fit the
mood of the screen action can add
materially to the, emotional effect.
Here the electric gramophone with a
volume control is an asset, for it is
possible to fade out half-way through
a record to make a change.
A change of records should not
coincide with the changing of spools. A
valuable function of music is to form a
counterpoint which maintains continuity
in the programme as a whole. It can
be brought up to full volume when the
screen is emptv and faded down again
when the ne.vt picture starts.
Catching Attention.
An effective introduction is some
bold music, such as " The Doges’ March ”
from the “ Merchant of Venice ” suite,
while the room lights are still up. Near
the end of the record the lights are
switched off and the projector started
so that the record is changed on the
first set of credit titles.
Towards the end of the programme
something cheerful, such as Holst’s
“ Fantasy on the Dargason,” before
bringing up the lights and coming out
of the operating room to receive the
compliments of your friends.
When all this has been planned, have
a rehearsal against the stop-watch.
Nothing is more upsetting to a good
programme than an awkward pause
due, perhaps, to a record unexpectedly
running out while the film is being
changed. The slickness of the theatre
is not a matter of expensive accessories,
it is got by trying out careful arrange¬
ments and sticking to them.
Watch Results.
When the great night comes, if you
have any time to spare — few consci¬
entious operators have ! — do not look
at the pictures save for an occasional
glance to see that they are still in focus.
Watch the audience. Their attitudes
will tell you how successful your
work is.
and Shadows P. H. BRAITHWAITE.
Lighting
The average beginner in cinemato¬
graphy probably gives little
thought to pictorial composition
in his initial efforts, but experience
soon teaches him that with most sub¬
jects there is one point of view which
is more pleasing than another. He
will also learn that it is to his advantage
to select his shots only where subjects
are correctly proportioned in relation
to lighting and shadows.
Correct lighting should give both
form and roundness to the picture,
making the principal object stand out
boldly. This can be achieved provided
the light has a good proportion of
contrasty shadows.
Without shadows, all objects having
form appear flat, and it becomes
necessary, therefore, to often “ film
across the light ” to give that object
sufficient form to impart reahsm and
consequent interest. Pleasing results
can also be achieved by arranging
for the principal subjects to move in
and out of shadows.
With lighting coming from a fixed
source, as with the sun, the camera
must be correctly placed in a position
which allows of sufficient shadings
being registered in relation to the
subject being filmed. If the sun is
too high in the heavens to cast any side
shadows, filming should be postponed
until the sun’s position has altered.
Light coming from a point to the
right or left of the camera gives ideal
shadings. If the sun is in the west,
the camera can be pointed N.E. or
S.E. to enable both lighting and
shadows being correctly registered.
lighting, which comes from directly
behind the camera should be avoided,
as from this position objects will appear
flat, having no shadows and therefore
devoid of relief.
Where heavy shadows occur, these
must be allowed for in exposure,
otherwise the screened film will be
found to be lacking in half-tones, having
no graduation. Moving pictures, rely¬
ing solely upon their portrayal ,of
action, demand considerable differen¬
tiation of the actual moving object
from the background.
Light striking the principal character
or object at an angle of approximately
forty-five degrees, both from the
horizontal point of view and also in
relation to the direction of the camera
lens, will bring it out in relief from
the background. The object should,
of course, be in the plane of sharpest
focus. By so doing, the progress of the
story is much easier followed on the
screen, and interest maintained.

“The A.P.” Monthly Competitions
AWARDS FOR NOVEMBER.
All three classes of the competition for November
again reached a high standard of excellence.
This is particularly the case in the Advanced
Workers’ section. The number of entries also was
considerably above the average, and if the same quality
is sustained in the New Year serious consideration
must be given to the suggestion made by several
readers for the formation of yet another class. At
present the standard of Class i is as high as the Hon.
Mention class of a year or so ago, and we congratulate
our readers on the general excellence of their work
throughout. The awards are as follows : —

fill AMATEUR mOTOORAPHER
t;, 6 CINEMATOGRAPHER a
%)eaders Questions
^ ANSWERED
Gemerau.— All rommnnirations for the Editor should be addressed : " The Editor, The Amateur Photographer
and Cinematot^raphcr, Dorset House, Stamford Street, London, S.E.i,'" and in every case, without exception, miis^
gi\e the name and address of the writer.
Contributions. — The Editor is glad to consider original, up-to-date manuscripts on photographic subjec^ts.
All contributions must be type^\Titten, or in very legible handwriting on one side of the paper only. Letters or
communications arising out of matters already appearing in the paper are net paid for. The Editor disclaims
legal responsibility for the safety of matter submitted to him, but he will endeavour to return rejected manuscripts,
etc., when a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed. MSS. or j’rints that are not actually accompanied by a
stamped wrapper or envelope can in no case be returned. Reproduction fees for prints are only paid by arrange¬
ment beforehand. The sending of a print, without any condition stated, will be taken as permission to reproduce
it without fee.
Enquiries and Criticism. — Advice, Criticism and Information are freely given, but the following conditions
should be read carefully before applying, as any communication which does neft comply with the rules must be
ignored.
(i) See “ General ” above. (2) Every question and every print for criticism must be sent separately through the
post, and must be accompanied by a separate stamped addressed envelope. No exception can be made in any case
to this rule, except so far as enquiries or prints from Overseas are concerned. {3) Neither enquiries nor prints for
criticism must be enclosed with competition prints. (4) On the back of each print sent for criticism, in addition
to the name and address of the sender, must be the title (if any), and the criticism coupon from the current iss\ie.
(5) Enquiries should be clearly written, on one side of the paper only, and should be specific and not general. Such
enquiries as “ How can I take interiors ? " or “ Can you give me some hints on outdoor portraiture ? ” are too
general to be dealt with in this section. (6) .All envelopes should be distinctly marked “ Query ” or “ Criticism,”
as the case may be. (7) Prints are sent for advice or criticism on the distinct understanding that by so doing per¬
mission is given for their reproduction without fee. We endeavour to deal promptly with enquiries, but cannot
undertake to answer by return of post, nor can we give precedence to any enquiry.
-A selection of those replies is printed each week, but all questions are answered by post. Enquiries from abroad
must contain a coupon also, but it need not be from the current number, and should be cut trom the latest issue
to reach the enquirer.
Cine “ Frames.”
In the three principal sizes of cine films is it a fact
that the proportion of the ‘‘ frame,” or actual
picture space, is not the same for all ?
W. E. E. (Ipswich.)
It is not the same. The most marked
difference is in the 9.5-mm. film, in which
no space at the sides is occupied by
perforations. The percentage of space
occupied by the frame has been calculated
at 65, 69 and 82 for 35-mm., tb-mm.,
and 9.5-mm. widths, respectively.
Varnishing Labels.
What is a suitable varnish for protecting labels
on bottles ? F. O. (Dundee.)
We know of nothing better than a
couple of coats of celluloid varnish,
applied with a soft brush, and going
just beyond the edges of the label.
The first coat must be quite hard before
the second is applied.
Colour Photography.
Can you put me on the track of a cheap, practical
book on the subject of colour photography ?
It must not be " abstruse.” E. L. (Whitstable.)
We think that the book most likely
to fill your specification is " Colour
Photography,” by Frank R. Nevvens,
published by Blackie & Son, at 4s. 6d.
net. It was compiled only about three
years ago, so that it is more up-to-date
than some of the “ standard ” text¬
books on the subject.
Differential Focussing.
What is the idea behind the expression “ differ¬
ential focussing ” ? W. M. M. (Monmouth.)
In some prints, especially those re¬
sulting from the use of a short-focus lens,
or a small stop, the definition is sharp
everywhere. In others, everything is
more or less diffused, as in a pinhole
photograph ; nothing is bitingly sharp.
Thirdly, there are the photographs in
which certain planes are sharp while
others are less so. As a rule, the de¬
finition of the nearer objects is sharpest.
This differential definition is secured by
focussing on the nearer objects, and not
using such a small stop that the distance
would be sharpened up also.
Slow Snaps.
At this time of the year it is necessary to give
longer exposures than in summer ; what is the
slowest speed that can be safely given with the
camera in the hands ? S. E. (Harlow.)
There is no definite answer to your
question. Much depends on the size
and weight of the camera ; more on •
the type of shutter, and the way in
which it is fired ; and most on the
photographer. Some photographers can
manage a full second ; others are
uncertain at i/ioth. It is perhaps
unnecessary to remind you that when
circumstances suggest a rather long
exposure the use of a tripod is almost
always practicable, and certainly de¬
sirable.
Pinacryptol Green.
I have been given a gramme of pinacryptol
green, but am at a loss how to make a solution
of the required weakness. Will vou tell me the
procedure? t. B. (Hull.)
The working solution is made from a
stronger stock solution. Dissolve your
crystals in 17 oz. of warm water, filter,
and put into an opaque bottle. For use
take oz. of this and 10 oz. of water.
Black Margins.
How does one get black borders on prints b.y
cutting away the gelatine from the plate ?
W. R. (Jersey.)
Apparently you are using glass nega¬
tives, and in that case you can print
black borders by cutting away the
gelatine from the edges of the negative.
By means of a steel rule and a sharp
knife you make a thin cut through the
600
December 26th, 1934
gelatine near the edge. The gelatine left
between this cut and the edge is then
scraped away carefully. If you make
arrangements for exposing the whole of
the plate you will get a black edge, which
can be afterwards trimmed down to a
narrow width. With films the blank
edges can be trimmed off and the film
sandwiched between clear glasses so as
to leave a space all round it.
Glazing.
Can you tell me what is the cause of prints sticking
to glass when rolled on for glazing ? I have
tried several ways of cleaning the glass.
S. H. (Gosport.)
You must understand, first of all, that
the glass on which you put the prints
must be absolutely clean and highly
polished. You should then, after the
final washing, put the prints for three
or four minutes in formalin solution,
one part of commercial formalin to nine
or ten of water. This hardens the prints,
and if you transfer them straight from
the solution to the glass they should
come off easily when dry.
Toning Cine Films.
I wish to try my hand at toning short lengths of
cine film to a warmer colour. What method do
you suggest ? A. Y. (Deptford.)
We do not think you can do better
than to try Ferguson's copper toning,
as this gives a range of tones and prac¬
tically leaves the density unaltered.
Make up two solutions :
A. Copper sulphate . . 7 grs.
Potassium citrate . . 28 grs.
Water . . . . . . 30 oz.
B. Potassium ferricyanide 6 grs.
Potassium citrate . . 28 grs.
Water . . . . . . 30 oz.
Take A, one part ; B, one part ; water,
two parts. As soon as the colour
becomes warm enough, wash thoroughly.
Aerograph.
Having tried local dealers without success, can
you tell me where I could buy an .\erograph, and
give me an idea of the price ? H. M. F. (Perth.)
You are not likely to get an aerograph
from local dealers. The makers are the
Aerograph Co., Ltd., 43, Holborn Via¬
duct, London, E.C.i. The prices vary
considerably, according to style and
equipment.
Stops.
I have a camera with a Bausch & Lomb lens, and
the stops are marked, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128.
.Are these f/ numbers ? R. D. (Penge.)
The stop numbers on your lens are
according to the Universal System, and
are 8, ii, 16, 22, 32 and 64 respectively.
Action of Developers.
What is the chief developing property between a
pyro-soda and metol-hydroqiiinone developer ?
L. B. (Exmouth.)
We are at a loss to grasp the meaning
of your question. Although pyro-soda
and metol-hydroquinone act in a some¬
what different way, the result is the
same. The action reduces a certain
proportion of the exposed silver salts to
the metallic state, and in a general way
there is nothing to show whether a
negative has been developed with one
reagent or another.

The “Retina” Is so economical. It gives you 36 pan¬

per picture. You can “shoot” freely with the “Retina” —
and so multiply your opportunities for getting fine pictures.
You can take the “Retina” with you everywhere — it
measures only by 3 by 1^ inches — and snap up the sudden

WARNING
We have received many complaints from our
readers in regard to the business methods of
Mr. R. L. Green, trading as R. L. Green’s Photo¬
graphic Exchange, of 218, Fore Street, Edmonton,
London, N.18.
For some considerable time we have refused to
insert his advertisements in ” The Amateur Photo¬
grapher and Cinematographer,” and from the
complaints we have received it would appear that
his practice is to communicate with private
advertisers having goods for sale, offering to take
such goods in exchange for others, or to purchase
for cash. Readers are advised to ignore all such
offers from this quarter.

HAND
CAMERAS
By R. Child Bayley
An outstanding feature of this
book, -which makes a special
appeal to all amateur photo¬
graphers, is a number of separately
printed plates, all from hand camera
negatives by the author. These are
selected to show the very wide range
of subjects accessible to the shap-
shotter, from pure landscape to
tele-photographic portraiture.
Though primarily written for the
beginner, ” Hand Cameras ” con¬
tains much of interest to the ad¬
vanced worker, and should be in the
working Iil->rary of all who would
attain to the highe.st degree of
artistic excellence in their worl,.
