FEBRUARY 6, 1885.j THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 91 a short distance from a good gas burner, will be found to be sufficient with a good clear negative. If the negative, however, is stained yellow, like some which are developed with pyro, then the exposure must be increased very considerably, comparatively a great deal more than a practical printer would allow for silver albumenized paper. On prints taken on this paper a great variety of colours can be produced ; public taste or fashion, as hitherto, will possibly be in favour of warm photographic tints. To produce warm tones, a long exposure is absolutely neces sary, increasing the above exposures to about thirty seconds to daylight, or three minutes to gaslight, or, what is very con venient, about two inches of magnesium ribbon, burnt at one foot distance from the negative. I have designed a convenient arrangement for exposure of the negative. A printing frame is placed in the carrier, and ex ¬ posed to the light of a gas burner kept at a fixed distance, behind which is a spherical reflector. The same frame may be used for other purposes, to which 1 need not refer more particu larly at this moment. (Tobe continued.') HOW TO TAKE AIM WITH THE CAMERA. BY J. HAY TAYLOR. Fnoar the fact that various amateurs who visit Florida appear to put themselves to an unnecessary amount of trouble in getting their camera directed to the object that is to form the centre piece of their picture, I conclude that a certain number of land scapists, especially those who aim at taking instantaneous shots at passing objects, may not. have studied the subject from the mechanical point of view. When one is using a square camera, it is well to know that by placing the eye at any of the four corners next to him, and looking along the edge, the object which is seen in that line of vision will, if the exposing trigger be pulled when it is in sight, be eventually found to be in the centre of the negative. Suppose such an object to be a yacht careening over the waves, a seaside or lakeside village, a hamlet, or solitary house, or even a pedestrian toiling along the road, by “ taking a sight ” at this along either edge of a square camera, that object will be infallibly found to be in the centre of the plate upon developing the nega tive. When the lens is under the operation of a snap or other quick-acting shutter, actuated by a trigger, it is unwise to employ a stand, as the photograph can much better be taken when the camera is held in the hand.—Photographic Times. Oorrespondente. BEARD’S CAMERA CLIP. Sir,—The moment I saw this clip, when the model was produced by Mr. Beard at the meeting of the Photo graphic Society of Great Britain, 1 was convinced that the device was the very one that I had been wishing for ever since I commenced the practice of taking photographs not only from the tricycle, but generally ; and now that I have been able to secure one, and have tried it, nothing would induce me to be without one again. By the aid of the clip, the tripod, which has always been an abomination to me, and to others as well, I fancy, can almost entirely be dispensed with, not only by the ’cyclist, but by every photographer, no matter how or where he may pursue his avocations. The first point about the clip is the clamp. This has a range of some four or five inches, so that it can be attached to anything, from a hedge-stake to a five-barred gate ; from a wire fence to the bulwarks of a ship; from the car of a balloon to the turret of a ruined castle ; from a bough of a tree to the framework of a tricycle ora window-sill, or the rail of an omnibus. In short, it is almost as varied in its prehensile scope as is a monkey’s tail. When screwed home the clamp holds the whole clip and the camera as firm as the main structure to which it is attached, the parts being exceptionally strong and rigid, and the binding screw very powerful. Projecting from the body of the clamp are two points, one at the top, and the second at the end of the clamp. This enables the top piece carrying the camera to be attached when the clamp is secured to the attachment supporting it, either vertically or horizontally. I am not very well posted in the technicalities of mechanics, and perhaps the term “ points ” hardly expresses the nature of the arrangement. They are really “studs” with a groove half way, and upon these studs the upper portion of the clip is socketed. A binding screw keeps the socket firm, and by loosening this screw the whole affair with the camera can be turned round to any point of the compass. Immediately below the base support, which takes the place of the ordinary tripod head, is yet another adjust ment, which works fore and aft, and enables the camera to be pointed lower or higher, just as may be desired—either to the moon, or down to the ground. In short, the whole affair is admirably contrived, and, being made so strong, is absolutely rigid, and is, moreover, simplicity itself in its adaptation to circumstances. The camera screw, so often astray when wanted, is kept permanently ready in the base-board by means of a washer, and all that has to be done is to screw the screw into the hole in the base-board. In practice, however, 1 shall keep the upper portion of the clip fixed to the camera, and the lower, or clamp portion, screwed in position on the handle bar of my “ Carver ” tricycle, and all that will have to be done when a view comes in sight will be to take the camera from the carrying case, place the socket upon one of the studs, and tighten the binding screw; focus will be then taken, and the plate exposed. The process will then be reversed, and the journey pursued. A view will thus be taken in a very few seconds; or, if the “view ’’ cannot be secured from the road, the whole clip will, by a turn of the thumb-screw, be released from the tricycle handle bar, and carried to, and attached, to the gate, or the fence, or the post, or the wall, as the case may be. I am glad to learn that Mr. Beard, acting upon the advice of his friends, has taken steps to protect his idea, as such a piece of ingenuity certainly gives its producer every ground for seeking to secure some tangible recom pense. Mr. Beard is a fellow-member of the Photographic Society of Great Britain, and his address is No. 90, Fort Road, Bermondsey, S.E. Henry Smith. [Mr. Beard applied for a patent on the 27th of last month (see page 73). No claim he may have made in this can in any way protect the apparatus already described by him at the meeting of the Photographic Society, and figured in our columns (page 17). —Ed.
