574 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [September 7, 1883. ’cyclist—I mean, say, twenty or thirty miles a day ? W hat tricycle would you recommend, and what would it cost ? Any information will be highly valued by Only an Amateur. [There have been many articles on photography and the bicycle in our pages, if not tricycle. Personally we have no experience, but we have no doubt some of our readers will kindly give “ Only an Amateur ” the advice he requires.—Ed. P.N.] BALLOON PHOTOGRAPHY. DEAR Sts,—I now send you, as promised, three photo graphic records of the aerial voyage of the “ Sunbeam ” on the7thult. The exposures were all made while sailing in mid-air at varying altitudes, and, as I have already informed you, the conditions of light were unfavourable in consequence of the absence of sunlight and the lateness of the hour. The view taken over Bexley at 2,750 feet altitude comes out best, and in this, besides the roads and houses, the various crop fields can be seen ; and in about the centre of the picture, close alongside some lawn-tennis grounds, the distinct and individual rows of root crops in a single field can be readily distinguished, as well as several tall trees overhanging the roadway in this locality. It is a most curious coincidence that this was the only view which I found it impossible to locate on the maps afterwards, and after about three hours’ search given it up as a bad job. Last Tuesday I happened to goto the Crystal Palace to see Mr. Wright’s balloons ascend, and, being somewhat unexpectedly allotted a seat in the car of the “ Gem,” was taken straight over the very place depicted in the photograph, which I happened to have in my pocket. (P.S.—I never had such a knocking about on coming down as on this occasion ; hat knocked off as the car went bungling along on its side for an unpleasantly long distance before a strong gust of wind, now leaping into the air some twenty or thirty feet high, and wildly tugging the grapnel over the ground, and then bumping down on the earth again. Not sorry my camera was not in the car on this occasion, as its fate would have been somewhat doubtful.) The other view of Bexley, taken from a little higher altitude, I almost hesitate to send, as I don’t think anything of it. The Blackheath view shows the groundsof Magdalen College, as well as numerous roads, houses, and winding footpaths of curious interest. I would recommend the use of a magnifying glass for examination of these photographs. Wehaveanotherascent fixed for Wednesday, at about 5.80, from the Rosherville Gardens at Gravesend, but the present condition of the weather is, to say the lea't of it, “somewhat unfavourable” for ballooning.—Dear sir, yours very truly, Beechcroft, chislehurst, 3rd Sept. Cecil V. Shadbolt. [Mr. Shad bolt sends us three interesting map-like sketches, in all of which may be traced roads and villa residences of certain portions of Bexley and Blackheath. Balloon photo graphs we can hardly expect to have so sharp and bright as pictures taken on terra firma, but Mr. Shadbolt’s pluck and perseverance as an aerial photographer are certainly giving us some novel and important results.—En. P.N.] PERMANENT SILVER PRINTING. Dear Sir,—It seems, from the experience of Mr. Bruce and others, that we have been working on the wrong track, and turning out faded photographs by the bushel, when we might as well have turned out permanent prints at a little extra cost for material. For my own part, I have been sick of albumenized paper 3 long time ; in fact, it has been a nightmare to me ever since we commenced to take soft negatives, and to me warmly toned photos have shown a decided proneness to fade quickly. So long as we took the harsh black-and-white negatives, and toned to a blue tone, they stood pretty well ; but when we went in for soft deli cate negatives and warm tones, then they quickly began to show signs of decay. Now, if all this could have been avoided by using collodio-chloride paper, what a boon it would have been, both to photographers and the public! It is never too late to mend, and I should be glad to try col lodio-chloride, and see if it really is permanent. But to be really secure, the paper should be free from albumen in every form. What I mean is, that an albumen substratum should not be used. If the paper requires any preparation to keep the collodio-chloride on the surface, and to prevent a sunk-in appearance, something like arrowroot should be used. I am confident that albumen in any form would be ruinous, even when used on opal as a substratum ; the pic tures fade very soon, even if done by the old collodion pro cess. Albumen, in my opinion, is the bane of photographic permanence, and should be banished at once.—I am, dear sir, yours &c., “ An Old Photo.” THE BRUSSELS EXHIBITION. Dear Sib,—Could you inform me when the medals will be presented to the successful exhibitors?—Faithfully yours, A Medallist. [The honorary secretary, M. Gruzet, will doubtless inform us, as soon as the date is fixed.—Ed. P.N.] Proceedings Jfff Societies. North STAFFORDSIIRE Photographic Association. The ordinary monthly meeting of this Society was held at the Town Hall, Hanley, on Thursday, August 30th, Mr. Chas. Alfieri, Vice-President, occupying the chair. There was a good attendance of members, and the Vice- President, in addressing them, remarked upon the loss the Society had sustained by the death of Mr. John Lockett, one of its most intelligent and persevering members. He had known Mr. Lockett a great number of years, and had found him a man who, although knowing something of almost every science, and well versed in several languages, was modest and retiring. He had been an enthusiastic experimental photographer ever since the discovery of the collodion process ; and by his decease the Society would lose one of its most useful members. On the proposition of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. F. J. Emery, the Hon Secretary was desired to send a letter to the friends of the late Mr. Lockett, expressing sympathy with them, and deep regret at their loss. The Chairman, reporting upon the last excursion of the Society to Ashbourne and Dovedale, announced that in conformity with a resolution passed at the last meeting, some of the members and other friends who were invited made an excursion as pre arranged. The party assembled’at Stoke Station at 8 a.m., and reached Ashbourne at 9.45. After looking about the town, they partook of an excellent luncheon at the “ Green Man” Hotel, and then proceeded to Dovedale per waggonette. Arrived there, cameras and sketching materials were soon unpacked, and the members busily employed. Some of them took dry gelatine plates, whilst he used his old “ Camera Campestra,” or field camera, made by himself for wet plates, and consisting of camera, dark-room, and chemical chest combined, occupying no more space than some of the members’ dry-plate apparatus, as some of them admitted. The party, having secured a number of excellent negatives, walked to the “ Izaak Walton ” Hotel, and there did justice to an excellent tea, after which they were driven to Ashbourne j ust in time to catch the last train for home. The weather throughout the day was very propitious, and a more beautiful light could not have been had. At the Chairman’s request, the negatives and prints resulting from the excursion were passed round, and remarks were made upon the excellence of the wet plate pictures taken by the Chairman. The gelatine plate workers had also been very successful. It was resolved that mounted prints be shown at the next meeting, and that a half-day excursion be made to Trentham or Tutbury, on Saturday, Sept. 8 th ; also, that ladies and friends be invited to join the party, so as to make it as great—or, if possible, a greater—success than the last excursion. Mr. Allison proposed, and Mr. Hall seconded, that the Chairman be asked to contribute a paper at the next meeting.
