April 17, 1891.] June 25th, « Cameras and their Management in the Field,’ E. H. Jaques ; July 23rd, Conversation Meeting and Exhibi tion of Survey Photographs ; Aug. 27th, Development Com petition ; Sept. 24th, “ Lantern Slide Making,” S. H. Fry. Mr. J. T. MoUsLEY (excursion committee) read the list of excursions for the year. The Chairman remarked that he was glad to see that the excursion committee had arranged for many of the outings to interesting spots in the Hundred of Hemlingford, which would greatly help the Survey Section in that important work. Mr. Howson, in the course of remarks on alpha paper, said that with it different tones could be obtained, which was a great advantage and help, in many cases, to enhance the artistic value of a photograph, as one was able to give special tone to any separate subject by different exposure, different length of toning, &e., and also pictures might be made of uniform tone under varied forms of development, &c. After fully des cribing the process, Mr. Howson gave a practical demonstration of the mode of work, producing the varied tones by different ways of manipulation. He then showed the exposure and development of the Ilford special lantern slide plate, giving four distinct exposures from the same negative, and, by deve lopment in same developing solution, obtained exactly the same result, thus showing great latitude in development and exposure. Hackney PHOTOGRAPHIC Society. . A meeting was held on Thursday last, Mr. J. Hubert in the chair. This being an evening set apart for “ Hand-Camera Work,” by Mr. Walter D. Welford, some hand-cameras were shown, among them being the “ Radial,” which was explained by Mr. Dickenson, and the “Repeater,” shown by Mr. Cusworth. Mr. Gosling showed his, a home-made one with dark backs. Mr. WELFORD preferred to illustrate the uses of a hand camera by means of the lantern. Nearly 200 slides were put through illustrative of various branches of photography, such as architecture, marine, detective work, &e., and were humor ously described by Mr. W el ford. The slides shown were good. HOLBORN Camera Club. At the meeting at the Club rooms on Friday last, the presi dent, Mr. T. C. Hepworth, in the ch.ir, Mr. J. Traill Taylor read his promised paper on " Art in Relation to Photography.” He commenced his observations by saying that he did not intend to give a formal lecture, but an informal talk. Painters, he said, would always have the pull of photographers because they could, like the bee, sip their honey in the shape of subjects from all sources, and could afterwards, at their leisure, and at home, select those which they preferred and bend them to their purpose, and eliminate others which they did not want. Photographers, on the other hand, had to take nature as it came, and had to be content with what they saw before them, and, considering how they were handicapped in this respect, he considered it very wonderful that with regard to composition, they succeeded in holding their own as well as they did. We must remember that photography is an art as well as a science, and that there are certain received canons of art which must be observed. Painters have been so well grounded in these that they are apt to turn upon the poor photographer for the slightest fault which may be looked upon as an infringement of those canons. In photography the first thing to learn is about the tools which were employed, but, assuming that this elementary knowledge had been already acquired by the membersof theClub, he would not dwell upon that phase of photography, but would proceed to make a few general remarks upon the composition of pictures, and would illustrate his words by a number of photo graphs—agreatmany of which he had broughtas examplesof what to avoid. After a few words with regard to the importance of placing the horizon at aheight regulated by thesubject, he showed examples in which attention to this point had been disregarded. Straight lines, repetition of forms, and other common faults, also came under review. The posing of single figures, the redundance of accessories, and over-elaboration of dress, in 311 causing the eye to stray from what ought to be the principal point of a portrait; the face, the posing of groups—illustrated by some very amusing examples -formed another section of the discourse. In connection with these groups, Mr. Taylor again referred to the very uncomplimentary remarks common to painters when criticising photographs, and showed some examples of a well-known painter’s photographs, which were certainly open to censure as specimens of composition. A short discussion followed, and the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to Mr. Taylor for his kindness in reading such an interesting paper. Putney Amateur Photographic Society. April Sth.—Rev. L. Macdona in the chair. A set of “ American ” slides were exhibited to members and friends. Thoseof the ruins of Johnstown were of special interest. It was suggested that, had particulars as to plate and developer used, &c., been given in each case, instead of the maker’s name, it would have been of greater interest to photographers on this side. The ingenious method of packing was also commented upon. Brixton and Clapham Camera Club. At the meeting held on the 9 th inst., Dr. Reynolds occupied the chair. Mr. Bevins gave a lecture on “ Light,” illustrating his remarks by diagrams and experiments with the Club lantern, and giving instructions for testing the safety of glass for dark room lamps by means of a prism. The annual Club exhibition of members’ work will be held at Gresham Hall, Brixton, this and to-morrow evening. Lantern shows will be held each evening, and a concert will be given on Saturday. Richmond Amateur Photographic Society. Friday, the 10th inst., was a lantern night for the exhibition of a series of American slides, and for deciding the slide com petition. Mr. Horrigan presided. The American slides were first shown, after which voting on the competition slides took place. Each competitor was required to submit one contact slide from each of three negatives supplied for the purpose by Mr. Cembrano, and the result of the voting was to place Mr. Ardaseer first and Mr. Garrett second, while Messrs. Davis and Ford tied for third place. The Society was indebted to Mr. Cembrano for the loan of his lantern. North Middlesex Photographic Society. April 13th.—Mr. J. W. Marchant in the chair. Mr. Birt Acres, on the subject of “Monochromatic Rendering of Colours by Photography,” said that it naturally divided itself into two portions, the historical and the practical. He gave a chronological resumi of the growth of photography in general, and of the researches into colour-sensitive dyes for the photographic plate in particular. The great mass of photographic workers, unless their attention had been specially directed to the subject, had little knowledge of the slow and laborious manner in which the science had been built up. The properties of lenses had been known as early as 420 b. c., a lens having been found in the ruins of Nineveh. From mediaeval times till to-day, there had been an ever- increasing army of workers adding to the store of general knowledge. He instanced Roger Bacon, Baptista Porta, Kircher, Newton, Wedgwood, Humphrey Davy, Nicephore Niepce, Daguerre, Herschell, Read, Mungo Ponton, Faraday, Fox Talbot, and others, briefly pointing out the nature of their discoveries, and the dates at which they were made known. The early workers had attemped to secure the colours seen on the ground glass screen in various ways. Some had tried to obtain reproductions of the colours separately, and to combine them into a whole, and had used glasses of I various tints to separate the colours. A difficulty met with was the reflection from every coloured object of white light. He then dealt with the colour-sensitive dyes which had been tried—eosine, erythrosine, cyanin, chlorophyll, &c., and said that the addition of ammonia, discovered and patented by THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS.
