HUNDRED BEST BIRCH NEEDED FOR
PHOTOGRAPHS.
WONDER WORK OF THE JAPANESE.
A WEEK TO TAKE ONE.
[00 B, FL. WILLNÍKY.]
LONDON, Dec. 19th. I have been studying a hundred pictorial photographs by photo. graphers from all parts of the world, reproduced in "Photo grams," which claims to be a re- end of the most artistic photo- graphs produced this year and I have been struck by the astonishing powers of design shown in every instance by the Japanese,
The effect of a photograph, its success or failure, from the artistic standpoint, as every professional; and amateur photographer well knows, is a matter of pictorial spae- ing, an affair of balancing lines and nicely contrasted light and shade. Every beginner has taken "snaps which make a picture and others which obviously do not; and all tou often it is just when the subject.. seemed most propitious that the re- sult disappointed most.

The lads told the magistrate they were sorry and had been merely joy-riding.

The most famous, Japanese photo-been a doctor's car and he had to Jr. Cairns: Supposing this had graphers-wady of whom live in attend some person seriously ill California seemed to be able to hit and you had taken the car for a bull's-eye with evers print.

There is a good deal of the death of somebody through Breaking beneath an evening sky, this joy-riding going on. or strange patterns Aoating on an ail ditch, or a girl's silhouette seen through an umbrella, or a collection of cardboard boxes on a table, the result is every time just right."
The Photographer's Secret. How this is achieved is, of course, in each case, the photographers' secret, but it derives, fundamentally, from the Japanese art senac; that feeling for pattern and geometric balance which pervades all the act, this gifted race, as it pervades, and has always pervailed, the art of the
Chinese.
Also; it must be noted, the fapanese prints bre very little "faked." The work after the moment of exposure is largels mechanical. The personal work, the which makes the print artistic,

These photographers spare no pains to arrange their subject and to study the pattern which it makes in light and shades. If the subject cannot be arranged the time is spent in choosing the exact position of the camera, and in waiting for the effects of light and shadow, if they are such as cannot be produced by
пад
This fequires sometimes a truly Oriental patience, and it is to this infinite patience that the success of many of these Japanese photographs | is due.
Forfect Angle. Western photographers spend far less time on the arrangement of their subject in the studio and the choice of the perfect angle and range when out of doors, They "tend to rely on retouching after the exposure, so that often little or nothing of the camera's real record remains in the finished
print."
Artists who are short-sighted or muddle-headed or who cannot draw do well to make their pictures sineary. But the camera is clear- sighted, single-minded, and it can draw superbly in its own parties lur way. The Japane` photu- grapher spends a week arranging or choosing his subject and decid- ing on the camera's place-and then he treads on the accelerator and let the camera do the rest.
Our pictorial photographers, in word, can learn three things from the Japtiese photographs. The first is that they must study design in the abstract and require the pattern sense; the second is that the picture must be finished an far as possible before the exposure, since any work done falter is realig fake; and the third is that if they dislike the clear, natural ste ments of their excellent machines, day had better give up photo- graphy and take to something else,
