THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
NOTES BY "EFTOO"
That the 1934 Telegraph Com- petition was an butstanding suc- coso, la agreed on all sides. Of particular Interest is the fact that several prizes were awarded to members of the Hongkong Inter national Photographic Society. I mention this, not because I consider the Club can claim any of the credit,
Intending but because
members, particularly beginners, will have the benefit of the knowledge and experience of these prize-winniern, when the Club's premises are established, and regular demonstra- tions given.
A point that struck mc parti cularly was the poor quality of quite a large percentage of prints. There is no doubt that bromide paper is the most popular printing medium amongst serious photo- graphers to-day. The use of small cumoras, to say nothing of the fine range of bromide papers available, is the main reason for this. It can hold its own with the best that can be secured by any priating method.
The perfect print is one that is of good colour, has a long seule of gradation, in which no part is of the subject is represented by white paper, and no part black silver with no suggestion of detall. Such n print is the result of first choosing a paper which will exactly suit the character of the nestative. which has been exposed, developed and fixed in the proper manner,
